Share Repurchase Program
In November 2022, DuPont’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase and retirement of up to $5 billion of common stock (the “$5B Share Buyback Program").

In the third quarter of 2023, DuPont entered into new accelerated share repurchase agreements with three financial counterparties to repurchase an aggregate of $2 billion of common stock ("$2B ASR Transaction"). DuPont paid an aggregate of $2 billion to the counterparties and received initial deliveries of 21.2 million shares in aggregate of DuPont common stock, which were retired immediately and recorded as a reduction to retained earnings of $1.6 billion. In the first quarter of 2024, the $2B ASR Transaction was completed. The settlement resulted in the delivery of 6.7 million additional shares of DuPont common stock, which were retired immediately and recorded as a reduction of retained earnings of $426 million. In total, the Company repurchased 27.9 million shares at an average price of $71.67 per share under the $2B ASR Transaction. The completion of the $2B ASR Transaction effectively completed the $5B Share Buyback Program and the Company's stock repurchase authorization.

In the first quarter 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase and retirement of up to $1 billion of common stock (“the $1B Share Buyback Program”). Under the $1B Share Buyback Program, repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions off market, including additional ASR agreements in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. The $1B Share Buyback Program terminates on June 30, 2025, unless extended or shortened by the Board of Directors. In the first quarter 2024, DuPont entered into an ASR agreement with one counterparty for the repurchase of $500 million of common stock ("Q1 2024 ASR Transaction"). DuPont paid an aggregate of $500 million to the counterparty and received initial deliveries of 6.0 million shares of DuPont common stock, which were retired immediately and recorded as a reduction of retained earnings of $400 million. The remaining $100 million was evaluated as an unsettled forward contract indexed to DuPont common stock, classified within stockholders' equity as of March 31, 2024.

In the second quarter of 2024, the Q1 2024 ASR Transaction was completed. The settlement resulted in the delivery of approximately 1.0 million additional shares of DuPont common stock, which were retired immediately and recorded as a reduction of retained earnings of $72 million. In total, the Company repurchased 6.9 million shares at an average price of $71.96 per share under the Q1 2024 ASR Transaction.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 introduced a 1 percent nondeductible excise tax imposed on the net value of certain stock repurchases. The net value is determined by the fair market value of the stock repurchased during the tax year, reduced by the fair market value of stock issued during the tax year. The Company recorded total excise tax of zero and $9 million as a reduction to retained earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The recorded excise tax is reflected within stockholders' equity and a corresponding liability within "Accounts Payable" in the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2024.
