DuPont will retain accounts receivableand accounts payable associated with the Divested Ag Business, with an expected net value of $425 million.

Specifically, DuPont will divest its Cereal Broadleaf Herbicides and Chewing Insecticides portfolios. DuPont will also divest its Crop Protection researchand development pipeline and organization, excluding seed treatment, nematicides, and late-stage R&D programs, which DuPont will continue to develop andbring to market, and excluding personnel needed to support marketed products and R&D programs that will remain with DuPont.

The Transaction Agreement provides that each of DuPont and FMC is required, and shall cause its subsidiaries, to take all actions necessary to obtaingovernmental, regulatory and third party approvals, related to the Transactions subject to limited exceptions, including that DuPont is not required to take certainspecified actions to obtain regulatory approval with respect to the acquisition of the Acquired H&N Business (“ Divestiture Actions ”) that would reasonably belikely to result in the one-year loss of revenues to DuPont, Dow, DowDuPont Inc., their subsidiaries or the Acquired H&N Business in excess of $350 million inthe aggregate (based on fiscal year 2016 annual revenues) (a “ Substantial Detriment ”).

Exhibit 99.1

DuPont Announces Agreement with FMC

– DuPont to Divest a Portion of Its Crop Protection Business and Acquire FMC’s Health & Nutrition Business –

– Transaction Marks Meaningful Step Forward in Proposed DuPont and Dow Merger; Maintains Significant Strategic Value Creation Potential of MergerTransaction –

– Merger with Dow Now Expected to Close Between August 1 and September 1 –

Wilmington, DE — March 31, 2017 – DuPont (NYSE: DD) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC)to divest a portion of DuPont’s Crop Protection business, including certain research and development capabilities, and to acquire substantially all of FMC’sHealth & Nutrition business. The transaction includes consideration to DuPont of $1.6 billion to reflect the difference in the value of the assets, including cash of$1.2 billion and working capital of $425 million. The divestiture will satisfy DuPont’s commitments to the European Commission in connection with itsconditional regulatory clearance of the merger with Dow.

“We believe this agreement is an excellent outcome that serves the best interests of all stakeholders, including our shareholders, customers and employees,” saidEdward D. Breen, chairman and chief executive officer of DuPont. “Our intended independent Agriculture company will continue to benefit from the combined,complementary strengths of DuPont and Dow, which will include greatly expanded offerings and a robust pipeline across seed germplasm, biotech traits, and cropprotection to provide greater choice and innovation to growers around the world. At the same time, we are significantly enhancing our Nutrition & Healthcapabilities, a key area of growth and opportunity for the intended independent Specialty Products company.

“This agreement with FMC is a win-win. It is pro-competitive; it advances the regulatory approval process; and it maintains the strategic logic and value creationpotential of our merger with Dow and the three independent companies we intend to create,” concluded Breen.

The merger transaction is still expected to generate cost synergies of approximately $3 billion and growth synergies of $1 billion.

Divestiture of Select DuPont Crop Protection Assets

Under the terms of the agreement, FMC will acquire DuPont’s Cereal Broadleaf Herbicides and Chewing Insecticides portfolios – including Rynaxypyr ® ,Cyazypyr ® and Indoxacarb. In addition, FMC will acquire the DuPont Crop Protection research and development pipeline and organization, excluding seedtreatment, nematicides, and late-stage R&D programs, which DuPont will continue to develop and bring to market, and excluding personnel needed to supportmarketed products and R&D programs that will remain with DuPont. The assets being divested generated revenues in 2016 of about $1.4 billion.

E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company

Following the divestiture, the Agriculture division of the merged company will retain strong crop protection assets, including an excellent portfolio in corn and soybroadleaf and grass control, a robust cereal weed control portfolio, DuPont’s strong position in disease control, and Dow AgroSciences’ industry leading insecticideportfolio. With its continued strength in R&D, the combined Agriculture division will be well positioned to accelerate growth, leveraging strong pipelines in bothseeds and chemistry to serve growers around the world with a robust portfolio of innovative solutions, greater choice, and competitive price for value.

Acquisition of FMC Health & Nutrition Business

As part of the transaction agreement, DuPont will acquire FMC’s Health & Nutrition business, which generated more than $700 million in revenues in 2016 fromtwo main segments: texturants as food ingredients and pharmaceutical excipients. The business is highly complementary to DuPont’s existing Nutrition & Health(N&H) business with opportunity for growth synergies. By integrating FMC’s complementary Health & Nutrition business, DuPont will strengthen its N&Hcapabilities with broader offerings and an expanded footprint.

DuPont’s N&H business is a leader in the food ingredients industry, using renewably sourced raw materials to create a wide range of ingredients that foodmanufacturers use to provide safer, healthier, more affordable and nutritious food and beverages for consumers. This transaction strengthens DuPont’s access tokey ingredients for its systems and food texturants portfolio, enables the business to expand into the fast-growing pharma excipients space, and provides access tonew and complementary routes to market. As a result, DuPont N&H will be in a stronger position to drive growth, invest in R&D, and provide more products andsolutions to customers worldwide.

The transaction with FMC is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017, subject to the closing of the DuPont and Dow merger, in addition to other customaryclosing conditions, including regulatory approvals.

To accommodate the requirements of the FMC transaction, DuPont and Dow have amended the merger agreement to extend the “Outside Date” to August 31,2017, and the companies anticipate closing of the merger to occur between August 1, 2017 and September 1, 2017, subject to satisfaction of customary closingconditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. The companies still expect the intended spin-offs to occur within 18 months after closing. In addition, Dowand DuPont are announcing that they now expect the first spin-off of the intended separation process will be the spin-off of the post-merger Material Sciencecompany.

Evercore and Goldman, Sachs & Co. are serving as DuPont’s financial advisors for the transaction, with Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP acting as itslegal advisor.

DuPont will hold a conference call and webcast on Friday, Mar. 31, 2017, at 9:00 AM ET to discuss this news release. The webcast and additional presentationmaterials can be accessed by visiting the company’s investor website (Events & Presentations) at www.investors.dupont.com.
