On January 9, 2011, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”) announced that DuPont and its wholly-owned subsidiary, DuPont Denmark Holding ApS (the “Acquisition Subsidiary”), entered into a definitive agreement with Danisco A/S (“Danisco”), for the Acquisition Subsidiary to make a public tender offer for all of Danisco’s outstanding shares at a price of DKK 665 in cash per share.

 

On April 29, 2011, DuPont, through the Acquisition Subsidiary, announced that it made the following changes to the public tender offer:

 

·                  it increased the price of its tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Danisco to DKK 700 in cash per share;

·                  the tender offer period has been extended to 11 p.m. CEST (5 p.m. EDT) on May 13, 2011; and

·                  it has exercised its right to reduce the minimum number of shares required to be tendered to 80% from 90% in order to close the tender offer.

 

All other terms and conditions of the public tender offer remain unchanged. This Current Report does not constitute an offer or invitation to purchase any securities or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, pursuant to the tender offer or otherwise. The tender offer is being made solely by means of the offer document and the documents accompanying the offer document, which contain the full terms and conditions of the tender offer, including details of how the tender offer may be accepted.
