# Corteva wins Fourth Circuit reversal; Vylor spinoff distribution set for Oct 1 after California injunction denied

## Summary
- Fourth Circuit summarily reversed the District Court's order denying California leave to seek a TRO; on remand the District Court denied California's motion to enjoin the Separation.
- The Court of Appeals expressed no view on the merits and denied California's request for an injunction pending appeal as moot.
- Corteva's board waived the Legal Restraints Condition effective Sept 30, 2026, to the extent unmet solely due to a potential governmental order blocking the Distribution.
- Distribution expected completed before 9:30 a.m. New York City time on Oct 1, 2026: pro rata dividend of Vylor Inc. common stock on each Corteva share held as of the Sept 24, 2026 record date.
- Corteva's board approved the Separation on Sept 12, 2026, spinning off its seed operating segment into independent, publicly traded Vylor Inc.
