Cautionary
Notes
on
Forward-Looking
Statements
This communication 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 transaction and the anticipated benefits thereof. These and other forward-looking statements, including the failure to
consummate the proposed transaction or to make or take any filing or other action required to consummate such transaction on a timely matter 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.
Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, (i) the completion of the proposed transaction on anticipated terms and timing, including
obtaining shareholder and 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 ability of Dow and DuPont to integrate the business 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, (iii) 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, (iv) potential litigation relating to the proposed transaction that could be instituted against Dow, DuPont or their respective directors, (v) the risk that disruptions from
the proposed transaction will harm Dow’s or DuPont’s business, including current plans and operations, (vi) the ability of Dow or DuPont to retain and hire key personnel, (vii)
potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the merger,
(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 merger that could affect Dow’s and/or DuPont’s financial performance,
(xii) certain restrictions during the pendency of the merger that may impact Dow’s or 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 proposed merger, are more fully discussed
in
the joint proxy statement/prospectus included in
the Registration Statement filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed merger. 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. Neither Dow nor DuPont
assumes any 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.

Appendix

Adjusted EBITDA Definition
Adjusted EBITDA, as noted on slide 15 within this presentation, is based on the historical measures of segment profit/loss, EBITDA for Dow
and segment operating earnings for DuPont, reported in each company’s respective 2015 Form 10-K filing. These measures were adjusted
to exclude certain items for Dow and to exclude segment depreciation and amortization for DuPont.
Dow uses EBITDA (which Dow defines as earnings (i.e., “Net Income”) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) as its
measure of profit/loss for segment reporting purposes. EBITDA by operating segment includes all operating items relating to the businesses;
items that principally apply to Dow as a whole are assigned to corporate. Additional information regarding Dow’s operating segments and a
reconciliation of EBITDA to “Income Before Income Taxes” can be found in Note 26 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in
Dow’s 2015
Form 10-K.
As its measure of segment profit/loss, DuPont uses segment operating earnings which DuPont defines as income (loss) from continuing
operations before income taxes excluding significant pre-tax benefits (charges), non-operating pension and other postretirement employee
benefit costs, exchange gains (losses), corporate expenses and interest. Non-operating pension and other postretirement employee
benefit
costs includes all of the components of net periodic benefit cost from continuing operations with the exception of the service cost
component. Additional information related to significant pre-tax benefits (charges) excluded from segment operating earnings and
a
reconciliation of segment operating earnings to income from continuing operations before income taxes is included in Note 22 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements in DuPont’s 2015 Form 10-K.
Specialty Products’ adjusted EBITDA includes costs associated with the cellulosic biofuel facility in Nevada, Iowa, while all
other earnings
and costs associated with DuPont’s non-aligned businesses and pharmaceuticals are excluded from adjusted EBITDA of each segment.
Specialty Products’ adjusted EBITDA includes results of Dow Electronic Materials.
Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of the future performance of the businesses of the combined company after the consummation
of
the mergers or of any intended business separation transaction and does not include the impact of any anticipated cost synergies
or growth
synergies.
