DuPont files new investor presentation opposing Trian break-up proposal
DuPont (NYSE:DD) on 6 April announced that it has filed a new investor presentation with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with the Company’s 13 May 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The presentation is available under the shareholder materials section of www.dupontdelivers.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
The presentation highlights the growth of DuPont’s ongoing, post-spin business, demonstrating the strength of the next generation DuPont. The ongoing business has delivered 6% segment sales growth and a 19% adjusted operating EPS compound annual growth rate since 31 December 2008. In addition, the Company’s segment adjusted operating margin has improved 740 basis points.
The presentation also outlines DuPont’s strong and consistent track record of superior performance; its strategy to grow leading positions in three areas of strategic focus; and the qualifications of its world- class board of directors to drive higher growth and higher value for our shareholders.
In addition, the presentation illustrates in greater depth why DuPont’s board unanimously opposes Trian’s efforts to replace four highly accomplished directors in order to advance its high-risk, high-cost breakup agenda, which the board has unanimously determined would be value-destructive and not in the best interests of shareholders.
