Item 8.01                   Other Events

The DuPont Board of Directors has approved changes to the corporate governance structure at The Chemours Company (“Chemours”), following discussions with a wide range of shareholders and further evaluation, including with respect to the recent treatment of governance at spin-off companies in other situations.   As previously announced, DuPont plans to execute the separation of its Performance Chemicals Segment through a tax-free spin-off to shareholders to create Chemours.  The corporate governance changes at Chemours include that:

·                  Chemours’ classified board structure will be submitted to a shareholder vote at Chemours’ first Annual Meeting in 2016.  If the classified structure is not approved by shareholders at that meeting, Chemours would immediately declassify its Board such that all directors would be up for annual election beginning with the 2017 Annual Meeting; and

·                  The ownership threshold for shareholders to call special meetings has been lowered to 25%.

DuPont remains on track to complete the spin-off of Chemours in mid-2015. The spin-off is the latest step in the company’s multi-year strategy to transform DuPont and deliver higher growth and higher value for shareholders.  Additional details regarding the separation and Chemours will be outlined in the registration statement on Form 10 expected to be filed by Chemours at the end of April 2015 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
