Item 5.01.	Changes in Control of Registrant.

On June 1, 2019, DowDuPont Inc. (“ DowDuPont ”) (which subsequently changed its name to DuPont de Nemours, Inc.) completed the previously announced separation of its agriculture business. The separation was completed by way of a pro rata distribution of all of the then-issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Corteva, Inc. (“ Corteva ”) to holders of record of DowDuPont common stock as of the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “ Corteva Distribution ”).

In connection with the Corteva Distribution and a series of internal reorganizations (the “Internal Reorganizations”), on May 31, 2019, DowDuPont contributed all of the outstanding common stock of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (“ Historical DuPont ”) to Corteva. As a result, Historical DuPont is now a subsidiary of Corteva and, beginning on June 3, 2019, will do business as “Corteva Agriscience.” Each share of Historical DuPont’s Preferred Stock-$3.50 Series and Preferred Stock-$4.50 Series issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Corteva Distribution remained issued and outstanding and was unaffected by the Corteva Distribution and Internal Reorganizations. Shares of Historical DuPont’s Preferred Stock-$3.50 Series and Preferred Stock-$4.50 Series will continue trading on June 3, 2019 on the NYSE under the new ticker symbols “CTAPrA” and “CTAPrB,” respectively, and will no longer trade under ticker symbols “DDPrA” and “DDPrB,” respectively. In addition, as a result of the Corteva Distribution and Internal Reorganizations, Corteva became the “successor issuer” to Historical DuPont pursuant to Rule 15d-5 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
