May, a citizen of the United States of America, and Edward P. Garden, a citizen of the United States of America (the Trian Entities and Messrs. Peltz, May and Garden are sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively, as “we” or the “Trian Group”) to be used at the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders of DuPont, including any adjournments or postponements thereof and any meeting held in lieu thereof (the “2015 Annual Meeting”). The 2015 Annual Meeting is scheduled to be held at [•] on [•], at [•]. This Proxy Statement and the enclosed GOLD proxy card are first being furnished to stockholders on or about [•].

THIS SOLICITATION IS BEING MADE BY THE TRIAN GROUP AND NOT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY.

We are soliciting your proxy for the 2015 Annual Meeting in support of the following proposals:

To elect Nelson Peltz, John H. Myers, Arthur B. Winkleblack and Robert J. Zatta (each a “Nominee”) to serve as directors of the Company (“Proposal 1”); and

To adopt a resolution that each provision of or amendment to the Bylaws (as defined below) of the Company adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) (and not by the Company’s stockholders) subsequent to August 12, 2013 and prior to the approval of this resolution be repealed, effective as of the time this resolution is approved by the Company’s stockholders (“Proposal 7”).

Except as set forth in this Proxy Statement, the Trian Group is not aware of any other matter to be considered at the 2015 Annual Meeting. However, if the Trian Group learns of any other proposals made at a

reasonable time before the 2015 Annual Meeting, the Trian Group will either supplement this Proxy Statement and provide stockholders with an opportunity to vote by proxy directly on such matters or will not exercise discretionary authority with respect thereto. If other proposals are made thereafter, the persons named as proxies on the GOLD proxy card solicited by the Trian Group will vote such proxies in their discretion with respect to such matters.

DuPont has disclosed that the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the 2015 Annual Meeting is [•] (the “Record Date”). Stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the 2015 Annual Meeting. According to the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2015 Annual Meeting, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on [●], 2015 (the “Company’s Proxy Statement”), as of the Record Date there were [•] shares of common stock, $.30 par value per share (the “Shares”), outstanding and entitled to vote at the 2015 Annual Meeting. Each Share has one vote.

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the members of the Trian Group beneficially own an aggregate of 24,563,084 Shares, representing approximately [•]% of the Company’s outstanding Shares (based on information disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement regarding the number of outstanding Shares as of the Record Date).

The Trian Group is seeking your proxy to vote FOR the election of our Nominees, FOR the candidates who have been nominated by the Company other than [•] and FOR Proposal 7 described herein. In the event that (i) the Company purports to increase the number of directorships after the date hereof and prior to the 2015 Annual Meeting, (ii) the Company makes or announces any changes to the Bylaws of the Company as revised effective August 12, 2013 and filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 13, 2013 (the “Bylaws”) or takes or announces any other action that purports to have, or if consummated would purport to have, the effect of disqualifying any of the Nominees and/or (iii) any of the Nominees is unable (due to death, disability or otherwise) or hereafter becomes unwilling for any reason to serve as a director, the proxies named on the attached GOLD proxy card will vote for Edward P. Garden (the “Alternate Nominee”), in addition to the Nominees or in place of such Nominee, as applicable. In addition to the foregoing, the Trian Group reserve the right to further nominate, substitute or add additional persons in the event that any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence occur, in which case, the Trian Group will file and deliver supplemental proxy materials, including a revised proxy card, disclosing the information relating to such additional persons that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for the election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

OUR NOMINEES ARE COMMITTED TO ACTING IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF ALL STOCKHOLDERS. WE BELIEVE THAT YOUR VOICE IN THE FUTURE OF DUPONT CAN BEST BE EXPRESSED THROUGH THE ELECTION OF OUR NOMINEES. ACCORDINGLY, THE TRIAN GROUP URGES YOU TO VOTE YOUR GOLD PROXY CARD FOR OUR NOMINEES AND FOR PROPOSAL 7.

As explained in the detailed instructions on your GOLD proxy card, there are four ways you may vote. You may:

Sign, date and return the enclosed GOLD proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. We recommend that you vote on the GOLD proxy card even if you plan to attend the 2015 Annual Meeting;

Vote via the Internet by following the voting instructions on the GOLD proxy card or the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other holder of record. Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate your identity, allow you to vote your Shares and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. Your Internet vote authorizes the named proxies to vote your Shares in the same manner as if you had signed and returned a proxy card. If you submit your vote by Internet, you may incur costs associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies;

Vote by telephone by following the voting instructions on the GOLD proxy card or the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other holder of record. Your telephone vote authorizes the named proxies to vote your Shares in the same manner as if you had signed and returned a proxy card; or

Vote in person by attending the 2015 Annual Meeting. Written ballots will be distributed to stockholders who wish to vote in person at the 2015 Annual Meeting. If you hold your Shares through a bank, broker or other custodian, you must obtain a legal proxy from such bank, broker or other custodian in order to vote in person at the meeting.

WE URGE YOU NOT TO SIGN ANY WHITE PROXY CARD SENT TO YOU BY THE COMPANY. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE SO, YOU MAY REVOKE YOUR PREVIOUSLY SIGNED WHITE PROXY BY SIGNING AND RETURNING A LATER-DATED GOLD PROXY CARD IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE, BY DELIVERING A WRITTEN NOTICE OF REVOCATION TO THE TRIAN GROUP OR TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY, OR BY INSTRUCTING US BY TELEPHONE OR VIA THE INTERNET AS TO HOW YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR SHARES VOTED (INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON YOUR GOLD PROXY CARD).

HOLDERS OF SHARES AS OF THE RECORD DATE ARE URGED TO SUBMIT A GOLD PROXY CARD EVEN IF YOUR SHARES WERE SOLD AFTER THE RECORD DATE.

IF YOUR SHARES ARE HELD IN THE NAME OF A BROKERAGE FIRM, BANK, BANK NOMINEE OR OTHER INSTITUTION ON THE RECORD DATE, ONLY THAT INSTITUTION CAN VOTE THOSE SHARES AND ONLY UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS. ACCORDINGLY, PLEASE CONTACT THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACCOUNT AND INSTRUCT THAT PERSON TO SIGN AND RETURN ON YOUR BEHALF THE GOLD PROXY CARD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Trian has retained MacKenzie Partners, Inc. to assist in communicating with stockholders in connection with the proxy solicitation and to assist in efforts to obtain proxies.

REASONS TO VOTE FOR TRIAN GROUP’S SLATE OF NOMINEES

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the members of the Trian Group beneficially own an aggregate of 24,563,084 Shares, making it one of the Company’s largest stockholders. While we believe that the Trian Group has already made a positive impact on value creation at the Company (since the Trian Group first engaged with the Company in June 2013, the Company has announced several positive initiatives, including the planned spin-off of Performance Chemicals (The Chemours Company, LLC (“Chemours”)), and the appointment of two new independent directors to the Board), we still have many outstanding concerns regarding the Company’s recent performance, corporate structure, excess corporate costs, capital allocation policies and corporate governance practices. We are also concerned that the Board has only taken action when confronted with outside pressure, rather than consistently prioritizing the enhancement of stockholder value.

As a result, we have identified and are submitting for election at the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting a slate of four independent-minded, highly qualified nominees to join the Board, who will work collaboratively with the other directors in order to:

Assess the Company’s corporate structure and determine whether management is capable of achieving best-in-class revenue growth and margins with the existing portfolio or whether there is a need to separate the portfolio—our nominees are open-minded as to the best path forward;

Eliminate excess corporate costs and ensure that productivity initiatives hit the bottom line;

Assess capital allocation policies including organic investments (e.g., research and development, capital expenditures , industrial biosciences initiatives), M&A, balance sheet efficiency and capital returns policies (increasing dividends); and

Improve the Company’s corporate governance practices including with respect to transparency of business performance and the alignment of the Company’s compensation programs with performance, and overall accountability for promised performance.

The Nominees each have a long history of working collaboratively and constructively in the boardroom. They each bring substantial experience, a diverse set of relevant skills and independent perspectives, and we selected them specifically for what we believe to be their ability to foster the boardroom dynamics that are required to unlock significant further value for ALL stockholders. If elected, the Nominees will work to assure management accountability, enhanced engagement and a robust dialogue in the boardroom. We urge stockholders to support us in this effort by voting “FOR” our Nominees.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

According to the Company’s Proxy Statement, 12 directors are to be elected to the Board at the 2015 Annual Meeting. The Trian Group recommends that stockholders elect Nelson Peltz, John H. Myers, Arthur B. Winkleblack and Robert J. Zatta as directors of the Company at the 2015 Annual Meeting. Each of our Nominees has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected and has further agreed, if elected, to abide by all policies of the Board as may be in place at any time and from time to time. If elected, the initial term of each Nominee will be until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified in accordance with the Bylaws. We have no knowledge of any facts that would prevent the determination that each of the Nominees is independent in accordance with the corporate governance standards of the Company and the pertinent listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.

The Trian Group believes good corporate governance requires that the Board be comprised of independent-minded directors, not tied to management, who bring a diverse set of relevant skills and experience to their board service. Accordingly, the Trian Group has proposed four highly qualified nominees who have the independence from management as well as the experience required to improve oversight in this underperforming company. Each of the Nominees has a successful business background with extensive financial knowledge and executive

experience. As a whole, the Nominees are operations-focused with a long track record of working with or as a part of management teams to improve financial results and protect and build stockholder value.

Biographical Information

Set forth below is background information about our Nominees and the Alternate Nominee, including their names, ages, principal occupations and employment and publicly company directorships held during the past five years, as well as a description of the qualifications, attributes or skills that led to the conclusion that the Nominees (or, if applicable, the Alternative Nominee) should serve as directors of the Company. Please see the section of this Proxy Statement titled “Information About The Trian Group and Participants” for additional information about our Nominees, including information about their beneficial ownership of Shares.

		his business career in 1963 when he joined his family food business. Mr. Peltz was recognized by The National Association of Corporate Directors in 2010, 2011 and 2012 as among the most influential people in the global corporate governance arena. Through Mr. Peltz’s 40 years of experience in investing, turning around and building companies, he has developed strong operating experience and strategic planning skills that will benefit the Company’s operational initiatives and its long-term strategic planning and its long-term strategy. We believe the attributes, skills and qualifications that Mr. Peltz possesses through his experience as a hands-on executive and active board member on numerous boards will provide the Company and its Board with valuable industry knowledge and management experience.

We believe that Mr. Myers’ qualifications to serve on the Board include the knowledge and experience he has gained while serving in various management positions for over 35 years with GE. In addition, he gained extensive leadership and financial experience while serving as President and Chief Executive Officer of GEAM and through his experience as a director of Legg Mason and as a former director of Hilton Hotels.

We believe that Mr. Winkleblack’s substantial executive experience, including his more than twelve years of service as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Heinz, provides him with knowledgeable perspectives on strategic planning, international operations, acquisitions and divestitures and cost and financial controls. In addition, we believe his experience as CFO of a large multinational company will enable him to bring important perspectives to the Board on performance management, compliance, risk management, public company reporting and investor relations.

Prior to joining Campbell Soup Company in 1990, he worked for General Foods Corporation and Thomas J. Lipton, Inc. We believe that Mr. Zatta’s extensive experience in the specialty chemical sector will allow him to bring valuable industry experience to the Board. In addition, Trian believes that the Board will benefit from Mr. Zatta’s expertise in operations, strategic planning, cost and financial controls and public company reporting, which he has developed through his experience as a senior executive at several global companies.

PROPOSAL 7: REPEAL CERTAIN AMENDMENTS TO BYLAWS

Pursuant to Section 8(i) of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 7, 2013 and Article VII of the Bylaws, the Board has the power to adopt, amend and repeal the Bylaws of the Company, by a vote of the majority of the whole Board, at any regular or special meeting of the Board, provided that notice of intention to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws in whole or in part shall have been given at the next preceding meeting of the Board, or, without any such notice, by the vote of two-thirds of the whole Board, in each case without approval by the stockholders of the Company. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Trian Group is not aware of any decision by the Board to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of the Bylaws since August 12, 2013 (the date of the Bylaws), but it is possible that, following the date of this Proxy Statement and prior to the adoption of this resolution, such an amendment could be adopted by the Board and/or become effective. Such an amendment could negatively impact the Trian Group’s ability to solicit and/or obtain proxies from stockholders of the Company or otherwise adversely affect the ability of the Company’s stockholders to vote on Proposal 1, and Trian would like to ensure that the Company’s stockholders have the ability to elect the Nominees and, if applicable, the Alternate Nominee, at the 2015 Annual Meeting.

Although adoption of this proposal could have the effect of repealing previously undisclosed Bylaw amendments without considering the beneficial nature, if any, of such amendments to the stockholders, it would not repeal any such amendments that were approved by the stockholders.

Proposal 7 provides for the adoption of the resolution in the following form:

RESOLVED, that each provision or amendment of the Bylaws of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (the “Company”) adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (and not by the Company’s stockholders) subsequent to August 12, 2013 and prior to the approval of this resolution be, and hereby is, repealed, effective as of the time this resolution is approved by the Company’s stockholders.

WE STRONGLY URGE YOU TO VOTE FOR PROPOSAL 7 BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING YOUR GOLD PROXY CARD TODAY IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE.

OTHER MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Based on information contained in the Company’s Proxy Statement, it is expected that the stockholders at the 2015 Annual Meeting will be asked to ratify the employment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the year 2015 to perform the functions assigned to in accordance with the Bylaws (“Proposal 2”). According to the Company’s Proxy Statement, it shall be the duty of the Company’s Audit Committee to employ, subject to stockholder ratification at each annual meeting, independent public accountants to audit the books of account, accounting procedures and financial statements of the Company for the year and to perform such other duties as prescribed from time to time by the Audit Committee. We are not making any recommendation on this matter.

The proposal requests the report, at reasonable expense and omitting proprietary information, be completed within one year of the stockholder meeting. We are not making any recommendation on this matter.

Based on information contained in the Company’s Proxy Statement, it is expected that the stockholders at the 2015 Annual Meeting will be asked to vote on a stockholder proposal (“Proposal 6”) requesting that the Board consider the following nonbinding proposal: That it create a committee, with members drawn from the employee work force of the Company, the union leadership of the Company, the management of the Company, and any necessary independent consultants, to report to the Board regarding (i) the impact to communities as a result of the Company’s action in laying off mass numbers of employees, selling its plants to other employers, and closing its plants and (ii) alternatives that can be developed to help mitigate the impact of such actions in the future.

(2) Trian Management GP is the general partner of Trian, which serves as the management company for each of the Funds. Trian Management GP is controlled by Nelson Peltz, Peter W. May and Edward P. Garden. Each of Trian, Trian Management GP and Messrs. Peltz, May and Garden, by virtue of their relationships to the Funds, may be deemed to have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to, and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) the Shares owned by the Funds.

The Shares held by certain of the Funds are held in commingled margin accounts with prime brokers for such Funds, pursuant to which margin credit may be extended to such Funds from time to time, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin account are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Shares described herein.

Mr. Winkleblack and Mr. Zatta each used their own assets to purchase the Shares they beneficially own. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, no part of the purchase price or market value of any of the Shares held by Mr. Winkleblack or Mr. Zatta is represented by funds borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring or holding such Shares.

Trian is a private asset management firm which beneficially owns Shares held in various funds and investment vehicles under its management and control, including but not limited to a fund for which Trian serves as the investment manager on behalf of the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (“CalSTRS”). The Trian Group expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of securities held by CalSTRS or any other person or entity other than, to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein, the securities held in the various funds and investment vehicles under Trian’s management and control. The securities reported herein as being beneficially owned by the Trian Group do not include any securities held by CalSTRS or any other person or entity other than the various funds and investment vehicles under Trian’s management and control.

Additionally, while there is no agreement, arrangement or understanding between any member of the Trian Group, including Messrs. Peltz and Garden, or any of the Nominees, and CalSTRS with respect to any of the proposals in this Proxy Statement, the Trian Group has consulted with CalSTRS in the past, and expects to consult with CalSTRS in the future, with respect to the Trian Group’s investment in the Company, including its goals to create value for the Company’s stockholders, and has delivered, along with CalSTRS, certain correspondence to the Company related to the creation of stockholder value. The Trian Group has also discussed with CalSTRS, and expects to discuss with CalSTRS in the future, Proposal 1 and Proposal 7 contained herein.

Each of Trian, Trian Management GP and Messrs. Peltz, Garden and May may be deemed to beneficially own over 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Legg Mason. As such, Legg Mason may be deemed to be an associate of each of Trian, Trian Management GP and Messrs. Peltz (a Nominee), Garden (the Alternate

Nominee) and May. According to the Forms 13F filed by Legg Mason and certain of its affiliates for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, Legg Mason may be deemed to beneficially own up to 4,772,141 Shares held by certain of its affiliates and related entities. Legg Mason’s address is 100 International Drive, Baltimore, Maryland 21202.

The Trian Group expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of all of the Shares beneficially owned by Legg Mason. The securities reported herein as being owned beneficially and of record by the Trian Group do not include any securities held by Legg Mason or any other person or entity other than the various funds and investment vehicles under Trian’s management and control.

Except as set forth in this subsection, no Participant, and no associate of any Participant, owns beneficially, directly or indirectly, or of record but not beneficially, any securities of the Company, or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, nor has any Participant purchased or sold any securities of the Company within the last two years.

Trian could also be considered to have a material interest in Proposal 1 and Proposal 7 by virtue of having agreed pursuant to the Director Nominee Consent and Indemnification Agreements to compensate Messrs.

Peltz, May and Garden is entitled to indemnification by each Trian Entity against certain liabilities and expenses arising from or in connection with certain matters relating to each such Trian Entity.

To the extent that the adoption of Proposal 7 could have the effect of counteracting any unilateral adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws by the Board that purports to impede the effectiveness of Proposal 1, negatively impact the Trian Group’s ability to solicit and/or obtain proxies from stockholders of the Company or otherwise adversely affect stockholders’ ability to vote on Proposal 1, Trian and the other members of the Trian Group could be considered to have a material interest in Proposal 7. Each member of the Trian Group intends to vote the Shares owned by it in favor of Proposal 7.

Solicitations may also be made by the Nominees and certain of the respective officers, partners and employees of Trian, none of whom will, except as described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, receive additional compensation for such solicitation.

Trian has engaged MacKenzie Partners, Inc. (the “Solicitation Agent”) in connection with solicitations relating to the 2015 Annual Meeting. The Solicitation Agent will receive fees to be mutually agreed upon by Trian and the Solicitation Agent based on customary fees for such services as they are provided, and reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for its services in connection with the solicitation.

Trian has agreed to indemnify the Solicitation Agent against certain liabilities and expenses in connection with the solicitation. Arrangements will also be made with custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding proxy solicitation materials to beneficial owners of all Shares held as of the record date. Trian will reimburse such custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.

The entire expense of soliciting proxies for the 2015 Annual Meeting by the Trian Group is being borne by members of the Trian Group. The Trian Group will not seek reimbursement of such costs from the Company. Although no precise estimate can be made at this time, Trian currently estimates that the total expenses that the Trian Group will incur in furtherance of, or in connection with, the solicitation of proxies for the 2015 Annual Meeting will be [•]. The actual amount could be higher or lower depending on the facts and circumstances arising in connection with any such solicitation. As of the date hereof, the Trian Group has incurred approximately $[•] of solicitation expenses.

BACKGROUND TO THE SOLICITATION

In late June, 2013, Trian first reached out to the Company regarding initiatives we believed would create stockholder value. Edward P. Garden, Chief Investment Officer and a founding partner of Trian, called Ellen J. Kullman, Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, to seek a meeting. Mr. Garden’s call was returned by Carl Lukach, Vice President of Investor Relations of the Company, who stated that Nicholas C. Fanandakis, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and not Ms. Kullman, would return the call. A few days later Mr. Fanandakis called Mr. Garden and a meeting was scheduled to be held in July 2013 after the Company’s quarterly earnings call.

On July 24, 2013, Mr. Garden, Matthew Peltz, a partner at Trian, and Brian Jacoby, a partner at Trian, met with management of the Company for the first time. Trian presented a “White Paper” describing its views on how the Company could improve its operating performance and provided hard copies of the presentation to the Company’s management team. As noted in the presentation, the Trian representatives explained that Trian is a long-term shareholder whose goal is to work constructively with management in a private manner to maximize shareholder value. The Trian representatives noted that Trian was one of the Company’s largest stockholders, and it was concerned about the Company’s long history of underperformance and believed that the Company’s conglomerate structure was destroying value by overwhelming management with complexity and resulting in

excessive holding company costs. The presentation explained Trian’s view that separation is a “means to an end” and would increase the probability that the Company would close the significant operating margin gap with peers (e.g., less bureaucracy, more focus, more accountability and elimination of holding company costs) and allow for a multiple re-rating. Trian’s presentation also included a summary of Trian’s financial model for the Company. Trian offered to meet again with the Company and/or its advisors at their earliest convenience to review the details and assumptions underlying Trian’s investment thesis.

On August 9, 2013, Mr. Jacoby called Mr. Lukach to follow up with Trian’s offer to assist the Company and its advisors in their review of Trian’s financial model and investment thesis. On August 13, 2013, Mr. Fanandakis spoke with Mr. Garden regarding a second meeting. He noted that the Company needed more time to review Trian’s materials and prepare for a second meeting because management had been preoccupied with preparation of the Company’s earnings release.

On September 18, 2013, a second meeting took place between the Company, the Company’s financial advisors and representatives of Trian, including Mr. Garden, Mr. Matthew Peltz and Mr. Jacoby. Trian again discussed its “White Paper” and financial model. Among other things, the parties discussed the deterioration in Danisco’s performance since its acquisition by the Company. The Company’s advisors challenged Trian’s analysis. However, Trian explained that it had used publicly available financial information to measure Danisco’s organic growth and profit margins both before and after Danisco’s takeover by the Company and provided the source material underlying its analysis. Based on the discussions held during the meeting, Trian became concerned that the Company’s financial advisors had not sufficiently reviewed Trian’s financial model.

On September 20, 2013 and September 30, 2013, representatives of Trian called Mr. Fanandakis and Mr. Lukach, respectively, to follow up and offer assistance with Trian’s model and to discuss the timeline for further dialogue.

Throughout early October, 2013, Trian made numerous attempts to establish a dialogue with Ms. Kullman and other Company representatives regarding Trian’s proposals for improving stockholder value. For example, Trian proposed a sub-committee or “all-hands” conference call to facilitate a comprehensive review of Trian’s “White Paper” if Ms. Kullman and Mr. Fanandakis were unavailable to meet with Trian. Trian also offered to send representatives to the Company’s offices in Delaware to engage again in person with the Company’s management and advisors regarding Trian’s model. On October 3, 2013, Mr. Lukach left a voicemail stating that a sub-committee call was a good idea and promised to send convenient times and dates. However, multiple calls were delayed or cancelled by the Company.

On October 10, 2013, Mr. Garden attempted to speak to Ms. Kullman but received an email from Mr. Lukach requesting that Mr. Garden only converse with Mr. Fanandakis. On October 14, 2013, Mr. Garden called Mr. Lukach and explained that Trian wished to speak to Ms. Kullman in her capacity as CEO and Chair of the Board and that if Ms. Kullman did not wish to speak to Trian, Trian would reach out to the Company’s Lead Director, Alexander M. Cutler.

During an October 15, 2013 telephone call among Mr. Garden, Ms. Kullman and Mr. Fanandakis, Mr. Garden reiterated Trian’s commitment to devote the necessary time for Trian to explain, and for the parties to debate, the details and assumptions behind Trian’s financial model and investment thesis. Mr. Garden also expressed an interest in working with the Company on a collaborative basis and avoiding a public confrontation with the Company. However the call was immediately terminated by Ms. Kullman and Mr. Fanandakis after Mr. Garden suggested that if common ground could not be found, one option that had not been discussed but that he wanted to “put on the table” was the possibility of adding Mr. Garden and a mutually acceptable industry executive to the Board. Following the October 15, 2013 call, the Company cancelled a scheduled October 16, 2013 call between the Company’s advisors and Trian to discuss Trian’s model. As a result, Trian determined that further communication would need to be directed to Mr. Cutler, the Company’s Lead Director.

On October 23, 2013, Mr. Jacoby emailed Mr. Lukach and asked to be included in an investor field trip to DuPont Pioneer on November 19, 2013 that was being hosted by Deutsche Bank. On October 28, 2013, Mr. Lukach sent the following email response to Mr. Jacoby: “Brian, in light of recent events, it would not be appropriate for you to attend.”

On October 25, 2013, Ms. Kullman and Mr. Fanandakis informed Mr. Garden that the Board had rejected Trian’s analysis and conclusions for improving operating performance outlined in Trian’s “White Paper” and that the Board would not consider him as a director.

On November 5, 2013, Trian and CalSTRS sent a letter to Mr. Cutler, voicing their concern that despite repeated attempts to engage in constructive dialogue over the prior four months, Trian had only two meetings with senior management and/or the Company’s advisors and only one of which included Ms. Kullman. The letter also expressed concern over the Company’s continued inability to meet its financial projections. Based on the lack of interaction with management, Trian requested a meeting with the Board to share such concerns.

On November 11, 2013, Trian received a letter from Mr. Cutler in which he stated that he would attempt to schedule a mutually convenient date for a meeting.

On November 15, 2013 Trian and CalSTRS sent a letter to Mr. Cutler in response to his November 11, 2013 letter, stating, among other things, that they believed that Trian had been constructive, respectful and patient in spite of the dearth of communication and an apparent unwillingness to engage on the part of the Company and reiterating that as large stockholders of the Company that they were highly motivated to see management and the various businesses that comprise the Company thrive. The letter also noted that Mr. Garden’s fundamental message on the October 15, 2013 call with Ms. Kullman and Mr. Fanandakis was that Trian wanted to avoid a public confrontation with the Company and that if Mr. Garden and a mutually acceptable industry executive joined the Board, Trian was prepared to rely on the “power of the argument” in the boardroom.

On December 10, 2013, representatives of Trian, including Mr. Garden, Mr. Matthew Peltz and Mr. Jacoby, and representatives of CalSTRS met with Mr. Cutler and Company management to discuss how to maximize value for Company stockholders. Trian distributed copies of discussion materials, which endorsed the Company’s decision to separate its Performance Chemicals business and proposed dividing the remaining conglomerate into two more logically assembled companies: “GrowthCo,” which would consist of the Company’s faster growing business segments, and “CyclicalCo,” which would consist of the Company’s reliable cash generating businesses. While Trian emphasized that it desired a collaborative solution, it also reiterated its suggestion that a Trian presence on the Board would be a reasonable alternative to ensure that stockholders’ views would be heard by the Board. Mr. Cutler asserted that the Board would hold the Company’s management accountable, and encouraged Trian to hold the Board accountable, if the Company failed to meet its stated operating targets. As a result of this meeting, and, in particular, because Mr. Cutler expressed confidence the Company would meet stated targets for growth in 2014, Trian determined not to submit a notice to nominate directors at the Company’s 2014 annual meeting.

On February 10, 2014, Trian and CalSTRS sent a letter to Mr. Cutler to share their analysis of the Company’s fourth quarter performance and 2014 guidance. The letter noted that Trian and CalSTRS were encouraged to hear from Mr. Cutler that the Board intended to hold management accountable for achieving operating targets and that Mr. Cutler believed that it was appropriate for stockholders to likewise hold the Board accountable for these same targets. However, the letter also expressed the concern that management would continue to miss promised performance targets and that the Board was not doing enough to confront the problems posed by the Company’s complex conglomerate structure.

On March 5, 2014, Mr. Cutler responded to the February 10 letter by noting his continued belief that the Company’s five year, long-term rolling growth targets of 7 percent revenue growth and 12 percent operating earnings growth are “both appropriate and achievable” and underscoring the Board’s full endorsement of management’s plan to achieve them.

On June 27, 2014, Mr. Garden, Mr. Matthew Peltz and Mr. Jacoby discussed with Ms. Kullman the Company’s announcement that it was lowering 2014 EPS guidance, which would result in the Company missing its initial guidance for the third year in a row. Trian stated that it could no longer be passive while management continued to falter operationally and again suggested that adding one of its principals to the Board would be a reasonable solution to avoid a public confrontation and ensure that stockholders’ views would be heard by the Board.

On August 6, 2014, Mr. Garden was advised by Mr. Cutler that the Company would not offer Trian a seat on the Board. Mr. Garden advised Mr. Cutler that Trian believed it was not a productive use of the Company’s time and resources to engage in a proxy contest and requested that the Company reconsider its position. On August 12, 2014, Mr. Cutler advised Trian that the Company had not changed its mind and that Trian’s proposal to add one of its principals to the Board had been unanimously rejected by the Board.

On September 16, 2014, Trian sent a letter, together with a summary of its proposed strategic and operating initiatives to the Board. The letter and the summary described the lack of open dialogue between the Company’s management and Trian, the Company’s record of underperformance and Trian’s view as to how the Company could improve stockholder value through improvement of the Company’s financial performance, which could best be achieved by separating its current conglomerate structure into parts. On September 17, 2014, Trian also made the letter and the summary publicly available.

On September 26, 2014, Nelson Peltz, Chief Executive Officer and a founding partner of Trian, called Ms. Kullman’s office in an attempt to set up a meeting. Mr. Peltz was subsequently informed that Ms. Kullman was traveling and was not available. Mr. Peltz sent a follow-up letter to Ms. Kullman on October 2, 2014 and called Mr. Cutler in an attempt to schedule a meeting with Ms. Kullman. Mr. Peltz’s assistant received a call from Mr. Cutler’s assistant on October 8, 2014 informing her that Mr. Cutler was travelling, but would call Mr. Peltz the following week.

On October 16, 2014, Mr. Peltz and Mr. Cutler spoke briefly by phone about the difficulty Mr. Peltz had been having in setting up a meeting with Ms. Kullman, but Mr. Peltz noted that a meeting date had now been set. Mr. Peltz and Mr. Cutler did not have any substantive discussions about Trian Board representation or other matters during the call.

On October 29, 2014, Mr. Peltz and Ms. Kullman met for the first time and discussed their views regarding the Company. In addition to focusing on the performance of the Company, they discussed Ms. Kullman’s sale of a substantial portion of her shares of DuPont stock and Trian’s exercise of its options for DuPont stock. In addition, Mr. Peltz formally requested representation on the Company’s Board for himself.

On November 14, 2014, Mr. Peltz was informed by Ms. Kullman that the Board had unanimously decided not to offer any Board representation to Trian. Mr. Peltz informed Ms. Kullman that, in his view, it appeared that the Board, in deciding not to offer Trian representation on the Board, had instead decided that it preferred to engage in a proxy contest.

On December 10, 2014, representatives of Trian, including Mr. Peltz, Peter W. May, President and a founding partner of Trian, and Mr. Garden, met with the Company’s financial advisors. Trian’s representatives tried to emphasize that they wanted to work out a constructive and collaborative solution, but that if the Company continued to ignore Trian’s suggestions it would have no choice but to go public with proposed nominees for the Board. The Company’s advisors communicated that the Board was “resolute” that it would not appoint any Trian nominees to the Board and instead preferred to engage in a proxy contest.

On January 8, 2015, certain members of the Trian Group delivered a letter to the Company informing the Company of their intention to appear in person or by proxy at the 2015 Annual Meeting to nominate the Nominees (and, if applicable, the Alternate Nominee) and to submit a proposal to repeal any amendments to the Company’s Bylaws adopted by the Board and not by the stockholders of the Company after August 12, 2013. On January 8, 2015, the Company issued a press release stating, among other things, that the Company’s Corporate Governance Committee (the “Committee”) would review the Trian Group’s proposed nominees and make a recommendation in the best interests of all stockholders.

On January 9, 2015, Trian submitted a request for certain stocklist materials and other books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

On January 14, 2015, a representative of Trian spoke with a representative of the Company regarding the Committee’s invitation (sent by letter dated January 13, 2015 to Trian’s outside counsel) to interview the Nominees other than Mr. Peltz. The Trian representative confirmed that the Nominees were generally available for interviews,

but expressed disappointment over the fact that the Committee did not want to interview Mr. Peltz because of their stated position that Mr. Cutler and Ms. Kullman had already spoken to Mr. Peltz and that the Committee was familiar with Mr. Peltz’s qualifications. Mr. Peltz had never met the members of the Committee and the Trian representative explained that Trian believed it appropriate for the entire Committee to meet with Mr. Peltz in order to gain additional insight into his qualifications to serve on the Board.

On January 25, 2015, each of the Nominees (other than Mr. Peltz) met with Ms. Kullman and Committee member Marillyn A. Hewson, in person, and Mr. Cutler by video conference. No other members of the Committee participated in such meetings.

On January 30, 2015, Mr. Peltz met with Ms. Hewson, in person, and Mr. Cutler by video conference. Prior to the meeting, a representative of Trian inquired as to whether the other members of the Committee would be available to participate, but was informed that Committee member Bertrand P. Collomb was in Europe and Committee member Curtis J. Crawford was in California and therefore neither would be able to personally attend the meeting. Trian’s representative was also informed that Mr. Crawford would not be able to attend the meeting via video conference.

On February 4, 2015, Mr. Peltz met with Ms. Kullman and Mr. Cutler. At the meeting, Ms. Kullman and Mr. Cutler offered to consider any one of the Nominees other than Mr. Peltz as an additional Board member, provided that the Trian Group would agree to withdraw its slate of nominees and support the Company’s nominees. They did not disclose their rationale for their unwillingness to consider Mr. Peltz as a Board member. Ms. Kullman and Mr. Cutler indicated that the Board was planning to announce the appointment of two new individuals to the Board. Ms. Kullman and Mr. Cutler told Mr. Peltz that if the Trian Group agreed to keep the identities of such individuals confidential for an unspecified period of time, the Company would share their names with Mr. Peltz. Mr. Peltz advised Ms. Kullman and Mr. Cutler not to share the names of the individuals with him.

On the morning of February 5, 2015, the Company announced that, effective immediately two individuals selected by the Company, Edward D. Breen and James L. Gallogly, would be appointed to the Company’s Board to replace two outgoing members who would be transitioning to the Board of Chemours. Later in the morning, Ms. Kullman and Mr. Cutler publicly released and delivered to Mr. Peltz a letter regarding the Board’s decision to appoint Messrs. Breen and Gallogly to the Board, rather than the Nominees.

Later that day, Trian issued a statement regarding the Company. Trian noted that the appointment of the two new independent directors was another positive development at the Company since Trian first became involved with the Company in March 2013, but that there was still much more value to be unlocked. The press release also noted that Trian is one of the largest stockholders of the Company and that, if elected, the Nominees, and specifically Mr. Peltz, would bring strong records of value creation, relevant operating expertise and new and different perspectives to the Board. Trian became a large stockholder of the Company because it believes the Company could operate at a substantially higher level. Appointing Trian’s Nominees to the Board would be critical to ensuring Trian’s proposals are thoughtfully considered by the Board.

On February 11, 2015, the Trian Group publicly filed its preliminary proxy statement and Trian launched www.DuPontCanBeGreat.com to provide stockholders with information about the 2015 Annual Meeting, the Nominees and Trian’s thesis for improving the financial performance of the Company. On the same date, Trian also issued an in-depth White Paper analyzing the Company’s underperformance and detailing initiatives that Trian believes the Company should take to improve financial and operational performance and corporate governance. Trian also sent a letter to stockholders discussing the Company’s track record of underperformance and the credentials of the Nominees.

On February 23, 2015, the Trian Group sent a letter to the Board requesting that the Company allow stockholders to use a universal proxy card to vote for directors at the 2015 Annual Meeting. The letter noted that a universal proxy card would allow stockholders to choose the best directors from among all candidates (rather than choosing between either the Trian slate or the Company slate), and would reflect best-in-class corporate governance by providing stockholders with maximum freedom of choice.

On February 27, 2015, the Company filed its preliminary proxy statement.

On March 3, 2015, the Company publicly released and delivered to Mr. Peltz a letter stating that the Board had rejected Trian’s request that the Company adopt a universal proxy card to elect directors at the 2015 Annual Meeting. Later that day, Trian issued a statement expressing disappointment at the Board’s decision to reject a mechanism that it believed would result in the election of the most qualified directors among the best of all candidates.

On March 11, 2015, Trian received a call from one of the Company’s largest stockholders who advised Trian that it was encouraging Trian and the Company to try and resolve the proxy contest so that the Company could avoid a costly and disruptive proxy contest. As a result of that call, Mr. Peltz contacted Ms. Kullman and requested an in-person meeting. Because of Ms. Kullman’s personal schedule, that proved to be impossible. Instead, a telephone call was arranged for that evening between Mr. Peltz, Ms. Kullman and Mr. Cutler. During that phone call, Mr. Peltz advised Ms. Kullman and Mr. Cutler that he had placed his initial phone call to Ms. Kullman shortly after Trian received the call from one of the Company’s largest stockholders encouraging both sides to resolve the proxy contest. Mr. Cutler advised Mr. Peltz that the Company’s previous proposal -- adding to the Board one Nominee other than Mr. Peltz (which Nominee would be selected by the Company) -- was still on the table. Mr. Peltz instead offered the following new settlement proposal: one of the Nominees and Mr. Peltz would be nominated to join the Board (and that these two new directors could be added to the existing Board so that no incumbent directors would have to resign). The other two Nominees would be appointed to the new Chemours board which is in the process of being formed in connection with the planned spin-off of Chemours later this year. In addition, Mr. Peltz advised Ms. Kullman and Mr. Cutler that the second part of the settlement proposal was that Chemours’ corporate governance be enhanced to eliminate various shareholder unfriendly provisions, including a staggered board and supermajority voting provisions. Mr. Cutler responded that he “didn’t think that [Trian’s proposal] was a big step” but that he and Ms. Kullman would present it to the Board. Later that evening, Ms. Kullman sent Mr. Peltz an email reiterating the Company’s earlier proposal -- one Nominee other than Mr. Peltz -- and stating that such proposal still provides a “sound path” to move forward. She further stated that Trian’s current proposal would be conveyed to the Board and that the Company would revert shortly after the Board met with a response.

On March 12, 2015, Mr. Peltz responded to Ms. Kullman’s email with the following email: “We are disappointed in your response to our proposal. After a discussion with and at the request of one of your largest shareholders, we were encouraged to propose a resolution that would avoid a costly and disruptive proxy contest. We suggested that I and one other Trian nominee be nominated for election to the Board and that our other two nominees be appointed to the board of Chemours, your performance chemicals segment which is being spun-off from DuPont and that Chemours' corporate governance be enhanced to eliminate various shareholder unfriendly provisions. While you have said that you will bring this proposal to your Board, your email does not evidence any enthusiasm for achieving a constructive resolution. Instead, you seem to be pushing your original proposal under which DuPont would nominate to the Board only one Trian nominee, other than me. Further, you have indicated that, under no circumstances, will you consider nominating me. Frankly, we fail to understand why DuPont is afraid of a Trian presence on the Board. With nearly a $2 billion investment in DuPont, we bring an ownership mentality and relevant operating experience into the Boardroom. Good information and analysis benefits management, all Board members and all shareholders -- and this is what we bring to the table. We are hopeful that the DuPont Board will accept our proposal and put an end to the wasteful expenditure of management time and stockholder funds that serves no purpose other than to keep off the Board well qualified stockholder nominees with a substantial economic interest in the company.”

On March 13, 2015, Mr. Peltz received a letter from Ms. Kullman and Mr. Cutler informing him that the Board has unanimously rejected Trian’s settlement proposal for resolving the proxy content.

OTHER PROPOSALS

Except for those proposals set forth under “Other Matters To Be Considered At The Annual Meeting” in this Proxy Statement, we are not aware of any other matters to be considered at the 2015 Annual Meeting. If, however, the Trian Group learns of any other proposals made at a reasonable time before the 2015 Annual Meeting, the Trian Group will either supplement this Proxy Statement and provide stockholders with an opportunity to vote by proxy directly on such matters or will not exercise discretionary authority with respect thereto. If other proposals are made thereafter, the persons named as proxies on the GOLD proxy card solicited by the Trian Group will vote such proxies in their discretion with respect to such matters.

Dear [______]:

This will confirm our understanding as follows:

You agree that you are willing, should we so elect, to become a member of a slate of nominees (the “Slate”) to be submitted by certain affiliates of the undersigned (the “Nominating Parties”), to stand for election as a director of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, a Delaware corporation (“DuPont”), in connection with a proxy solicitation (the “Proxy Solicitation”) which the Nominating Parties are considering and which would be conducted by the undersigned and certain other parties in respect of the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders of DuPont that is expected to take place in or about April 2015 (including any adjournment or postponement thereof or any special meeting held in lieu thereof, the “Annual Meeting”) or appointment or election by other means. You further agree to serve as a director of DuPont if so elected or appointed. The undersigned agrees to pay you a one-time fee of $100,000 (the “Fee”) promptly following receipt from you of the completed Questionnaire and the executed Consent (each as defined below). The undersigned also agrees, on behalf of its affiliated funds and investment vehicles, to promptly reimburse you for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses you incur in connection with the Proxy Solicitation, including reasonable expenses for travel requested by us in connection with the Proxy Solicitation.

You understand that it may be difficult, if not impossible, to replace a nominee who, such as yourself, has agreed to serve on the Slate and, if elected or appointed, to serve as a director of DuPont, if such nominee later changes his mind and determines not to serve on the Slate or, if elected or appointed, to serve as a director of DuPont. Accordingly, the undersigned is relying upon your agreement to serve on the Slate and, if elected or appointed, to serve as a director of DuPont. In that regard, you have been supplied with a questionnaire (the “Questionnaire”) in which you are to provide the undersigned with information necessary for the Nominating Parties to make appropriate disclosure to DuPont and to use in preparing the proxy solicitation materials to be sent to stockholders of DuPont and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Proxy Solicitation (the “Proxy Solicitation Materials”) and other public disclosures. You further understand and agree that you will be required to refund the Fee, and shall not be entitled to any further expense reimbursements, if at any time you indicate a refusal to serve as a member of the Slate or as a director DuPont, or if at the time of your election or appointment, your service as a director would violate any applicable law or regulation.

You agree that (i) you will promptly complete and sign the Questionnaire and return a copy to the person indicated in the Questionnaire, (ii) your responses in the Questionnaire will be true, complete and correct to the best of your knowledge in all respects, and you will promptly inform the

undersigned if you become aware of any changes that should be made to your responses as a result of any subsequent development and (iii) you will provide any additional information as may be requested by the undersigned. You acknowledge that the undersigned will rely upon your responses to the Questionnaire to make appropriate disclosure to DuPont and to use in preparing the Proxy Solicitation Materials and other public disclosures. In addition, you agree that, concurrently with your execution of this letter, you will execute and return to the person indicated in the Questionnaire the attached instrument confirming that you consent to being nominated for election as a director of DuPont and, if elected or appointed, that you consent to serving as a director of DuPont (the “Consent”). Upon being notified that we have chosen to include you as a member of the Slate, we may forward your Consent to DuPont, and we may at any time, in our discretion, disclose the Questionnaire (or a summary thereof) or the information contained therein, as well as the existence and contents of this letter. Furthermore, you understand that we may elect, at our expense, to conduct a background and reference check on you, and you agree to complete and execute any necessary authorization forms or other documents required in connection therewith.

You agree that you will hold in strict confidence and will not use nor disclose to third parties any non-public information relating to the Proxy Solicitation which is confidential or proprietary in nature (including the existence and contents of this letter, to the extent such information has not been publicly disclosed).

The undersigned agrees on behalf of its affiliated funds and investment vehicles that, so long as you actually serve on the Slate, the undersigned will defend, indemnify and hold you harmless from and against any and all direct, out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, awards, settlements, liabilities, costs and reasonable expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent contemplated below) (collectively, the “Liabilities and Expenses”)) incurred by you in the event that you become a party, or are threatened to be made a party, to any civil, criminal, administrative or arbitrative action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal thereof, (i) relating to your role as a nominee for director of DuPont on the Slate, or (ii) otherwise arising from or in connection with or relating to the Proxy Solicitation. Your right of indemnification hereunder shall continue after the Annual Meeting has taken place but only for events that occurred prior to the Annual Meeting and subsequent to the date hereof. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the undersigned is not indemnifying you for any action taken by you or on your behalf that occurs prior to the date hereof or subsequent to the conclusion of the Proxy Solicitation or such earlier time as you are no longer a nominee on the Slate or for any actions taken by you as a director of DuPont, if you are elected or appointed. Nothing herein shall be construed to provide you with indemnification to the extent the Liabilities and Expenses resulted from (i) you having been found to have engaged in a violation of any provision of state or federal law in connection with the Proxy Solicitation, unless you demonstrate that your action was taken in good faith and in a manner you reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of electing the Slate; (ii) you having acted in a manner that constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; or (iii) you having provided false or misleading information, or omitted material information, in the Questionnaire or otherwise in connection with the Proxy Solicitation. You shall promptly provide the undersigned with written notice of any third-party claims actually made against you or known by you to be threatened (along with any supporting documentations in your possession) if you intend to seek indemnification hereunder in respect of such claims. In addition, upon your delivery of notice with respect to any such claim, the undersigned, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to promptly assume control of the defense of such claim with

counsel chosen by the undersigned. If the undersigned does not elect to assume control of the defense of such claim, or if an actual conflict of interest would be created as a result of the same counsel representing both you and the undersigned, you shall have the right to employ your own counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to us, in which case we shall indemnify you for any out-of-pocket, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by such counsel in connection with such claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this letter, the undersigned shall not be responsible for any settlement of any claim against you covered by this indemnity without its prior written consent. However, the undersigned may not enter into any settlement of any such claim without your consent unless such settlement includes (i) no admission of liability or guilt by you, and (ii) an unconditional release of you from any and all liability or obligation in respect of such claim.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the undersigned shall not be required to indemnify you for any Liabilities and Expenses to the extent you have otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, by-law or otherwise) of such amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder. In addition, you shall be required to reimburse us for any indemnification payments made to you for any Liabilities and Expenses to the extent that you subsequently receive payment of such amounts from another source.

Each of the parties to this letter acknowledge that you are not acting as an agent or employee of the undersigned and you are not assuming any duties or obligations to the undersigned, other than those expressly set forth in this letter. You further acknowledge that the undersigned shall be under no obligation to nominate you for election as a director of DuPont. Each of the parties to this letter also acknowledges that, should you be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors of DuPont, all of your activities and decisions as a director will be governed by applicable law and subject to your fiduciary duties, as applicable, to DuPont and to the stockholders of DuPont and, as a result, that there is, and can be, no agreement between you and the undersigned that governs the decisions which you will make as a director of DuPont.

This letter shall automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the conclusion of the Annual Meeting (regardless of the outcome) or (ii) our communication to you of our intent not to proceed with the Proxy Solicitation, provided that the provisions contained in the last five paragraphs of this letter shall survive any termination of this letter.

This letter sets forth the entire agreement between the undersigned and you as to the subject matter contained herein, and cannot be amended, modified or terminated except by a writing executed by the undersigned and you. This letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. Each party to this letter hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this letter shall be brought in a New York State or Federal court located in New York City, and hereby expressly submits to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for the purposes thereof, and expressly waives any claim of improper venue and any claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum.

Dear [______]:

This will confirm our understanding as follows:

You agree that you are willing, should we so elect, to become a member of a slate of nominees (the “Slate”) to be submitted by certain affiliates of the undersigned (the “Nominating Parties”), to stand for election as a director of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, a Delaware corporation (“DuPont”), in connection with a proxy solicitation (the “Proxy Solicitation”) which the Nominating Parties are considering and which would be conducted by the undersigned and certain other parties in respect of the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders of DuPont that is expected to take place in or about April 2015 (including any adjournment or postponement thereof or any special meeting held in lieu thereof, the “Annual Meeting”) or appointment or election by other means. You further agree to serve as a director of DuPont if so elected or appointed. The undersigned agrees, on behalf of its affiliated funds and investment vehicles, to promptly reimburse you for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses you incur in connection with the Proxy Solicitation, including reasonable expenses for travel requested by us in connection with the Proxy Solicitation.

You understand that it may be difficult, if not impossible, to replace a nominee who, such as yourself, has agreed to serve on the Slate and, if elected or appointed, to serve as a director of DuPont, if such nominee later changes his mind and determines not to serve on the Slate or, if elected or appointed, to serve as a director of DuPont. Accordingly, the undersigned is relying upon your agreement to serve on the Slate and, if elected or appointed, to serve as a director of DuPont. In that regard, you have been supplied with a questionnaire (the “Questionnaire”) in which you are to provide the undersigned with information necessary for the Nominating Parties to make appropriate disclosure to DuPont and to use in preparing the proxy solicitation materials to be sent to stockholders of DuPont and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Proxy Solicitation (the “Proxy Solicitation Materials”) and other public disclosures. You further understand and agree that you shall not be entitled to any further expense reimbursements if at any time you indicate a refusal to serve as a member of the Slate or as a director DuPont, or if at the time of your election or appointment, your service as a director would violate any applicable law or regulation.

The undersigned agrees on behalf of its affiliated funds and investment vehicles that, so long as you actually serve on the Slate, the undersigned will defend, indemnify and hold you harmless from and against any and all direct, out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, awards, settlements, liabilities, costs and reasonable expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent contemplated below) (collectively, the “Liabilities and Expenses”)) incurred by you in the event that you become a party, or are threatened to be made a party, to any civil, criminal, administrative or arbitrative action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal thereof, (i) relating to your role as a nominee for director of DuPont on the Slate, or (ii) otherwise arising from or in connection with or relating to the Proxy Solicitation. Your right of indemnification hereunder shall continue after the Annual Meeting has taken place but only for events that occurred prior to the Annual Meeting and subsequent to the date hereof. Anything to the contrary in this paragraph notwithstanding, the undersigned is not indemnifying you for any action taken by you or on your behalf that occurs prior to the date hereof or subsequent to the conclusion of the Proxy Solicitation or such earlier time as you are no longer a nominee on the Slate or for any actions taken by you as a director of DuPont, if you are elected or appointed. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to provide you with indemnification to the extent the Liabilities and Expenses resulted from (i) you having been found to have engaged in a violation of any provision of state or federal law in connection with the Proxy Solicitation, unless you demonstrate that your action was taken in good faith and in a manner you reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of electing the Slate; (ii) you having acted in a manner that constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; or (iii) you having provided false or misleading information, or omitted material information, in the Questionnaire or otherwise in connection with the Proxy Solicitation. You shall promptly provide the undersigned with written notice of any third-party claims actually made against you or known by you to be threatened (along with any supporting documentations in your possession) if you intend to seek indemnification hereunder in respect of such claims. In addition, upon your delivery of notice with respect to any such claim, the undersigned, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to promptly assume control of the defense of such claim with counsel chosen by the undersigned. If the undersigned does not elect to assume control of the defense of such claim, or if an actual conflict of interest would be created as a result of the same counsel representing both you and the undersigned, you shall have the right to employ your own counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to us, in which case we shall indemnify you for any out-of-pocket, reasonable attorneys’

fees and expenses incurred by such counsel in connection with such claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, the undersigned shall not be responsible for any settlement of any claim against you covered by this indemnity without its prior written consent. However, the undersigned may not enter into any settlement of any such claim without your consent unless such settlement includes (i) no admission of liability or guilt by you, and (ii) an unconditional release of you from any and all liability or obligation in respect of such claim.

Each of the parties to this letter acknowledges that you are not assuming any duties or obligations to the undersigned as a result of this letter, other than those expressly set forth herein. You further acknowledge that the undersigned shall be under no obligation to nominate you for election as a director of DuPont. Each of the parties to this letter also acknowledges that, should you be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors of DuPont, all of your activities and decisions as a director will be governed by applicable law and subject to your fiduciary duties, as applicable, to DuPont and to the stockholders of DuPont and, as a result, that there is, and can be, no agreement between you and the undersigned that governs the decisions which you will make as a director of DuPont.

This letter sets forth the entire agreement between the undersigned and you as to the subject matter contained herein, provided that nothing herein is intended to amend, modify or alter any right (including any right to indemnification or reimbursement of expenses) that you may have under any confidential offering memorandum, partnership agreement or other organizational document of the undersigned or any of our affiliates or any fund or investment vehicle that we manage, or under any applicable insurance policy. This letter cannot be amended, modified or terminated except by a writing executed by the undersigned and you. This letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. Each party to this letter hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this letter shall be brought in a New York State or Federal court located in New York City, and hereby expressly submits to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for the purposes thereof, and expressly waives any claim of improper venue and any claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum.

Annex B

Two year transaction history of each Participant

The following transaction history shows those trades of the Participants in securities of the Company effected during the past two years. The Shares held by certain of the Funds are held in commingled margin accounts with prime brokers for such Funds, pursuant to which margin credit may be extended to such Funds from time to time, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin account are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Shares described herein. Except as otherwise noted in this Annex B, all transactions were effected in the open market.

*On the various dates set forth above, the named persons entered into a series of privately negotiated back-to-back call and put transactions (the “MS Options”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc (the “MS Counterparty”) through which they acquired beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 7,180,458 Shares and as a result are subject to the same economic gain or loss as if they had purchased the underlying Shares. More specifically, these transactions represent call options that expire on March 18, 2016 (the “MS Expiration Date”). Simultaneously with the purchase of each call option, each named person also sold a put option to the MS Counterparty for the same number of Shares pursuant to which, if on the MS Expiration Date the call option has not been exercised by the named person and the exercise price is greater than the closing price of the Shares on the MS Expiration Date (the “MS Closing Price”), the MS Counterparty may require the named person to, at such person’s election, either (i) pay the MS Counterparty an amount of cash equal to the product of (a) the excess of the exercise price over the MS Closing Price and (b) the number of Shares set forth above or (ii) acquire from the MS Counterparty the number of Shares set forth above at the exercise price. With the exercise of any call options, a corresponding number of put options are automatically terminated. As part of these transactions, each of the named persons pays the MS Counterparty a financing fee

based on the number of days that the MS Options that it holds are outstanding, which fee is calculated using a monthly rate equal to one month LIBOR plus a spread. Until they are exercised, the MS Options do not give any of the named persons any direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over the underlying Shares.

** On the various dates set forth above, the named persons entered into a series of privately negotiated back-to-back call and put transactions (the “BANA Options,” and together with the MS Options, the “Options”) with Bank of America, N.A. (the “BANA Counterparty”) through which they acquired beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 10,452,849 Shares and as a result are subject to the same economic gain or loss as if they had purchased the underlying Shares. More specifically, these transactions represent call options that expire on January 6, 2015 (or, in the case of the BANA Options held by Trian Onshore, July 2, 2015); provided that, the BANA Counterparty may, in its sole discretion, extend the applicable expiration date up to 540 calendar days after the initial expiration date by providing the requisite notice (as the same may be so extended, the “BANA Expiration Date”). Simultaneously with the purchase of each call option, each named person also sold a put option to the BANA Counterparty for the same number of Shares pursuant to which, if on the BANA Expiration Date the call option has not been exercised by the named person and the exercise price is greater than the closing price of the Shares on the BANA Expiration Date (the “BANA Closing Price”), the BANA Counterparty may require the named person to, at such person’s election, either (i) pay the BANA Counterparty an amount of cash equal to the product of (a) the excess of the exercise price over the BANA Closing Price and (b) the number of Shares set forth above or (ii) acquire from the BANA Counterparty the number of Shares set forth above at the exercise price.
