Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
In connection with the previously announced separation of Corteva, Inc. (the “Company” or “Corteva”) into two independent, publicly traded companies, one comprising its current crop protection business and the other comprising its current seed business to be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by Vylor Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Vylor”) (the “Separation”), Vylor commenced private offers to exchange (with respect to each series, an “Exchange Offer” and together, the “Exchange Offers”) and related consent solicitations (with respect to the EIDP Base Indenture (as defined below) and the applicable EIDP Supplemental Indenture (as defined below) governing a series of EIDP Notes, a “Consent Solicitation” and together, the “Consent Solicitations”) with respect to any and all of the outstanding 2.300% Senior Notes due 2030, 5.125% Senior Notes due 2032 and 4.800% Senior Notes due 2033, in each case issued by EIDP, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“EIDP” and such notes, collectively, the “EIDP Notes”), to the extent held by eligible holders, in exchange for new notes of the corresponding series to be issued by Vylor, in each case pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the exchange offer memorandum and consent solicitation statement dated August 6, 2026 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offering Memorandum”). Each Exchange Offer and related Consent Solicitation is conditioned upon, among other things, consummation of the Separation, which condition may not be waived, and receipt of the Requisite Consents (as defined below) to the Proposed EIDP Base Indenture Amendments (as defined below).
Concurrently with the Exchange Offers, Vylor, on behalf of EIDP, is conducting the Consent Solicitations to adopt (i) certain proposed amendments to the base indenture, dated as of May 15, 2020 (the “EIDP Base Indenture”), between EIDP and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”), which would eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and events of default (other than payment-related and bankruptcy-related events of default) from the EIDP Base Indenture (the “Proposed EIDP Base Indenture Amendments”), and (ii) certain proposed amendments to the supplemental indentures to the EIDP Base Indenture (each, an “EIDP Supplemental Indenture”), which would eliminate the offer to repurchase upon change of control provisions from the applicable EIDP Supplemental Indenture (the “Proposed EIDP Supplemental Indenture Amendments” and, together with the Proposed EIDP Base Indenture Amendments, the “Proposed Amendments”). Adoption of the Proposed EIDP Base Indenture Amendments required consents from the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all the EIDP Notes, voting as a single class (the “Requisite Consents”), and adoption of the Proposed EIDP Supplemental Indenture Amendments required consents from the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable series of EIDP Notes (the “Majority Consents”). As of August 19, 2026, Vylor had received, on behalf of EIDP, the Requisite Consents to adopt the Proposed EIDP Base Indenture Amendments and the Majority Consents to adopt the Proposed EIDP Supplemental Indenture Amendments with respect to each series of EIDP Notes.
On August 20, 2026, EIDP entered into a fourth supplemental indenture to the EIDP Base Indenture, dated as of August 20, 2026 (the “Fourth EIDP Supplemental Indenture”), between EIDP and the Trustee, amending the EIDP Base Indenture with respect to the EIDP Notes and each EIDP Supplemental Indenture with respect to the applicable series of EIDP Notes, in each case giving effect to the applicable Proposed Amendments. The Fourth EIDP Supplemental Indenture is effective and constitutes a binding agreement between EIDP and the Trustee. However, the Proposed Amendments with respect to each series of EIDP Notes will not become operative until settlement of the Exchange Offers, which is expected to occur substantially simultaneously with the consummation of the Separation. If the Exchange Offers are terminated or the Separation is not consummated, the Proposed Amendments will not become operative and the EIDP Base Indenture and each EIDP Supplemental Indenture will remain in effect without giving effect to the Proposed Amendments. The Fourth EIDP Supplemental Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Fourth EIDP Supplemental Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

amendments to the Base Indenture shall be deemed to be revoked retroactive to the date hereof.
Section 4.02. Reference to and

by this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, unless the context requires otherwise.
Section 4.03. Relation to Base Indenture and

In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Base Indenture, the applicable Supplemental Indenture and the terms and conditions of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, then the terms and conditions of this Fourth Supplemental
Indenture shall prevail.
Section 4.04. Ratification of Base Indenture. The Indenture, as supplemented by this Fourth
Supplemental Indenture, is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and this Fourth Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed part of the Base Indenture and the applicable Supplemental Indentures in the manner and to the extent herein and therein
provided. The rights, privileges, immunities, benefits, protections and indemnities provided to the Trustee under the Base Indenture shall apply to any action or inaction of the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder) in connection herewith,

possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
5
Section 4.08. Benefits of Fourth Supplemental Indenture. Nothing in this Fourth
Supplemental Indenture expressed and nothing that may be implied from any of the provisions hereof is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon, or to give to, any Person or corporation other than the parties hereto and their successors and
the Holders of the Notes of the applicable series any benefit or any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture or any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise or agreement hereof, and all covenants, conditions,
stipulations, promises and agreements in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture contained shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and of the Holders of the Notes of the applicable series.
Section 4.09. Counterpart Originals; Electronic Signatures. This Fourth Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture and of signature pages by
facsimile or electronic format (i.e., “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of
the original Fourth Supplemental Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or electronic format (i.e., “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) shall be deemed to be their original
signatures for all purposes.
Anything in the Base Indenture, the Notes or this Fourth Supplemental Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding, the words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in the Base Indenture or this Fourth Supplemental Indenture or in any other certificate, agreement or document related the
Base Indenture or this Fourth Supplemental Indenture 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,

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 4.10. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Fourth Supplemental Indenture shall
be deemed to be a contract made under the law of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of said State.

RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.
Section 4.11. Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of
its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural
catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted
practices in the banking industry to prevent and prepare for such disruption and to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.
6

accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies
each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties to this Fourth Supplemental Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the
Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act.

any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Company.
Section 4.14. Trust Indenture Act Controls. If and to the extent that any provision of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture limits,
qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by, or another provision included in the Indenture which is required to be included in the Indenture by any of the provisions of Sections 310 to 318, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act, such imposed
