(b)    On December 14, 2015, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont” or the “Company”) and Mr. James C. Borel announced his retirement as Executive Vice President of DuPont effective in early 2016.

(e)    On December 10, 2015, the Company amended the terms of the Company’s Senior Executive Severance Plan (“SESP”) and as applicable the terms of the stock option awards outstanding under the Company’s Equity and Incentive Plan to provide that any stock options held by a participant in the SESP upon a “qualifying termination” within the meaning of SESP (a termination of employment by the employer without “cause” or by the participant for “good reason”) shall remain exercisable for the entire original term of the option. Also on December 10, 2015, the Company amended the SESP to provide that participants in the SESP who become subject to the “golden parachute” excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, shall be entitled to an additional gross-up payment such that, on a net after-tax basis, they shall be in the same position as if no such excise tax had been imposed.
