Corteva Announces Extension of Expiration Date in Private Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations for EIDP's 2.300% Senior Notes Due 2030, 5.125% Senior Notes Due 2032 and 4.800% Senior Notes Due 2033

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Corteva, Inc. (NYSE: CTVA) announced today that Vylor Inc., a Delaware corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary ("Vylor"), has extended the expiration date of each of its previously announced (i) private offers to exchange (with respect to each series, an "Exchange Offer" and together, the "Exchange Offers") any and all of the outstanding senior notes of the series listed in the table below issued by EIDP, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Corteva ("EIDP" and such notes, collectively, the "EIDP Notes"), to the extent held by eligible holders, for a corresponding series of notes to be newly issued by Vylor (collectively, the "Vylor Notes") and (ii) related consent solicitations (the "Consent Solicitations") made by Vylor on behalf of EIDP to adopt certain proposed amendments to the indentures governing the EIDP Notes (the "Proposed Amendments"). Vylor hereby extends the expiration date of each Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 29, 2026 to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 30, 2026 (such date and time, as they may be further extended, the "Expiration Date").

The table below sets forth, for each series of EIDP Notes, the principal amount validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 29, 2026.

The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made upon the terms and conditions set forth in an exchange offer memorandum and consent solicitation statement, dated August 6, 2026 (as amended or supplemented, the "Offering Memorandum"), copies of which have been made available to holders of the EIDP Notes eligible to participate in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations. Each Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation is conditioned upon, among other things, the consummation of Corteva's planned separation into two independent, publicly traded companies, one comprising its current crop protection business and the other comprising its current seed business to be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by Vylor (the "Separation"). Other than the Separation (without the consummation of which the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations will not be consummated and the Proposed Amendments contemplated by the Consent Solicitations will not become operative), Vylor may generally waive any condition with respect to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, in its sole discretion, at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

As previously announced, Vylor received, on behalf of EIDP, the requisite consents to adopt the Proposed Amendments. EIDP and the trustee under the indentures governing the EIDP Notes executed and delivered a supplemental indenture giving effect to the Proposed Amendments. The Proposed Amendments will become operative only upon the settlement of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations on the Settlement Date (as defined below).

Assuming the remaining conditions to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are satisfied or (to the extent permitted) waived, settlement of the Exchange Offers is expected to occur on or about the first business day following the Expiration Date and substantially simultaneously with the consummation of the Separation, unless Vylor further extends or terminates the Exchange Offers (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the "Settlement Date"). Accordingly, Vylor may, in its discretion, further extend each of the Expiration Date and the Settlement Date as necessary to maintain such sequencing.

Except as described in this press release, all other terms of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations remain unchanged. Vylor reserves the right to terminate, withdraw, amend or extend an Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation in its sole discretion, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum.

The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made only to holders of EIDP Notes who satisfy the eligibility conditions described under "Disclaimer" below. Holders of EIDP Notes who desire a copy of the eligibility letter should contact D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information agent and exchange agent for the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, by phone at (800) 283-9185 or by email at [email protected]. Banks and brokers should call (646) 461-2610. The eligibility letter may also be found here: www.dfking.com/vylor. D.F. King & Co., Inc. will also provide copies of the Offering Memorandum to eligible holders of EIDP Notes.

Holders of EIDP Notes are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold EIDP Notes as to when such intermediary needs to receive instructions from a holder in order for that holder to be able to participate in, or (in the circumstances in which revocation is permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in, the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations before the deadlines specified herein and in the Offering Memorandum. The deadlines set by each clearing system for the submission and withdrawal of exchange instructions will also be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified herein and in the Offering Memorandum.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the Vylor Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, such an offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and, accordingly, the Vylor Notes will be subject to transfer restrictions unless and until the Vylor Notes are registered or exchanged for registered notes.

The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made only to, and the Vylor Notes will be offered for exchange only to, holders of EIDP Notes who are (i) reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers" (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and (ii) outside the United States, persons who are not, and who are not acting for the account or benefit of, "U.S. persons" (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act) in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Vylor Notes will not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act) unless the transaction is registered under the Securities Act, an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available or the transaction is not subject to registration under the Securities Act.

The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made only pursuant to the Offering Memorandum. The Offering Memorandum and other documents relating to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations will be distributed only to holders of EIDP Notes who confirm that they are within the categories of eligible participants in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations. None of Vylor, its directors or officers, the dealer managers and solicitation agents, the exchange agent, the information agent, the trustees for the Vylor Notes or the EIDP Notes, their respective affiliates, or any other person is making any recommendation as to whether holders should tender their EIDP Notes in the Exchange Offers or deliver related consents to the Proposed Amendments in the Consent Solicitations.

The complete terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are set forth in the Offering Memorandum. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are only being made pursuant to the Offering Memorandum. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are not being made to holders of EIDP Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.

ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
