Laird Performance Materials has a workforce of over 4,300 employees with a global network of 11 manufacturing sites in <span class=\"xn-location\">North America<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe<\/span>, and <span class=\"xn-location\">Asia<\/span> and 2020 revenues of <span class=\"xn-money\">$465 million<\/span>. Laird Performance Materials has consistently delivered high single-digit growth rates and highly attractive gross and adjusted EBITDA margins (~50% and ~30%, respectively). With strong growth and a best-in-class financial profile, Laird Performance Materials is aligned with DuPont&#8217;s strategic objective of shifting its portfolio increasingly towards differentiated products in attractive markets with long-term secular growth trends.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Ed Breen,\u00a0Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DuPont, stated, &#8220;The acquisition of Laird Performance Materials is a significant step in advancing DuPont&#8217;s strategy to grow as a\u00a0global innovation leader and premier\u00a0multi-industrial\u00a0company. Laird Performance Materials is a strategic and complementary addition to the Electronics &amp; Industrial (E&amp;I) business, and our applied material science expertise\u00a0together with\u00a0Laird Performance Materials&#8217; industry-leading application engineering capabilities\u00a0further strengthens DuPont as an essential partner for major electronics OEMs and manufacturers.\u00a0 We look forward to welcoming Laird Performance Materials&#8217; highly talented teams. \u00a0With an expanded global reach and proven operational and technical capabilities, I&#8217;m confident the combined E&amp;I team will deliver compelling revenue synergies and further accelerate our journey towards becoming a faster-growing and more profitable company.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The transaction brings together DuPont&#8217;s technology portfolio in films, laminates, and plating chemistry with Laird Performance Materials&#8217; electromagnetic shielding and thermal management solutions. With a best-in-class innovation and product portfolio, the combined organization will be a leader in rapidly growing advanced electronics applications supporting smart\/autonomous vehicles, 5G telecommunications, artificial intelligence, internet of things, and\u00a0high-performance computing. Strong capabilities in material science and application engineering along with an expanded customer base are expected to significantly increase customer speed to market, create new efficiencies in development of multi-functional solutions, and provide high value next-generation products that will deliver incremental revenue synergies over the next several years.\u00a0DuPont will be uniquely positioned to engage across value chains to address the increasingly complex challenges leading OEMs face in thermal management, signal integrity, miniaturization, power management, and reliability.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <span class=\"xn-person\">Shonnel Malani<\/span>, a Managing Director at Advent International, stated, &#8220;Laird Performance Materials is an outstanding business. Following a strategic refocus and investment in the company&#8217;s product offerings and talent, the business has achieved strong growth. We believe that DuPont will be an excellent partner for Laird Performance Materials. The combined organization will be ideally placed to provide customers with a unique and broad range of comprehensive and innovative solutions.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>DuPont expects to realize approximately <span class=\"xn-money\">$60 million<\/span> in pre-tax run-rate cost synergies by the end of 2024 with the majority realized in the first 18 months post-closing. The estimated one-time cost to achieve these synergies is approximately <span class=\"xn-money\">$40 million<\/span>. After adjusting for one-time costs and deal-related amortization, DuPont expects the deal to be accretive to its operating EBITDA margins, free cash flow, and adjusted EPS within the first 12 months and to achieve high single-digit ROIC by year five. The enterprise value multiple of the transaction is approximately 15x estimated 2021 EBITDA on a stand-alone basis and approximately 11x including cost synergies. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This transaction represents another strategic step forward in sharpening our focus and directing our investments towards high-value, high-growth opportunities.

In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;seek,&#8221; &#8220;see,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;would,&#8221; &#8220;target,&#8221; and similar expressions and variations or negatives of these words. <\/p>\n<p>On <span class=\"xn-chron\">April 1, 2019<\/span>, the Company completed the separation of the materials science business through the spin-off of Dow Inc., (&#8220;Dow&#8221;) including Dow&#8217;s subsidiary The Dow Chemical Company (the &#8220;Dow Distribution&#8221;).

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results. Some of the important factors that could cause DuPont&#8217;s actual results to differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) ability to achieve expectations regarding the timing, completion, integration, and accounting and tax treatments related to the proposed\u00a0 Laird PM Acquisition; (ii) the ability to achieve expected benefits, synergies and operating efficiencies in connection with the proposed Laird PM Acquisition within the expected time frames or at all or to successfully integrate the Laird Performance Materials business; (iii) ability to achieve anticipated tax treatments in connection with the N&amp;B Transaction or the DWDP Distributions; (iv) changes in relevant tax and other laws; (v) indemnification of certain legacy liabilities of EID in connection with the Corteva Distribution;\u00a0 (vi) risks and costs related to the performance under and impact of the cost sharing arrangement by and between DuPont, Corteva and The Chemours Company related to future eligible PFAS costs; (vii) failure to effectively manage acquisitions, divestitures, alliances, joint ventures and other portfolio changes, including\u00a0 meeting conditions under the Letter Agreement entered in connection with the Corteva Distribution, related to the transfer of certain levels of assets and businesses; (viii) uncertainty as to the long-term value of DuPont common stock; (ix) risks and uncertainties related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and the responses thereto (such as voluntary and in some cases, mandatory quarantines as well as shut downs and other restrictions on travel and commercial, social and other activities) on DuPont&#8217;s business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition which depend on highly uncertain and unpredictable future developments, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions resume; and (x) other risks to DuPont&#8217;s business, operations; each as further discussed in detail in and results of operations as discussed in DuPont&#8217;s annual report on Form 10-K\u00a0for the year ended <span class=\"xn-chron\">December 31, 2020<\/span> and its reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements.
