Lutz’s, Magro’s and Preete’s and Ms. Grimes’ decision to resign from the Board is in connection with the Company’s announcement that he/she is expected to join the board of directors of Vylor, currently a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and is not the result of any disagreement relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.

The Company issued two news releases on June 29, 2026, announcing the post-separation boards of directors for Corteva and Vylor. Copies of these news releases are furnished as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.

Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains certain forward-looking statements. Words such as “intend,” “will,” “may,” and “expect,” and variations of such words and similar future or conditional expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the Company’s intent to separate and its related expectations for Corteva and Vylor.

Important factors that may affect the Company’s business and operations and that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, whether the objectives of the spin-off will be achieved; the terms, structure, benefits and costs of any action or transaction resulting from the spin-off; the timing of any such spin-off or related action and whether any such spin-off will be consummated at all; the risk that the announcement of the intended spin-off could have an adverse effect on the ability of the Company to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, employees, shareholders and other business relationships and on its operating results and business generally; the risk the spin-off could divert the attention and time of the Company’s management; the risk of any unexpected costs or expenses resulting from the spin-off process or spin-off itself; and the risk of any litigation relating to the spin-off, as well as the risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s risk factors, as they may be amended from time to time, set forth in its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
