Ed and Jim will bring their deep expertise and business acumen to an already highly distinguished DuPont Board as we continue the transformation of the company to deliver strong, sustainable growth and shareholder value.
DuPont's current Board and management team have a well-documented record of taking decisive action since 2009 and continue to execute on a transformative strategy that has delivered clear results, many of which were initiated or executed long before Trian's investment. This strategy has delivered results.
Rest assured that, notwithstanding Trian's proxy fight, DuPont's Board and management team will continue to execute on our strategic plan and deliver the best possible results for shareholders.
