The email below was sent to certain employees of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”) on April 16, 2015:

An all-employee message from Ellen Kullman, Chair and CEO of DuPont.

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last several weeks, I have been personally energized by the conversations I have been having with shareholders, customers and colleagues about the next generation DuPont.  Every day we see the positive impact of our strategy—in the feedback we get from customers, in the successes coming from our powerful innovation engine, and, importantly, in the results of our ongoing business, which is already delivering higher, more stable growth.

One of the most challenging things about change is that we feel the effort every step of the way, but it often takes perspective to see the progress. That is the focus of the shareholder letter [hyperlink] we issued today.  It reviews one of the leading indicators of our progress—the momentum of our ongoing, post-spin business—and it defines the significant market opportunities we are capturing through our work across three areas of strategic focus.  I encourage you to review the letter, as well as the shareholder presentation [hyperlink] we issued on April 6 for more detail on the performance metrics that define the momentum to date and the growth strategies that will drive the next great era of innovation and revenue expansion at DuPont.

As leaders in every one of our markets, we are uniquely well equipped to drive continued growth as we offer our customers the sustainable, creative solutions they demand.  Our progress will continue to be driven by our powerful innovation platform, expanding our global reach and ongoing improvements in productivity.  Streamlined, agile and responsive to customers—all of these characteristics require cost discipline and constant attention to the size and structure of our organization.  As we scale the organization for the next generation DuPont, I also want to take the opportunity to remind us all that the discipline we are applying now is preparation for the next step-change in our growth and value.

Those of you who are shareholders will receive today’s letter by mail, along with a WHITE proxy card. Please support our Board of Directors by voting the WHITE proxy card FOR all of DuPont’s director nominees. You must actively vote your shares using the WHITE proxy card, in order to have your shares represented at the Annual Meeting. Simply discard any “gold” proxy card that you may receive from Trian. Returning a “gold” proxy card—even if you “withhold” on Trian’s nominees—will revoke any vote you had previously submitted on DuPont’s WHITE proxy card.

If you have any questions at all about the voting process, please contact the firm assisting us on this matter: Innisfree M&A Incorporated at (877) 750-9501 (toll free) or (412) 232-3651.

Every one of you has played a role in our progress to date—and will be critical to our continued success. On behalf of the entire Board and management team, I want to thank you for all that you have done—and all that we will do together—to deliver the next great era of DuPont.

Ellen

The company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statements as a result of future developments or new information.
