Corteva 8-K, filed Oct 13, 2026

Summary

Fifteen states and one sovereign sued Corteva on October 1, 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, challenging the completed separation of Corteva and Vylor Inc. into two independent, publicly traded companies and seeking injunctive relief. The District Court issued a temporary restraining order on October 9 that barred Corteva and subsidiary EIDP, Inc. from disposing of assets outside the ordinary course and barred dividend payments and share repurchases, then stayed that order on October 10 at Corteva's request while Corteva, Vylor and EIDP pursue an emergency stay motion and appeal at the Seventh Circuit; Corteva contests the legal and factual bases of the claims and says it will defend vigorously.

Key points

• The temporary restraining order was issued October 9, 2026 and stayed October 10, 2026, and is not in effect pending resolution of Corteva's emergency motion at the Seventh Circuit.
• The order does not affect completion of the separation, which occurred October 1, 2026.
• In granting the stay, the District Court relied on Corteva's representation that it did not intend to declare dividends or repurchase shares while the motion is pending appellate review.
• Corteva, Vylor and EIDP filed a notice of appeal of the order with the Seventh Circuit along with the stay motion; both remain pending.
