DuPont and Dow to merge
A more recent one sees the news that DuPont and The Dow Chemical Company are to merge and the combined company will be called DowDuPont.
They intend to separate DowDuPont into three independent, publicly traded companies through tax-free spin-offs.
Separation of DowDuPont would be expected 18-24 months following the closing of the merger which is previewed for the second half of 2016.
