WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) released the following statement after DuPont shareholders voted to elect all 12 DuPont nominees at its annual shareholders meeting today.
“For generations, DuPont has employed thousands of our neighbors, friends, and relatives while growing to become one of the world’s most successful companies,” said Senator Coons. "We’re proud of DuPont’s Delaware roots and Delaware identity, and today’s news of DuPont fending off the out-of-state proxy challenge is great news for Ellen Kullman, DuPont, and Delaware.
