FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this report, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating
to business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements may appear
throughout this report including, without limitation, the following sections: “Item 1. Business,” “Management's Discussion and
Analysis,” and “Risk Factors.” These forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words “believe,” “project,”
“expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will
be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations
and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-
looking statements. A detailed discussion of principal risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results and events to differ
materially from such forward-looking statements is included in the section titled “Risk Factors” (Part I, Item 1A of this Form
10-K). The Dow Chemical Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements
whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by securities and other applicable laws.
