[Corporate Strategy] DuPont, Chemours and Corteva Reach $455 Million Settlement of PFAS Claims with North Carolina — Paid Over 15 Years, Subject to Dismissal of the Litigation

Chemours, together with DuPont and Corteva, announced on 10 September 2026 a settlement with the State of North Carolina and 11 local entities near the Fayetteville Works facility. The entities had been excluded from the US public water system class settlement approved in 2024. The settlement resolves litigation over past PFAS and other discharges from Fayetteville Works, as well as the State's claims of PFAS contamination unrelated to that site, including from the use of AFFF. Payments total $455 million over 15 years, of which $18 million is attributed to alleged PFAS contamination unrelated to Fayetteville Works. Under the January 2021 memorandum of understanding (MOU), Chemours bears 50% and DuPont and Corteva the remaining 50%. Chemours' share is approximately $180 million on a net present value basis and is covered by existing accruals, according to the company. Chemours expects to pay about $50 million over the next twelve months. The settlement is subject to entry of dismissals of the covered litigation and is not yet final. It also acknowledges progress made under the 2019 Consent Order with the State.
