DuPont de Nemours Inc. (DD) has officially announced its plans to sell an 80.1% ownership interest in Delrin, a leading acetal homopolymer business. The sale will be made to TJC LP at a valuation of $1.8 billion.

Unlocking Value for Shareholders

As part of the transaction, DuPont will receive approximately $1.25 billion in pre-tax cash proceeds and a note receivable of $350 million. Additionally, the chemical giant will retain a 19.9% non-controlling common equity interest in the business.

The significant cash proceeds generated from the transaction will be strategically deployed in line with the company's priorities.
