2016

Dear DuPont Shareowners,

2016 was a year of transformation and
accomplishment for DuPont. We made meaningful
progress improving the fundamentals of the business
and signiﬁcantly strengthened our competitive
position, so that we started 2017 operating at a
new standard of excellence. Our actions delivered
strong results, while laying the foundation to drive
sustainable value for shareholders over the long
term. As we look ahead, we expect our continued
strategic focus and discipline will advance our
standing among global industry leaders. We
accomplished all this while also making progress
to prepare for the next major step in the company’s
214-year history – the proposed merger of equals
with The Dow Chemical Company and the intended
creation of three industry-leading companies.

Driving Performance
In 2016, we focused our efforts on increasing
efﬁciency and productivity to improve our
performance against metrics we identiﬁed as key
to shareholder value creation. Even as we faced
continued macroeconomic headwinds, we drove
progress in each of our businesses. The 2016 results
speak for themselves:

We are also continuing DuPont’s historic
commitment to invest in the future. When you look
beyond our 2016 numbers, you see customer wins,
strong execution and a robust pipeline – all results
of our unparalleled innovation engine. All of our
businesses are building on competitive positions
in their markets by drawing on world-class science,
technology and engineering expertise to deliver
the value-added solutions our customers want
and need.

In 2016, we introduced nearly 1,600 new products
into the marketplace, including our Pioneer® brand
Optimum® Leptra® hybrids, a powerful pyramid
of traits that protects plant health, yield and grain
quality against a wide range of pests. The Optimum®
Leptra® product lineup was one of the fastest
technology ramp-ups in DuPont Pioneer history and
counted for nearly 70 percent of our sales in the
Brazil summer season. We also had success with our
DuPont™ Zorvec™ fungicide launch, which exceeded
expectations and will continue to drive sales in 2017.
In Industrial Biosciences, our new lineup of bioactive
products is serving industries ranging from food
and grain processing to household products. And
in Electronics & Communications, new product
introductions in DuPont™ Solamet® paste resulted
in market share gains over the prior year.

Our ongoing investment in R&D and product
development continues to drive strong near-
term results and strengthens our position in the
marketplace, while ensuring sustainable top-line
growth for our businesses over the long term.
As always, innovation remains a deﬁning feature
of DuPont’s past, present and future.

More Focused, Effective and Efﬁcient
We recognize that sustainable success requires
we are not only innovative, but also productive
and efﬁcient. To this end, going into 2016, we
identiﬁed three critical priorities to help us achieve
best-in-class operating efﬁciency: cost savings,
disciplined and productive capital spending,
and improved working capital performance. We
successfully executed – and in many cases exceeded
expectations – against all three.

Our continued efforts to streamline the organization
delivered $750 million in year-over-year cost savings,
surpassing our goal for 2016. At the same time,
our capital expenditures for the year declined,
putting our capital spending back in line with
depreciation and amortization. These investments
focused on our most compelling growth projects
and offer solid returns. We also worked to improve
our working capital in 2016 – and set a goal for a
$1 billion improvement over the medium term –
while increasing our free cash ﬂow.

Each of these is a critical metric, enabling the
necessary investments in the business and in
capital projects that will drive our long-term
growth. For example, there is growing interest and
understanding of the beneﬁts of probiotics today
and this market is rapidly expanding. As a leading
company in this space, we are uniquely positioned
to seize this opportunity, and we approved
an investment in probiotic production facility
expansion in New York and Wisconsin of
more than $100 million.

We will continue to keep rigorous focus in the
coming year as we build on this success and pursue
new paths for growth going forward.

Progress Toward Closing the Merger
We continue to work through the regulatory review
process for our intended merger with Dow. Merging
our highly complementary portfolios gives us the
ability to create three strong global businesses in
Agriculture, Specialty Products and Material
Science on the foundation of our combined assets,
capabilities and scale. Following the merger and
subject to the approval of the DowDuPont Board,
we intend to separate into three independent
companies that will be industry leaders. With greater
focus, each company will be able to unlock its full
growth potential by allocating capital more effectively,
applying its powerful innovation more productively
and expanding products and solutions to more
customers worldwide. With lower cost structures and
increased agility, they will be better positioned to
grow and thrive over the long term – reinvesting in
science and innovation, delivering signiﬁcant value
for shareholders and helping customers address
global challenges.

We are extremely excited about the opportunities
in 2017 and beyond. We ﬁnished 2016 in a much
stronger position than we started, with our
businesses delivering on our strategic priorities
and generating positive momentum across the
board. We are driving growth that is rooted in the
fundamental business model that has assured
DuPont’s success for more than 200 years –
adapting to change, connecting science to the
marketplace, forging ahead in new markets and
creating new opportunities.

Together, we are laying the foundation for a bright
future ahead.

Thank you for your investment in DuPont.

Note on Incorporation by Reference

Information pertaining to certain Items in Part III of this report is incorporated by reference to portions of the company's definitive
2016 Annual Meeting Proxy Statement to be filed within 120 days after the end of the year covered by this Annual Report on
Form 10-K, pursuant to Regulation 14A (the Proxy).

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
SS

Part I

DuPont was founded in 1802 and was incorporated in Delaware in 1915. Today, DuPont is helping customers find solutions to
capitalize on areas of growing global demand — enabling more, safer, nutritious food; creating high-performance, cost-effective
and energy efficient materials for a wide range of industries; and increasingly delivering renewably sourced bio-based materials
and fuels. Total worldwide employment at December 31, 2016 was about 46,000 people. The company has operations in about
90 countries worldwide and 61 percent of consolidated net sales are made to customers outside the United States of America
(U.S.). See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on the location of the company's sales and
property.

Subsidiaries and affiliates of DuPont conduct manufacturing, seed production or selling activities and some are distributors of
products manufactured by the company. As a science and technology based company, DuPont competes on a variety of factors
such as product quality and performance or specifications, continuity of supply, price, customer service and breadth of product
line, depending on the characteristics of the particular market involved and the product or service provided. Most products are
marketed primarily through the company's sales force, although in some regions, more emphasis is placed on sales through
distributors. The company utilizes numerous suppliers as well as internal sources to supply a wide range of raw materials, energy,
supplies, services and equipment. To ensure availability, the company maintains multiple sources for fuels and many raw materials,
including hydrocarbon feedstocks. Large volume purchases are generally procured under competitively priced supply contracts.

DuPont Dow Merger of Equals
On December 11, 2015, DuPont and The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) announced entry into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the Merger Agreement), under which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger of equals (the Merger Transaction)
subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval. Subject to the terms and conditions
of the Merger Agreement, (i) Dow Merger Sub, a Delaware corporation that was formed on December 9, 2015, as a wholly owned
subsidiary of DowDuPont Inc., a company jointly owned by Dow and DuPont, (DowDuPont) will be merged with and into Dow,
with Dow surviving as a subsidiary of DowDuPont, (the Dow Merger), and (ii) DuPont Merger Sub, a Delaware corporation that
was formed on December 9, 2015 as a wholly owned subsidiary of DowDuPont, will be merged with and into DuPont, with DuPont
surviving the merger as a subsidiary of DowDuPont, (the DuPont Merger and, together with the Dow Merger, the Mergers). As a
result of the Mergers, among other things, (a) DowDuPont will become the ultimate parent of Dow, DuPont and their respective
subsidiaries and (b) existing Dow stockholders and DuPont stockholders will receive DowDuPont common stock, in accordance
with the terms of the Merger Agreement. On July 20, 2016, stockholders of both DuPont and Dow voted to approve all stockholder
proposals necessary to complete the Merger Transaction at their respective special meetings. Following the consummation of the
Merger Transaction, DuPont and Dow intend to pursue, subject to the receipt of approval by the Board of Directors of DowDuPont,
the separation of the combined company’s agriculture business, specialty products business and material science business through
a series of tax-efficient transactions (collectively, the Intended Business Separations).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock, par value $0.30 per share, of DuPont
(DuPont Common Stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement),
excluding any shares of DuPont Common Stock that are held in treasury, will be converted into the right to receive 1.2820 shares
of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of DowDuPont (DowDuPont Common Stock), for each share of DuPont Common
Stock with cash in lieu of any fractional share of DowDuPont. Each share of DuPont Preferred Stock-$4.50 Series and DuPont
Preferred Stock-$3.50 Series, in each case issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall remain issued
and outstanding and be unaffected by the merger.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par
value $2.50 per share, of Dow (the Dow Common Stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, excluding
any shares of Dow Common Stock that are held in treasury, will be converted into the right to receive one share of DowDuPont
Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock,
Series A, par value $1.00 per share, of Dow (the Dow Preferred) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
would be automatically canceled and each holder of shares of Dow Preferred would be deemed to hold the same number of shares
of preferred stock of DowDuPont on equivalent terms. However, on December 30, 2016, (the Dow Preferred Conversion Date)
each share of Dow Preferred was converted into 24.2010 shares of Dow Common Stock. In connection therewith, on the Dow
Preferred Conversion date, Dow issued 96,804,000 shares of Dow Common Stock. As a result, it is expected that no shares of
preferred stock of DowDuPont will be issued pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement at the Effective Time.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS, continued

Part I

DuPont and Dow continue to work constructively with regulators in key jurisdictions to obtain approval and to prepare for closing
as soon as possible after closing conditions have been met. Consummation of the Merger Transaction is contingent on satisfaction
of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approval from the U.S., European Union, China, Brazil and
Canada. Subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals, closing would be
expected to occur in first half of 2017.

See the discussion entitled Merger Risks Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, and Part II, Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details and a
discussion of some of the risks related to the transaction. Additional information about the Merger Transaction and the Merger
Agreement is set forth in the definitive registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-209869) (as amended, the Registration
Statement) that includes a joint proxy statement of Dow and DuPont and that also constitutes a prospectus of DowDuPont and the
company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 11, 2015.

Spin-off of Performance Chemicals
On July 1, 2015, DuPont completed the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment through the spin-off of all of the issued
and outstanding stock of The Chemours Company (Chemours). In connection with the separation, the company and Chemours
entered into a Separation Agreement and a Tax matters Agreement as well as certain ancillary agreements. In accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), the financial position and results of operations of the Performance
Chemicals segment are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and
segment results for all periods presented. Additional details regarding the separation and other related agreements can be found u
in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Productivity and Cost Savings Initiatives
On December 11, 2015, DuPont announced a 2016 global cost savings and restructuring plan designed to reduce $730 million in
costs in 2016 compared with 2015, which represents a reduction of operating costs on a run-rate basis of about $1.0 billion by end
of 2016. As part of the plan, the company committed to take structural actions across all businesses and staff functions globally
to operate more efficiently by further consolidating businesses and aligning staff functions more closely with them. In connection
with the restructuring actions, the company recorded a pre-tax charge to earnings of $798 million in the fourth quarter 2015,
comprised of $656 million of severance and related benefit costs, $109 million of asset related charges, and $33 million of contract
termination costs. The restructuring actions associated with the charge are substantially complete and the plan delivered the target
cost reductions in 2016 versus prior year. Additional details related to this plan can be found in Item 7, Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, on page 24 of this report and Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

In June 2014, DuPont announced its global, multi-year initiative to redesign its global organization and operating model to reduce
costs and improve productivity and agility across all businesses and functions. DuPont commenced a restructuring plan to realign
and rebalance staff function support, enhance operational efficiency, and to reduce residual costs associated with the separation
of its Performance Chemicals segment. Cost reductions from the 2014 operational redesign were essentially completed during
2015 and for full year 2015, the company delivered incremental cost savings of approximately $440 million year over year.
Additional details related to this plan can be found in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, on page 24 of this report and Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business Segments
The company consists of 7 businesses which are aggregated into 6 reportable segments based on similar economic characteristics,
the nature of the products and production processes, end-use markets, channels of distribution and regulatory environment. The
company's reportable segments are Agriculture, Electronics & Communications, Industrial Biosciences, Nutrition & Health,
Performance Materials and Protection Solutions. The company includes certain businesses not included in the reportable segments,
such as pre-commercial programs, nonaligned businesses and pharmaceuticals in Other. Additional information with respect to
business segment results is included in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, on page 31 of this report and Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effective January 1, 2016, the DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers business consolidated with the DuPont Performance
Polymers business within the Performance Materials segment, and the DuPont Protection Technologies business consolidated
with the DuPont Building Innovations business within the former Safety & Protection segment (now Protection Solutions). The
consolidations were undertaken to create greater efficiency and enhanced capabilities in the two segments where these businesses
operate. These changes did not result in a change in reportable segments.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS, continued

Part I

DuPont Sustainable Solutions, previously within the company's former Safety & Protection segment (now Protection Solutions),
was comprised of two business units: clean technologies and consulting solutions. Effective January 1, 2016, the clean technologies
business unit became part of the Industrial Biosciences segment with the focus on working with customers to improve the
performance, productivity and sustainability of their products and processes. The company is exploring a range of options to
maximize the growth of the consulting solutions business unit which effective January 1, 2016 is reported within Other.

Agriculture
Agriculture businesses, DuPont Pioneer (Pioneer) and DuPont Crop Protection (Crop Protection), leverage the company's
technology, customer relationships and industry knowledge to improve the quantity, quality and safety of the global food supply
and the global production agriculture industry. Land available for worldwide agricultural production is increasingly limited so
production growth will need to be achieved principally through improving crop yields and productivity rather than through increases
in planted area. The segment's businesses deliver a broad portfolio of products and services that are specifically targeted to achieve
gains in crop yields and productivity, including Pioneer® brand seed products and well-established brands of insecticides, fungicides
and herbicides. Research and development focuses on leveraging technology to increase grower productivity and to enhance the
value of grains and oilseeds through improved seed traits, superior seed germplasm and effective use of insecticides, herbicides
and fungicides. Agriculture accounted for 57 percent of the company's total research and development expense in 2016.

Sales of the company's products in this segment are affected by the seasonality of global agriculture markets and weather patterns.
Sales and earnings performance in the Agriculture segment are significantly stronger in the first versus second half of the year
reflecting the northern hemisphere planting season. As a result of the seasonal nature of its business, Agriculture's inventory is at
its highest level at the end of the calendar year and is sold down in the first and second quarters. Trade receivables in the Agriculture
segment are at a low point at year-end and increase through the northern hemisphere selling season to peak at the end of the second
quarter.

Pioneer is a world leader in developing, producing and marketing hybrid corn seed and soybean seed varieties which improve the
productivity and profitability of its customers. Additionally, Pioneer develops, produces and markets canola, sunflower, sorghum,
wheat and rice seed, as well as silage inoculants. As the world's population grows and the middle class expands, the need for
crops for animal feed, food, biofuels and industrial uses continues to increase. The business competes with other seed and plant
biotechnology companies. Pioneer seed sales amounted to 27 percent of the company's total consolidated net sales for the years
ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Pioneer's research and development focuses on integrating high yielding germplasm with value added proprietary and/or licensed
native and biotechnology traits with local environment and service expertise. Pioneer uniquely develops integrated products for
specific regional application based on local product advancement and testing of the product concepts. Research and development
in this arena requires long-term commitment of resources, extensive regulatory efforts and collaborations, partnerships and business
arrangements to successfully bring products to market. To protect its investment, the business employs the use of patents covering
germplasm and native and biotechnology traits in accordance with country laws. Pioneer holds multiple long-term biotechnology
trait licenses from third parties as a normal course of business. The biotechnology traits licensed by Pioneer from third parties
are contained in a variety of Pioneer crops, including corn hybrids and soybean varieties. The majority of Pioneer’s corn hybrids
and soybean varieties sold to customers contain biotechnology traits licensed from third parties under these long term licenses.

Pioneer is actively pursuing the development of innovations for corn hybrids, soybean varieties, and canola, sunflower, wheat and
rice seed based on market assessments of the most valuable opportunities. In corn seeds, programs include innovations for insect
protection, drought, yield and yield stability. In soybean seeds, programs include products with enhanced end-use value and insect
protection.

Pioneer has seed production facilities located throughout the world. Seed production is performed directly by the business or
contracted with independent growers and conditioners. Pioneer's ability to produce seeds primarily depends upon growing
conditions and availability of reliable contract growers.

Pioneer markets and sells seed product primarily under the Pioneer® brand but also sells and distributes products utilizing additional
brand names. Pioneer promotes its products through multiple marketing channels around the world. In the corn and soybean
markets of the U.S. Corn Belt, Pioneer® brand products are sold primarily through a specialized force of independent sales
representatives. Outside of North America, Pioneer's products are marketed through a network of subsidiaries, joint ventures and
independent producer-distributors.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS, continued

Part I

Crop Protection serves the global production agriculture industry with crop protection products for field crops such as wheat, corn,
soybean and rice and specialty crops such as fruit, nut, vine and vegetables. Principle crop protection products are weed control,
disease control and insect control offerings for foliar application or as a seed treatment. Crop Protection products are marketed
and sold to growers and other end users through a network of wholesale distributors and crop input retailers. Sales for the business'

in circuit and semiconductor fabrication and packaging materials, PV materials, display materials, packaging graphics, and digital
printing.

In the consumer electronics market, E&C materials add value across multiple devices, with growth driven largely by smart phones.
The segment has a portfolio of materials for semiconductor fabrication and packaging, as well as innovative materials for circuit
applications, to address critical needs of electronic component and device manufacturers. In the growing PV market, E&C is an
industry-leading innovator and supplier of metallization pastes and backsheet materials that improve the efficiency and lifetime
of solar cells and solar modules. Solar modules, which are made up of solar cells and other materials, are installed to generate
power. DuPont is a leading global supplier of materials to the PV industry. In packaging graphics, E&C is a leading supplier of
flexographic printing systems, including Cyrel® photopolymer plates and platemaking systems, and is investing in new products
to strengthen its market leadership position. The segment supplies pigmented inks used in digital printing applications for textile,
commercial and home-office use. In the displays market, E&C has developed solution-process technology, which it licenses for
active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) television displays.

The major commodities, raw materials and supplies for E&C include: acrylic monomers, acetoxystyrene monomer, black and
color pigments, styrenic block copolymers, color dyes, copper foil, difluoroethane, diglycolamine, DMAC, hydroxylamine,
monomers and polymer resins, oxydianiline, polyester film, polymer films, precious metals and pyromellitic dianhydride.

E&C net sales outside the U.S. accounted for 79 percent of the segment's total sales in 2016.

Industrial Biosciences
Industrial Biosciences is a leader in developing and manufacturing a broad portfolio of bio-based products. The segment's enzymes

Backlog
In general, the company does not manufacture its products against a backlog of orders and does not consider backlog to be a
significant indicator of the level of future sales activity. Production and inventory levels are based on the level of incoming orders
as well as projections of future demand. Therefore, the company believes that backlog information is not material to understanding
its overall business and should not be considered a reliable indicator of the company's ability to achieve any particular level of
revenue or financial performance.

Intellectual Property
As a science and technology based company, DuPont believes that securing intellectual property is an important part of protecting
its research. Some DuPont businesses operate in environments in which the availability and protection of intellectual property
rights affect competition. Information on the importance of intellectual property rights to Pioneer is included in Item 1 Agriculture
business discussion beginning on page 4 of this report.

Trade secrets are an important element of the company's intellectual property. Many of the processes used to make DuPont products
are kept as trade secrets which, from time to time, may be licensed to third parties. DuPont vigilantly protects all of its intellectual
property including its trade secrets. When the company discovers that its trade secrets have been unlawfully taken, it reports the
matter to governmental authorities for investigation and potential criminal action, as appropriate. In addition, the company takes
measures to mitigate any potential impact, which may include civil actions seeking redress, restitution and/or damages based on
loss to the company and/or unjust enrichment.

Patents & Trademarks: DuPont continually applies for and obtains U.S. and foreign patents and has access to a large patent
portfolio, both owned and licensed. DuPont’s rights under these patents and licenses, as well as the products made and sold under
them, are important to the company in the aggregate. The protection afforded by these patents varies based on country, scope of
individual patent coverage, as well as the availability of legal remedies in each country. This significant patent estate may be
leveraged to align with the company’s strategic priorities within and across segments. At December 31, 2016, the company owned
about 6,500 active U.S. patents and about 10,000 active patents outside of the U.S., of which about 55 and 30 percent, respectively,
relate to the Agriculture segment.

Research and Development
DuPont’s investment in research and development (R&D) was $1.6 billion in 2016, $1.9 billion in 2015 and $2.0 billion in 2014.
DuPont conducts R&D activities to renew our portfolio, create new product lines, and transform markets to deliver results in the
short, mid and long term. Each business in the company directs R&D activities that support its business objectives, and the company
supports cross-business and cross-functional investment to incubate new science-intensive growth opportunities additive to the
existing business portfolios. The R&D portfolio is managed by senior business and R&D leaders to ensure consistency with the
corporate and business strategies and to capitalize on the application of emerging science. DuPont’s R&D leverages the company's
unique world-class science, technology and engineering capabilities, deep understanding of markets and value chains, and research
collaborations, to drive revenue and profit growth.

The company protects its R&D investment through its intellectual property strategy. See discussion under “Intellectual Property”
beginning on page 7.

Additional information with respect to R&D related to Agriculture is included on page 4.

Environmental Matters

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Part I

Risks relating to the Mergers
The risk factors below should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and other information related to the Mergers set forthrr
in the Registration Statement and the risk factors related to the company’s operations set forth below as well as the other information
contained in this report.

Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected or may impose conditions that are not presently
anticipated or that cannot be met.
Before the Mergers may be completed, various approvals, authorizations and declarations of non-objection must be obtained from
certain regulatory and governmental authorities. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Dow and DuPont
have each agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and
to assist and cooperate with each other in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, as
soon as possible following the date of the Merger Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement. For purposes of the foregoing, "reasonable best efforts" includes (i) the sale, divestiture or disposition of such assets
or businesses of either party or its subsidiaries or affiliates and (ii) restrictions or actions that after the Effective Time would limit
DowDuPont's or its subsidiaries' or affiliates' freedom of action or operations with respect to retaining, or its ability to retain, one
or more of its or its subsidiaries' businesses, product lines or assets. These regulatory and governmental entities may impose
conditions on the granting of such approvals and if such regulatory and governmental entities seek to impose such conditions,
lengthy negotiations may ensue among such regulatory or governmental entities, DuPont and Dow. Such conditions and the process
of obtaining regulatory approvals could have the effect of delaying completion of the Mergers and such conditions may not be
satisfied for an extended period of time. Such conditions may also impose additional costs or limitations on the combined companyaa
following the completion of the Mergers, including the requirement that the respective Dow and DuPont businesses divest certain
assets if necessary in order to obtain certain regulatory approvals, and may limit the ability of the combined company to integrate
parts of the DuPont and Dow businesses and negatively impact the ultimate composition of the entities we expect to constitute in
connection with the Intended Business Separations. These conditions may therefore reduce the anticipated benefits of the Mergers,
which could also have a material adverse effect on the combined company’s business and cash flows and results of operations,
and DuPont cannot predict what, if any, changes may be required by regulatory or governmental authorities whose approvals are
required. The regulatory approvals may not be received at all, may not be received in a timely fashion, and may contain conditions
on the completion of the Mergers.

DuPont or Dow may waive one or more of the closing conditions without re-soliciting stockholder approval.
DuPont or Dow may determine to waive, in whole or in part, one or more of the conditions to its obligations to consummate the
Mergers. DuPont or Dow currently expect to evaluate the materiality of any waiver and its effect on DuPont stockholders or Dow
stockholders, as applicable, in light of the facts and circumstances at the time to determine whether any amendment of the
Registration Statement or any re-solicitation of proxies or voting cards is required in light of such waiver. Any determination
whether to waive any condition to the Mergers or as to re-soliciting stockholder approval or amending the Registration Statement
as a result of the waiver will be made by DuPont or Dow, as applicable, at the time of such waiver based on the facts and
circumstances as they exist at that time.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Mergers may not be completed.
The completion of the Mergers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions. Those conditions include: (i) the
receipt of certain domestic and foreign regulatory approvals under competition laws, including the termination or expiration of
the waiting period under the HSR Act; (ii) the absence of certain governmental restraints or prohibitions preventing completion
of the DuPont Merger or the Dow Merger; (iii) the approval of the shares of DowDuPont Common Stock to be issued to DuPont
stockholders and Dow stockholders for listing on the NYSE; (iv) the reasonable determination by DuPont and Dow that neither
the DuPont Merger nor the Dow Merger will constitute an acquisition of a 50 percent or greater interest in Dow or DuPont, under
Section 355(e) of the Code; (v) the truth and correctness of the representations and warranties made by both parties (generally
subject to certain “materiality” and “material adverse effect” qualifiers); (vi) the performance by DuPont and Dow of their respective
obligations under the Merger Agreement in all material respects; and (vii) the receipt by both parties of legal opinions from their
respective tax counsels with respect to the tax-free nature of each of the Mergers.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, continued

Part I

These conditions to the closing may not be fulfilled and, accordingly, the Mergers may not be completed. In addition, if the Mergers
are not completed by March 15, 2017 (subject to extension to June 15, 2017, by either party if certain antitrust-related conditions
to the closing have not been satisfied), either DuPont or Dow may choose not to proceed with the Mergers, and the parties can
mutually decide to terminate the Merger Agreement at any time prior to the consummation of the Mergers. In addition, DuPont
or Dow may elect to terminate the Merger Agreement in certain other circumstances. If the Merger Agreement is terminated, Dow
and DuPont may incur substantial fees in connection with termination of the Merger Agreement and will not recognize the
anticipated benefits of the Mergers.

Termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively impact DuPont.
If the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and the Mergers are not consummated, the ongoing businesses
of DuPont may be adversely affected by a variety of factors. DuPont's respective businesses may be adversely impacted by the
failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities during the pendency of the Mergers, by the failure to obtain the anticipated benefits
of completing the Mergers, by payment of certain costs relating to the Mergers, and by the focus of DuPont's management on the
Mergers for an extended period of time rather than on management opportunities or other issues. The market price of DuPont
common stock might decline as a result of any such failures to the extent that the current market prices reflect a market assumptionmm
that the Mergers will be completed.

In addition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, DuPont or Dow may be required to pay a termination
fee of $1.9 billion to the other party, depending on the circumstances surrounding the termination. DuPont may also be negatively
impacted if the Merger Agreement is terminated and it seeks but is unable to find another business combination or strategic
transaction offering equivalent or more attractive consideration than the consideration to be provided in the Mergers, or if DuPont
becomes subject to litigation related to entering into or failing to consummate the Mergers, including direct actions by DuPont
stockholders against the directors and/or officers of DuPont for breaches of fiduciary duty, and stockholder derivative actions.

There can be no assurance that the expected benefits of the Mergers, including the Intended Business Separations, will
occur or be fully or timely realized.
The success of the Mergers will depend, in part, on the combined company’s ability to successfully combine the businesses of
DuPont and Dow. If the combined company is not able to successfully combine the businesses of DuPont and Dow in an efficient
and effective manner, including if the Intended Business Separations are delayed or ultimately not consummated, the anticipated
benefits, synergies, operational efficiencies and cost savings may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than
expected, and the value of common stock, the revenues, levels of expenses and results of operations of the combined company
may be adversely affected.

The combination of two independent businesses is a complex, costly and time consuming process, and the management of the
combined company may face significant challenges in implementing such integration, including, without limitation:

•

•
•
•

•

latent impacts resulting from the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business concerns as a result of the
devotion of management’s attention to the Mergers and resulting performance shortfalls;
ongoing diversion of the attention of management from the operation of the combined company’s business as a result of
the Intended Business Separations;
difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects;
difficulties in managing a larger combined company addressing differences in business culture and retaining key personnel;
the possibility of faulty assumptions underlying expectations regarding the integration process, including with respect to
the Intended Business Separations;
unanticipated issues in integrating information technology, communications programs, financial procedures and
operations, and other systems, procedures and policies;
unanticipated changes in applicable laws and regulations;

•
• managing tax costs or inefficiencies associated with integrating the operations of the combined company and the Intended

Business Separations;
coordinating geographically separate organizations; and unforeseen expenses or delays associated with the Mergers.

•

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, continued

Part I

Some of these factors will be outside of the control of management and any one of them could result in increased costs and diversion
of management’s time and energy, as well as decreases in the amount of expected revenues which could materially impact the
company’s business, financial conditions and results of operations. The integration process and other disruptions resulting from
the Mergers may also adversely affect the combined company’s relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, distributors,
licensors and others with whom DuPont and Dow have business or other dealings, and difficulties in integrating the businesses
or regulatory functions of DuPont and Dow could harm the reputation of the combined company.

If the combined company is not able to successfully combine the businesses of DuPont and Dow in an efficient, cost-effective
and timely manner, the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Mergers (including the Intended Business Separations) may
not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected, and the value of DowDuPont common stock, the
revenues, levels of expenses and results of operations may be affected adversely. If the combined company is not able to adequately
address integration challenges, the combined company may be unable to integrate successfully DuPont’s and Dow’s operations,
effect the Intended Business Separations or to realize the anticipated benefits of the transactions.

DuPont will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions until the Mergers are consummated.
Uncertainty about the completion or effect of the Mergers on employees, suppliers, customers, distributors, licensors and licensees
as well as regulatory permits, licenses, contracts and other agreements, particularly for which the Mergers could be deemed a
“change-in-control” under the applicable terms and conditions may have an adverse effect on DuPont, Dow and consequently on
the combined company. Changes to existing business relationships, including termination or modification, could negatively affect
each of DuPont’s and/or Dow's revenues, earnings and cash flow, as well as the market price of its common stock. These uncertainties
may impair each party’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the consummation of the Mergers, and could
cause suppliers, customers and others that deal with the parties to seek to change existing business relationships with them.
Retention of employees could be challenging during the pendency of the Mergers due to uncertainty about their future roles. If
key employees depart because of issues related to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the
businesses, the combined company’s business following the consummation of the Mergers could be negatively impacted. Further,
no assurance can be given that the combined company will be able to attract or retain key management personnel and other key
employees of DuPont and Dow to the same extent that DuPont and Dow have previously been able to attract or retain their
employees.

In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts each of DuPont and Dow, without the consent of the other party, from making certain
acquisitions and divestitures, entering into certain contracts, incurring certain indebtedness and expenditures, paying dividends
in excess of certain thresholds, repurchasing or issuing securities outside of existing share repurchase and equity award programs,
and taking other specified actions until the earlier of the completion of the Mergers or the termination of the Merger Agreement.
These restrictions may prevent or delay pursuit of strategic corporate or business opportunities that may arise prior to the
consummation of the Mergers. Adverse effects arising during the pendency of the Mergers could be exacerbated by any delays in
consummation of the Mergers or termination of the Merger Agreement.

Inability to access the debt capital markets could impair DuPont's liquidity, business or financial condition.
DuPont has relied and continues to rely on access to the debt capital markets to finance its day-to-day and long-term operations.
In connection with the Mergers, Dow and DuPont do not intend for DowDuPont to incur debt obligations or guarantee the debt
obligations of Dow or DuPont.

Any limitation on DuPont’s ability to raise money in the debt markets could have a substantial negative effect on its liquidity.
Access to the debt capital markets in amounts adequate to finance DuPont's activities could be impaired as a result of the existence
of material nonpublic information about the Intended Business Separations and other potential factors, including factors that are a
not specific to DuPont, such as a severe disruption of the financial markets and interest rate fluctuations.

DuPont expects to incur substantial transaction-related costs in the connection with the Mergers.
DuPont expects to incur significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection
with the transaction. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the company incurred transaction-related costs of $386
million and $10 million, respectively. The substantial majority of these costs are and will continue to be expenses relating to the
Mergers and the Intended Business Separations, including costs relating to integration and separation planning. These costs could
adversely affect the financial condition and results of operation of DuPont prior to the Mergers and of the combined company
following the Mergers.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, continued

Part I

The determination to proceed with the Intended Business Separations will not be made at the time of the consummation
of the Mergers, and the expected benefits of such transactions, if they occur, will be uncertain.
In connection with the Mergers, Dow and DuPont have announced their intention that the combined company will pursue the
separation of the combined company’s agriculture business, material science business and specialty products business through
one or more tax-efficient transactions, resulting in three independent, publicly traded companies. However, consummation of the
Mergers is not conditioned on the Intended Business Separations, and the determination as to whether to pursue such transactions
will be made by the DowDuPont Board following the consummation of the Mergers. Following the consummation of the Mergers,
the DowDuPont Board may ultimately determine to abandon one or more of the Intended Business Separations, and such
determination could have an adverse impact on the value of the combined company. Additionally, there are many determinations
with respect to the Intended Business Separations that, by their nature, cannot be determined until the completion of the Mergers,
including definitive determinations with regard to the capital structure of the various businesses and allocation of liabilities among
them. As such, there are many factors that could, through the closing and prior to the determination by the DowDuPont Board to
proceed with the Intended Business Separations, impact the structure or timing of, the anticipated benefits from, or determination
to ultimately proceed with, the Intended Business Separations, including, among others, global economic conditions, instability
in credit markets, declining consumer and business confidence, fluctuating commodity prices and interest rates, volatile exchange
rates, tax considerations, and other challenges that could affect the global economy, specific market conditions in one or more of
the industries of the businesses proposed to be separated, and changes in the regulatory or legal environment. Such changes could
adversely impact the value of one or more of the Intended Business Separations to the combined company’s stockholders.
Additionally, to the extent the DowDuPont Board determines to proceed with the Intended Business Separations, the consummation
of such transactions is a complex, costly and time consuming process, and there can be no assurance that the intended benefits of
such transactions will be achieved. An inability to realize the full extent of the anticipated benefits of the Intended Business
Separations, as well as any delays encountered in the process, could have an adverse effect upon the revenues, level of expenses
and operating results of the agriculture business, the specialty products business, the material science business and/or the combined
company.

Risks Related to the Company’s Operations

The company's operations could be affected by various risks, many of which are beyond its control. Based on current information,
the company believes that the following identifies the most significant risk factors that could affect its businesses. Past financial
performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or
trends in future periods.

The company’s operations outside the United States are subject to risks and restrictions, which could negatively affect our
results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
The company’s operations outside the United States are subject to risks and restrictions, including fluctuations in currency values
and foreign-currency exchange rates; exchange control regulations; changes in local political or economic conditions; import and
trade restrictions; import or export licensing requirements and trade policy and other potentially detrimental domestic and foreign
governmental practices or policies affecting U.S. companies doing business abroad. Although DuPont has operations throughout
the world, sales outside the U.S. in 2016 were principally to customers in Eurozone countries, China, Brazil, and Japan. Further,
the company’s largest currency exposures are the European euro, the Chinese yuan, the Brazilian real, and the Japanese yen.
Market uncertainty or an economic downturn in these geographic areas could reduce demand for the company’s products and
result in decreased sales volume, which could have a negative impact on DuPont’s results of operations. In addition, changes in
exchange rates may affect the company’s results from operations, financial condition and cash flows in future periods. The company
actively manages currency exposures that are associated with net monetary asset positions, committed currency purchases and
sales, foreign currency-denominated revenues and other assets and liabilities created in the normal course of business.

Volatility in energy and raw materials costs could have a significant impact on the company's sales and earnings.
The company's manufacturing processes consume significant amounts of energy and raw materials, the costs of which are subject
to worldwide supply and demand as well as other factors beyond the control of the company. Significant variations in the cost of
energy, which primarily reflect market prices for oil, natural gas, and raw materials affect the company's operating results from
period to period. Legislation to address climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and establishing a price on carbon
could create increases in energy costs and price volatility.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, continued

Part I

When possible, the company purchases raw materials through negotiated long-term contracts to minimize the impact of price
fluctuations. Additionally, the company enters into over-the-counter and exchange traded derivative commodity instruments to
hedge its exposure to price fluctuations on certain raw material purchases. The company takes actions to offset the effects of higher
energy and raw material costs through selling price increases, productivity improvements and cost reduction programs. Success
in offsetting higher raw material costs with price increases is largely influenced by competitive and economic conditions and could
vary significantly depending on the market served. If the company is not able to fully offset the effects of higher energy and raw
material costs, it could have a significant impact on the company's financial results.

The company's results of operations and financial condition could be seriously impacted by business disruptions and
security breaches, including cybersecurity incidents.
Business and/or supply chain disruptions, plant and/or power outages and information technology system and/or network
disruptions, regardless of cause including acts of sabotage, employee error or other actions, geo-political activity, weather events
and natural disasters could seriously harm the company's operations as well as the operations of its customers and suppliers. Failure
to effectively prevent, detect and recover from security breaches, including attacks on information technology and infrastructure
by hackers; viruses; breaches due to employee error or actions; or other disruptions could result in misuse of the company's assets,
business disruptions, loss of property including trade secrets and confidential business information, legal claims or proceedings,
reporting errors, processing inefficiencies, negative media attention, loss of sales and interference with regulatory compliance.
Like most major corporations, the company is the target of industrial espionage, including cyber-attacks, from time to time. The
company has determined that these attacks have resulted, and could result in the future, in unauthorized parties gaining access to
at least certain confidential business information. However, to date, the company has not experienced any material financial impact,
changes in the competitive environment or business operations that it attributes to these attacks. Although management does not
believe that the company has experienced any material losses to date related to security breaches, including cybersecurity incidents,
there can be no assurance that it will not suffer such losses in the future. The company actively manages the risks within its control
that could lead to business disruptions and security breaches. As these threats continue to evolve, particularly around cybersecurity,
the company may be required to expend significant resources to enhance its control environment, processes, practices and other
protective measures. Despite these efforts, such events could have a material adverse effect on the company's business, financial
condition or results of operations.

Unpredictable seasonal and weather factors could impact sales and earnings from the company’s Agriculture segment.
The agriculture industry is subject to seasonal and weather factors, which can vary unpredictably from period to period. Weather
factors can affect the presence of disease and pests on a regional basis and, accordingly, can positively or adversely affect the
demand for crop protection products, including the mix of products used. The weather also can affect the quality, volume and cost
of seeds produced for sale as well as demand and product mix. Seed yields can be higher or lower than planned, which could lead
to higher inventory and related-write-offs and affect the ability to supply.

Inability to discover, develop and protect new technologies and enforce the company's intellectual property rights could
adversely affect the company's financial results.
The company competes with major global companies that have strong intellectual property estates, including intellectual propertytt
rights supporting the use of biotechnology to enhance products, particularly agricultural and bio-based products. Speed in
discovering, developing and protecting new technologies and bringing related products to market is a significant competitive
advantage. Failure to predict and respond effectively to this competition could cause the company's existing or candidate products
to become less competitive, adversely affecting sales. Competitors are increasingly challenging intellectual property positions and
the outcomes can be highly uncertain. If challenges are resolved adversely, it could negatively impact the company's ability to
obtain licenses on competitive terms, commercialize new products and generate sales from existing products.

Intellectual property rights, including patents, plant variety protection, trade secrets, confidential information, trademarks,
tradenames and other forms of trade dress, are important to the company's business. The company endeavors to protect its intellectual
property rights in jurisdictions in which its products are produced or used and in jurisdictions into which its products are imported.
However, the company may be unable to obtain protection for its intellectual property in key jurisdictions. Further, changes in
government policies and regulations, including changes made in reaction to pressure from non-governmental organizations, could
impact the extent of intellectual property protection afforded by such jurisdictions.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, continued

Part I

The company has designed and implemented internal controls to restrict access to and distribution of its intellectual property.
Despite these precautions, the company's intellectual property is vulnerable to unauthorized access through employee error or
actions, theft and cybersecurity incidents, and other security breaches. When unauthorized access and use or counterfeit products
are discovered, the company reports such situations to governmental authorities for investigation, as appropriate, and takes measures
to mitigate any potential impact. Protecting intellectual property related to biotechnology is particularly challenging because theft
is difficult to detect and biotechnology can be self-replicating. Accordingly, the impact of such theft can be significant. See Part I,
Item 1 for additional details on the company's intellectual property.

Market acceptance, government policies, rules, regulations and competition could affect the company's ability in certain
markets to generate and sustain sales or affect profitability from products based on biotechnology.
The company is using biotechnology to create and improve products, particularly in its Agriculture and Industrial Biosciences
segments. The company is also using biotechnology in the development of certain products and pre-commercial programs in Other.
These products enable cost and process benefits, better product performance and functionality, and improve environmental
outcomes in a broad range of products, technologies and processes such as seeds, enzymes, animal nutrition, detergents, food
ingredients, ethanol production and industrial applications. The company's ability to generate and sustain sales from such products
could be impacted by market acceptance, including perception of benefits and costs relative to products based on conventional
technologies, as well as governmental policies, laws and regulations that affect the development, manufacture and
commercialization of products, particularly the testing and planting of seeds containing biotechnology traits and the import of
grains, food and food ingredients and other products derived from those seeds.

In order to maintain its right to produce or sell existing products or to commercialize new products containing biotechnology traits,
particularly seed products, the company must be able to demonstrate its ability to satisfy the requirements of regulatory agencies.
Sales into and use of seeds with biotechnology traits in jurisdictions where cultivation has been approved could be affected if key
import markets have not approved the import of grains, food and food ingredients and other products derived from those seeds.
If import of grains, food and food ingredients and other products derived from those seeds containing such biotechnology traits
occurs in these markets, it could lead to disruption in trade and potential liability for the company.

In addition, the company’s regulatory compliance could be affected by the detection of low level presence of biotechnology traits
in conventional seed or products produced from such seed. Furthermore, the detection of biotechnology traits not approved in the
country of cultivation may affect the company’s ability to supply product and could affect exports of products produced from such
seeds and even result in crop destruction or product recalls.

DuPont’s ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for some of its products in the Agriculture segment could
limit sales or affect profitability in certain markets.
In most jurisdictions, the company must test the safety, efficacy and environmental impact of its Agricultural products to satisfy
regulatory requirements and obtain the necessary approvals. In certain jurisdictions the company must periodically renew its
approvals which may require it to demonstrate compliance with then-current standards. The regulatory environment is lengthy,
complex and in some markets unpredictable, with requirements that can vary by product, technology, industry and country. The
regulatory environment may be impacted by the activities of non-governmental organizations and special interest groups and
stakeholder reaction to actual or perceived impacts of new technology, products or processes on safety, health and the environment.
Obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals requires submitting a significant amount of information and data, which may
require participation from technology providers. Regulatory standards and trial procedures are continuously changing. The pace
of change together with the lack of regulatory harmony could result in unintended noncompliance.

Responding to these changes and meeting existing and new requirements may involve significant costs or capital expenditures or
require changes in business practice that could result in reduced profitability. The failure to receive necessary permits or approvals
could have near- and long-term effects on the company’s ability to produce and sell some current and future products.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, continued

Part I

Failure to effectively manage acquisitions, divestitures, alliances and other portfolio actions could adversely impact our
future results.
From time to time, the company evaluates acquisition candidates that may strategically fit its business and/or growth objectives.
If the company is unable to successfully integrate and develop acquired businesses, the company could fail to achieve anticipated
synergies and cost savings, including any expected increases in revenues and operating results, which could have a material adverse
effect on the company’s financial results. The company continually reviews its portfolio of assets for contributions to the company’s
objectives and alignment with its growth strategy. However, the company may not be successful in separating underperforming
or non-strategic assets and gains or losses on the divestiture of, or lost operating income from, such assets may affect the company’s
earnings. Moreover, the company might incur asset impairment charges related to acquisitions or divestitures that reduce its
earnings.

The company's business, including its results of operations and reputation, could be adversely affected by process safety
and product stewardship issues.
Failure to appropriately manage safety, human health, product liability and environmental risks associated with the company's
products, product life cycles and production processes could adversely impact employees, communities, stakeholders, the
environment, the company's reputation and its results of operations. Public perception of the risks associated with the company's
products and production processes could impact product acceptance and influence the regulatory environment in which the company
operates. While the company has procedures and controls to manage process safety risks, issues could be created by events outside
of its control including natural disasters, severe weather events, acts of sabotage and substandard performance by third parties
with which the company collaborates.

As a result of the company's current and past operations, including operations related to divested businesses, the company
could incur significant environmental liabilities.
The company is subject to various laws and regulations around the world governing the environment, including the discharge of
pollutants and the management and disposal of hazardous substances. As a result of its operations, including its past operations
and operations of divested businesses, the company could incur substantial costs, including remediation and restoration costs. The
costs of complying with complex environmental laws and regulations, as well as internal voluntary programs, are significant and
will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. The ultimate costs under environmental laws and the timing of these costs are
difficult to predict. The company's accruals for such costs and liabilities may not be adequate because the estimates on which the
accruals are based depend on a number of factors including the nature of the matter, the complexity of the site, site geology, the
nature and extent of contamination, the type of remedy, the outcome of discussions with regulatory agencies and other Potentially
Responsible Parties (PRPs) at multi-party sites and the number and financial viability of other PRPs.

At December 31, 2016, the company had recognized a liability of $457 million related to the matters. Since considerable uncertainty
exists, under adverse changes in circumstances, the potential liability may range up to $900 million above the amount accrued at aa
December 31, 2016. As described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, DuPont and Chemours entered into a
Separation Agreement in connection with the spin-off of Chemours on July 1, 2015. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the
company is indemnified by Chemours for certain environmental matters, included in the liability of $457 million, that have an
estimated liability of $250 million as of December 31, 2016 and a potential exposure that ranges up to approximately $500 million
above the amount accrued. As such, the company has recorded an indemnification asset of $250 million corresponding to the
company’s accrual balance related to these matters at December 31, 2016. If the company could no longer continue to recognize
the related indemnification asset due to potential disputes related to recovery or solvency of Chemours, it could adversely impact
DuPont’s financial position and results of operations.

Additional details on the company’s risks associated with environmental laws, regulations and environmental liabilities can be
found in Part I, Item 1, Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,
on page 48 of this report and Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, continued

Part I

The company's results of operations could be adversely affected by litigation and other commitments and contingencies.
The company faces risks arising from various unasserted and asserted litigation matters, including, but not limited to, product
liability, patent infringement, antitrust claims, and claims for third party property damage or personal injury stemming from alleged
environmental torts. The company has noted a nationwide trend in purported class actions against chemical manufacturers generally
seeking relief such as medical monitoring, property damages, off-site remediation and punitive damages arising from alleged
environmental torts without claiming present personal injuries. The company also has noted a trend in public and private nuisance
suits being filed on behalf of states, counties, cities and utilities alleging harm to the general public. Various factors or developments
can lead to changes in current estimates of liabilities such as a final adverse judgment, significant settlement or changes in applicable
law. A future adverse ruling or unfavorable development could result in future charges that could have a material adverse effect
on the company. An adverse outcome in any one or more of these matters could be material to the company's financial results.

In the ordinary course of business, the company may make certain commitments, including representations, warranties and
indemnities relating to current and past operations, including those related to divested businesses and issue guarantees of third
party obligations. If the company were required to make payments as a result, they could exceed the amounts accrued, thereby
adversely affecting the company's results of operations.

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Chemours indemnifies DuPont against certain litigation, environmental, workers'
compensation and other liabilities that arose prior to the distribution. The term of this indemnification is indefinite and includes
defense costs and expenses, as well as monetary and non-monetary settlements and judgments. If the company could no longer
continue to recognize the related indemnification asset due to potential disputes related to recovery or solvency of Chemours, it
could adversely impact DuPont’s financial position and results of operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

OPERATIONS

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking statements which may be identified by their use of words like “plans,” “expects,” “will,”
“anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates” or other words of similar meaning. All statements that address
expectations or projections about the future, including statements about the company's strategy for growth, product development,
regulatory approval, market position, anticipated benefits of recent acquisitions, timing of anticipated benefits from restructuring
actions, outcome of contingencies, such as litigation and environmental matters, expenditures, and financial results, and timing
of, as well as expected benefits, including synergies, from the planned merger with The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) and the
the separation of the combined company’s agriculture business, specialty products business and material science business through
a series of tax-efficient transactions (the Intended Business Separations), are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events which may not be accurate or
realized. Forward-looking statements also involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the company's control. While
the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors presented in the Registration Statement are, considered representative,
no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present
significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results
as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption,
operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on Dow’s or DuPont’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, credit rating or liquidity. Some of the important
factors that could cause the company's actual results to differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements
are:

• Risks related to the agreement entered on December 11, 2015 between DuPont and Dow to effect an all-stock merger of
equals, including the completion of the proposed transaction on anticipated terms and timing, the ability to fully and
timely realize the expected benefits of the proposed transaction and risks related to the Intended Business Separations
contemplated to occur after the completion of the proposed transaction. Important risk factors relating to the proposed
transaction and Intended Business Separations include, but are not limited to, (i) the completion of the proposed transaction
on anticipated terms and timing, including obtaining regulatory approvals, anticipated tax treatment, unforeseen liabilities,
future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial
condition, losses, future prospects, business and management strategies for the management, expansion and growth of
the new combined company’s operations and other conditions to the completion of the merger, (ii) the various approvals,
authorizations and declarations of non-objections from certain regulatory and governmental authorities may not be
obtained, on a timely basis or otherwise, including that these regulatory or governmental authorities may impose conditions
on the granting of such approvals, including regarding the respective Dow and DuPont businesses to divest certain assets
if necessary to obtain certain regulatory approval or otherwise limiting the ability of the combined company to integrate
parts of the Dow and DuPont businesses, (iii) the ability of Dow and DuPont to integrate the businesses successfully and
to achieve anticipated synergies, risks and costs and pursuit and/or implementation of the potential separations, including
anticipated timing, any changes to the configuration of businesses included in the potential separation if implemented,
(iv) the intended separation of the agriculture, material science and specialty products businesses of the combined company
post-mergers in one or more tax efficient transactions on anticipated terms and timing, including a number of conditions
which could delay, prevent or otherwise adversely affect the proposed transactions, including possible issues or delays
in obtaining required regulatory approvals or clearances, disruptions in the financial markets or other potential barriers,
(v) continued availability of capital and financing and rating agency actions, (vi) potential business uncertainty, including
changes to existing business relationships, during the pendency of the merger that could affect DuPont’s financial
performance, (vii) certain restrictions during the pendency of the merger that may impact DuPont’s ability to pursue
certain business opportunities or strategic transactions. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed

Overview

DuPont Dow Merger of Equals On December 11, 2015, DuPont and Dow announced entry into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the Merger Agreement), under which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger of equals (the Merger Transaction),
subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval. The combined company will be
named DowDuPont Inc. (DowDuPont). DuPont's special meeting of stockholders was held on July 20, 2016, which resulted in a
vote for adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of related matters. Closing of the Merger Transaction is expected to
occur in the first half of 2017, pending satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval.

Following the consummation of the merger, Dow and DuPont intend to pursue, subject to the receipt of approval by the board of
directors of DowDuPont, the separation of the combined company’s agriculture business, specialty products business and material
science business through a series of tax-efficient transactions (the Intended Business Separations). Dow and DuPont currently
anticipate that the Intended Business Separations will occur about 18 months after the merger is consummated.

During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the company incurred $386 million and $10 million, respectively, of costs
in connection with the planned merger with Dow and the Intended Business Separations, including costs relating to integration
and separation planning. These costs were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the company's Consolidated
Income Statements and primarily include financial advisory, legal, accounting, consulting and other advisory fees and expenses.

See the discussion entitled DuPont Dow Merger of Equals under Part 1, Item 1 Business of this report, Part 1, Item 1A, Risk
Factors, and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details and a discussion of some of the risks related to
the transaction.

Purpose DuPont’s businesses serve markets where the increasing demand for more and healthier food, renewably sourced
materials and fuels, and advanced industrial materials is creating substantial growth opportunities. The company’s unique
combination of sciences, proven research and development (R&D) engine, broad global reach, and deep market penetration are
distinctive competitive advantages that position the company to continue capitalizing on this enormous potential.

DuPont has dramatically refined its portfolio to focus investment in areas where it sees significant opportunity and secular growth;
enhanced its innovation platform to deliver substantial revenues from new products; increased focus on efficiency, cost discipline,
and accountability; and expanded markets geographically.

The company is committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet and to return excess cash to shareholders unless there is a
compelling opportunity to invest for growth.

Results DuPont 2016 sales were $24.6 billion, 2 percent below last year, reflecting a 1 percent decline from the negative impact
of weaker currencies and a 1 percent decline due to lower prices and product mix. Volume growth in Performance Materials,
Nutrition & Health, and Industrial Biosciences was offset by declines in the other segments. Income from continuing operations
before taxes of $3.3 billion was up 26 percent versus $2.6 billion in prior year, on cost savings and lower pension and other post
employment benefits (OPEB) costs. Pension and OPEB costs were down 63 percent year over year, primarily due to curtailment
gains recognized as a result of changes made to the U.S. Pension and OPEB benefits in 2016.

Analysis of Operations
2016 Global Cost Savings and Restructuring Plan On December 11, 2015, DuPont announced a 2016 global cost savings and
restructuring plan (the 2016 global cost savings and restructuring plan) designed to reduce costs in 2016 by $730 million compared
with 2015, which represents a reduction of operating costs on a run-rate basis of about $1.0 billion by the end of 2016. As part
of the plan, the company committed to take structural actions across all businesses and staff functions globally to operate more
efficiently by further consolidating businesses and aligning staff functions more closely with them. In connection with the
restructuring actions, the company recorded a pre-tax charge to earnings of $798 million in the fourth quarter 2015, comprised of
$656 million of severance and related benefit costs, $109 million of asset related charges, and $33 million of contract termination
costs. During the year ended December 31, 2016, in connection with the restructuring actions, the company recorded a net pre-
tax benefit to earnings of $85 million, comprised of a net reduction of $154 million in severance and related benefit costs, offset
by $53 million of asset related charges, and $16 million of contract termination costs. This was primarily due to a reduction in
severance and related benefit costs partially offset by the identification of additional projects in certain segments. The reduction
in severance and related benefit costs was driven by elimination of positions at a lower cost than expected as a result of redeployments
and attrition as well as lower than estimated individual severance costs.

The 2016 global cost savings and restructuring plan delivered the target cost reductions versus prior year. The restructuring actions
associated with this charge affected approximately 10 percent of DuPont’s workforce and are now substantially complete.

Redesign Initiative and 2014 Restructuring Plan In June 2014, DuPont announced its global, multi-year initiative to redesign
its global organization and operating model to reduce costs and improve productivity and agility across all businesses and functions.
DuPont commenced a restructuring plan to realign and rebalance staff function support, enhance operational efficiency, and to
reduce residual costs associated with the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment. As a result, during the year ended
December 31, 2014, a pre-tax charge of $541 million was recorded. Cost reductions from the 2014 operational redesign were
essentially completed during 2015 and for full year 2015, the company delivered incremental cost savings of approximately $440
million year over year. Additional details related to this plan can be found in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Separation of Performance Chemicals In October 2013, DuPont announced its intention to separate its Performance Chemicals
segment through a U.S. tax-free spin-off to shareholders, subject to customary closing conditions. In July 2015, DuPont completed
the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment through the spin-off of all of the issued and outstanding stock of The Chemours
Company (Chemours).

Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).

Net sales of $24.6 billion were 2 percent below prior year, reflecting a 1 percent reduction due to currency and a 1 percent decrease
due to lower local prices. Negative currency impact was primarily due to the weaker European euro, Mexican peso, and Chinese
yuan, partly offset by the stronger Japanese yen and Brazilian real. The 1 percent negative impact from lower local prices primarily
reflects lower prices in Performance Materials, largely polymers, lower Electronics & Communications prices and flat prices for
Agriculture where higher prices in EMEA and Latin America were offset by declines in North America. Worldwide volume was
flat as growth in Performance Materials, Nutrition & Health, and Industrial Biosciences was offset by lower volume in Electronics
& Communications, Protection Solutions, and Agriculture, the latter due to lower sales of crop protection products. Net sales in
developing markets, were $8.4 billion, up 2 percent, with 4 percent higher volume, principally due to strong growth in Agriculture,
Performance Materials, Electronics & Communications, and Nutrition & Health, in developing Asia Pacific. Sales growth in
developing markets was partly offset by a negative currency impact. Representing 34 percent of total company sales, developing
markets include China, India, and countries in Southeast Asia, Latin America, Eastern and Central Europe, Middle East, and Africa.

Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).

Net sales of $25.1 billion were down 12 percent versus prior year reflecting a 7 percent negative impact from weaker currencies,
particularly the Brazilian real and the European euro, 3 percent lower volume and a 2 percent negative impact from the absence
of sales from divested businesses. Lower volume principally reflects a 6 percent decline in Agriculture that was primarily driven
by lower seed volume and reduced demand for insect control products in Latin America, a 7 percent decline in volumes for
Electronics & Communications, primarily driven by competitive pressures impacting sales of Solamet® paste, and a 2 percent
decline in volumes for Industrial Biosciences due to lower demand for biomaterials and clean technologies offerings. These declines
more than offset volume growth for Performance Materials, Nutrition & Health, and Protection Solutions. Portfolio and other
reflects the impact of the prior year sales of Glass Laminating Solutions/Vinyls within the Performance Materials segment and
Sontara® within the Protection Solutions segment. The impact from local prices and product mix was about even with prior year
as 3 percent higher Agriculture prices were offset primarily by lower prices in Performance Materials and Electronics &
Communications. Net sales in developing markets were $8.2 billion, 33 percent of total company net sales versus 34 percent in
2014, representing a slight decline principally due to lower Agriculture volume in Latin America. Developing markets include
China, India, countries located in Latin America, Eastern and Central Europe, Middle East, Africa and South East Asia.

2015 versus 2014 The $580 million decrease was primarily due to the absence of prior year gains on sales of businesses and
other assets, including a $391 million gain on the sale of GLS/Vinyls, within the Performance Materials segment, and a $240
million gain on the sale of copper fungicides and land management businesses, both within the Agriculture segment, partially
offset by gains on sales of businesses and assets in 2015, primarily in the Agriculture and Performance Materials segments. In
addition, pre-tax exchange gains decreased $166 million compared to prior year driven by lower gains on foreign currency exchange
contracts. See Notes 5 and 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the company's policy of hedging
the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. These decreases were partially offset by $145 million gain
associated with the company's settlement of a legal claim related to the Protection Solutions segment and $85 million increase in

insecticide manufacturing facility at the La Porte site located in La Porte, Texas. These charges were partially offset by a net $88
million benefit related to the 2016 restructuring plan, primarily due to a reduction in severance and related benefit costs driven
by the elimination of positions at a lower cost than expected, and a $21 million benefit related to the 2014 restructuring plan for
adjustments to the previously recognized severance costs.

The $810 million in charges recorded during 2015 in employee separation / asset related charges, net consist of a $793 million
charge related to the 2016 restructuring plan discussed below, and a $38 million impairment charge discussed below, partly offset
by a $21 million net benefit related to the 2014 restructuring plan. The $21 million net benefit was recorded to adjust the estimated
costs associated with the 2014 restructuring program due to lower than estimated individual severance costs and workforce
reductions achieved through non-severance programs, offset by the identification of additional projects in certain segments.

On December 11, 2015, DuPont announced a 2016 global cost savings and restructuring plan designed to reduce $730 million in
costs compared to 2015. As part of the plan, the company committed to take structural actions across all businesses and staff
functions globally to operate more efficiently by further consolidating businesses and aligning staff functions more closely with
them. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2015, a pre-tax charge of $798 million was recorded, consisting of $793
million of employee separation / asset related charges, net and $5 million in other income, net. The charges consisted of $656
million in severance and related benefit costs, $109 million in asset related charges, and $33 million in contract termination charges.
The $476 million in charges recorded during 2014 in employee separation / asset related charges, net related to the 2014 global,
multi-year initiative to redesign its global organization and operating model to improve productivity and agility across all businesses
and functions. DuPont commenced a restructuring plan to realign and rebalance staff function support, enhance operational
efficiency, and to reduce residual costs associated with the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment. As a result, during
the year ended December 31, 2014, a pre-tax charge of $541 million was recorded, consisting of $476 million in employee
separation / asset related charges, net and $65 million in other income, net. The charges consisted of $301 million severance and
related benefit costs, $17 million of other non-personnel costs, and $223 million of asset related costs, including $65 million of
costs associated with the restructuring actions of a joint venture within the Performance Materials segment.

Asset Impairments
p
During 2016, the company recorded an asset impairment charge of $435 million related to its uncompleted enterprise resource
planning (ERP) system. The company intends to complete the ERP system project, however, given the uncertainties related to
timing as well as potential developments and changes to technologies in the market place at the time of restart, use of the ERP
system can no longer be considered probable. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details related
to this charge.

During 2016, the company recorded a $158 million impairment charge related to indefinite-lived intangible trade names within
the Industrial Biosciences segment as a result of the realignment of brand marketing strategies and a determination to phase out
the use of certain acquired trade names.

During 2015, the company recorded an impairment charge of $38 million in the Other segment, the majority relating to an
impairment of a cost basis investment.

In 2016, the company recorded a tax provision on continuing operations of $744 million, reflecting a marginal increase from 2015.
The decrease in the 2016 effective tax rate compared to 2015 was largely due to the impact of reduced net exchange losses
recognized on the re-measurement of net monetary asset positions which were not tax deductible in the relevant local jurisdictions.

In 2015, the company recorded a tax provision on continuing operations of $696 million, reflecting a $472 million decrease from
2014. The decrease was largely due to the impact associated with the company’s policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated
monetary assets and liabilities of its operations, the absence of 2014 gains on sales of businesses and other assets in the Performance
Materials and Agriculture segments, as well as increased tax benefits on employee separation / asset related charges.

Corporate Outlook
Globally, GDP and industrial production are expected to grow 2.7 and 2.4 percent, respectively, in 2017. The company expects
this growth will be challenged by the current difficult global economic conditions in agriculture, economic uncertainty in the U.S.,
political and economic uncertainty in Europe and slowing conditions in China from the continued shift of industrial production
to services and consumer sectors. The company expects headwinds from currency due to the continued strengthening of the U.S.
dollar against most currencies.

In the agriculture sector, commodity prices are under pressure from record yields and crop productions. As farmers look to relative
economics between crop alternatives, the company expects them to favor soybeans over corn in North America which is generally
less favorable to the company’s overall income from continuing operations. In crop protection, the company expects the industryrr
decline to ease in 2017, but continues to be negatively impacted by high inventory levels, a stronger U.S. dollar, and the continued
penetration of insect-resistant soybeans.

In the auto sector, according to IHS, auto growth is expected to slow in 2017, with 1 percent growth year over year.

As the company prepares for the close of the planned merger with Dow, the company expects income from continuing operations
in 2017 to be impacted by transaction related costs associated with the merger and the Intended Business Separations, including
costs related to integration and separation planning.

Segment Reviews
Segment operating earnings is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes excluding significant pre-
tax benefits (charges), non-operating pension and OPEB costs, exchange gains (losses), corporate expenses and interest. Non-
operating pension and OPEB costs includes all of the components of net periodic benefit cost from continuing operations with
the exception of the service cost component. See Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for details related to significant
pre-tax benefits (charges) excluded from segment operating earnings. All references to prices are based on local price unless
otherwise specified.

2016 versus 2015 Full year 2016 segment net sales of $9.5 billion decreased 3 percent, primarily due to the negative impact of
currency and lower crop protection volumes. Lower crop protection volumes are primarily due to lower insecticide volumes from
low pest pressure and high inventories, and lower fungicide volumes. Seed volumes were flat year over year as increased corn
seed volumes in Latin America and North America due to higher acreage and new product launches, were offset by the shift in
timing of seed sales primarily related to the southern U.S. route-to-market change and lower soybean volumes. The shift in timing
moved approximately $200 million of sales from fourth quarter 2016 to first quarter 2017.

2016 operating earnings and operating earnings margin increased as cost savings and lower product costs were partially offset by
timing of seed deliveries, primarily related to the southern U.S. route-to-market change and the negative impact of currency.

partly offset by higher local corn seed prices.
In Brazil, lower corn seed volume reflects the impact of a reduction in summer
partly offset by higher
planted hectares of corn and fall armyworm resistance impacting performance of certain corn hybrids. In North America, lower
planted hectares of corn and fall armyworm resistance impacting performance of certain corn hybrids.
soybean volume reflects between 1 and 2 points of share loss and lower soybean planted area; lower corn planted area was partially
offset by higher local corn seed prices. Lower crop protection volume is primarily due to low expected insect pressure, the adoption
of insect protected soybean varieties, higher inventories, and a challenging macro environment. Insect control volumes were also
impacted by the shutdown of the La Porte manufacturing facility in Texas.

2015 operating earnings and operating earnings margin decreased primarily due to the negative impact of currency of $538 million,
lower sales, and an approximately $120 million negative impact of the shutdown of the La Porte manufacturing facility and the
absence of prior year impacts from performance-based compensation adjustments, partially offset by cost reductions and continued
productivity improvements.

the declines are increased ethylene volumes due to the prior year scheduled outage at the ethylene unit in Orange, Texas and
increased demand for polymers in automotive markets, primarily in the U.S. and Europe in the second half of 2015.

2015 operating earnings decreased as cost reductions and continued productivity improvements were more than offset by the

comprised of a net benefit from a joint venture, the sale of a business and the realization of tax benefits associated with a
manufacturing site. Operating earnings margin increased due primarily to cost reductions and continued productivity improvements.

Pursuant to its cash discipline policy, the company seeks first to maintain a strong balance sheet and second, to return excess cash
to shareholders unless the opportunity to invest for growth is compelling. The company continually reviews its sources of liquidity
and debt portfolio and occasionally may make adjustments to one or both to ensure adequate liquidity and an optimum debt maturity
schedule.

The company's credit ratings impact its access to the debt capital markets and cost of capital. The company remains committed
to a strong financial position and strong investment-grade rating. The company's long-term and short-term credit ratings are as
follows:

Standard & Poor's

Moody’s Investors Service

Fitch Ratings

Long-term
A-

Short-term
A-2

Outlook
Credit Watch Negative

P-2

Negative

Rating Watch Negative

The company believes its ability to generate cash from operations and access to capital markets will be adequate to meet anticipated
cash requirements to fund working capital, capital spending, dividend payments, share repurchases, debt maturities and other cash
needs and that its current strong financial position, liquidity and credit ratings continue to provide access as needed to the capital
markets. The company's liquidity needs can be met through a variety of sources, including cash provided by operating activities,
cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, commercial paper, syndicated credit lines, bilateral credit lines, long-term debt
markets, bank financing, committed receivable repurchase facilities and asset sales.

The company has access to approximately $7.9 billion in unused credit lines with several major financial institutions including
unused commitments of $4 billion under the Term Loan Facility described below and a $3 billion revolving credit facility to support
its commercial paper program. These unused credit lines provide additional support to meet short-term liquidity needs and general
corporate purposes including letters of credit.

In March 2016, the company entered into a credit agreement that provides for a three-year, senior unsecured term loan facility in
the aggregate principal amount of $4.5 billion (the Term Loan Facility). DuPont may make up to seven term loan borrowings
within one year of the closing date and amounts repaid or prepaid are not available for subsequent borrowings. The proceeds from
the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility will be used for the company's general corporate purposes including debt repayment,
working capital and share repurchases. The Term Loan Facility matures in March 2019 at which time all outstanding borrowings,
including accrued but unpaid interest, become immediately due and payable. As of December 31, 2016, the company had borrowed
$0.5 billion and had unused commitments of $4 billion under the Term Loan Facility.

In addition, in March 2016, the company amended the existing revolving credit facility to reduce the aggregate principal amount
of commitments from $4 billion to $3 billion consistent with lower expected commercial paper borrowings.

The Term Loan Facility and the amended revolving credit facility contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative
and negative covenants, and events of default that are typical for companies with similar credit ratings and generally consistent
with those applicable to DuPont’s long-term public debt. The Term Loan Facility and the amended revolving credit facility contain
a financial covenant requiring that the ratio of Total Indebtedness to Total Capitalization for DuPont and its consolidated subsidiaries
not exceed 0.6667. At December 31, 2016, the company was in compliance with this financial covenant.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

The Term Loan Facility and the amended revolving credit facility impose additional affirmative and negative covenants on DuPont
and its subsidiaries after the closing of the proposed merger with Dow, subject to certain limitations, including to:

•

not sell, lease or otherwise convey to DowDupont, its shareholders or its non-DuPont subsidiaries, any assets or properties
of DuPont or its subsidiaries unless the aggregate amount of revenues attributable to all such assets and properties so
conveyed after the merger does not exceed 30 percent of the consolidated revenues of DuPont and its subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2015 (the Disposition Limitation); and
not guarantee any indebtedness or other obligations of DowDuPont, Dow or ther respective subsidiaries (other than of
DuPont and its subsidiaries).

The Term Loan Facility and the amended revolving credit facility will terminate, and the loans and other amounts thereunder
would become due and payable, upon the sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Agriculture line of businesses to DowDuPont, its shareholders or any of its non-DuPont subsidiaries.

In February 2016, in line with seasonal agricultural working capital requirements, the company entered into a committed receivable
repurchase facility of up to $1 billion (the 2016 repurchase facility) that expired on November 30, 2016. Under the facility, the
company sold a portfolio of available and eligible outstanding customer notes receivables within the Agriculture segment to
participating institutions and simultaneously agreed to repurchase at a future date. In January 2017, the company entered into a
new committed receivable repurchase facility of up to $1.3 billion (the 2017 repurchase facility) which expires on November 30,
2017. The 2017 repurchase facility has substantially similar terms and conditions as the 2016 repurchase facility and includes the
2016 repurchase facility change of control language conformed to the Disposition Limitation covenant described above. See
further discussion of the 2017 repurchase facility in Item 9B, Other Information and Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

The company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at December 31, 2016 and 2015 are $6.0 billion and $6.2 billion,
respectively. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held outside of the U.S. of $5.8 billion and $4.2 billion at
December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, are generally utilized to fund local operating activities and capital expenditure
requirements and are expected to support non-U.S. liquidity needs for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future thereafter.
The company expects domestic liquidity needs, for at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future thereafter, will be met
through existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held in the U.S. and the various sources of liquidity discussed
above. Therefore, the company believes that it has sufficient sources of domestic liquidity to support its assumption that undistributed
earnings at December 31, 2016 can be considered reinvested indefinitely.

Cash used for investing activities in 2015 increased by $1.5 billion compared to 2014. The change was primarily due to lower
proceeds received from the sale of businesses in 2015 compared to 2014 and increased purchases of marketable securities in 2015
compared to 2014. This was partially offset by lower purchases of property, plant and equipment, mainly due to the absence of
Chemours in the second half of 2015 which accounted for $0.3 billion. See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
further discussion of marketable securities outstanding at December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled $1.0 billion, $1.6 billion and $2.0 billion in 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.
The company expects 2017 purchases of property, plant and equipment to be about $1.1 billion.

(5,074)

The $0.5 billion increase in cash used for financing activities in 2016 was primarily due to lower borrowings as a result of the
prior year distribution of approximately $3.9 billion which Chemours financed through external borrowings and paid to the company
prior to its separation. This was partially offset by lower share repurchases and lower dividends paid to stockholders.

The $3.3 billion decrease in cash used for financing activities in 2015 was primarily due to the distribution of Chemours borrowings
to the company as part of the separation, partially offset by a reduction in short term borrowings, and an increase in the repurchase
of common stock.

Dividends paid to common and preferred shareholders were $1.3 billion, $1.5 billion, and $1.7 billion in 2016, 2015, and 2014,
respectively. Dividends per share of common stock were $1.52, $1.72, and $1.84 in 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. In January
2017, the Board of Directors declared a first quarter common stock dividend of $0.38 per share. With the first quarter 2017
dividend, the company has paid quarterly consecutive dividends since the company’s first dividend in the fourth quarter 1904.

In the first quarter 2015, DuPont announced its intention to buy back about $4 billion of shares using the distribution proceeds
received from Chemours. In connection with the completion of the spin-off of Chemours, the Board of Directors authorized the
use of the distribution proceeds to buy back shares of the company's common stock as follows: $2 billion to be purchased and
retired by December 31, 2015 with the remainder to be purchased and retired by December 31, 2016. During 2015, the company
purchased and retired 35 million shares through a $2 billion accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement. The company had
limited opportunity to repurchase shares in 2016, primarily due to the planned merger with Dow. However, during 2016, the
company purchased and retired 13.2 million shares in the open market at a cost of $916 million. As of January 1, 2017, the
authorization under this buyback program has expired.

In January 2014, the company's Board of Directors authorized a $5 billion share buyback plan. During 2014, the company purchased
and retired 30.1 million shares for $2 billion under two separate ASR agreements as well as open market purchases. In 2015, the
company repurchased and retired 4.6 million shares in the open market for a total cost of $353 million. As a result, the company
has completed $2.4 billion of repurchases as of December 31, 2016. There is no required completion date for purchases under this
plan.

Free cash flow is a measurement not recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP)
and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. All companies do not calculate non-GAAP financial
measures in the same manner and, accordingly, the company's free cash flow definition may not be consistent with the methodologies
used by other companies. The company defines free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property,yy
plant and equipment, and therefore indicates operating cash flow available for payment of dividends, other investing activities and
other financing activities. Free cash flow is useful to investors and management to evaluate the company's cash flow and financial
performance, and is an integral financial measure used in the company's financial planning process.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The company's significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables the company to provide the users of the
financial statements with useful and reliable information about the company's operating results and financial condition.

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts, including, but not limited to, receivable and inventory valuations, impairment of
tangible and intangible assets, long-term employee benefit obligations, income taxes, restructuring liabilities, environmental
matters and litigation. Management's estimates are based on historical experience, facts and circumstances available at the time
and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. The company reviews these matters and reflects changes in
estimates as appropriate. Management believes that the following represents some of the more critical judgment areas in the
application of the company's accounting policies which could have a material effect on the company's financial position, liquidity
or results of operations.

Long-term Employee Benefits
Accounting for employee benefit plans involves numerous assumptions and estimates. Discount rate and expected return on plan
assets are two critical assumptions in measuring the cost and benefit obligation of the company's pension and other post employment
benefit (OPEB) plans. Management reviews these two key assumptions annually as of December 31st. These and other assumptions
are updated periodically to reflect the actual experience and expectations on a plan specific basis as appropriate. As permitted by
GAAP, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated on a plan by plan basis and to the extent that such differences
exceed 10 percent of the greater of the plan's benefit obligation or the applicable plan assets, the excess is amortized over the
average remaining service period of active employees.

About 80 percent of the company's benefit obligation for pensions and essentially all of the company's OPEB obligations are
attributable to the benefit plans in the U.S. In the U.S. the discount rate is developed by matching the expected cash flow of the
benefit plans to a yield curve constructed from a portfolio of high quality fixed-income instruments provided by the plans' actuaries
as of the measurement date. Effective in 2016, the company began to measure the service and interest cost components utilizing
a full yield curve approach by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit
obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. The company made this change as it believes it is a more precise measurement
of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected benefit cash flows to the corresponding spot yield
curve rates. The company considers this a change in estimate, and, accordingly, has accounted for it on a prospective basis. This
change does not affect the measure of the total benefit obligation. Historically, the service and interest cost components were
estimated utilizing a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve and cash flow for measurement of the
benefit obligation at the beginning of the period. For non-U.S. benefit plans, the company utilizes prevailing long-term high
quality corporate bond indices to determine the discount rate, applicable to each country, at the measurement date.

Within the U.S., the company establishes strategic asset allocation percentage targets and appropriate benchmarks for significant aa
asset classes with the aim of achieving a prudent balance between return and risk. Strategic asset allocations in other countries are
selected in accordance with the laws and practices of those countries. Where appropriate, asset-liability studies are also taken into
consideration. The long-term expected return on plan assets in the U.S. is based upon historical real returns (net of inflation) for
the asset classes covered by the investment policy, expected performance, and projections of inflation and interest rates over the
long-term period during which benefits are payable to plan participants. Consistent with prior years, the long-term expected return
on plan assets in the U.S. reflects the asset allocation of the plan and the effect of the company's active management of the plan's
assets.

In determining annual expense for the principal U.S. pension plan, the company uses a market-related value of assets rather thanaa
its fair value. The market-related value of assets is calculated by averaging market returns over 36 months. Accordingly, there
may be a lag in recognition of changes in market valuation. As a result, changes in the fair value of assets are not immediately
reflected in the company's calculation of net periodic pension cost. The following table shows the market-related value and fair
value of plan assets for the principal U.S. pension plan:

During 2016, the plan's trust fund paid about $550 million to a group of separated, vested plan participants who elected a limited-time opportunity to receive
a lump sum payout. See further discussion under "Long Term Employee Benefits" beginning on page 47.

For plans other than the principal U.S. pension plan, pension expense is determined using the fair value of assets.

The following table highlights the potential impact on the company's pre-tax earnings due to changes in certain key assumptions
with respect to the company's pension and OPEB plans, based on assets and liabilities at December 31, 2016:

In October 2014, the Society of Actuaries released final reports of new mortality tables and a mortality improvement scale for
measurement of retirement program obligations in the U.S. The Society of Actuaries published other mortality improvement scales
in October 2015 and October 2016. The company adopted these tables in measuring the 2015 and 2016 long-term employee benefit
obligations, respectively. The effect of these adoptions is amortized into net periodic benefit cost for the years following the
adoption.

Additional information with respect to pension and OPEB expenses, liabilities and assumptions is discussed under "Long-term
Employee Benefits" beginning on page 47 and in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Environmental Matters
DuPont accrues for remediation activities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and a reasonable estimate of the
liability can be made. The company has recorded a liability of $457 million as of December 31, 2016; these accrued liabilities
exclude claims against third parties and are not discounted. As remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from
site to site, it is difficult to develop precise estimates of future site remediation costs. The company's estimates are based on a
number of factors, including the complexity of the geology, the nature and extent of contamination, the type of remedy, the outcome
of discussions with regulatory agencies and other Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) at multi-party sites and the number of
and financial viability of other PRPs. Therefore, considerable uncertainty exists with respect to environmental remediation costs
and, under adverse changes in circumstances, the potential liability may range up to $900 million above the amount accrued as
of December 31, 2016.

Legal Contingencies
The company's results of operations could be affected by significant litigation adverse to the company, including product liability
claims, patent infringement and antitrust claims, and claims for third party property damage or personal injury stemming from
alleged environmental torts. The company records accruals for legal matters when the information available indicates that it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Management makes adjustments
to these accruals to reflect the impact and status of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of counsel and other information and
events that may pertain to a particular matter. Predicting the outcome of claims and lawsuits and estimating related costs and
exposure involves substantial uncertainties that could cause actual costs to vary materially from estimates. In making determinations
of likely outcomes of litigation matters, management considers many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the
nature of specific claims including unasserted claims, the company's experience with similar types of claims, the jurisdiction in
which the matter is filed, input from outside legal counsel, the likelihood of resolving the matter through alternative dispute
resolution mechanisms and the matter's current status. Considerable judgment is required in determining whether to establish a
litigation accrual when an adverse judgment is rendered against the company in a court proceeding. In such situations, the company
will not recognize a loss if, based upon a thorough review of all relevant facts and information, management believes that it is
probable that the pending judgment will be successfully overturned on appeal. A detailed discussion of significant litigation
matters is contained in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Indemnification Assets
Pursuant to the Separation Agreement discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the company is indemnified
by Chemours against certain litigation, environmental, workers' compensation and other liabilities that arose prior to the separation.
The term of this indemnification is indefinite and includes defense costs and expenses, as well as monetary and non-monetary
settlements and judgments. In connection with the recognition of liabilities related to these indemnified matters, the company
records an indemnification asset when recovery is deemed probable. In assessing the probability of recovery, the company considers
the contractual rights under the Separation Agreement and any potential credit risk. Future events, such as potential disputes
related to recovery as well as solvency of Chemours, could cause the indemnification assets to have a lower value than anticipated
and recorded. The company evaluates the recovery of the indemnification assets recorded when events or changes in circumstances
indicate the carrying values may not be fully recoverable.

Income Taxes
The breadth of the company's operations and the global complexity of tax regulations require assessments of uncertainties and
judgments in estimating taxes the company will ultimately pay. The final taxes paid are dependent upon many factors, including
negotiations with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions, outcomes of tax litigation and resolution of disputes arising from
federal, state and international tax audits in the normal course of business. The resolution of these uncertainties may result in
adjustments to the company's tax assets and tax liabilities. It is reasonably possible that net reductions to the company’s global
unrecognized tax benefits could be in the range of $70 million to $90 million within the next 12 months with the majority due to
the settlement of uncertain tax positions with various tax authorities.

Deferred income taxes result from differences between the financial and tax basis of the company's assets and liabilities and area
adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred
tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the
need for and magnitude of appropriate valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. The realization of these assets is dependent
on generating future taxable income, as well as successful implementation of various tax planning strategies. For example, changes
in facts and circumstances that alter the probability that the company will realize deferred tax assets could result in recording a
valuation allowance, thereby reducing the deferred tax asset and generating a deferred tax expense in the relevant period. In some
situations these changes could be material.

At December 31, 2016, the company had a net deferred tax asset balance of $2.9 billion, net of valuation allowance of $1.3 billion.
Realization of these assets is expected to occur over an extended period of time. As a result, changes in tax laws, assumptions with
respect to future taxable income, and tax planning strategies could result in adjustments to these assets. See Note 6 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details related to the deferred tax asset balance.

Valuation of Assets
The assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are measured at their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The excess
of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired, including identified intangibles, is recorded as
goodwill. The determination and allocation of fair value to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various
assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment, including estimates based on historical
information, current market data and future expectations. The principal assumptions utilized in the company's valuation
methodologies include revenue growth rates, operating margin estimates, royalty rates, and discount rates. Although the estimates
are deemed reasonable by management based on information available at the dates of acquisition, those estimates are inherently
uncertain.

Assessment of the potential impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and investments in
affiliates and other assets is an integral part of the company's normal ongoing review of operations. Testing for potential impairment
of these assets is significantly dependent on numerous assumptions and reflects management's best estimates at a particular point
in time. The dynamic economic environments in which the company's diversified businesses operate, and key economic and
business assumptions with respect to projected selling prices, market growth and inflation rates, can significantly affect the outcome
of impairment tests. Estimates based on these assumptions may differ significantly from actual results. Changes in factors and
assumptions used in assessing potential impairments can have a significant impact on the existence and magnitude of impairments,
as well as the time in which such impairments are recognized. In addition, the company continually reviews its diverse portfolio
of assets to ensure they are achieving their greatest potential and are aligned with the company's growth strategy. Strategic decisions
involving a particular group of assets may trigger an assessment of the recoverability of the related assets. Such an assessment
could result in impairment losses.

Based on the results of the company's annual goodwill impairment test, completed in the third quarter 2016, we determined that
the fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded its carrying value by more than 20 percent, and therefore there were no
indications of impairment. The company's methodology for estimating the fair value of its reporting units is using the income
approach based on the present value of future cash flows. The income approach has been generally supported by additional market
transaction analyses. There can be no assurance that the company's estimates and assumptions regarding forecasted cash flow,
revenue and operating income growth rates made for purposes of the annual goodwill impairment test will prove to be accurate
predictions of the future. The company believes the current assumptions and estimates utilized are both reasonable and appropriate.

During 2016, the company recorded an asset impairment charge of $435 million related to its uncompleted ERP system. The
company intends to complete the ERP system project, however, given the uncertainties related to timing as well as potential
developments and changes to technologies in the market place at the time of restart, use of the ERP system can no longer be
considered probable. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details related to this charge.

Long-term Employee Benefits
The company has various obligations to its employees and retirees. The company maintains retirement-related programs in many
countries that have a long-term impact on the company's earnings and cash flows. These plans are typically defined benefit pension
plans, as well as medical, dental and life insurance benefits for pensioners and survivors and disability benefits for employees
(other post employment benefits or OPEB plans). Approximately 80 percent of the company's worldwide benefit obligation for
pensions and essentially all of the company's worldwide OPEB obligations are attributable to the U.S. benefit plans.

Pension coverage for employees of the company's non-U.S. consolidated subsidiaries is provided, to the extent deemed appropriate,
through separate plans. The company regularly explores alternative solutions to meet its global pension obligations in the most
cost effective manner possible as demographics, life expectancy and country-specific pension funding rules change. Where
permitted by applicable law, the company reserves the right to change, modify or discontinue its plans that provide pension, medical,
dental, life insurance and disability benefits.

Benefits under defined benefit pension plans are based primarily on years of service and employees' pay near retirement. In
November 2016, the company announced changes to the U.S. pension and OPEB plans. The company will freeze the pay and
service amounts used to calculate pension benefits for active employees who participate in the U.S. pension plans at the earlier of
the effective date of the first of the Intended Business Separations or November 30, 2018 (the Effective Date). See further discussion
of the Intended Business Separations under "DuPont Dow Merger of Equals" beginning on page 2. Therefore, as of the Effective
Date, active employees in the U.S. plans will not accrue additional benefits for future service and eligible compensation received.
In addition to the changes to the U.S. pension plans, eligible employees who will be under the age of 50 at the Effective Date will
not receive post-retirement medical, dental and life insurance benefits. As a result of these changes, the company recognized a
pre-tax curtailment gain of $382 million during the fourth quarter of 2016. The majority of employees hired in the U.S. on or
after January 1, 2007 are not eligible to participate in the pension and post-retirement medical, dental and life insurance plans, but
receive benefits in the defined contribution plans.

In the fourth quarter 2016, about $550 million of lump-sum payments were made from the principal U.S. pension plan trust fund
to a group of separated, vested plan participants who were extended a limited-time opportunity and voluntarily elected to receive
their pension benefits in a single lump-sum payment.

Pension benefits are paid primarily from trust funds established to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Unless required
by law, the company does not make contributions that are in excess of tax deductible limits. The actuarial assumptions and
procedures utilized are reviewed periodically by the plans' actuaries to provide reasonable assurance that there will be adequate
funds for the payment of benefits. The company contributed $230 million to the principal U.S. pension plan in 2016 and the
company expects to contribute about the same amount to this plan in 2017.

Funding for each pension plan other than the principal U.S. pension plan is governed by the rules of the sovereign country in which
it operates. Thus, there is not necessarily a direct correlation between pension funding and pension expense. In general, however,
improvements in plans' funded status tends to moderate subsequent funding needs. The company contributed $121 million to its
pension plans other than the principal U.S. pension plan in 2016.

U.S. pension benefits that exceed federal limitations are covered by separate unfunded plans and these benefits are paid to pensioners
and survivors from operating cash flows. The company's remaining pension plans with no plan assets are paid from operating
cash flows. The company made benefit payments of $184 million to its unfunded plans in 2016.

The company's OPEB plans are unfunded and the cost of the approved claims is paid from operating cash flows. Pre-tax cash
requirements to cover actual net claims costs and related administrative expenses were $218 million, $237 million and $233 million
for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Changes in cash requirements reflect the net impact of higher per capita health care costs,
demographic changes, plan amendments and changes in participant premiums, co-pays and deductibles.

In 2017, the company expects to contribute $95 million for pension plans other than the principal U.S. pension plan, $85 million
to its remaining plans with no plan assets, and $275 million for its OPEB plans.

Part II

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

OPERATIONS, continued

The company's income can be significantly affected by pension and defined contribution benefits as well as OPEB costs. The
following table summarizes the extent to which the company's income over each of the last 3 years was affected by pre-tax charges
related to long-term employee benefits:

(Dollars in millions)
Long-term employee benefit plan charges 1

2016

2015

715

The long-term employee benefit plan charges include discontinued operations of $(5), $(245) and $96 for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The above charges for pension and OPEB are determined as of the beginning of each year. The decrease in long-term employee
benefit expense in 2016 is driven by the curtailment gain recognized in 2016 related to the changes to the U.S. long term employee
benefits described above. The decrease in 2015 is primarily due to a curtailment gain, which is presented within income from
discontinued operations, partially offset by a decrease in discount rate. See "Long-term Employee Benefits" under the Critical
Accounting Estimates section beginning on page 42 of this report for additional information on determining annual expense.

The company's key assumptions used in calculating its pension and other post employment benefits are the expected return on
plan assets, the rate of compensation increases and the discount rate (see Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). For
2017, long term employee benefit expense from continuing operations is expected to increase by about $340 million mainly due
to the curtailment gain recognized in 2016. This amount does not include any potential settlement charges related to the company's
Pension Restoration Plan which provides lump sum payments to certain eligible retirees.

Environmental Matters
The company operates global manufacturing, product handling and distribution facilities that are subject to a broad array of
environmental laws and regulations. Such rules are subject to change by the implementing governmental agency, and the company
monitors these changes closely. Company policy requires that all operations fully meet or exceed legal and regulatory requirements.
In addition, the company implements voluntary programs to reduce air emissions, minimize the generation of hazardous waste,
decrease the volume of water use and discharges, increase the efficiency of energy use and reduce the generation of persistent,
bioaccumulative and toxic materials. Management has noted a global upward trend in the amount and complexity of proposed
chemicals regulation. The costs to comply with complex environmental laws and regulations, as well as internal voluntary programs
and goals, are significant and will continue to be significant for the foreseeable future.

Pre-tax environmental expenses charged to income from continuing operations are summarized below:

About 75 percent of total pre-tax environmental expenses charged to income from continuing operations in 2016 resulted from
operations in the U.S. Based on existing facts and circumstances, management does not believe that year over year changes, if
any, in environmental expenses charged to current operations will have a material impact on the company's financial position,
liquidity or results of operations. Annual expenditures in the near term are not expected to vary significantly from the range of
such expenditures experienced in the past few years. Longer term, expenditures are subject to considerable uncertainty and may
fluctuate significantly.

Environmental Operating Costs
As a result of its operations, the company incurs costs for pollution abatement activities including waste collection and disposal,
installation and maintenance of air pollution controls and wastewater treatment, emissions testing and monitoring, and obtaining
permits. The company also incurs costs related to environmental related research and development activities including
environmental field and treatment studies as well as toxicity and degradation testing to evaluate the environmental impact of
products and raw materials.

Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to environmental remediation costs, and, under adverse changes in circumstances,
the potential liability may range up to $900 million above the amount accrued as of December 31, 2016. However, based on
existing facts and circumstances, management does not believe that any loss, in excess of amounts accrued, related to remediation
activities at any individual site will have a material impact on the financial position, liquidity or results of operations of the company.

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the company is indemnified
by Chemours for certain environmental matters, included in the liability of $457 million, that have an estimated liability of $250
million as of December 31, 2016 and a potential exposure that ranges up to approximately $500 million above the amount accrued.
As such, the company has recorded an indemnification asset of $250 million corresponding to the company's accrual balance
related to these matters at December 31, 2016. Within the table above, during 2016, the remediation payments made by Chemours
are about $90 million and the indemnified portion of the net increase in the remediation accrual is about $50 million.

On December 15, 2016, DuPont reached a settlement in principle, valued at about $50 million, with the U.S. Departments of Justice
and the Interior and the Commonwealth of Virginia, to resolve remediation claims associated with mercury contamination in the
South River and South Fork Shenandoah River watershed. If approved by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Virginia, the settlement requires DuPont to make a cash payment of about $42 million and undertake certain remediation activities.
The full value of the settlement is included in the remediation accrual balance at December 31, 2016.

As of December 31, 2016, the company has been notified of potential liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund) or similar state laws at about 500 sites around the U.S., including
approximately 100 sites for which DuPont does not believe it has liability based on current information. Active remediation is
under way at approximately 90 of these sites. In addition, the company has resolved its liability at approximately 70 sites, either
by completing remedial actions with other PRPs or by participating in "de minimis buyouts" with other PRPs whose waste, like
the company's, represented only a small fraction of the total waste present at a site. The company received notice of potential
liability at one new site during 2016 compared with one and three similar notices in 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Environmental Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for environmental projects, either required by law or necessary to meet the company’s internal environmental
goals, were $39 million in 2016. The company currently estimates expenditures for environmental-related capital projects to be
about $55 million in 2017.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

Climate Change
The company believes that climate change is an important global issue that presents risks and opportunities. Expanding upon
significant global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other environmental footprint reductions made in the period 1990-2010,
as of 2015 the company reduced its environmental footprint, achieving reductions of 7.5 percent in GHG emissions, 7.6 percent
in water consumption, and 3.3 percent in energy intensity from non-renewable resources versus a 2010 baseline. In 2015, the
company announced its 2020 Sustainability Goals, including a goal to achieve a 7 percent reduction in GHG emissions intensity
(2015 baseline) and continuation of its goal to achieve a 10 percent improvement in energy intensity (2010 baseline). The company
continuously evaluates opportunities for existing and new product and service offerings in light of the anticipated demands of a
low-carbon economy.

The company is actively engaged in efforts to develop constructive public policies to reduce GHG emissions and encourage lower
carbon forms of energy. Such policies may bring higher operating costs as well as greater revenue and margin opportunities.
Legislative efforts to control or limit GHG emissions could affect the company's energy source and supply choices as well as
increase the cost of energy and raw materials derived from fossil fuels. Such efforts are also anticipated to provide the business
community with greater certainty for the regulatory future, help guide investment decisions, and drive growth in demand for low-
carbon and energy-efficient products, technologies, and services. Similarly, demand is expected to grow for products that facilitate
adaptation to a changing climate. However, the current unsettled policy environment in the U.S., where many company facilities
are located, adds an element of uncertainty to business decisions, particularly those relating to long-term capital investments.

In addition, significant differences in regional or national approaches could present challenges in a global marketplace. An effective
global climate policy framework will help drive the market changes that are needed to stimulate and efficiently deploy new
innovations in science and technology, while maintaining open and competitive global markets.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The company’s global operations are exposed to financial market risks relating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates,
commodity prices, and interest rates. The company has established a variety of programs including use of derivative instruments
and other financial instruments to manage the exposure to financial market risks as to minimize volatility of financial results. In
the ordinary course of business, the company enters into derivative instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign currency, interest
rate and commodity price risks under established procedures and controls. For additional information on these derivatives and
related exposures, see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Decisions regarding whether or not to hedge a given
commitment are made on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the amount and duration of the exposure, market volatility
and economic trends. Foreign currency exchange contracts are also used, from time to time, to manage near-term foreign currency
cash requirements.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks
The company has significant international operations resulting in a large number of currency transactions that result from
international sales, purchases, investments and borrowings. The primary currencies for which the company has an exchange rate
exposure are the European euro (EUR), Chinese yuan, Brazilian real, and Japanese yen. The company uses forward exchange
contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its
operations. In addition to the contracts disclosed in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, from time to time, the
company will enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to establish with certainty the U.S. dollar (USD) amount of future
firm commitments denominated in a foreign currency.

Certain foreign entities of the company held USD denominated marketable securities, mainly US government securities, at
December 31, 2015. The USD/EUR was the primary foreign exchange exposure for these nonfunctional currency denominated
marketable securities. These marketable securities were classified as “available-for-sale” and as such, fluctuations in foreign
exchange were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) within the Consolidated Statements of Equity. These
fluctuations were subsequently reclassified from AOCL to earnings in the period in which the marketable securities were sold.

The following table illustrates the fair values of outstanding foreign currency contracts and nonfunctional currency denominated
marketable securities at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the effect on fair values of a hypothetical adverse change in the foreign
exchange rates that existed at December 31, 2016 and 2015. The sensitivities for foreign currency contracts and nonfunctional
currency denominated marketable securities are based on a 10 percent adverse change in foreign exchange rates.

Since the company's risk management programs are highly effective, the potential loss in value for each risk management portfolio

Concentration of Credit Risk
The company maintains cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, derivatives and certain other financial instruments withtt
various financial institutions. These financial institutions are generally highly rated and geographically dispersed and the company
has a policy to limit the dollar amount of credit exposure with any one institution.

As part of the company's financial risk management processes, it continuously evaluates the relative credit standing of all of the
financial institutions that service DuPont and monitors actual exposures versus established limits. The company has not sustained
credit losses from instruments held at financial institutions.

The company's sales are not materially dependent on any single customer. As of December 31, 2016, no one individual customer
balance represented more than five percent of the company's total outstanding receivables balance. Credit risk associated with its
receivables balance is representative of the geographic, industry and customer diversity associated with the company's global
businesses.

The company also maintains strong credit controls in evaluating and granting customer credit. As a result, it may require that
customers provide some type of financial guarantee in certain circumstances. Length of terms for customer credit varies by industry
and region.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures to give reasonable assurance that information required to
be disclosed in the company's reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. These controls and
procedures also give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in such reports is accumulated and
communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As of December 31, 2016, the company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), together with
management, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that these disclosure
controls and procedures are effective.

There has been no change in the company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of
2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company's internal control over financial reporting.
The company has completed its evaluation of its internal controls and has concluded that the company's system of internal controls
over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2016 (see page F-2).

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

On January 31, 2017, the company entered into a committed receivable repurchase facility of up to $1.3 billion (the 2017 repurchase
facility) that expires on November 30, 2017. Under the 2017 repurchase facility, the company may sell a portfolio of available
and eligible outstanding customer notes receivables within the Agriculture segment to participating institutions and simultaneously
agree to repurchase at a future date. The 2017 repurchase facility is considered a secured borrowing with the customer notes
receivables, inclusive of those that are sold and repurchased, equal to 105 percent of the outstanding amounts borrowed utilized
as collateral. Borrowings under the repurchase facility will have an interest rate of LIBOR + 0.75 percent.

The actual award payouts can range from 0 to 200 percent of the original grant.
Represents the weighted-average exercise price of the outstanding stock options only; the outstanding stock-settled time-vested and performance-based
restricted stock units and deferred stock units are not included in this calculation.

of stock reserved for the grant or settlement of awards under the Equity and Incentive Plan (Share Limit) shall be 110,000 and shall be subject to adjustment
as provided therein; provided that each share in excess of 30,000 issued under the Equity and Incentive Plan pursuant to any award settled in stock, other
than a stock option or stock appreciation right, shall be counted against the foregoing Share Limit as four and one-half shares for every one share actually

Management's Reports on Responsibility for Financial Statements and
Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management's Report on Responsibility for Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the Consolidated Financial Statements and the other financial information contained in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America (GAAP) and are considered by management to present fairly the company's financial position,
results of operations and cash flows. The financial statements include some amounts that are based on management's best estimates
and judgments. The financial statements have been audited by the company's independent registered public accounting firm,
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The purpose of their audit is to express an opinion as to whether the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, the company's financial position,
results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. Their report is presented on the following page.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting as
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The company's internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. The company's internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that:

ii.

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company;

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the company; and

iii.

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition
of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Internal control over financial reporting has certain inherent limitations which may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition,
changes in conditions and business practices may cause variation in the effectiveness of internal controls.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based
on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-
Integrated Framework (2013). Based on its assessment and those criteria, management concluded that the company maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of the company's
internal control over financial reporting as of, as stated in their report, which is presented on the following page.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of
E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive
income, equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and
Company and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a) (2)
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated
financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for
these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in "Management's Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting" appearing on page F-2. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements,
on the financial statement schedule and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets
of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that
could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except per share)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The company follows generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). The significant accounting
policies described below, together with the other notes that follow, are an integral part of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the company and subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is
maintained. For those consolidated subsidiaries in which the company's ownership is less than 100 percent, the outside stockholders'
interests are shown as noncontrolling interests. Investments in affiliates over which the company has significant influence but not
a controlling interest are accounted for under the equity method.

The company is also involved with certain joint ventures accounted for under the equity method of accounting that are variable
interest entities (VIEs). The company is not the primary beneficiary, as the nature of the company's involvement with the VIEs
does not provide it the power to direct the VIEs significant activities. Future events may require these VIEs to be consolidated if
the company becomes the primary beneficiary. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the maximum exposure to loss related to the
unconsolidated VIEs is not considered material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Basis of Presentation
Certain reclassifications of prior year's data have been made to conform to current year's presentation, including recasting the
segment financial information as a result of the change in reportable segments which impacted the Industrial Biosciences segment,
the DuPont Protection Solutions segment and Other. Refer to Note 21 for further information. As noted below under “Recent
Accounting Pronouncements”, effective January 1, 2016, the company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-17,
Income Taxes (Topic 740), Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets
be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position on a retrospective basis. In conjunction with the adoption
of ASU No. 2015-17, the company also retrospectively reclassified deferred charges previously recorded in the current deferred
income taxes line item to prepaid expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On July 1, 2015, the company completed the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment through the spin-off of all of the
issued and outstanding stock of The Chemours Company (Chemours). In accordance with GAAP, the financial position and results
of operations of the Performance Chemicals segment are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded
from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. The sum of the individual earnings per share amounts
from continuing operations and discontinued operations may not equal the total company earnings per share amounts due to
rounding. The assets and liabilities related to the Performance Chemicals segment are presented as assets of discontinued operations
and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented. The cash flows and
comprehensive income related to the Performance Chemicals segment have not been segregated and are included in the
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Comprehensive Income, respectively, for all periods presented. Amounts related to
the Performance Chemicals segment are consistently included or excluded from the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
based on the respective financial statement line item. See Note 3 for additional information.

Revenue Recognition
The company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete. The company's revenues are from the sale of a wide
range of products to a diversified base of customers around the world. Revenue for product sales is recognized upon delivery,
when title and risk of loss have been transferred, collectability is reasonably assured and pricing is fixed or determinable. Amajority
of product sales are sold FOB (free on board) shipping point or, with respect to non United States of America (U.S.) customers,
an equivalent basis. Accruals are made for sales returns and other allowances based on the company's experience. The company
accounts for cash sales incentives as a reduction in sales and noncash sales incentives as a charge to cost of goods sold or selling
expense, depending on the nature of the incentive. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling fees are included in net
sales and costs incurred by the company for the delivery of goods are classified as cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Income
Statements. Taxes on revenue-producing transactions are excluded from net sales.

E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share)

The company periodically enters into prepayment contracts with customers in the Agriculture segment and receives advance
payments for product to be delivered in future periods. These advance payments are recorded as deferred revenue (classified as
other accrued liabilities) or debt, depending on the nature of the program. Revenue associated with advance payments is recognized
as shipments are made and title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer.

Licensing and royalty income is recognized in accordance with agreed upon terms, when performance obligations are satisfied,
the amount is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold primarily includes the cost of manufacture and delivery, ingredients or raw materials, direct salaries, wages
and benefits and overhead.

Other Operating Charges
Other operating charges includes product claim charges and recoveries, non-capitalizable costs associated with capital projects
and other operational expenses.

Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense includes costs (primarily consisting
of employee costs, materials, contract services, research agreements, and other external spend) relating to the discovery and
development of new products, enhancement of existing products and regulatory approval of new and existing products.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include selling and marketing expenses, commissions, functional costs,
and business management expenses.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents represent investments with maturities of three months or less from time of purchase. They are carried at cost
plus accrued interest.

Marketable Securities
Marketable securities represent investments in fixed and floating rate financial instruments with maturities greater than three
months and up to twelve months at time of purchase. Investments classified as held-to-maturity are recorded at amortized cost.
The carrying value approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the investments. Investments classified as available-
for-sale are carried at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss).

Fair Value Measurements
Under the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures, a fair value hierarchy was established that prioritizes
the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3
measurements). A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is
significant to the fair value measurement.

The company uses the following valuation techniques to measure fair value for its assets and liabilities:

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

–

Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Significant other observable inputs (e.g. quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for
identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable
such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs);

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are valued based on management's estimates of
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

F-10

E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share)

Inventories
The company's inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Elements of cost in inventories include raw
materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Stores and supplies are valued at cost or net realizable value, whichever is
lower; cost is generally determined by the average cost method.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately 55, 30 and 15 percent of the company’s inventories were accounted for under
the first-in, first-out (FIFO), average cost and last-in, first-out (LIFO) methods, respectively. Inventories accounted for under the
FIFO method are primarily comprised of products with shorter shelf lives such as seeds, certain food-ingredients and enzymes.

The company establishes allowances for obsolescence of inventory based upon quality considerations and assumptions about
future demand and market conditions.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method. Substantially all equipment and
buildings are depreciated over useful lives ranging from 15 to 25 years. Capitalizable costs associated with computer software for
internal use are amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 to 7 years. When assets are surrendered, retired, sold or otherwise disposed
of, their gross carrying values and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets and
included in determining gain or loss on such disposals.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations; replacements and improvements are capitalized.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not
individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least
annually; however, these tests are performed more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset mayaa
be impaired. Impairment exists when carrying value exceeds fair value. The company's fair value methodology is primarily based
on discounted cash flow techniques.

Definite-lived intangible assets, such as purchased and licensed technology, patents and customer lists are amortized over their
estimated useful lives, generally for periods ranging from 1 to 20 years or amortized based on units of production. The company
continually evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. Once these assets are fully amortized, they are removed
from the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events or changes in circumstances
indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset group is considered impaired when
the total projected undiscounted cash flows from the assets are separately identifiable and are less than its carrying value. In that
event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. The
company's fair value methodology is an estimate of fair market value which is made based on prices of similar assets or other
valuation methodologies including present value techniques. Long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale are classified
as held for use until their disposal. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are classified as held for sale and are reported at
the lower of carrying amount or fair market value less cost to sell. Depreciation is discontinued for long-lived assets classified as
held for sale.

rr
ff

Royalty Expense
The company’s Agriculture segment currently has certain third party biotechnology trait license agreements, which require up-
front and variable payments subject to the licensor meeting certain conditions. These payments are reflected as prepaid expenses
and other assets and are amortized to cost of goods sold as seeds containing the respective trait technology are utilized over the
life of the license. The company evaluates the carrying value of the prepaid royalties when events or changes in circumstances
indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Environmental
Accruals for environmental matters are recorded in operating expenses when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and
the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Accrued liabilities do not include claims against third parties and are not
discounted.

F-11

E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share)

Costs related to environmental remediation and restoration are charged to expense. Other environmental costs are also charged to
expense unless they increase the value of the property or reduce or prevent contamination from future operations, in which case,
they are capitalized.

Litigation
The company accrues for liabilities related to litigation matters when the information available indicates that it is probable that a
liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs such as outside counsel fees
and expenses are charged to expense in the period incurred.

Insurance/Self-Insurance
The company self-insures certain risks where permitted by law or regulation, including workers' compensation, vehicle liability
and employee related benefits. Liabilities associated with these risks are estimated in part by considering historical claims
experience, demographic factors and other actuarial assumptions. For other risks, the company uses a combination of insurance
and self-insurance, reflecting comprehensive reviews of relevant risks. A receivable for an insurance recovery is generally
recognized when the loss has occurred and collection is considered probable.

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this
approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
are recovered or paid. The provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change
in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax basis of the company's assets
and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded
to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Provision has been made for
income taxes on unremitted earnings of subsidiaries and affiliates, except for subsidiaries in which earnings are deemed to be
indefinitely reinvested. Investment tax credits or grants are accounted for in the period earned (the flow-through method). Interest
accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits is included in miscellaneous income and expenses, net, within other income, net.
Income tax related penalties are included in the provision for income taxes.

Foreign Currency Translation
The company's worldwide operations utilize the U.S. dollar (USD) or local currency as the functional currency, where applicable.
The company identifies its separate and distinct foreign entities and groups the foreign entities into two categories: 1) extension
of the parent (USD functional currency) and 2) self-contained (local functional currency). If a foreign entity does not align with
either category, factors are evaluated and a judgment is made to determine the functional currency.

For foreign entities where the USD is the functional currency, all foreign currency-denominated asset and liability amounts are
re-measured into USD at end-of-period exchange rates, except for inventories, prepaid expenses, property, plant and equipment,
goodwill and other intangible assets, which are re-measured at historical rates. Foreign currency income and expenses are re-
measured at average exchange rates in effect during the year, except for expenses related to balance sheet amounts re-measured
at historical exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from re-measurement of foreign currency-denominated monetary
assets and liabilities are included in income in the period in which they occur.

For foreign entities where the local currency is the functional currency, assets and liabilities denominated in local currencies are
translated into USD at end-of-period exchange rates and the resultant translation adjustments are reported, net of their related tax
effects, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in equity. Assets and liabilities denominated in other
than the local currency are re-measured into the local currency prior to translation into USD and the resultant exchange gains or
losses are included in income in the period in which they occur. Income and expenses are translated into USD at average exchange
rates in effect during the period.

The company changes the functional currency of its separate and distinct foreign entities only when significant changes in economic
facts and circumstances indicate clearly that the functional currency has changed. As a result of the separation of its Performance
Chemicals segment, coupled with the company’s redesign initiative, the functional currency at certain of the company’s foreign
entities was re-evaluated which, in some cases, resulted in a change in the foreign entities' functional currency during 2015.

Venezuelan Foreign Currency
Venezuela is considered a highly inflationary economy under GAAP and the USD is the functional currency for the company's
subsidiaries in Venezuela. The official exchange rate continues to be set through the National Center for Foreign Commerce
(CENCOEX, previously CADIVI). Based on its evaluation of the restrictions and limitations affecting the availability of specific
exchange rate mechanisms, management concluded in the second quarter of 2014 that the Alternative Currency Exchange System
(SICAD 2) auction process would be the most likely mechanism available. As a result, in the second quarter of 2014, the companyaa
changed from the official exchange rate to the SICAD 2 exchange rate, which resulted in a pre-tax charge of $58. The charge is
recorded within other income, net in the company's Consolidated Income Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Venezuelan government enacted additional changes to the country's foreign exchange systems
including the introduction of the Foreign Exchange Marginal System (SIMADI) auction process. Management has concluded
that the SIMADI auction process would be the most likely exchange mechanism available. As a result, effective in the first quarter
of 2015, the company changed from the SICAD 2 to the SIMADI exchange rate, to re-measure its Bolivar Fuertes (VEF)
denominated net monetary assets which resulted in a pre-tax charge of $3. The charge is recorded within other income, net in the
company's Consolidated Income Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. The remaining net monetary assets and non-
monetary assets are immaterial at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Hedging and Trading Activities
Derivative instruments are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values. For derivative instruments designated
as fair value hedges, changes in the fair values of the derivative instruments will generally be offset in the income statement by
changes in the fair value of the hedged items. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of
any hedge is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until it is cleared to earnings during the same period in
which the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of all hedges is recognized in current period earnings. Changes
in the fair values of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges are recorded in current period earnings.

aa
t
n

In the event that a derivative designated as a hedge of a firm commitment or an anticipated transaction is terminated prior to the
maturation of the hedged transaction, gains or losses realized at termination are deferred and included in the measurement of the
hedged transaction. If a hedged transaction matures, or is sold, extinguished, or terminated prior to the maturity of a derivative
designated as a hedge of such transaction, gains or losses associated with the derivative through the date the transaction matured
are included in the measurement of the hedged transaction and the derivative is reclassified as for trading purposes. Derivatives
designated as hedges of anticipated transactions are reclassified as for trading purposes if the anticipated transaction is no longer
probable.

Cash flows from derivative instruments accounted for as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges are reported in the same
category as the cash flows from the items being hedged. Cash flows from all other derivative instruments are generally reported
as investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 19 for additional discussion regarding the company's
objectives and strategies for derivative instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Implemented in 2016
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740),
Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The amendments under the new guidance require that deferred tax liabilities and
assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The guidance is effective for financial statements
issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application
is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The amendments in this ASU may be
applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The company adopted
this guidance effective January 1, 2016 on a retrospective basis. As a result of the adoption, $368 and $37 of deferred tax assets
and liabilities, respectively, were reclassified from current to noncurrent assets and liabilities, respectively, as of December 31,
2015.

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosures for Investments in Certain
Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share or its Equivalent. This guidance removes the requirement to categorize within
the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient.
The guidance also removes the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair
value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the
entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. A reporting entity should apply the amendments retrospectively
to all periods presented and early adoption is permissible. The company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016. The
guidance only impacts disclosure and did not impact the company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

ff
t

New Accounting Pronouncements to be Implemented
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than
Inventory. The new guidance requires that entities recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset
other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than when the asset is sold to an outside party. The guidance is effective for
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods.
Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period (as of the first interim period if an entity issues
interim financial statements). The new guidance requires adoption on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect
adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The company is currently evaluating the
impact this guidance will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts
and Cash Payments. The new guidance makes eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and
classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts
the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that
interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The new guidance requires
adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case the company would be required to apply the
amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will
have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee
Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU was issued as part of the FASB Simplification Initiative and involves several aspects
of accounting for shared-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, forfeitures and classification on the
statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods
within those annual periods. The company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2017. The primary effects of adoption for the
company relate to changes in classification within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and recognition of tax effects related
to share-based payments. The new guidance requires all tax related cash flows resulting from share-based payments to be reported
as cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This is a change from the current requirement
to present excess tax benefits as cash inflows from financing activities and tax deficiencies as cash outflows from operating
activities. As permitted by the standard, the company has elected to adopt this reclassification on a retrospective basis. The
updated guidance also requires all tax effects related to share-based payments to be recognized within the provision for income
taxes in the Consolidated Income Statements. Previously excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies were recognized in additional
paid-in capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The standard does not permit retrospective adoption of this update. As such,
the company will adopt this update on a prospective basis. The remaining updates required by this standard are not expected to
have a material impact to the company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments under the new guidance will require
lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, other than leases that meet
the definition of a short-term lease. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified
as either operating or finance. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease
accounting. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and
the new revenue recognition standard. The new leasing standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified
retrospective transition, requiring application at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The company is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position and results of operations. The company is the
lessee under various agreements for facilities and equipment that are currently accounted for as operating leases as discussed in
Note 15.

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) jointly issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue
from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which was further updated in March, April, May, and December 2016. The new
guidance clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for GAAP and International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be
entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The new standard also will result in additional disclosure requirements to describe
the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In July 2015, the
FASB approved a deferral of the ASU effective date from annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 to annual
and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or modified
retrospective (cumulative-effect) transition method of adoption. The company continues to evaluate the impact of the new standard
on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. Based on the analysis conducted to date, the company does not believe
the impact upon adoption will be material to its Consolidated Financial Statements. The company plans to adopt the standard in
the first quarter of 2018 under the modified retrospective transition method.

2. PLANNED MERGER WITH DOW
On December 11, 2015, DuPont and The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) announced entry into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the Merger Agreement), under which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger of equals subject to satisfaction of
customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval. The combined company will be named DowDuPont Inc.
(DowDuPont). Following the consummation of the merger, DuPont and Dow intend to pursue, subject to the receipt of approval
by the board of directors of DowDuPont, the separation of the combined company’s agriculture business, specialty products
business and material science business through a series of tax-efficient transactions (collectively, the Intended Business
Separations).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock, par value $0.30 per share, of DuPont
(DuPont Common Stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, excluding any shares of DuPont Common
Stock that are held in treasury, will be converted into the right to receive 1.2820 shares common stock, par value $0.01 per share,
of DowDuPont (DowDuPont Common Stock), for each share of DuPont Common Stock with cash in lieu of any fractional share
of DowDuPont. Each share of DuPont Preferred Stock-$4.50 Series and DuPont Preferred Stock-$3.50 Series, in each case issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall remain issued and outstanding and be unaffected by the merger.

Based on the aforementioned 1.2820 exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement and the conversion of the Dow Preferred
to Dow Common Stock, it is expected that DuPont common stockholders and Dow common stockholders will own approximately
48 percent and 52 percent, respectively, of the outstanding shares of DowDuPont Common Stock immediately following the
Effective Time.

F-15

E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

Conditions to the Mergerg
The completion of the merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including (i) the receipt of certain
domestic and foreign approvals under competition laws; (ii) DuPont and Dow reasonably determining that the merger does not
constitute an acquisition of a 50 percent or greater interest in DuPont and Dow, respectively, under the principles of Section 355
(e) of the Internal Revenue Code; (iii) the absence of governmental restraints or prohibitions preventing the consummation of thet
merger; and (iv) the approval of the shares of DowDuPont Common Stock to be issued in the merger for listing on the NYSE. The
obligation of each of DuPont and Dow to consummate the merger is also conditioned on, among other things, the receipt of a tax
opinion from the tax counsel as to the tax-free nature of the merger, and the truth and correctness of the representations and
warranties made by the other party as of the closing date (subject to certain “materiality” and “material adverse effect” qualifiers).

Additional information about the Merger Agreement and the Intended Business Separations is set forth in the company’s Current
Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on December 11, 2015; the company’s
2015 Annual Report filed with the SEC on February 4, 2016 and the registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-209869)
(as amended, the Registration Statement) filed by DowDuPont and declared effective by the SEC on June 9, 2016. The Registration
Statement constitutes a prospectus of DowDuPont and includes a joint proxy statement of Dow and DuPont. The joint proxy
statement relates to the separate special meetings of the companies’ respective common stock shareholders of record as of the
close of business on June 2, 2016, to adopt the Merger Agreement and related matters. DuPont's special meeting of stockholders
was held on July 20, 2016, which resulted in a vote for adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of related matters.

Consummation of the merger is contingent on satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory
approval from the U.S., European Union, China, Brazil and Canada. Subject to satisfaction of these customary closing conditions,
including the receipt of regulatory approvals, closing would be expected to occur in first half of 2017.

Certain Other Terms of the Merger Agreement
The Merger Agreement contains mutual customary representations and warranties made by each of DuPont and Dow, and also
contains mutual customary pre-closing covenants, including covenants, among others, (i) to operate its businesses in the ordinarya
course consistent with past practice and to refrain from taking certain actions without the other party’s consent, (ii) not to solicit,
initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly take any other action designed to facilitate, and, subject to certain exceptions, not to
participate in any discussions or negotiations, or cooperate in any way with respect to, any inquiries or the making of, any proposal
of an alternative transaction, (iii) subject to certain exceptions, not to withdraw, qualify or modify the support of its Board of
Directors for the Merger Agreement and the merger, as applicable, and (iv) to use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain
governmental, regulatory and third party approvals, including by agreeing to any required divestiture of assets or business.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for each of DuPont and Dow, including in the event that (i) the merger
is not consummated on or before March 15, 2017, subject to each party having the right to unilaterally extend the termination date
of the Merger Agreement until June 15, 2017 (the Outside Date) in the event that the regulatory closing conditions have not been
satisfied or (ii) if any restraint having the effect of preventing the consummation of the merger shall have become final and non-
appealable or if any governmental entity that must grant a requisite regulatory approval has denied approval of the merger.

The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including
(i) a change in the recommendation of the Board of Directors of DuPont and Dow or (ii) a termination of the Merger Agreement
by DuPont and Dow, because of a material breach by the other party or because the merger is not consummated by the Outside
Date, in each case set forth in this clause (ii) at a time when there was an offer or proposal for an alternative transaction with respect
to such party and such party enters into or consummates an alternative transaction within 12 months following such date of
termination, DuPont and Dow, as the case may be, will pay to the other party a termination fee equal to $1,900 in cash.

During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the company incurred $386 and $10, respectively, of costs in connection
with the planned merger with Dow and the Intended Business Separations, including costs relating to integration and separation
planning. These costs were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the company's Consolidated Income
Statements and primarily include financial advisory, legal, accounting, consulting and other advisory fees and expenses.

3. DIVESTITURES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
DuPont (Shenzhen) Manufacturing Limited
In March 2016, the company recognized the sale of its 100 percent ownership interest in DuPont (Shenzhen) Manufacturing
Limited to the Feixiang Group. The sale of the entity, which held certain buildings and other assets, resulted in a pre-tax gain
of $369 ($214 net of tax). The gain was recorded in other income, net in the company's Consolidated Income Statements for the
year ended December 31, 2016 and reflected as a Corporate item.

Performance Chemicals
On July 1, 2015 (the Distribution Date), DuPont completed the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment through the spin-
off of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Chemours (the Separation). To effect the spin-off, DuPont distributed to its
stockholders one share of Chemours common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for every five shares of DuPont common stock,
par value $0.30 per share, (the Distribution) outstanding as of 5:00 p.m. June 23, 2015, the record date for the Distribution. In
lieu of fractional shares of Chemours, stockholders of DuPont received cash, which generally was taxable. In connection with
the Separation, the company and Chemours entered into a Separation Agreement, discussed below, and a Tax Matters Agreement
and certain ancillary agreements, including an employee matters agreement, agreements related to transition and site services, and
intellectual property cross licensing arrangements. In addition, the companies have entered into certain supply agreements. In then
first quarter 2016, the company agreed in principle to prepay $190 for certain goods and services expected to be delivered by
Chemours. As of December 31, 2016, the balance of the prepayment was $60 recorded within prepaid expenses on the Consolidated
Balance Sheet, which is expected to be fully utilized through delivery of goods and services during 2017.

Separation Agreement
The company and Chemours entered into a Separation Agreement that sets forth, among other things, the agreements between the
company and Chemours regarding the principal transactions necessary to effect the Separation and also sets forth ancillary
agreements that govern certain aspects of the company’s relationship with Chemours after the separation. Among other matters,
the Separation Agreement and the ancillary agreements provide for the allocation between DuPont and Chemours of assets,
employees, liabilities and obligations (including investments, property and employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities)
attributable to periods prior to, at and after the completion of the Separation.

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Chemours indemnifies DuPont against certain litigation, environmental, workers'
compensation and other liabilities that arose prior to the distribution. The term of this indemnification is indefinite and includes
defense costs and expenses, as well as monetary and non-monetary settlements and judgments. In connection with the recognition
of liabilities related to these matters, the company records an indemnification asset when recovery is deemed probable. At
December 31, 2016, the indemnified assets are $81 within accounts and notes receivable, net and $444 within other assets along
with the corresponding liabilities of $81 within other accrued liabilities and $444 within other liabilities on the Consolidated
Balance Sheet.

During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the company incurred $35, $306, and $175 of costs, respectively, in
connection with the transaction primarily related to professional fees associated with preparation of regulatory filings and separation
activities within finance, tax, legal, and information system functions. Income from discontinued operations during the years

ended December 31, 2015 also included $20 of transaction costs incurred for a premium associated with the early retirement of
DuPont debt. The company exchanged notes received from Chemours in May 2015 (as part of a dividend payment) for DuPont
debt that it then retired. These costs were reported in interest expense in the company's Consolidated Income Statements.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, in connection with the separation, the company recorded an other post employment
benefit plan curtailment gain of $274 and a pension curtailment gain of $7. See Note 17 for further discussion.

Income from discontinued operations during the year ended December 31, 2015, included a restructuring charge of $59, consisting

4. EMPLOYEE SEPARATION/ASSET RELATED CHARGES, NET
La Porte Plant, La Porte, Texas
In March 2016, DuPont announced its decision to not re-start the Agriculture segment’s insecticide manufacturing facility at the
La Porte site located in La Porte, Texas. The facility manufactures Lannate® and Vydate® insecticides and has been shut down
since November 2014. As a result of this decision, during the year ended December 31, 2016, a pre-tax charge of $68 was recorded
in employee separation / asset related charges, net which included $41 of asset related charges, $11 of contract termination costs,
and $16 of employee severance and related benefit costs.

2016 Global Cost Savings and Restructuring Program
In December 2015, DuPont committed to take structural actions across all businesses and staff functions globally to operate more
efficiently by further consolidating businesses and aligning staff functions more closely with them as part of a 2016 global cost
savings and restructuring plan. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2015, a pre-tax charge of $798 was recorded,
consisting of $793 of employee separation / asset related charges, net and $5 in other income, net in the company's Consolidated
Income Statements. The charges consisted of $656 in severance and related benefit costs, $109 in asset related charges, and $33
in contract termination charges.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, in connection with the restructuring actions, the company recorded a net pre-tax benefit ff
to earnings of $(85), consisting of $(88) in employee separation / asset related charges, net, and a $3 charge to other income, net
in the company's Consolidated Income Statements. The net benefit was comprised of a reduction of $(154) in severance and related
benefit costs, offset by $53 of asset related charges, and $16 of contract termination costs. This was primarily due to a reduction
in severance and related benefit costs partially offset by the identification of additional projects in certain segments. The reduction
in severance and related benefit costs was driven by elimination of positions at a lower cost than expected as a result of redeployments
and attrition as well as lower than estimated individual severance costs.

The restructuring actions associated with this charge impacted approximately 10 percent of DuPont’s workforce and are substantially
complete.

The 2016 restructuring program (benefits) charges related to the segments, as well as corporate expenses, were as follows:

2014 Restructuring Program
In June 2014, DuPont announced its global, multi-year initiative to redesign its global organization and operating model to reduce
costs and improve productivity and agility across all businesses and functions. DuPont commenced a restructuring plan to realign
and rebalance staff function support, enhance operational efficiency, and to reduce residual costs associated with the separation of
its Performance Chemicals segment. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, total liabilities related to the 2014 restructuring program
were $9 and $78, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2016 a benefit of $(21) was recorded in employee separation /
asset related charges, net in the company's Consolidated Income Statements to reduce the accrual for severance costs.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, a net benefit of $(21) was recorded to adjust the estimated costs associated with the
2014 restructuring program in employee separation / asset related charges, net in the company's Consolidated Income Statements.
This was primarily due to lower than estimated individual severance costs and workforce reductions achieved through non-severance
programs, offset by the identification of additional projects in certain segments.

During the year ended December 31, 2014 a pre-tax charge of $541 was recorded, consisting of $476 in employee separation / asset
related charges, net and $65 in other income, net in the company's Consolidated Income Statements. The charges consisted of $301
of severance and related benefit costs, $17 of other non-personnel charges, and $223 of asset related charges, including $65 of
charges associated with the restructuring actions of a joint venture within the Performance Materials segment.

The 2014 restructuring program (benefits) charges related to the segments, as well as corporate expenses, were as follows:

Asset Impairments
In the fourth quarter 2015, the company elected to defer further testing and deployment of a multi-year, phased implementation of
an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system; which had not been placed in service as of year-end 2016. At December 31, 2016,
the company had capitalized costs associated with the ERP system of $435. In connection with IT strategy reviews conducted
during the fourth quarter of 2016, the company reviewed considerations around the timing of restarting testing and deployment of
the ERP system. As a result, the company intends to complete and place in service the ERP system, however, given the uncertainties
related to implementation timing as well as potential developments and changes to technologies in the market place at the time of
restart, use of this ERP system can no longer be considered probable. As a result, due to the specificity of the design related to the
ERP system, the company determined that the uncompleted ERP system has a fair value of zero and recorded a pre-tax charge of
$435 in employee separation / asset related charges, net in the company's Consolidated Income Statements during the year ended
December 31, 2016.

The company recognized a $158 pre-tax impairment charge in employee separation / asset related charges, net in the company's
Consolidated Income Statements during the year ended December 31, 2016 related to indefinite-lived intangible trade names within
the Industrial Biosciences segment. In connection with business strategy reviews and brand realignment conducted during the third
quarter 2016, the company decided to phase out the use of certain acquired trade names within the segment resulting in a change
from an indefinite life to a finite useful life for these assets. As a result of these changes, the carrying value of the trade name assets
exceeded the fair value.

The basis of the fair value for the charges was calculated utilizing an income approach (relief from royalty method) using Level 3
inputs within the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 1. The key assumptions used in the calculation included projected
revenue, royalty rates and discount rates. These key assumptions involve management judgment and estimates relating to future
operating performance and economic conditions that may differ from actual cash flows. After the recognition of the impairment
charge, the remaining net book value of the trade names was $28, which represented fair value.

During the first quarter 2015, a $38 pre-tax impairment charge was recorded in employee separation / asset related charges, net
within the Other segment in the company's Consolidated Income Statements. The majority relates to a cost basis investment in
which the assessment resulted from the venture's revised operating plan reflecting underperformance of its European wheat based
ethanol facility and deteriorating European ethanol market conditions. One of the primary investors communicated that they would
not fund the revised operating plan of the investee. As a result, the carrying value of DuPont's 6 percent cost basis investment in
this venture exceeds its fair value by $37, such that an impairment charge was recorded.

The following table summarizes the impacts of the company's foreign currency hedging program on the company's results from
operations for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. The company routinely uses foreign currency exchange
contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The
objective of this program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies in order to minimize, on an after-
tax basis, the effects of exchange rate changes on net monetary asset positions. The hedging program gains are largely taxable in
the U.S., whereas the offsetting exchange losses on the re-measurement of the net monetary asset positions are often not tax
deductible in their local jurisdictions. The net pre-tax exchange gains (losses) are recorded in other income, net and the related
tax impact is recorded in provision for income taxes on continuing operations on the Consolidated Income Statements.

The increase in international pre-tax earnings from continuing operations from 2015 to 2016 is primarily driven by the gain on
the sale of DuPont (Shenzhen) Manufacturing Limited in 2016 in addition to the absence of 2015 employee separation / asset
related charges, net.

The decrease in pre-tax earnings from continuing operations from 2014 to 2015 is primarily driven by lower worldwide sales
volume, the absence of 2014 gains on sales of businesses primarily in the U.S., higher employee separation / asset related charges,
net, as well as the results of the company’s hedging program.

In 2016 and 2015, the U.S. recorded a net exchange (loss) gain associated with the hedging program of $(304) and $434, respectively.
While the taxation of the amounts reflected on the chart above does not correspond precisely to the jurisdiction of taxation (due dd
to taxation in multiple countries, exchange gains/losses, etc.), it represents a reasonable approximation of the income before income
taxes split between U.S. and international jurisdictions. See Note 19 for additional information regarding the company's hedging
program.

Under the tax laws of various jurisdictions in which the company operates, deductions or credits that cannot be fully utilized for
tax purposes during the current year may be carried forward or back, subject to statutory limitations, to reduce taxable income or
taxes payable in future or prior years. At December 31, 2016, the tax effect of such carryforwards/backs, net of valuation allowance
approximated $516. Of this amount, $285 has no expiration date, $3 expires after 2016 but before the end of 2021 and $228 expires
after 2021.

At December 31, 2016, unremitted earnings of subsidiaries outside the U.S. totaling $17,380 were deemed to be indefinitely
reinvested. No deferred tax liability has been recognized with regard to the remittance of such earnings. It is not practicable to
estimate the income tax liability that might be incurred if such earnings were remitted to the U.S.

Each year the company files hundreds of tax returns in the various national, state and local income taxing jurisdictions in which
it operates. These tax returns are subject to examination and possible challenge by the tax authorities. Positions challenged by the
tax authorities may be settled or appealed by the company. As a result, there is an uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the
company's financial statements in accordance with accounting for income taxes and accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.
It is reasonably possible that net reductions to the company’s global unrecognized tax benefits could be in the range of $70 to $90
within the next 12 months with the majority due to the settlement of uncertain tax positions with various tax authorities.

Accounts and notes receivable – trade are net of allowances of $287 at 2016 and $225 at 2015. Allowances are equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts.
That estimate is based on historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions, and review of the current status of customers' accounts.
Notes receivable – trade primarily consists of receivables within the Agriculture segment for deferred payment loan programs for the sale of seed products
to customers. These loans have terms of one year or less and are primarily concentrated in North America. The company maintains a rigid pre-approval
process for extending credit to customers in order to manage overall risk and exposure associated with credit losses. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015,
there were no significant past due notes receivable, nor were there any significant impairments related to current loan agreements.
Other includes receivables in relation to fair value of derivative instruments, indemnification assets, value added tax, general sales tax and other taxes.

Accounts and notes receivable are carried at amounts that approximate fair value.

3. Microbial cell factories, derived from natural microbes, are used to sustainably produce enzymes, peptides and chemicals using natural metabolic processes.
The company recognized the microbial cell factories as an intangible asset upon the acquisition of Danisco. This intangible asset is expected to contribute
to cash flows beyond the foreseeable future and there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, or other factors which limit its useful life.
Pioneer germplasm is the pool of genetic source material and body of knowledge gained from the development and delivery stage of plant breeding. The
company recognized germplasm as an intangible asset upon the acquisition of Pioneer. This intangible asset is expected to contribute to cash flows beyond
the foreseeable future and there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, or other factors which limit its useful life.

The aggregate pre-tax amortization expense from continuing operations for definite-lived intangible assets was $319, $360 and
$360 for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The estimated aggregate pre-tax amortization expense from continuing operations
for 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 is $208, $211, $213, $187 and $138, respectively.

The estimated fair value of the company's short-term borrowings, including interest rate financial instruments, was determined
using Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 1. Based on quoted market prices for the same or similar
issues, or on current rates offered to the company for debt of the same remaining maturities, the fair value of the company's short-
term borrowings was $430 and $1,190 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Unused bank credit lines were approximately $7,900 and $4,900 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These lines are
available to support short-term liquidity needs and general corporate purposes including letters of credit and have a remaining life
of up to two years. Outstanding letters of credit were $188 and $203 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These letters
of credit support commitments made in the ordinary course of business.

The weighted-average interest rate on short-term borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was 2.2 percent and 4.1
percent, respectively. The decrease in the interest rate for 2016 was primarily due to lower long-term debt maturities within one
year.

Average interest rates on medium-term notes were 0.6 percent and 0.1 percent at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Includes long-term debt due within one year.
During 2008, the interest rate swap agreement associated with these notes was terminated. The gain will be amortized over the remaining life of the bond,
resulting in an effective yield of 3.85 percent.
Average interest rates on other loans were 4.3 percent at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

In connection with the spin-off of Chemours, as discussed in Note 3, the company received a dividend from Chemours in May
2015 of $3,923 comprised of a cash distribution of $3,416 and a distribution in-kind of $507 of 7 percent senior unsecured notes
due 2025 (Chemours Notes Received).

In 2015, DuPont exchanged the Chemours Notes Received for $488 of company debt due in 2016 as follows: $152 of 1.95 percent
notes, $277 of 2.75 percent notes, and $59 of 5.25 percent notes. The company paid a premium of $20, recorded in interest
expense in the company's Consolidated Income Statements in 2015, in connection with the early retirement of the $488 of 2016
notes. This debt for debt exchange was considered an extinguishment.

Maturities of long-term borrowings are $1,323, $1,004, $1,003 and $1,503 for the years 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively,
and $3,300 thereafter.

The estimated fair value of the company's long-term borrowings, was determined using Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy,
as described in Note 1. Based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues, or on current rates offered to the company
for debt of the same remaining maturities, the fair value of the company's long-term borrowings was $8,460 and $7,860 at
December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Term Loan Facility
In March 2016, the company entered into a credit agreement that provides for a three-year, senior unsecured term loan facility in
the aggregate principal amount of $4,500 (the Term Loan Facility). DuPont may make up to seven term loan borrowings within
one year of the closing date and amounts repaid or prepaid are not available for subsequent borrowings. The Term Loan Facility
matures in March 2019 at which time all outstanding borrowings, including accrued but unpaid interest, become immediately due
and payable.

Under the Term Loan Facility, DuPont can borrow funds at LIBOR plus a spread from 0.75 percent to 1.25 percent (LIBOR Loan
Rate) depending on DuPont's long term credit rating. As of December 31, 2016, the company had borrowed $500 at the LIBOR
Loan Rate and had unused commitments of $4,000 under the Term Loan Facility.

DuPont has the option of obtaining a same day loan under the Term Loan Facility at an interest rate based on the higher of a) the
LIBOR Loan Rate, b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5 percent plus a margin from 0.00 percent to 0.25 percent depending
on DuPont's long term credit rating (Margin) or c) the prime rate plus Margin.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Guarantees
Indemnifications
In connection with acquisitions and divestitures, the company has indemnified respective parties against certain liabilities that
may arise in connection with these transactions and business activities prior to the completion of the transaction. The term of these
indemnifications, which typically pertain to environmental, tax and product liabilities, is generally indefinite. In addition, the
company indemnifies its duly elected or appointed directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, against
liabilities incurred as a result of their activities for the company, such as adverse judgments relating to litigation matters. If the
indemnified party were to incur a liability or have a liability increase as a result of a successful claim, pursuant to the terms of the
indemnification, the company would be required to reimburse the indemnified party. The maximum amount of potential future
payments is generally unlimited.

Obligations for Equity Affiliates & Others
The company has directly guaranteed various debt obligations under agreements with third parties related to equity affiliates,
customers and suppliers. At December 31, 2016, the company had directly guaranteed $354 of such obligations. This amount
represents the maximum potential amount of future (undiscounted) payments that the company could be required to make under
the guarantees. The company would be required to perform on these guarantees in the event of default by the guaranteed party.

The company assesses the payment/performance risk by assigning default rates based on the duration of the guarantees. These
default rates are assigned based on the external credit rating of the counterparty or through internal credit analysis and historical
default history for counterparties that do not have published credit ratings. For counterparties without an external rating or available
credit history, a cumulative average default rate is used.

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

In certain cases, the company has recourse to assets held as collateral, as well as personal guarantees from customers and suppliers.
Assuming liquidation, these assets are estimated to cover approximately 23 percent of the $167 of guaranteed obligations of
customers and suppliers. Set forth below are the company's guaranteed obligations at December 31, 2016:

Obligations for customers and suppliers1:
Bank borrowings (terms up to 5 years)

Obligations for equity affiliates2:

Operating Leases
The company uses various leased facilities and equipment in its operations. The terms for these leased assets vary depending on
the lease agreement.

Future minimum lease payments (including residual value guarantee amounts) under non-cancelable operating leases are $263,
$233, $207, $158 and $123 for the years 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively, and $219 for subsequent years and are
not reduced by non-cancelable minimum sublease rentals due in the future in the amount of $2. Net rental expense under operating
leases was $245, $271 and $249 in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Litigation
The company is subject to various legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of its business including product liability,
intellectual property, commercial, environmental and antitrust lawsuits. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these various
proceedings. Although considerable uncertainty exists, management does not anticipate that the ultimate disposition of these
matters will have a material adverse effect on the company's results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity.
However, the ultimate liabilities could be material to results of operations in the period recognized.

PFOA
DuPont used PFOA (collectively, perfluorooctanoic acids and its salts, including the ammonium salt), as a processing aid to
manufacture some fluoropolymer resins at various sites around the world including its Washington Works plant in West Virginia.
At December 31, 2016, DuPont has an accrual balance of $117 related to the PFOA matters discussed below. Pursuant to the
Separation Agreement discussed in Note 3, the company is indemnified by Chemours for the PFOA matters discussed below. As
a result, the company has recorded an indemnification asset of $117 corresponding to the accrual balance as of December 31,
2016.

Since 2006, DuPont has undertaken obligations under agreements with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including
a 2009 consent decree under the Safe Drinking Water Act (the order), and voluntary commitments to the New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). These obligations and voluntary commitments include surveying, sampling and testing
drinking water in and around certain company sites and offering treatment or an alternative supply of drinking water if tests indicate
the presence of PFOA in drinking water at or greater than the national health advisory level, even if provisional, as established
from time to time by EPA. A provisional health advisory level was set in 2009 at 0.4 parts per billion (ppb) for PFOA in drinking
water considering episodic exposure. In May 2016, EPA announced a health advisory level of 0.07 ppb for PFOA in drinking
water considering lifetime versus episodic exposure. In January 2017, EPA announced it had amended the order to include
Chemours, and to make the new health advisory level the trigger for additional actions by the companies, thus expanding the
obligations to the EPA beyond the previously established testing and water supply commitments around the Washington Works
facility. The company's accrual balance of $17 at December 31, 2016 related to these obligations and voluntary commitments
reflects the impacts of the new health advisory level and expanded obligations under the amended order.

Drinking Water Actions
In August 2001, a class action, captioned Leach v DuPont, was filed in West Virginia state court alleging that residents living near
the Washington Works facility had suffered, or may suffer, deleterious health effects from exposure to PFOA in drinking water.

DuPont and attorneys for the class reached a settlement in 2004 that binds about 80,000 residents. In 2005, DuPont paid the
plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses of $23 and made a payment of $70, which class counsel designated to fund a community
health project. The company funded a series of health studies which were completed in October 2012 by an independent science
panel of experts (the C8 Science Panel). The studies were conducted in communities exposed to PFOA to evaluate available
scientific evidence on whether any probable link exists, as defined in the settlement agreement, between exposure to PFOA and
human disease.

The C8 Science Panel found probable links, as defined in the settlement agreement, between exposure to PFOA and pregnancy-
induced hypertension, including preeclampsia; kidney cancer; testicular cancer; thyroid disease; ulcerative colitis; and diagnosed
high cholesterol.

In May 2013, a panel of three independent medical doctors released its initial recommendations for screening and diagnostic
testing of eligible class members. In September 2014, the medical panel recommended follow-up screening and diagnostic testing
three years after initial testing, based on individual results. The medical panel has not communicated its anticipated schedule for
completion of its protocol. The company is obligated to fund up to $235 for a medical monitoring program for eligible class
members and, in addition, administrative costs associated with the program, including class counsel fees. In January 2012, the
company established and put $1 into an escrow account to fund medical monitoring as required by the settlement agreement.
Under the settlement agreement, the balance in the escrow amount must be at least $0.5; as a result, transfers of additional funds
may be required periodically. The court appointed Director of Medical Monitoring has established the program to implement the
medical panel's recommendations and the registration process, as well as eligibility screening, is ongoing. Diagnostic screening
and testing has begun and associated payments to service providers are being disbursed from the escrow account; at December 31,
2016, less than $1 has been disbursed. While it is probable that the company will incur liabilities related to funding the medical
monitoring program, such liabilities cannot be reasonably estimated due to uncertainties surrounding the level of participation by
eligible class members and the scope of testing.

In addition, under the settlement agreement, the company must continue to provide water treatment designed to reduce the level
of PFOA in water to six area water districts, including the Little Hocking Water Association (LHWA), and private well users.

Multi-District Litigation
Leach class members may pursue personal injury claims against DuPont only for the six human diseases for which the C8 Science
Panel determined a probable link exists. At December 31, 2016 there were about 3,550 lawsuits, of which about 30 allege wrongful
death, pending in various federal and state courts in Ohio and West Virginia. These lawsuits are consolidated in multi-district
litigation (MDL) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio (the Court). The approximate number of lawsuits
pending in the MDL remained constant year-over-year. However, the company has refined the number pending at December 31,
2016, in connection with updates to the table below. DuPont, through Chemours, denies the allegations in these lawsuits and is
defending itself vigorously.

The table below approximates the number of lawsuits based on primary alleged disease.

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

In 2014, six cases from the MDL were selected for individual trial. In 2016, three of these cases, two kidney cancer and one
ulcerative colitis, were settled for amounts immaterial individually and in the aggregate, and one case was voluntarily withdrawn
by plaintiffs. The other two matters, (Barlett v DuPont, kidney cancer, and Freeman v DuPont, testicular cancer) were tried to jury
verdicts in 2015 and 2016, respectively. The Bartlett jury awarded compensatory damages of $1.6 and no punitive damages. The
company has appealed the Bartlett verdict to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (the Sixth Circuit) which is expected
to issue a ruling in the first half of 2017. In 2016, the Freeman jury awarded compensatory damages of $5.1 and $0.5 in punitive
damages and attorneys’ fees. Pending a post-trial motion, the company will appeal to the Sixth Circuit.

In January 2016, the Court determined that 40 cases asserting cancer claims, to be identified by plaintiffs' attorneys, would be
scheduled for trial through year-end 2017. In the first two matters selected for trial, (Vigneron v DuPont and Moody v DuPont)
plaintiffs make testicular cancer claims. After a fourth quarter 2016 trial, the Vigneron jury awarded compensatory damages of
$2 and punitive damages of $10.5. Pending post-trial motions, the company will appeal to the Sixth Circuit. The Moody trial
began in January 2017 and the jury is expected to render a verdict in the first quarter 2017. The remaining 38 trials are scheduled
to begin each week starting in May 2017.

In 2016, the Court ordered the parties to participate in confidential, nonbinding mediation regarding global resolution of the MDL.
This process continues.

At December 31, 2016, the company has established an accrual of $100 related to the MDL, representing the company’s estimate
of the low end of the range of potential loss. While DuPont could incur liabilities in excess of the amount accrued, the upper end
of the range of such loss cannot be reasonably estimated. The range of possible loss is unpredictable and involves significant
uncertainty due to the uniqueness of individual plaintiff's claims and the company's defenses as to potential liability and damages
on an individual claims basis, and the timing and outcome of the appellate process, among other factors. This type of litigation
could take place over many years and interim results do not predict the final outcomes of cases.

Additional Actions
In the first quarter 2016, a confidential settlement was reached in the Ohio action brought by the LHWA claiming, “imminent and
substantial endangerment to health and or the environment” under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) in
addition to general claims of PFOA contamination of drinking water. The cost of the settlement was paid by Chemours.

Under the Separation Agreement, all liabilities associated with the PFOA matters discussed above, including liabilities related tod
judgments, including punitive damages, or settlements associated with the MDL, are subject to indemnification by Chemours.

Environmental
The company is also subject to contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require the
company to take further action to correct the effects on the environment of prior disposal practices or releases of chemical or
petroleum substances by the company or other parties. The company accrues for environmental remediation activities consistent
with the policy set forth in Note 1. Much of this liability results from the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act (CERCLA, often referred to as Superfund), RCRA and similar state and global laws. These laws require the
company to undertake certain investigative, remediation and restoration activities at sites where the company conducts or once
conducted operations or at sites where company-generated waste was disposed. The accrual also includes estimated costs related
to a number of sites identified by the company for which it is probable that environmental remediation will be required, but which
are not currently the subject of enforcement activities.

Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site. These activities, and their associated costs, depend
on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, diverse regulatory agencies and enforcement policies,
as well as the presence or absence of potentially responsible parties. At December 31, 2016, the Consolidated Balance Sheet
included a liability of $457, relating to these matters and, in management's opinion, is appropriate based on existing facts and
circumstances. The average time frame, over which the accrued or presently unrecognized amounts may be paid, based on past
history, is estimated to be 15-20 years. Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to these costs and, under adverse changes in
circumstances, the potential liability may range up to $900 above the amount accrued as of December 31, 2016. Pursuant to the
Separation Agreement discussed in Note 3, the company is indemnified by Chemours for certain environmental matters, included
in the liability of $457, that have an estimated liability of $250 as of December 31, 2016 and a potential exposure that ranges up
to approximately $500 above the amount accrued. As such, the company has recorded an indemnification asset of $250
corresponding to the company's accrual balance related to these matters at December 31, 2016.

16. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Share Repurchase Program
2015 Share Buyback Plan
In the first quarter 2015, DuPont announced its intention to buy back shares of about $4,000 using the distribution proceeds received
from Chemours. In connection with the completion of the spin-off of Chemours, the Board of Directors authorized the use of the
distribution proceeds to buy back shares of the company's common stock as follows: $2,000 to be purchased and retired by
December 31, 2015, which was completed during 2015, with the remainder to be purchased and retired by December 31, 2016.
There were no share repurchases under this plan in the first and second quarters of 2016. The company had limited opportunity
to repurchase shares in 2016, primarily due to the planned merger with Dow. However, during the second half of 2016, the companya
purchased and retired 13.2 million shares in the open market for a total cost of $916. As of December 31, 2016, in aggregate, the
company has paid $2,916 and received and retired 48.2 million shares. As of January 1, 2017, the authorization under this buyback
program has expired.

2014 Share Buyback Plan
In January 2014, the company's Board of Directors authorized a $5,000 share buyback plan that replaced the 2011 plan. During
2014, the company purchased and retired 30.1 million shares for $2,000 under two separate accelerated share repurchase (ASR)
agreements as well as open market purchases. During 2015, the company repurchased and retired 4.6 million shares in the open
market for a total cost of $353. There were no share repurchases under this plan during 2016. As of December 31, 2016, in
aggregate, the company has purchased 34.7 million shares at a total cost of $2,353 under the plan. As a result, $2,647 buyback
authority remains under this program. There is no required completion date for the remaining stock purchases under the 2014
plan.

Common stock held in treasury is recorded at cost. When retired, the excess of the cost of treasury stock over its par value is
allocated between reinvested earnings and additional paid-in capital.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of common stock share activity for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014:

The currency translation loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 is primarily driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar (USD) against the European
Euro (EUR) partially offset by the weakening of the USD against the Brazilian real (BRL). The currency translation loss for the years ended December 31,
2015 and 2014 is driven by the strengthening USD against primarily the EUR and BRL. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the increase over prior
year is also due to changes in certain foreign entity's functional currency as described in Note 1.

17. LONG-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The company offers various long-term benefits to its employees. Where permitted by applicable law, the company reserves the
right to change, modify or discontinue the plans.

Defined Benefit Pensions
The company has both funded and unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering a majority of the U.S.
employees. The benefits under these plans are based primarily on years of service and employees' pay near retirement. In November
2016, the company announced changes to the U.S. pension plans. The company will freeze the pay and service amounts used to
calculate pension benefits for active employees who participate in the U.S. pension plans at the earlier of the effective date of the
first of the Intended Business Separations or November 30, 2018 (the Effective Date). See Note 2 for further discussion of the
Intended Business Separations. Therefore, as of the Effective Date, active employees in the U.S. will not accrue additional benefits
for future service and eligible compensation received. These changes resulted in a $527 decline in the projected benefit obligation,
which is reflected in actuarial loss (gain) in the below table, and recognition of a $25 pre-tax curtailment gain during the fourth
quarter of 2016. The decline in the projected benefit obligation is primarily due to the decrease in expected future compensation.
Most employees hired on or after January 1, 2007 are not eligible to participate in the U.S. defined benefit pension plans.

The company's funding policy is consistent with the funding requirements of federal laws and regulations. Pension coverage for
employees of the company's non-U.S. consolidated subsidiaries is provided, to the extent deemed appropriate, through separate
plans. Obligations under such plans are funded by depositing funds with trustees, covered by insurance contracts, or remain
unfunded.

The workforce reductions in 2016 related to the 2016 global cost savings and restructuring plan triggered curtailments for certain
of the company's pension plans, including the principal U.S. pension plan. For the principal U.S. pension plan, the company
recorded curtailment losses of $63 during 2016 driven by the changes in the benefit obligation based on the demographics of the
terminated positions partially offset by accelerated recognition of a portion of the prior service benefit.

In the fourth quarter 2016, about $550 of lump-sum payments were made from the principal U.S. pension plan trust fund to a
group of separated, vested plan participants who were extended a limited-time opportunity and voluntarily elected to receive their
pension benefits in a single lump-sum payment. Since the company recognizes pension settlements only when the lump-sum
payments exceed the sum of the plan's service and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost for the year, these lump-mm
sum payments did not result in the recognition of a pension settlement charge.

Other Post Employment Benefits
The parent company and certain subsidiaries provide medical, dental and life insurance benefits to pensioners and survivors. The
associated plans for retiree benefits are unfunded and the cost of the approved claims is paid from company funds. Essentially all
of the cost and liabilities for these retiree benefit plans are attributable to the U.S. benefit plans. The non-Medicare eligible retiree
medical plan is contributory with pensioners and survivors' contributions adjusted annually to achieve a 50/50 target sharing of
cost increases between the company and pensioners and survivors. In addition, limits are applied to the company's portion of the
retiree medical cost coverage. For Medicare eligible pensioners and survivors, the company provides a company-funded Health
Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA). In November 2016, the company announced that eligible employees who will be under
the age of 50 at the Effective Date, as defined above, will not receive post-retirement medical, dental and life insurance benefits.
As a result of these changes, the company recognized a pre-tax curtailment gain of $357 during the fourth quarter of 2016.
Beginning January 1, 2015, eligible employees who retire on and after that date will receive the same life insurance benefit payment,
regardless of age. The majority of U.S. employees hired on or after January 1, 2007 are not eligible to participate in the post-
retirement medical, dental and life insurance plans.

As a result of the workforce reductions noted above, curtailments were triggered for the company’s other post employment benefit
plans. The company recorded curtailment gains of $35 during the year ended December 31, 2016. The curtailment gains were
driven by accelerated recognition of a portion of the prior service benefit partially offset by the change in the benefit obligation
based on the demographics of the terminated positions.

The company also provides disability benefits to employees. Employee disability benefit plans are insured in many countries.
However, primarily in the U.S., such plans are generally self-insured. Obligations and expenses for self-insured plans are reflected
in the figures below.

E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share)

For determining U.S. pension plans' net periodic benefit costs, the discount rate, expected return on plan assets and the rate of
compensation increase were 4.04 percent, 8.00 percent and 4.15 percent for 2016.

For determining U.S. pension plans' net periodic benefit costs, the discount rate, expected return on plan assets and the rate of
compensation increase were 4.29 percent, 8.50 percent and 4.20 percent for 2015.

For determining U.S. pension plans' net periodic benefit costs, the discount rate, expected return on plan assets and the rate of
compensation increase were 4.90 percent, 8.75 percent and 4.50 percent for 2014.

In the U.S., the discount rate is developed by matching the expected cash flow of the benefit plans to a yield curve constructed
from a portfolio of high quality fixed-income instruments provided by the plan's actuary as of the measurement date. Effective in
2016, the company changed its method to estimate the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit cost for the
U.S. benefit plans. The company utilized a full yield curve approach in the estimation of service and interest rate components by
applying specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash
flows. For non-U.S. benefit plans, the company utilizes prevailing long-term high quality corporate bond indices to determine
the discount rate applicable to each country at the measurement date.

The long-term rate of return on assets in the U.S. was selected from within the reasonable range of rates determined by historical
real returns (net of inflation) for the asset classes covered by the investment policy, expected performance, and projections of
inflation over the long-term period during which benefits are payable to plan participants. Consistent with prior years, the long-
term rate of return on plan assets in the U.S. reflects the asset allocation of the plan and the effect of the company's active management
of the plan's assets. For non-U.S. plans, assumptions reflect economic assumptions applicable to each country.

Plan Assets
All pension plan assets in the U.S. are invested through a single master trust fund. The strategic asset allocation for this trust fund
is approved by management. The general principles guiding U.S. pension asset investment policies are those embodied in the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). These principles include discharging the company's investment
responsibilities for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and in accordance with the "prudent expert" standard and other ERISA
rules and regulations. The company establishes strategic asset allocation percentage targets and appropriate benchmarks for
significant asset classes with the aim of achieving a prudent balance between return and risk. Strategic asset allocations in other
countries are selected in accordance with the laws and practices of those countries. Where appropriate, asset liability studies are
utilized in this process. U.S. plan assets and a portion of non-U.S. plan assets are managed by investment professionals employed
by the company. The remaining assets are managed by professional investment firms unrelated to the company. The company's
pension investment professionals have discretion to manage the assets within established asset allocation ranges approved by
management of the company. Additionally, pension trust funds are permitted to enter into certain contractual arrangements generally
described as "derivatives". Derivatives are primarily used to reduce specific market risks, hedge currency and adjust portfolio
duration and asset allocation in a cost-effective manner.

The weighted-average target allocation for plan assets of the company's U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans is summarized as follows:

Global equity securities include varying market capitalization levels. U.S. equity investments are primarily large-cap companies.
Global fixed income investments include corporate-issued, government-issued and asset-backed securities. Corporate debt
investments include a range of credit risk and industry diversification. U.S. fixed income investments are weighted heavier thanaa
non-U.S fixed income securities. Other investments include cash and cash equivalents, hedge funds, real estate and private market
securities such as interests in private equity and venture capital partnerships.

Fair value calculations may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the
company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different
methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value
measurement at the reporting date.

its other post employment benefit plans, respectively, in 2016. The company contributed $164, $144, and $237 to its pension
plans other than the principal U.S. pension plan, its remaining plans with no plan assets and its other post employment benefitt
plans, respectively, in 2015. In 2017, the company expects to contribute $95 to its pension plans other than the principal U.S.
pension plan, $85 to its remaining plans with no plan assets, and $275 to its other post employment benefit plans.

Defined Contribution Plan
The company provides defined contribution benefits to its employees. The most significant is the Retirement Savings Plan (the
Plan), which covers all U.S. full-service employees. This Plan includes a non-leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(ESOP). Employees are not required to participate in the ESOP and those who do are free to diversify out of the ESOP. The
purpose of the Plan is to provide retirement savings benefits for employees and to provide employees an opportunity to become
stockholders of the company. The Plan is a tax qualified contributory profit sharing plan, with cash or deferred arrangement and
any eligible employee of the company may participate. Currently, the company contributes 100 percent of the first 6 percent of
the employee's contribution election and also contributes 3 percent of each eligible employee's eligible compensation regardless
of the employee's contribution.

The company's contributions to the Plan were $187, $219 and $262 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014,
respectively. The company's matching contributions vest immediately upon contribution. The 3 percent nonmatching company
contribution vests after employees complete three years of service. In addition, the company made contributions to other defined
contribution plans of $33, $57 and $66 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Included in the
company's contributions are amounts related to discontinued operations of $32 and $57 for the years ended December 31, 2015
and 2014, respectively. The company expects to contribute about the same amount as 2016 to its defined contribution plans in
2017.

18. COMPENSATION PLANS
The total stock-based compensation cost included in continuing operations within the Consolidated Income Statements was $119,
$128 and $136 for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The income tax benefits related to stock-based compensation arrangements
were $39, $42 and $45 for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The company's Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective March 14, 2016, (EIP), provides for equity-based and
cash incentive awards to certain employees, directors, and consultants. Under the amended EIP, the maximum number of shares
reserved for the grant or settlement of awards is 110 million shares, provided that each share in excess of 30 million that is issued
with respect to any award that is not an option or stock appreciation right will be counted against the 110 million share limit as
four and one-half shares. At December 31, 2016, approximately 37 million shares were authorized for future grants under the EIP. PP
The company satisfies stock option exercises and vesting of time-vested restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance-based
restricted stock units (PSUs) with newly issued shares of DuPont common stock.

The company's Compensation Committee determines the long-term incentive mix, including stock options, RSUs and PSUs and
may authorize new grants annually.

Stock Options
The exercise price of shares subject to option is equal to the market price of the company's stock on the date of grant. All options
vest serially over a three-year period. Stock option awards granted between 2009 and 2015 expire seven years after the grant date
and options granted in 2016 expire ten years after the grant date. The plan allows retirement-eligible employees to retain any
granted awards upon retirement provided the employee has rendered at least six months of service following grant date.

(Dollars in millions, except per share)

For purposes of determining the fair value of stock options awards, the company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model and
the assumptions set forth in the table below. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted in 2016, 2015 and 2014
was $13.40, $11.57 and $13.68, respectively.

The company determines the dividend yield by dividing the current annual dividend on the company's stock by the option exercise
price. A historical daily measurement of volatility is determined based on the expected life of the option granted. The risk-free
interest rate is determined by reference to the yield on an outstanding U.S. Treasury note with a term equal to the expected life of
the option granted. Expected life is determined by reference to the company's historical experience.

Stock option awards as of December 31, 2016, and changes during the year then ended were as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic values in the table above represent the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the company's
closing stock price on the last trading day of 2016 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that
would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in-the-money options at year end. This
amount changes based on the fair market value of the company's stock. Total intrinsic value of options exercised for 2016, 2015
and 2014 were $86, $160 and $219, respectively. In 2016, the company realized a tax benefit of $28 from options exercised.

As of December 31, 2016, $19 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over
a weighted-average period of 1.52 years.

RSUs and PSUs
The company issues RSUs that serially vest over a three-year period and, upon vesting, convert one-for-one to DuPont common
stock. A retirement-eligible employee retains any granted awards upon retirement provided the employee has rendered at least six
months of service following the grant date. Additional RSUs are also granted periodically to key senior management employees.
These RSUs generally vest over periods ranging from two to five years. The fair value of all stock-settled RSUs is based upon the
market price of the underlying common stock as of the grant date.

F-49

E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share)

The company also grants PSUs to senior leadership. In 2016, there were 365,177 PSUs granted. Vesting for PSUs granted in 2016
is based upon total shareholder return (TSR) relative to peer companies. Vesting for PSUs granted in 2015 is equally based upon
change in operating net income relative to target and TSR relative to peer companies. Operating net income is net income
attributable to DuPont excluding income from discontinued operations after taxes, significant after tax benefits (charges), and
non-operating pension and OPEB costs. Vesting for PSUs granted in 2014 is equally based upon corporate revenue growth relative
to peer companies and TSR relative to peer companies. Performance and payouts are determined independently for each metric.
The actual award, delivered as DuPont common stock, can range from zero percent to 200 percent of the original grant. The
weighted-average grant-date fair value of the PSUs granted in 2016, subject to the TSR metric, was $56.15, and estimated using
a Monte Carlo simulation. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the PSUs, subject to the revenue metric, was based upon
the market price of the underlying common stock as of the grant date.

Non-vested awards of RSUs and PSUs as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 are shown below. The weighted-average grant-date fair
value of RSUs and PSUs granted during 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $59.50, $71.66 and $64.64, respectively.

As of December 31, 2016, there was $75 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested awards. That
cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.80 years. The total fair value of stock units vested during
2016, 2015 and 2014 was $83, $64 and $75, respectively.

Other Cash-based Awards
Cash awards under the EIP plan may be granted to employees who have contributed most to the company's success, with
consideration being given to the ability to succeed to more important managerial responsibility. Such awards resulted in
compensation expense of $53, $31 and $34 for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively included in income from continuing operations
within the Consolidated Financial Statements. The amounts of the awards are dependent on company earnings and are subject to
maximum limits as defined under the governing plans.

In addition, the company has other variable compensation plans under which cash awards may be granted. These plans include
the company's regional and local variable compensation plans and Pioneer's Annual Reward Program. Such awards resulted in
compensation expense of $248, $150 and $137 for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, included in income from continuing
operations within the Consolidated Financial Statements.

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
S
O j
Objectives and Strategies for Holding Derivative Instruments
i
In the ordinary course of business, the company enters into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce its exposure to foreign
currency, interest rate and commodity price risks. The company has established a variety of derivative programs to be utilized
for financial risk management. These programs reflect varying levels of exposure coverage and time horizons based on an
assessment of risk.

Derivative programs have procedures and controls and are approved by the Corporate Financial Risk Management Committee,
consistent with the company's financial risk management policies and guidelines. Derivative instruments used are forwards,
options, futures and swaps. The company has not designated any nonderivatives as hedging instruments.

The company's financial risk management procedures also address counterparty credit approval, limits and routine exposure
monitoring and reporting. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major financial institutions and major
commodity exchanges. The company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The company
utilizes collateral support annex agreements with certain counterparties to limit its exposure to credit losses. The company's
derivative assets and liabilities are reported on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The company anticipates
performance by counterparties to these contracts and therefore no material loss is expected. Market and counterparty credit risks
associated with these instruments are regularly reported to management.

The notional amounts of the company's derivative instruments were as follows:

Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign Currency Risk
The company's objective in managing exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility
associated with foreign currency rate changes. Accordingly, the company enters into various contracts that change in value as
foreign exchange rates change to protect the value of its existing foreign currency-denominated assets, liabilities, commitments
and cash flows.

The company routinely uses forward exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-
denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. The primary business objective of this hedging program is to maintain
an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes,
net of related tax effects, are minimized. The company also uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset a portion of the
company's exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated revenues so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes
in the USD value of the related foreign currency-denominated revenues. The objective of the hedge program is to reduce earnings
and cash flow volatility related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Commodity Price Risk
Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk management programs serve to reduce exposure to price fluctuations on purchases of inventory such as
corn, soybeans and soybean meal. The company enters into over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivative commodity
instruments to hedge the commodity price risk associated with agricultural commodity exposures.

CCash Flow Hedges
FForeign Currency Contracts
The company uses foreign currency exchange instruments such as forwards and options to offset a portion of the company's
exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated revenues so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the USD
value of the related foreign currency-denominated revenues. In addition, the company occasionally uses forward exchange contracts
to offset a portion of the company’s exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated transactions such as capital expenditures.

Commodity Contracts
The company enters into over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivative commodity instruments, including options, futures and
swaps, to hedge the commodity price risk associated with agriculture commodity exposures.

While each risk management program has a different time maturity period, most programs currently do not extend beyond the
next two-year period. Cash flow hedge results are reclassified into earnings during the same period in which the related exposure
impacts earnings. Reclassifications are made sooner if it appears that a forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring. The
following table summarizes the after-tax effect of cash flow hedges on accumulated other comprehensive loss for the
years ended

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships
FForeign Currency Contracts
The company routinely uses forward exchange contracts to reduce its net exposure, by currency, related to foreign currency-
denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes
are minimized. The netting of such exposures precludes the use of hedge accounting; however, the required revaluation of the
forward contracts and the associated foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities intends to achieve a minimal
earnings impact, after taxes. The company also uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset a portion of the company's
exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated revenues so that gains and losses on the contracts offset changes in the USD
value of the related foreign currency-denominated revenues.

Commodity Contracts
The company utilizes options, futures and swaps that are not designated as hedging instruments to reduce exposure to commodity
price fluctuations on purchases of inventory such as corn, soybeans and soybean meal.

Held-to-maturity investments are reported at amortized cost.

The estimated fair value of the company's cash equivalents, which approximates carrying value as of December 31, 2016 and
2015, was determined using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 measurements were based on
observed net asset values and Level 2 measurements were based on current interest rates for similar investments with comparable
credit risk and time to maturity.

The estimated fair value of the held-to-maturity securities, which approximates carrying value as of December 31, 2016 and 2015,
was determined using Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, as described below. Level 2 measurements were based on
current interest rates for similar investments with comparable credit risk and time to maturity. The carrying value approximates
fair value due to the short-term nature of the investments.

The estimated fair value of the available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2015 was determined using Level 1 inputs within
the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 measurements were based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and
liabilities. The available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2015 were held by certain foreign subsidiaries in which the USD
is not the functional currency. The fluctuations in foreign exchange were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss withint
the Consolidated Statements of Equity. These fluctuations were subsequently reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive
loss to earnings in the period in which the marketable securities were sold and the gains and losses on these securities offset at
portion of the foreign exchange fluctuations in earnings for the company.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This document includes information that does not conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and is considered non-GAAP measures. These measures include the
company’s earnings per share on an operating earnings basis, which excludes signiﬁcant items and non-operating pension and other post employment beneﬁt costs (operating EPS), total
segment operating earnings, and operating costs and corporate expenses on an operating earnings basis. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and
evaluating the performance of the company’s segments, including allocating resources and evaluating incentive compensation. Management believes that these non-GAAP measurements
are meaningful to investors as they provide insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the company and provide a more useful comparison of year-over-year results. From a liquidity
perspective, management uses free cash ﬂow which is deﬁned as cash provided/used by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Free cash ﬂow is useful to
investors and management to evaluate the company’s cash ﬂow and ﬁnancial performance, and is an integral ﬁnancial measure used in the company’s ﬁnancial planning process. These
non-GAAP measurements supplement our GAAP disclosures and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. This data should be read in conjunction with
previously published company reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. These reports are available on the Investor Center of www.dupont.com under Filings and Reports. Reconciliations of
non-GAAP measures to GAAP are also included below.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and ﬁnancial performance and ﬁnancial condition, and often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,”
“believe,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “would,” “target,” similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as
statements about the consummation of the proposed merger of equals transaction with The Dow Chemical Company (the “DowDuPont Merger”) and the proposed transaction with FMC Corporation (“FMC”) in which, among
other things, FMC will acquire a portion of DuPont’s crop protection business (the “Divested Ag Business”) and DuPont will acquire substantially all of FMC’s Health and Nutrition business (the “Acquired H&N Business”) and the
anticipated beneﬁts thereof. These and other forward-looking statements, including the failure to consummate the DowDuPont Merger or the proposed transaction or to make or take any ﬁling or other action required to
consummate such transactions in a timely manner or at all, are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events which may not be realized. Forward-looking statements
also involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the company’s control. Some of the important factors that could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking
statements are: ﬂuctuations in energy and raw material prices; failure to develop and market new products and optimally manage product life cycles; ability to respond to market acceptance, rules, regulations and policies affecting
products based on biotechnology and, in general, for products for the agriculture industry; outcome of signiﬁcant litigation and environmental matters, including realization of associated indemniﬁcation assets, if any; failure to
appropriately manage process safety and product stewardship issues; changes in laws and regulations or political conditions; global economic and capital markets conditions, such as inﬂation, interest and currency exchange rates;
business or supply disruptions; security threats, such as acts of sabotage, terrorism or war, natural disasters and weather events and patterns which could affect demand as well as availability of products for the agriculture industry;
ability to protect and enforce the company’s intellectual property rights; successful integration of acquired businesses and separation of underperforming or non-strategic assets or businesses; and risks related to the DowDuPont
Merger Transaction and the proposed transaction. These risks include, but are not limited to, (i) the completion of the DowDuPont Merger and the proposed transaction on anticipated terms and timing, including obtaining
regulatory approvals, anticipated tax treatment, unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, ﬁnancial condition, losses, future prospects, business
and management strategies for the management, expansion and growth of the new combined company’s or the Acquired H&N Business, and other conditions to the completion of the DowDuPont Merger and the proposed
transaction, (ii) the possibility that the DowDuPont Merger and the proposed transaction may not close, including because the various approvals, authorizations and declarations of non-objections from certain regulatory and
governmental authorities with respect to either the DowDuPont Merger or the proposed transaction may not be obtained, on a timely basis or otherwise, including that these regulatory or governmental authorities may not approve
of FMC as an acceptable purchaser of the Divested Ag Business in connection with the proposed transaction, or may impose conditions on the granting of the various approvals, authorizations and declarations of non-objections,
including requiring the respective Dow, DuPont and FMC businesses, including the Acquired H&N Business (in the case of DuPont) and the Divested Ag Business (in the case of FMC), to divest certain assets if necessary to obtain
certain regulatory approvals or otherwise limiting the ability of the combined company to integrate parts of the Dow and DuPont businesses and/or the DuPont and Health and Nutrition businesses, (iii) the ability of DuPont to
integrate the Acquired H&N Business successfully and to achieve anticipated synergies, (iv) potential litigation or regulatory actions relating to the DowDuPont Merger or the proposed transaction that could be instituted against
DuPont or its directors, (v) the risk that disruptions from the DowDuPont Merger or the proposed transaction will harm DuPont’s business, including current plans and operations, (vi) the ability of DuPont to retain and hire key
personnel, (vii) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the DowDuPont Merger or the proposed transaction, (viii) uncertainty as to the long-term value
of DowDuPont common stock, (ix) continued availability of capital and ﬁnancing and rating agency actions, (x) legislative, regulatory and economic developments, (xi) potential business uncertainty, including changes to existing
business relationships, during the pendency of the DowDuPont Merger or the proposed transaction that could affect DuPont’s ﬁnancial performance, (xii) certain restrictions during the pendency of the DowDuPont Merger or the
proposed transaction that may impact DuPont’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions and (xiii) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism
or outbreak of war or hostilities, as well as management’s response to any of the aforementioned factors. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the DowDuPont Merger or the proposed transaction, are or will be
more fully discussed in (1) DuPont’s most recently ﬁled Form 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K reports, (2) DuPont’s subsequently ﬁled Form 10-K and 10-Q reports and (3) the joint proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration State-
ment ﬁled with the SEC in connection with the DowDuPont Merger. Unlisted factors may present signiﬁcant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as
compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, ﬁnancial loss, legal liability to third parties, and similar risks, any of which could
have a material adverse effect on DuPont’s consolidated ﬁnancial condition, results of operations, credit rating or liquidity. DuPont assumes no obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.
