Debt Securities
UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT
May 12, 2025
Ladies and Gentlemen:
EIDP, Inc. (formerly known as E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell from time to time certain of its debt securities registered under the registration statement referred to in Section 1(a) (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued under the Indenture, dated as of May 15, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a supplemental indenture, to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below), between the Company and the Trustee (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). Particular series of the Securities may be sold to you and to such other firms on whose behalf you may act for resale in accordance with terms of the offering determined at the time of sale. The Securities involved in any such offering are hereinafter referred to as the “Purchased Securities.” The firm or firms which agree to purchase the same are hereinafter referred to as the “Underwriters” of such Purchased Securities, and the representative or representatives of the Underwriters, if any, specified in a Terms Agreement referred to in Section 3 are hereinafter referred to as the “Representatives”; provided, however, that if such Terms Agreement does not specify any representative of the Underwriters, the term “Representatives” as used in this underwriting agreement (this “Agreement”) with respect to the Purchased Securities that are the subject of such Terms Agreement (other than in Section 5(a)), shall mean each of the several Underwriters. The term “you” or “your,” when used with reference to any particular offering of Purchased Securities, shall refer to those of you who are Underwriters with respect to such Purchased Securities.
Section 1. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Underwriters with respect to each offering of Purchased Securities that:

Section 2. Representations and Warranties of the Company and the Underwriters. The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representatives, and each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and the Representatives, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Purchased Securities that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 (“Rule 433”) under the Act, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act, other than the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 4(i) of this Agreement and one or more term sheets relating to the Purchased Securities containing customary information and conveyed to purchasers of the Purchased Securities; provided that the prior written consent of the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of any free writing prospectus listed in the Terms Agreement. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Representatives or the Company is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an issuer free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 433, an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”) and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rule 164 and Rule 433 under the Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.
Section 3. Purchase and Offering. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Purchased Securities will be evidenced by an exchange of telegraphic or other written communications substantially in the form of Schedule I attached hereto (each, a “Terms Agreement”) at each time the Company determines to sell Purchased Securities. Each Terms Agreement shall incorporate by reference the provisions of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided therein, and shall specify the firms which will be Underwriters, the principal amount of Purchased Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter, the purchase price to be paid by the Underwriters and the terms of the Purchased Securities not otherwise specified in the Indenture, including, but not limited to, interest rates, if any, maturity, redemption provisions and sinking fund requirements. Each Terms Agreement shall also specify the time and date of delivery and payment for the Purchased Securities (the “Closing Date”) and any details of the terms of offering which should be reflected in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering of the Purchased Securities. Such prospectus supplement shall set forth the terms contained in the Terms Agreement and such other information that the Representatives and the Company agree at the time of execution of the Terms Agreement should be included in the prospectus supplement. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Purchased Securities shall be several and not joint. It is understood that the Underwriters propose to offer the Purchased Securities for sale as set forth in such prospectus supplement. The Purchased Securities will be issued in definitive or book-entry form in such denominations and registered in such names as the Underwriters request.
5
Section 4. Covenants of the Company. In connection with each offering of Purchased Securities, the Company covenants and agrees with the Underwriters that:
6
Section 5. Conditions. The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and pay for any issue of Purchased Securities hereunder will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company herein, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions precedent:
7
Section 6. Indemnification.

10
Section 7. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Purchased Securities under any Terms Agreement and the aggregate principal amount of Purchased Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of Purchased Securities, you may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Purchased Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments under such Terms Agreement, to purchase the Purchased Securities which such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate principal amount of Purchased Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur is more than 10% of the total principal amount of Purchased Securities and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company are not made within thirty-six hours after such default, such Terms Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 11. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. The foregoing obligations and agreements set forth in this Section will not apply if the Purchased Securities are being purchased pursuant to a “bought deal” which is identified as such in the Terms Agreement. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
Section 8. Termination. If Purchased Securities are being purchased pursuant to a “firm bid” which is identified as such in the Terms Agreement, such Terms Agreement shall be subject to termination in your absolute discretion, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Purchased Securities, if prior to such time there shall have occurred (i) any suspension or limitation of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange, or any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market if, in your judgment, the effect of any such suspension makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with solicitations of purchases of, or sales of, Purchased Securities; (ii) any banking moratorium declared by Federal or New York authorities; or (iii) any outbreak or escalation of major hostilities in which the United States is involved, any declaration of war by Congress or any other substantial national or international calamity or emergency if, in your judgment, the effect of
11
any such outbreak, escalation, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the sale of and payment for the Purchased Securities.
Section 9. Acknowledgements. The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Purchased Securities: (a) the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company, (b) the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and any Terms Agreement and (c) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty owed to the Company in connection with the offering of the Purchased Securities.
In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.
Section 10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Terms Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Purchased Securities, represent the entire agreement between the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package, and the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Purchased Securities.
Section 11. Survival of Representations, Warranties, etc. The respective representations, warranties, agreements and indemnities of the Company and the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or the Company or any of its officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Purchased Securities. If any Terms Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8 or if for any reason the purchase of the Purchased Securities by the Underwriters pursuant to such Terms Agreement is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 4(g) and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 6 shall remain in effect. If any Terms Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement or under such Terms Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement or under such Terms Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated such Terms Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the Purchased Securities.
Section 12. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 6 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.
12
Section 13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and it is not necessary that signatures of all parties appear on the same counterpart, but such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Agreement, if any, shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf,” “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.
Section 14. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.
For purposes of this Section, a “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k); “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b), (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b) or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b); “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable; and “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

13
exercise of UK Bail-in Powers by the relevant UK resolution authority, and acknowledges, accepts and agrees to be bound by
Section 16. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

* A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold securities and should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Each rating is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization.
** It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made to investors on or about May 14, 2025, which will be the second business day following the date hereof (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+2”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on any date prior to the business day before delivery of the Notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+2, to specify an alternative settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the Notes prior to the delivery of the Notes should consult their advisors.
The Company has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) and the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and other documents the Company and Corteva, Inc. have filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Company and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the Company, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying prospectus if you request it by contacting (i) BNP Paribas Securities Corp. toll-free at ###-###-####, (ii) Citigroup Global Markets Inc. toll-free at ###-###-####, or (iii) HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. toll-free at 1-866-811-8049.
