Section 7 - Regulation FD
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On February 1, 2021, DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (“DuPont” or the “Company”) completed the separation and distribution of its Nutrition & Biosciences business (the “N&B Business”), and merger of Nutrition & Biosciences, Inc. (“N&B”), a DuPont subsidiary formed to hold the N&B Business, with a subsidiary of International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (“IFF”). The distribution was effected through an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) where, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, DuPont stockholders had the option to tender all, some or none of their shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of DuPont (the “DuPont Common Stock”) for a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of N&B (the “N&B Common Stock”), and which resulted in all shares of N&B Common Stock being distributed to DuPont stockholders that participated in the Exchange Offer. The consummation of the Exchange Offer was followed by the merger of N&B with a wholly owned subsidiary of IFF, with N&B surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of IFF (the Exchange Offer together with the merger, the "N&B Transaction"). As a result of the N&B Transaction, the N&B Business is reported in the Company's historical results as discontinued operations for the periods presented.
2021 Segment Realignments
Effective February 1, 2021, immediately following the separation and distribution of the N&B Business, the Company made changes to its management and reporting structure (the “2021 Segment Realignments”). These changes include the following:
• Realignment of certain businesses from Transportation & Industrial to Electronics & Imaging;
• Dissolution of the Non-Core segment with the businesses to be divested and previously divested reflected in Corporate;
• Realignment of the remaining Non-Core businesses to Transportation & Industrial.
In addition, the following name changes occurred:
• Electronics & Imaging is renamed Electronics & Industrial;
• Transportation & Industrial is renamed Mobility & Materials;
• Safety & Construction is renamed Water & Protection.
The Company is providing, as an exhibit to this report, unaudited revised consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 as well as the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, June 30, 2020 and 2019, September 30, 2020 and 2019, and December 31, 2020 and 2019, that reflect the N&B Business as discontinued operations. The Company is also providing select supplemental unaudited segment information for the periods noted above reflecting the 2021 Segment Realignments.
