Payments of about $355 million on a net present value basis will be made over 15 years, with Chemours responsible for 50%, or about $180 million, while DuPont and Corteva will be responsible for the remaining 50%, the companies said. Chemours said it expects its share of payments over the next 12 months to be about $50 million. DuPont said the pre-tax present value of its share is roughly $126 million, of which 44% shall be reimbursed by Qnity Electronics (Q).
