Wilmington, DE – DuPont (NYSE: DD) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC) to divest a portion of DuPont’s Crop Protection business, including certain research and development capabilities, and to acquire substantially all of FMC’s Health & Nutrition business. The transaction includes consideration to DuPont of $1.6 billion to reflect the difference in the value of the assets, including cash of $1.2 billion and working capital of $425 million. The divestiture will satisfy DuPont’s commitments to the European Commission in connection with its conditional regulatory clearance of the merger with Dow.
“We believe this agreement is an excellent outcome that serves the best interests of all stakeholders, including our shareholders, customers and employees,” said Edward D. Breen, chairman and chief executive officer of DuPont. “Our intended independent Agriculture company will continue to benefit from the combined, complementary strengths of DuPont and Dow, which will include greatly expanded offerings and a robust pipeline across seed germplasm, biotech traits, and crop protection to provide greater choice and innovation to growers around the world. At the same time, we are significantly enhancing our Nutrition & Health capabilities, a key area of growth and opportunity for the intended independent Specialty Products company.
“This agreement with FMC is a win-win. It is pro-competitive; it advances the regulatory approval

Winter Storm Watch and Hazardous Weather Outlook Issued For April 1
Winter Storm Watch
URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Gray ME
357 PM EDT Thu Mar 30 2017
...Late season winter storm Friday into Saturday, uncertainties
remain...
.Low pressure will develop over the Mid Atlantic states tonight
and Friday which will then move northeastward to south of Cape Cod
Saturday before departing out to sea thereafter. There remains a
considerable amount of uncertainty in snow amounts even with the
storm beginning Friday morning for portions of the forecast area.
The northward and eastward extent of heavy snowfall is still
uncertain at this time due to continued uncertainties in storm
track. Also, warm air aloft may work in for a time allowing for
mixing with sleet across southern New Hampshire and southernmost
Maine. These factors will have fairly large ramifications for
either higher or lower snow totals than forecast. However,
confidence is high enough in the occurrence of a significant
snowfall to issue a winter storm warning in western and
southwestern New Hampshire for Friday and Saturday. Otherwise,
confidence is not quite high enough for the rest of the watch area
at this time but a significant snowfall remains possible. In
addition, the snow will likely be heavy and wet so power outages
will be possible depending on how much snow falls.
