Remarks made Edward D. Breen, Executive Chair and CEO

Slide 10 shows the progress we have made since announcing the N&B and IFF transaction last year. I remain very excited to bring these 2 businesses together to create a global leader. Since the announcement of the transaction in mid-December, teams have been hard at work. As I told you in January, the executive steering team and leaders for key work streams, including separation and integration, carve financials, IT separation and standup, legal entity work and talent selection are in place, and things are progressing as planned. In fact, as of March, we have received antitrust clearance here in the U.S. and our draft EU filing was submitted on April 20 and we are now working with the European Commission to formally notify the transaction and obtain antitrust clearance. We will file our initial registration statement with the SEC in the coming days. Also, the new leadership team will be announced later this month and IFF intends to hold its shareholder vote in September. In summary, the teams are energized and all the critical milestones remain on track for a Q1 2021 closing.

Remarks made by Edward D. Breen, Executive Chair and CEO, in response to questions

We’re going to get the cash from the IFF, N&B transaction. So we know that’s coming at the beginning of next year.

By the way, I’d also just mention on the N&B and IFF front, as we said in our prepared remarks, we are in great shape. I talked to Andreas, the CEO of IFF every single week, the teams are right on track with everything we need to do. We did get U.S. antitrust approval. We’re in the process with the EU now. And as you know, on this deal, there really is no antitrust issues. So all the teams are right on schedule, which is pretty amazing considering a lot of work-at-home policy going on right now at both of the companies. So we will definitely progress on the schedule we’re on for a February 1 close, and we’re going to have the shareholder vote in September, and I feel great about that. And we also have a shareholder that owns, give or take, 23%, 24% of the shares voting in favor of the deal. So just in great shape.

By the way, I would highlight just on the deal front. It’s interesting to note, and I’m not surprised by this at all, that the value of the N&B deal is almost exactly where we announced the deal. When we announced that the value of N&B was $26.2 billion. I didn’t actually rack and stack it in the last day, but it’s somewhere in the $25.5 billion range where the stock price is trading at. And again, not surprised by that because the N&B business, as you could see, in the first quarter, had a tremendous quarter. We had 3% organic growth in the business. So those type of businesses are going to hold up extremely well in any environment economically. And I think, therefore, afford a nice multiple in that sector, which I think it deserves. So when you really then look at it, many — most of you about — all of you have written about this, when you look at Remainco DuPont and what a trade that on a multiple basis, it’s pretty incredible, the disconnect that sits there. So I think therein lies a big opportunity for our shareholders over the next year.
