FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This
document contains forward-looking statements which may be identified by their
use of words like plans, expects, will, believes, intends,
estimates, anticipates or other words of similar meaning. All statements
that address expectations or projections about the future, including
statements about the companys 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, are 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 companys control. Some of the important factors
that could cause the companys 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; significant litigation and environmental matters; 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, weather events and natural disasters; ability to protect and enforce
the companys intellectual property rights; successful integration of
acquired businesses and separation of underperforming or non-strategic assets
or businesses and successful completion of the proposed spinoff of the
Performance Chemicals segment including ability to fully realize the expected
benefits of the proposed spinoff. The company undertakes no duty to update
any forward-looking statements as a result of future developments or new
information. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT DuPont has filed a
