Stockholders' Equity
NOTE 13 -STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Share Buyback Plan
On November 19, 2024, Corteva, Inc. announced that its Board of Directors authorized a $3 billion share repurchase program to
purchase Corteva, Inc.’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, without an expiration date (“2024 Share Buyback Plan”). The timing, price and volume of purchases will be based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors. In connection with the 2024 Share Buyback Plan, the company repurchased and retired 3,190,000 shares in the open market for a total cost (excluding excise taxes) of $250 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
On September 13, 2022, Corteva, Inc. announced that its Board of Directors authorized a $2 billion share repurchase program to purchase Corteva, Inc.’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, without an expiration date (“2022 Share Buyback Plan”). The timing, price and volume of purchases were based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors. The company completed the 2022 Share Buyback Plan during the second quarter of 2025 and repurchased and retired 7,815,000,17,909,000, and 10,026,000 shares in the open market and through privately-negotiated transactions for a cost (excluding excise taxes) of $500 million, $1 billion and $500 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Included within the shares repurchased during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $145 million and $125 million, respectively, of shares from the master trust fund of the principal U.S. pension plan, as part of the Pension Investment Committee's periodic portfolio rebalancing process. Shares were repurchased by the company at the prevailing market rate authorized and agreed to by a third-party independent fiduciary for the plan.
Shares repurchased pursuant to Corteva's share buyback plans are immediately retired upon repurchase. Repurchased common stock is reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity. The company's accounting policy related to its share repurchases is to reduce its common stock based on the par value of the shares and to reduce its retained earnings for the excess of the repurchase price over the par value. When Corteva has an accumulated deficit balance, the excess over the par value is applied to additional paid-in capital (“APIC”). When Corteva has retained earnings, the excess is charged entirely to retained earnings.
