“ [My] third operating priority is simply execution. I use data to drive decisions, I set clear targets, in an effort to monitor progress and hold people accountable. I set the competitive benchmarks, and I continuously raise the bar. ” – Ellen Kullman , CEO, May 2, 2013 Investor Day DUPONT RHETORIC THE REALITY Despite management’s insistence at its 2013 Investor Day that it “continuously raise[s] the bar,” on that same day, DuPont lowered long - term targets for six of its seven businesses. Worse yet, DuPont suggested these changes were due to a change in accounting methodology. Management finally admitted that it had indeed lowered margin targets but only after research analysts probed during the Q&A session. 1 While DuPont has continually missed its rolling long - term targets announced in December 2010 (7% revenue growth and 12% earnings growth ), 2 until recently, the Board has not reduced management compensation despite this poor performance. 3 In fact, in 2013, management was paid outsized long - term compensation (on average, 113% of the target amount under the plan) even though DuPont’s total shareholder return (a key metric for determining the payout) that year was in the 25 th percentile of DuPont’s identified peers. Moreover, in 2012 and 2013, when DuPont had adjusted earnings per share (EPS) growth of - 6% and 3%, each of which was significantly below its long - term target of 12% EPS growth, DuPont still paid management cash bonuses at approximately 90 % of the target for such compensation. 4 These “crony” compensation practices continue to persist. Most recently, with respect to 2014 performance, the Board’s Human Resources and Compensation Committee acknowledged poor operating performance as it exercised “negative discretion” and gave management a 0% payout factor for “corporate performance” under DuPont’s short - term incentive program. However, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee still found a way to pay management by giving an 80 - 100% payout factor for “individual performance.” 5 How can it be that the Company is doing poorly operationally but management as individuals are each doing great ? 4

“ [ Trian has a] high - risk, value - destructive agenda to break up and add excessive debt to [the] Company. ” – April 16, 2015 Letter to Shareholders DUPONT RHETORIC THE REALITY Despite DuPont’s allegations, with an investment of approximately $ 1.7 billion in DuPont, Trian is not wedded to any specific strategic and operating initiatives – other than achieving best - in - class operating performance (organic revenue growth and margins) – much less initiatives that are high - risk and value destructive. Our focus is on enhancing the long - term value of DuPont for the benefit of all stockholders by improving operating performance and capital allocation. If DuPont management can implement a plan that would retain DuPont’s conglomerate structure and provide better stockholder returns than would be generated if certain DuPont businesses were operated independently, Trian would be supportive of such a plan. Moreover, Trian’s operating and strategic initiatives assume that DuPont will maintain a high - quality credit rating (investment grade). In contrast, DuPont is putting Chemours , which will be owned by DuPont’s shareholders after the spin - off, into “junk” territory! 6 5

“ [DuPont’s] Board and management team have a proven track record of success . ” – March 23, 2015 Letter to Shareholders DUPONT RHETORIC THE REALITY DuPont has not been successful in meeting either its short - term EPS goals or its long - term targets. DuPont has repeatedly failed to meet its own guidance, missing / lowering guidance in each of the last three years. Furthermore, EPS in each of 2012, 2013, and 2014 was below EPS in 2011 and, according to DuPont’s own guidance, 2015 EPS will also be below 2011. 7 Long - term performance has also been lackluster. DuPont’s EPS growth has not met its long - term growth goal of 12% since 2011. EPS has trailed peers’ over almost any time frame, including the last 3 years (since 2011), over the last cycle (since 2007), over the last decade, and over the last 20 years. 8 Moreover , organic growth has drastically underperformed long - term targets in six of seven segments during CEO Ellen Kullman’s tenure, and has trailed peers’ in five of seven segments. Margins have underperformed as well, and are significantly below peers’ in five of its seven operating segments. 9 DuPont reported yet another disappointing quarter on April 21, 2015. Sales and earnings were down and management guided to the low end of its projected 2015 earnings range. 10 6

DuPont implies that its stock price increased due to its performance: “ [t]he evidence of DuPont’s performance and actions is reflected in DuPont’s continued TSR outperformance under the current management. ” – “Important Facts for DuPont Shareholders” Presentation, February 2015 DUPONT RHETORIC THE REALITY In our opinion, DuPont’s total shareholder return (TSR) does not reflect improvements in fundamentals. Sooner or later, stocks always end up trading based on earnings performance. Unfortunately, DuPont’s 2015 EPS is projected to be below 2011 EPS for the fourth year in a row. 11 We believe that DuPont’s improved stock price reflects Trian’s positive influence on the management of DuPont and macro - economic events. Since January 1, 2009 (the date DuPont’s CEO took office), DuPont’s stock has posted its best share price performance (relative to the S&P 500) on ( i ) the date in September 2014 when Trian’s White Paper was released and (ii) the date in July 2013 on which Trian’s investment in DuPont was disclosed publicly . By contrast, over the same period, DuPont’s share price has declined by an aggregate of $12 on the trading day following all earnings events (quarterly earnings, setting of guidance, changes to guidance, pre - announcements) during the current management’s tenure. 12 7

“ [ O]ur five year, long - term rolling growth targets of 7 percent revenue growth and 12 percent operating earnings growth, . . . announced . . .[in December 2010] . . . are both appropriate and achievable. We fully endorse management’s plan to achieve them and are encouraged by progress against them . ” – March 5, 2014 Letter from Alexander Cutler, DuPont’s Lead Director, to Trian DUPONT RHETORIC THE REALITY Less than four months after Mr. Cutler expressed his confidence in management, DuPont lowered its EPS guidance for 2014, resulting in the Company missing earnings guidance for the third consecutive year. 13 Because DuPont announced it would miss guidance for the third year in a row, we proposed that a Trian Principal , Ed Garden, be added to the Board. In return, we pledged to work constructively, from a minority position, to help increase value with the power of our argument. That proposal was flatly rejected by the Board in August 2014. DuPont management is currently projecting 2015 EPS will be at the low end of the range of $4.00 - $4.20. However, if DuPont had achieved its five - year, long - term rolling 12% operating earnings growth targets announced in December 2010, it would be on track to deliver $6.45 of EPS in 2015. 14 If DuPont had achieved its targets, 2015 earnings would be over 60% higher than DuPont’s latest guidance. 15 8

DuPont recently asserted that its M&A strategy has enhanced value, saying: [ m] anagement is “ building a higher growth, higher value DuPont… [by] acquir [ ing ] higher growth, higher value businesses like Danisco …[and divesting] more commoditized and cyclical businesses such as Performance Coatings. ” – March 23, 2015 Letter to Shareholders DUPONT RHETORIC THE REALITY In our view, DuPont’s M&A strategy has destroyed value for DuPont stockholders and illustrates that businesses are less profi tab le when operated inside DuPont than when operated independently. Disaster at Danisco : In June 2011, DuPont completed its $7 billion acquisition of Danisco , a Danish food ingredient and enzyme maker. DuPont expected improvements in Danisco’s organic revenue growth and in its margins in 2012 and beyond. 16 However , these improvements have failed to materialize : • Organic growth has deteriorated substantially : Organic revenue growth has averaged a meager 3.1% 17 since completion of the acquisition, significantly below Danisco’s historical long - term organic growth rate (5.2 %), 18 DuPont’s long - term target for the segment (8 - 10 %), 19 and DuPont’s long - term revenue growth goal for the entire Company (7%). • Margins have fallen by ~33% inside the DuPont conglomerate: Danisco’s EBIT margins have fallen from 13.8% in 2010 to 9.3% in 2014. 20 Costly Sale of Performance Coatings : In August 2012, DuPont announced the sale of Performance Coatings to private equity owners, for which DuPont received after - tax cash proceeds of approximately $4.2 billion. 21 DuPont claimed this was consistent with the “higher growth, higher value strategy,” as it continued to shift its “sales mix towards higher - growth businesses .” 22 However , since the divestiture, the Performance Coatings business (now named Axalta) has performed significantly better as a standalone entity than it performed as part of DuPont . • At the time of divesture, DuPont reported that Performance Coatings generated $339 million 23 of EBITDA in 2011; under new ownership, the same business generated $568 million of EBITDA in 2011 and $851 million of EBITDA in 2014. 24 • Performance Coatings is now viewed as a specialty business and Axalta currently trades at a higher multiple in the public mar ket s than DuPont (~ 29.6x 2015 P/E for Axalta vs. 17.7x for DuPont ), 25 despite DuPont’s claims that this transaction contributed to “higher value .” In April 2015, Berkshire Hathaway announced plans to acquire an 8.7% stake in Axalta for $560 million. Axalta’s enterprise value today is approximately $ 10.6 billion, 26 illustrating a more than a $6 billion transfer of wealth from DuPont stockholders to Axalta’s private equity owners . 9

DuPont recently asserted it will cut $1.3 billion of excess costs by the end of 2017. DuPont said: “ [w]e have significantly improved efficiency and reduced costs, and the separation of Chemours will allow us to take this process further. We expect annual run - rate savings of $1 billion by the end of 2015, and $1.3 billion by the end of 2017 . ” – March 23, 2015 Letter to Shareholders DUPONT RHETORIC THE REALITY Although DuPont talks about efficiency and reduced costs, it has lower margins than its peers in five of seven segments. Moreover, DuPont acknowledges its costs are too high and touts its plans to achieve $1.3 billion of cost reductions. However, $375 million of the purported cost savings is simply a transfer of costs to Chemours , the new entity that stockholders will own once the spin - off is completed in mid - 2015. 10

“ Returning capital to shareholders has always been a priority at DuPont . ” – March 23, 2015 Letter to Shareholders DUPONT RHETORIC DuPont did not become focused on returning capital to stockholders until after Trian invested nearly two years ago . • Dividend growth has been anemic : During Ms. Kullman’s tenure, DuPont’s dividend has only grown 12% in total, materially below the dividend growth rates of both proxy peers and diversified chemical and industrial peers (66% and 117%, respectively ). 27 • Poor use of proceeds from divestitures: Only $1 billion of $4 billion in proceeds from the sale of Performance Coatings was used to repurchase stock, resulting in $0.27/share of additional dilution. 28 • Lack of urgency on announced share repurchase programs : DuPont has not provided any timetable for the completion of its current $5 billion buyback program announced in January 2014. The previous share buyback program – a $2 billion authorization announced in 2001 – took over 10 years to complete. 29 • Less capital returned than peers : During Ms. Kullman’s tenure, DuPont has returned only 62% of free cash flow and proceeds from divestitures to stockholders compared to 91% for the proxy peer group. 30 • Outstanding shares have increased : During current management’s tenure, the number of outstanding shares has increased. 31 11 THE REALITY

“ Please note that voting a “gold” proxy card for any reason will not count as a vote in support of DuPont’s Board... ” – April 16, 2015 Letter to Shareholders DUPONT RHETORIC THE REALITY Stockholders can vote for up to eight of DuPont’s incumbent board members using Trian’s GOLD proxy card. Unfortunately, DuPont’s Board unanimously rejected 32 best - in - class corporate governance and shareholder democracy by objecting to Trian’s proposal to allow for the use of a universal proxy card. This would have allowed stockholders to choose the best among all candidates (rather than between two slates of candidates) without physically attending the Annual Meeting. 12
