Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Other than the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes in the Company's risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

DuPont could incur additional tax liabilities if certain internal transactions undertaken in connection with the completed divestiture of a majority of its historic Mobility & Materials segment to Celanese, and in connection with DuPont’s pursuit of plans to divest the Delrin® acetal homopolymer business (the “Delrin® Business”), fail to qualify for their intended tax treatment.

On November 1, 2022, DuPont and certain of its subsidiaries completed the sale to Celanese of a majority of the Company’s historic Mobility & Materials segment, including the Engineering Polymers business line and select product lines within the Performance Resins and Advanced Solutions business lines (the “M&M Business”) for $11 billion in cash, subject to customary transaction adjustments in accordance with the Transaction Agreement (the “M&M Divestiture”).

On February 18, 2022, DuPont also announced that its Board of Directors approved the divestiture of the Delrin® Business subject to entry into a definitive agreement and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance as to the outcome, timing or ability to realize expected benefits from the Delrin® Business divestiture process.

Prior to the Closing of the M&M Divestiture, DuPont engaged in certain internal reorganization activities to separate the M&M Business, and in certain cases in connection therewith, the Delrin® Business, into separate subsidiaries and to align the subsidiaries holding the M&M Business for disposition in a tax-efficient manner. DuPont has recognized a tax liability related to the M&M Divestiture. However, if certain internal transactions related to the separation of the M&M Business and/or of the Delrin® Business fail to qualify for their intended tax treatment under U.S. federal, state, local tax and/or foreign tax law, DuPont could incur additional tax liabilities.

DuPont may not realize the anticipated benefits of its share repurchase programs and any failure to repurchase the Company’s common stock after DuPont has announced its intention to do so may negatively impact the Company’s stock price.

On November 7, 2022, DuPont’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase and retirement of up to $5 billion of common stock. This new repurchase authorization is in addition to the $250 million remaining under the Company’s existing share repurchase program which was approved in February 2022. The Company intends to enter accelerated share repurchase agreements ( “ASR Agreements”) imminently, for the repurchase of an aggregate of $3.25 billion of common stock with $250 million of such repurchases under the existing program and the remaining $3 billion under the new program. new repurchase program terminates on June 30, 2024, unless extended or shortened by the Board of Directors.

Under these or any other future share repurchase programs, DuPont may make share repurchases through a variety of methods, including open share market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including additional ASR agreements in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. The timing and amount of any repurchases, if any, will on factors such as the stock price, economic and market conditions, and corporate and regulatory requirements. Any failure to repurchase shares after the Company has announced its intention to do so may negatively impact DuPont’s reputation, investor confidence and the price of the Company’s common stock.

The existence of these share repurchase programs could cause the price of the Company’s common stock to be higher than it otherwise would be and could potentially reduce the market liquidity for DuPont stock. Although these programs are intended to enhance long-term stockholder value, there is no assurance they will do so because the market price of DuPont common stock may decline below the levels at which we repurchased shares and short-term stock price fluctuations could reduce the effectiveness of the programs.

Repurchasing common stock will reduce the amount of cash DuPont has available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions or business opportunities and other general corporate requirements, and the Company may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of these share repurchase programs.
