Corteva's subsidiary EIDP entered a supplemental indenture on August 20, 2026, that removes most restrictive covenants and events of default from its notes, with the changes taking effect only when Vylor's exchange offers settle alongside the separation. The filing says the amendments were approved by the required majority of noteholders as of August 19, 2026, and would not take effect if the separation is not completed.
- On August 20, 2026, EIDP entered a fourth supplemental indenture with U.S. Bank Trust Company as trustee.
- The proposed amendments would eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants and events of default, other than payment and bankruptcy-related defaults.
- Vylor received the required consents from noteholders as of August 19, 2026; the amendments become operative only at settlement of the exchange offers, expected alongside the separation.
