Executive Summary
Corteva reports that the Fourth Circuit summarily reversed the district court's denial of California's motion to delay the separation of its seed segment into Vylor Inc. On remand, the district court denied California's motion to enjoin the separation. The board waived the legal restraints condition, and the distribution is expected to be completed before 9:30 a.m. on October 1, 2026 — effectively clearing the final legal hurdle for the spin-off.
