Dow, DuPont Receive Merger Approval In Brazil DuPont and The Dow Chemical Company an- nounced that Brazil’s Administrative Council for Eco- nomic Defense (CADE) has granted conditional regulatory approval of their proposed merger of equals. CADE’s approval of the merger is subject to the im- plementation of remedies that maintain the strategic

logic and value creation potential of the transaction for all stakeholders. Dow and DuPont continue to work constructively with regulators in the remaining relevant jurisdic- tions to obtain clearance for the merger.The compa- nies continue to anticipate closing the merger between August 1, 2017 and September 1, 2017, with the intended spins to occur within 18 months of closing. The companies expect that the first step of the intended separation process will be the spin-off of the Materials Science Company, assuming such se- quencing would allow for the completion of all in- tended spin-offs within 18 months of merger closing and would not adversely impact the value of the in- tended spin-offs.
