statements&quot; within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In this context, forward-looking statements often address
expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as &quot;expect,&quot;
&quot;anticipate,&quot; &quot;intend,&quot; &quot;plan,&quot; &quot;believe,&quot; &quot;seek,&quot; &quot;see,&quot; &quot;will,&quot;
&quot;would,&quot; &quot;target,&quot; similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. Forward-looking statements
by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements about the consummation of the proposed
transaction and the anticipated benefits thereof. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are
based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events which may not be realized. Forward-looking statements also involve
risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the company's control. Some of the important factors that could cause the company's
actual results to differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements are: fluctuations in energy and
raw material prices; failure to develop and market new products and optimally manage product life cycles; ability to respond to
market acceptance, rules, regulations and policies affecting products based on biotechnology and, in general, for products for
the agriculture industry; outcome of significant litigation and environmental matters, including realization of associated indemnification
assets, if any; failure to appropriately manage process safety and product stewardship issues; changes in laws and regulations
or political conditions; global economic and capital markets conditions, such as inflation, interest and currency exchange rates;
business or supply disruptions; security threats, such as acts of sabotage, terrorism or war, natural disasters and weather events
and patterns which could affect demand as well as availability of products for the agriculture industry; ability to protect and
enforce the company's intellectual property rights; and successful integration of acquired businesses and separation of underperforming
or non-strategic assets or businesses. The company undertakes no duty to publicly revise or update any forward-looking statements
as a result of future developments, or new information or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required
by securities and other applicable laws.</FONT></P>
