forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements and other estimates are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events which may not be accurate or
realized. Forward-looking statements and other estimates also involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Corteva Agriscience's control.
While the list of factors presented below is 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 Corteva
Agriscience's business, results of operations and financial condition. Some of the important factors that could cause Corteva Agriscience's actual results to

dependence on third parties with respect to certain of its raw materials or licenses and commercialization; (vii) costs of complying with evolving regulatory
requirements and the effect of actual or alleged violations of environmental laws or permit requirements; (viii) effect of the degree of public understanding
and acceptance or perceived public acceptance of Corteva Agriscience's biotechnology and other agricultural products; (ix) effect of changes in agricultural
and related policies of governments and international organizations; (x) effect of industrial espionage and other disruptions to Corteva Agriscience's supply
chain, information technology or network systems; (xi) competitor's establishment of an intermediary platform for distribution of Corteva Agriscience's
products; (xii) effect of volatility in Corteva Agriscience's input costs; (xiii) failure to raise capital through the capital markets or short-term borrowings on
terms acceptable to Corteva Agriscience; (xiv) failure of Corteva Agriscience's customers to pay their debts to Corteva Agriscience, including customer
financing programs; (xv) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the internal reorganizations taken by DowDuPont Inc. in connection with the spin-off
of Corteva, Inc., including failure to benefit from significant cost synergies; (xvi) risks related to the indemnification obligations of legacy EID liabilities in
connection with the separation of Corteva, Inc.; (xvii) increases in pension and other post-employment benefit plan funding obligations; (xviii) effect of
compliance with laws and requirements and adverse judgments on litigation; (xix) risks related to Corteva Agriscience's global operations; (xx) effect of
climate change and unpredictable seasonal and weather factors; (xxi) effect of counterfeit products; (xxii) failure to effectively manage acquisitions,
divestitures, alliances and other portfolio actions; (xxiii) risks related to non-cash charges from impairment of goodwill or intangible assets; (xxiv) risks
related to the coronavirus ("COVID-19"); (xxv) risks related to oil and commodity markets; and (xxvi) other risks related to the separation of Corteva, Inc.

currently expect to have a material impact on its business. Where, in any forward-looking statement or other estimate, an expectation or belief as to future
results or events is expressed, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of Corteva Agriscience's management and expressed
in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or
accomplished. Corteva Agriscience disclaims and does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, except as required
by applicable law. A detailed discussion of some of the significant risks and uncertainties which may cause results and events to differ materially from such

performance, and, as a result, our ability to generate cash flow from operations and to pay our debt, including our obligations under the notes. Many of
these factors, such as significant weather events, fluctuations in commodity markets, economic and financial conditions in our industry and the global
economy, the impact of tariffs and other legislative or regulatory actions on how we conduct our business or competition and initiatives of our competitors,
are beyond our control. For example, disruptions in economic activity resulting from the outbreak of COVID-19, which first emerged in China and has
expanded globally, may have a material adverse impact on our industry, our supply chain and our workforce. If we do not generate enough cash flow from
operations to satisfy our debt obligations, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as:


·
selling assets;


·
reducing or delaying capital investments;


·
seeking to raise additional capital; or


·
refinancing or restructuring our debt.
Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, including our obligations under the notes, or to obtain alternative
financing, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
As of March 31, 2020, after giving effect to this offering (including the application of the proceeds therefrom), we would have had approximately
$3,599.0 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding indebtedness, $30.0 million of which would have been secured indebtedness.
The notes will not be guaranteed by, and will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of, our subsidiaries. The notes will
also not be guaranteed by our parent company, Corteva, Inc.
The notes will be obligations of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company exclusively and not of any of our subsidiaries, and none of our subsidiaries
will guarantee the notes. Consequently, the notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of any of our subsidiaries. Our rights
and the rights of our creditors to participate in the assets of any of our subsidiaries in the event that such a subsidiary is liquidated or reorganized will be
subject to the prior claims of such subsidiary's creditors.
We derive substantially all of our revenues from our subsidiaries. As a result, our cash flow and our ability to service our debt and other obligations,
including the notes, will depend on the results of operations of our

subsidiaries and upon the ability of our subsidiaries to provide us with cash to pay amounts due on our obligations, including the notes. Our subsidiaries
are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation to make payments on the notes or to make funds available to us for that purpose. In addition,
dividends, loans or other distributions from our subsidiaries to us are dependent upon results of operations of our subsidiaries, may be subject to contractual
and other restrictions, may be subject to tax or other laws limiting our ability to repatriate funds from foreign subsidiaries and may be subject to other
business considerations.
In addition, the notes will not be guaranteed by our parent company, Corteva, Inc.
The notes will be unsecured and, therefore, will be effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness we may incur.
The notes will not be secured by any of our assets. As a result, the notes will be effectively subordinated to any secured debt we or our subsidiaries
may incur to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. We have a committed receivables repurchase facility, which is considered a secured
debt facility whereby our obligations are secured by a pledge of related note receivables. In any liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy or other similar
proceeding, the holders of any of our secured debt and the secured debt of our subsidiaries may assert rights against the assets pledged to secure that debt
in order to receive full payment of their debt before the assets may be used to pay other creditors, including the holders of the notes.
Our credit ratings may not reflect all risks of an investment in the notes and there is no protection in the indenture for holders of the notes in the event
of a ratings downgrade. A downgrade in our credit rating could negatively impact our cost of and ability to access capital.
Our credit ratings are an assessment by rating agencies of our ability to pay our debts when due, but they may not reflect the potential impact of all
risks related to an investment in the notes. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings will generally affect the market value of the
notes. Credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security, and may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the issuing organization in
its sole discretion. We have no obligation to maintain the ratings and neither we nor any underwriter undertakes any obligation to advise holders of notes of
any change in ratings. Each agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's rating.
We cannot assure you that our credit ratings will not be downgraded in the future. A downgrade in our credit ratings could negatively impact our
cost of capital or our ability to effectively execute aspects of our strategy. If we were to be downgraded, it could be difficult for us to raise debt in the

public debt markets and the cost of any new debt could be much higher than our outstanding debt.
The indenture will not limit the amount of unsecured indebtedness that we or our subsidiaries may incur.
The indenture governing the notes will not limit our ability or that of our subsidiaries to incur additional unsecured indebtedness or contain
provisions that would afford holders of the notes protection in the event of a decline in our credit quality or a take-over (other than in the case of a Change
of Control Triggering Event), recapitalization or highly leveraged or similar transaction. Accordingly, we and our subsidiaries could, in the future, enter
into transactions that could increase the amount of indebtedness outstanding at that time or otherwise adversely affect your position in our consolidated
capital structure or our credit ratings. Any increased leverage could harm our business by limiting our available cash and our access to additional capital.
A Change of Control Triggering Event that would require us to repurchase the notes is subject to a number of significant limitations, and certain
change of control events that affect the market price of the notes may not give rise to any obligation to repurchase the notes.
Although the issuer will be required under the indenture governing the notes to make an offer to repurchase the notes of a series upon the occurrence
of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to such series, the

S-6
Table of Contents
circumstances that could constitute a Change of Control Triggering Event are limited in scope and do not include all change of control events that might
affect the market value of the notes. In particular, the issuer is required to repurchase the notes of a series as a result of a change of control only if the notes
of such series are rated below investment grade by each of the ratings agencies during a specified period following such change in control or the
announcement thereof, and such ratings agencies confirm that such downgrade was the result, in whole or in part, of the change of control. We could, in
the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations that would not constitute a change of control under
the notes but that could increase the amount of indebtedness outstanding at such time or otherwise affect our capital structure or the credit ratings of the
notes. As a result, the issuer's obligation to repurchase the notes upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event is limited and may not
preserve the value of the notes in the event of a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, merger or similar transaction. See "Description of Notes--
Change of Control."
We may be unable to purchase the notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.
The terms of the notes will require us to make an offer to repurchase the notes of a series in cash upon the occurrence of a Change of Control
Triggering Event with respect to such series at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on the notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase. The occurrence of a change of control would constitute an event of
default under our revolving credit facilities and therefore could cause us to have to repay amounts outstanding thereunder, and any financing arrangements
we may enter into in the future may also require repayment of amounts outstanding in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event and therefore
limit our ability to fund the repurchase of your notes pursuant to the change of control offer. It is possible that we will not have sufficient funds, or be able
to arrange for additional financing, at the time of the Change of Control Triggering Event to make the required repurchase of notes. If we have insufficient
funds to repurchase all notes that holders tender for purchase pursuant to the change of control offer, and we are unable to raise additional capital, an event
of default would occur under the indenture governing the notes. An event of default could cause any other debt that we may have at that time to become
automatically due, further exacerbating our financial condition and diminishing the value and liquidity of the notes. We cannot assure you that additional
capital would be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. See "Description of Notes--Change of Control."
If an active trading market does not develop for the notes, you may be unable to sell your notes or to sell your notes at a price that you deem sufficient.
Each series of notes will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Although certain of the underwriters have informed us that
they intend to make a market in the notes, such underwriters are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market-making activities at any time without
notice. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that a liquid market for the notes will develop or be maintained. If an active trading market fails to develop or
is not maintained, you may not be able to resell your notes at their fair market value or at all. We do not intend to list the notes on any securities exchange
or any automated dealer quotation system.
No assurance can be given as to the market price for the notes.
If holders of the notes are able to resell their notes, the price they receive will depend on many factors that may vary over time, including:


·
our credit ratings;


·
the number of potential buyers of the notes;


·
our financial performance;


·
the amount of total indebtedness we have outstanding;

·
the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates and credit spreads generally;

S-7
Table of Contents

·
the market for similar securities;


·
the repayment and redemption features of the notes; and


·
the time remaining until the notes mature.
The condition of the financial markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future, which could
have an adverse effect on the market prices of the notes. In general, as market interest rates rise, notes bearing interest at a fixed rate generally decline in
value because the premium, if any, over market interest rates will decline. Consequently, if you purchase notes and market interest rates increase, the
market values of your notes may decline. We cannot predict the future level of market interest rates.
As a result of these and other factors, holders of the notes may be able to sell their notes only at a price below that which they believe to be
appropriate, including a price below the price paid for them.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes, which are expected to be approximately $988.8 million after deducting the underwriting
discounts and the payment of expenses related to the offering, for general corporate purposes, which may include discretionary contributions to our United
States principal pension plan and repayment of other indebtedness.

supplements and replaces, to the extent inconsistent therewith, the description of the general terms and provisions of the EID Debt Securities set forth
under the caption "Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees" in the accompanying prospectus. Although for convenience the 2025 notes and the

Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act").
In this "Description of Notes", references to "we", "our" and "us" refers only to the Company and not any of its subsidiaries.
