Section 8 - Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On September 23, 2019, Dow Inc. (“Dow” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the Court of the Queen’s Bench in Alberta, Canada, has signed a judgment ordering Nova Chemicals Corporation to pay certain Dow subsidiaries CAD $1.43 billion (equivalent to approximately USD $1.08 billion) on October 11, 2019, for damages Dow incurred through 2012 related to the companies’ jointly-owned ethylene asset in Joffre, Alberta, Canada.

The judgment is subject to appeal. Dow expects to record an accounting gain related to a portion of this judgment in the third quarter of 2019, which the Company expects to treat as a significant non-recurring item when calculating non-GAAP financial measures, including operating earnings per share.

A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
