Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On February 1, 2021 (the "Closing Date"), International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. ("IFF" or the "Company") completed the combination of IFF and DuPont de Nemours, Inc's. ("DuPont") nutrition and biosciences business (the "N&B Business") which had been transferred to Nutrition & Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of DuPont ("N&B") in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. IFF acquired 100% interest of N&B pursuant to definitive agreements, including an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") entered into on December 15, 2019. For informational purposes only, set forth in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company is furnishing certain segment information for FY 2020, pro forma to show the combination of the historical results of IFF and N&B as if the N&B Transaction had been consummated on the dates indicated therein.
This Form 8-K reflects the new segment structure of IFF. Following the merger, IFF began to manage and report its operating results through four reportable segments: Nourish, Scent, Health & Biosciences and Pharma Solutions.
The pro forma combined segment information has been prepared based upon currently available information and assumptions deemed appropriate by management. The pro forma combined segment information is not necessarily indicative of what IFF’s results of operations actually would have been had the merger been completed on the dates indicated in Exhibit 99.1. In addition, the pro forma combined segment information does not purport to project the future operating results of the Company.
The information contained in this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liability of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
