SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Separation from DowDuPont

On April 1, 2019, DowDuPont completed the previously announced separation of its materials science business. The separation was effected by way of a pro rata distribution of all of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Dow Inc. common stock to DowDuPont stockholders of record as of the close of business, Eastern Time, on March 21, 2019 (the “Record Date”). The shareholders of record of DowDuPont received one share of Dow Inc. common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for every three shares of DowDuPont common stock, par value $0.01 per share, held as of the Record Date. No fractional shares of Dow Inc. common stock were issued. Instead, cash in lieu of any fractional shares was paid to DowDuPont registered shareholders. The number of shares of Dow Inc. common stock issued on April 1, 2019 was 748.8 million shares. Dow Inc. is now an independent, publicly traded company and Dow Inc. common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “DOW.” Dow Inc. common stock began regular-way trading on April 2, 2019, the first day following the distribution.

Effective April 1, 2019, TDCC became a wholly owned subsidiary of Dow Inc. As of the effective date and time of the distribution, DowDuPont does not beneficially own any equity interest in Dow and will no longer consolidate Dow and its consolidated subsidiaries into its financial results. Beginning in the second quarter of 2019, Dow’s consolidated financial results will reflect the results of Dow Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries - that is, TDCC after giving effect to the distribution of TDCC’s agricultural sciences business (“AgCo”) and TDCC’s specialty products business (“SpecCo”) and the receipt of DuPont’s ethylene and ethylene copolymers businesses (other than its ethylene acrylic elastomers business) (“ECP”). The consolidated financial results of Dow for periods prior to April 1, 2019, will reflect the distribution of AgCo and SpecCo as discontinued operations for each period presented as well as reflect the receipt of ECP as a common control transaction from the closing of the Merger on August 31, 2017.

On April 1, 2019, Dow Inc. received a cash contribution of $2,024 million from DowDuPont as part of the internal reorganization and business realignment steps between Dow Inc., TDCC and DowDuPont.

In connection with the separation, Dow Inc. entered into certain agreements with DowDuPont and/or Corteva, a subsidiary of DowDuPont which was formed to serve as the parent company for DowDuPont’s agriculture business, including the following: Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement and Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreements. In addition to establishing the terms of the separation, these agreements provide a framework for Dow’s interaction with DowDuPont and Corteva after the separation.

For additional information on the separation of the materials science business, refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Dow Inc. with the SEC on April 2, 2019, Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement on Form 10 ("Form 10") filed by Dow Inc. with the SEC on March 8, 2019, and related filings with the SEC. In addition, a summary of each of the above agreements can be found in the section entitled “Dow’s Relationship with New DuPont and Corteva Following the Distribution,” contained in the information statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 10.

Dividends

On April 11, 2019, Dow Inc.’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.70 per share, payable on June 14, 2019, to shareholders of record on May 31, 2019, consistent with its March 7, 2019 action declaring that a cash dividend of $525 million would be paid effective upon separation from DowDuPont.

2019 Stock Incentive Plan
