Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information: Certain statements contained in this release are "forward-looking statements," such as statements
concerning the anticipated financial results, current and future product performance, regulatory approvals, business and financial plans of the company and the
potential combined business of the company and Syngenta, including the expected benefits of a potential combination as well as whether a potential combination will
be entered into or completed, and other non-historical facts. These statements are based on current expectations and currently available information. However, since
these statements are based on factors that involve risks and uncertainties, the company`s actual performance and results may differ materially from those described or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, among others: continued competition in seeds, traits
and agricultural chemicals; the company`s exposure to various contingencies, including those related to intellectual property protection, regulatory compliance and the
speed with which approvals are received, and public acceptance of biotechnology products; the success of the company`s research and development activities; the
outcomes of major lawsuits and the previously-announced SEC investigation; developments related to foreign currencies and economies; successful operation of recent
acquisitions; fluctuations in commodity prices; compliance with regulations affecting the company`s manufacturing; the accuracy of the company`s estimates related
to distribution inventory levels; the recent increases in and expected higher levels of indebtedness; the company`s ability to fund its short-term financing needs and to
obtain payment for the products that it sells; the effect of weather conditions, natural disasters and accidents on the agriculture business or the company`s facilities;
the possibility that a potential transaction involving Syngenta will not be entered into or will be pursued on different terms and conditions, failure to obtain necessary
regulatory approvals or to satisfy any of the other conditions to a possible transaction, failure to realize the expected benefits thereof, or the impact of changes in
business, financial, market, legal or other conditions; and other risks and factors detailed in the company`s most recent periodic report to the SEC. Undue reliance
should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which are current only as of the date of this release. The company disclaims any current intention or
obligation to update any forward-looking statements or any of the factors that may affect actual results.
