The $43M liability is already booked, so this filing does not introduce new financial exposure. The finalization of the settlement removes a key uncertainty around legacy PFAS liabilities, which is a modest positive. Monitor for any future settlements that could increase Qnity's indemnification obligations under the MOU framework.

Executive Summary
Qnity Electronics disclosed a $43 million indemnification liability related to a PFAS settlement agreement entered into by DuPont, Chemours, and Corteva with the State of North Carolina. The liability, established in Q2 2026, represents Qnity's 44% contractual share of DuPont's after-tax liability for the settlement. This is a known, quantified liability that has already been recognized, but the filing confirms the settlement is now finalized, removing some legal overhang for Qnity's legacy exposure.
