特拉华州威尔明顿的。，Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --杜邦(NYSE: DD)今天宣布，其交换要约的最终交换比率将是:营养与生物科学公司(“N&B”)的0.7180股普通股换一股有效投标且未适当撤回并接受交换的杜邦普通股。此次交易是杜邦此前宣布与国际香料公司(NYSE: IFF)进行反向莫里斯信托交易的一部分。
交换后提供,任何按比例分配n和b股普通股股东资格杜邦,n和b将与敌我识别的子公司合并,成为敌我识别的全资子公司,和n和b的每股普通股将转换成一个敌我识别常见的股票。因此，在交换要约中投标杜邦普通股的杜邦股东，每接受交换的一股杜邦普通股，将获得约0.7180股IFF普通股(以现金代替零点股为准)。
杜邦普通股的最终计算每股价值和N&B普通股的最终计算每股价值，在每种情况下，按照2020年12月31日的招股说明书(“招股说明书”)中描述的方式确定，并应用招股说明书中描述的折扣将导致，若换股要约不包含上限，则换股比例大于上限0.7180。因此，上限生效，最终的换股比率设定为:以0.7180股N&B普通股换一股杜邦普通股。
除非终止或延长，否则交易要约将于纽约时间2021年1月29日晚上11点59分后1分钟到期。因此，在此之前，杜邦的股东可以按照招股说明书、转让函和交易所及转让信息手册中所述的程序，投标或撤回其持有的杜邦普通股。预计合并将在交换要约完成后立即完成。如招股说明书所述，交易须遵守惯例成交条件。
根据最终的交换比率，杜邦目前预计，如果交换要约被完全认购，并取决于在合并中发行的IFF股份数量，杜邦将接受约1.974亿股普通股进行交换。如果交换要约没有得到全部认购，杜邦接受的股份数量将少于这一数额。如超额认购，该换股要约将按比例计算，而接受换股要约的股份数目可能少于要约的股份数目。如果交换要约完成但未全部认购，杜邦将在清理剥离中按比例将剩余的N&B普通股分配给符合条件的杜邦股东。杜邦此前宣布，其董事会为清理剥离设定了一个创纪录的日期，即2021年1月29日关闭业务，如果交易要约延长或终止，该日期可能会进行调整。任何有效投标的杜邦股东，如果其所持的杜邦普通股在交易要约中被接受，将放弃并丧失其在清理分拆中获得N&B普通股的权利。
