Forward Looking Statements This document contains
forward-looking statements which may be identified by their use of words like
plans, expects, will, believes, intends, estimates, anticipates
or other words of similar meaning. All statements that address expectations
or projections about the future, including statements about the companys
strategy for growth, product development, regulatory approval, market
position, anticipated benefits of recent acquisitions, timing of anticipated
benefits from restructuring actions, outcome of contingencies, such as
litigation and environmental matters, expenditures and financial results, are
forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance and are based on certain assumptions and expectations of
future events which may not be realized. Forward-looking statements also
involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the companys
control. Some of the important factors that could cause the companys actual
results to differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking
statements are: fluctuations in energy and raw material prices; failure to
develop and market new products and optimally manage product life cycles;
ability to respond to market acceptance, rules, regulations and policies
affecting products based on biotechnology; significant litigation and
environmental matters; failure to appropriately manage process safety and
product stewardship issues; changes in laws and regulations or political
conditions; global economic and capital markets conditions, such as
inflation, interest and currency exchange rates; business or supply
disruptions; security threats, such as acts of sabotage, terrorism or war,
weather events and natural disasters; ability to protect and enforce the
companys intellectual property rights; successful integration of acquired
businesses and separation of underperforming or non-strategic assets or
businesses and successful completion of the proposed spinoff of the Performance
Chemicals segment including ability to fully realize the expected benefits of
the proposed spinoff. The company undertakes no duty to update any
forward-looking statements as a result of future developments or new
information. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT DuPont has filed a
