The Chemours Company Announces Launch of Senior Notes Offering

WILMINGTON, Del., April 23, 2015 – The Chemours Company (“Chemours”) announced today the offering, subject to market and other conditions, of approximately $2,125 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured dollar-denominated Notes and €350 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured Euro-denominated Notes (together, the “Notes”). Chemours is a wholly owned subsidiary of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”).

The Notes offering is being launched by Chemours in anticipation of the DuPont proposed pro rata distribution of Chemours common stock to its stockholders (the “Separation”), and of Chemours’ expected distribution of approximately $4,000 million to DuPont prior to the Separation, as more fully described in Chemours’ information statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to its amended Registration Statement on Form 10 filed by Chemours with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 21, 2015.

The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities law, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer or sale would be unlawful.

After the Separation from DuPont, Chemours will be an independent, publicly traded company and a global provider of performance chemicals through three reporting segments: Titanium Technologies, Fluoroproducts and Chemical Solutions. Chemours delivers customized solutions with a wide range of industrial and specialty chemical products for markets including plastics and coatings, refrigeration and air conditioning, general industrial, mining and oil refining. Principal products include titanium dioxide, refrigerants, industrial fluoropolymer resins and a portfolio of industrial chemicals including sodium cyanide and sulfuric acid. Chemours, based in Wilmington, Delaware, has approximately 9,100 employees and 37 production facilities in 12 countries, and serves more than 5,000 customers worldwide.

DuPont (NYSE: DD) has been bringing world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace in the form of innovative products, materials, and services since 1802. The company believes that by collaborating with customers, governments, NGOs, and thought leaders we can help find solutions to such global challenges as providing enough healthy food for people everywhere, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and protecting life and the environment.
