This Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D, filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1
of the Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act") by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, a Delaware
corporation ("DuPont"), and Du Pont Chemical and Energy Operations, Inc.
("DCEO"), amends the Schedule 13D filed by DuPont on August 18, 1997, as
amended on September 29, 1997, February 2, 1998, and March 17, 1999. This
is the final amendment to Schedule 13D and it is filed for informational
purposes.
On October 1, 1999, Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., an Iowa
corporation ("Pioneer"), merged with and into Delta Acquisition Sub, Inc.,
an Iowa corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of DuPont ("Merger Sub")
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement"), dated
March 15, 1999, as amended. Upon consummation of the merger, Merger Sub,
renamed Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., survived as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of DuPont.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of
Pioneer, par value $1.00 per share ("Pioneer Common Stock"), was converted
into either a fraction of DuPont common stock, par value $0.30 per share
("DuPont Common Stock"), with a value of $40, as determined pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, or $40 in cash, subject to the limitation that
approximately 45% of the total consideration paid by DuPont in respect of
shares held by Pioneer shareholders other than DuPont was in cash and
approximately 55% of such consideration was in DuPont Common Stock.
