N&B Transition Update

The first legal entity “Go-Live” is scheduled for July 1.

On December 15, 2019 DuPont and IFF announced they had reached a definitive agreement to combine the DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences (N&B) business with IFF. N&B remains a part of DuPont until the transaction closes. Pending IFF shareholder approval, regulatory approvals, and customary closing conditions, it is expected that the transaction will close in Q1, 2021.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2020 and anticipated to continue through the fourth quarter of 2020, DuPont will align its legal entities with either DuPont or N&B. To be clear, until the closing of the transaction, N&B continues to be a business of DuPont regardless of any changes resulting from the process to prepare N&B for separation.

But what are legal entities actually? And how might legal entity changes impact employees?

What is a Legal Entity?

As the name implies, legal entities are defined essentially as entities the law recognizes as having the right to do the things businesses do—enter into agreements and contracts, pay employees, incur and pay debts, and more. Consider that, technically, suppliers and customers that interact with our company generally do business not with DuPont but rather with a global network of local legal entities that are owned by DuPont. The laws and regulations that govern how legal entities operate vary around the world. Global multinational businesses such as DuPont have multiple legal entities to support a worldwide business presence.

In preparation for the N&B-IFF transaction DuPont will separate its N&B business into dedicated legal entities that are aligned either with future-state DuPont or N&B.

The dates on which new legal entities become fully operational are known as “Go-Live” dates. The first anticipated Go-Live date—which applies to all in-scope heritage DuPont and heritage FMC entities—is July 1, 2020. Two additional Go-Lives will take place in the fourth quarter of 2020 related to the heritage Dow entities. It is important to stress that while the legal entity structure is changing, N&B remains a part of DuPont until the closing of the potential transaction with IFF.

What changes for me as an employee?

Some employees—aligned to N&B or future-state DuPont —will experience a change in the legal entity that technically employs them. For these employees who are changing legal entities, there may be some HR-related paperwork and other actions that require their attention, depending in part on local country requirements. They will, for example, receive their paycheck from a different legal entity (although it’s still ultimately coming from DuPont) after the Go-Live of the new legal entity. HR is in the process of notifying employees whose employment may change to a new legal entity on the July 1 Go-Live date.

Communication to customers and suppliers that may be impacted by these changes has started, to give them time to update their systems and files in anticipation of the Go-Lives, and so that there is a smooth transition.

If you have questions or concerns about legal entity changes, feel free to reach out to your manager or your local HR contact. You can also find out more and stay up to date on the transaction by visiting the IFF Merger focus area on The Bridge.
