DowDuPont Merger of Equals

Dow and DuPont today announced the two companies would combine in a merger of equals. DowDuPont, the merged business, will then be split into three independent publicly traded companies; agriculture, material science, and speciality products.

The company's leadership, Andrew Liveris from Dow and Ed Breen from DuPont, say the projected market value of the merger is $30 billion dollars, with about a billion dollars worth of growth synergies achieved by the merger itself. Market capitalization of the new DowDuPont is $130 billion dollars.

Most current shareholders will each own approximately 50 percent of the combined company.
