Spinoff timeline and distribution terms
The separation of Vylor is expected to be completed on October 1, 2026. Stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 24, 2026, will receive one share of Vylor common stock for every share of Corteva common stock held of record at that time. The distribution is expected to occur prior to 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on October 1, 2026. Corteva determined that there will not be when-issued trading in Vylor common stock or ex-distribution trading in Corteva common stock prior to the distribution.
Listing and trading details
Vylor common stock has been authorized for listing on the New York Stock Exchange. The stock is expected to begin regular-way trading on the exchange under the ticker symbol VYLR on October 1, 2026. The Form 10 filing includes details regarding the business, strategy, and priorities for Vylor as an independent entity and is available on Corteva's website.
Why it matters
The effectiveness of the Form 10 clears the regulatory path for Corteva to complete the spinoff of its seed and genetics operations into a standalone public company. The transaction shifts Vylor into an independent entity with its own listing on the New York Stock Exchange, while existing stockholders receive a direct equity stake in the newly formed business.
