EXPLANATORY NOTE

E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (the “company” or “DuPont”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K (the “Amended Report”) to amend its annual report for fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 (the “Original Report”) to correct the S&P 500 and Peer Group information shown in its Stock Performance Graph in Item 5 in the company’s Original Report, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 19, 2008. This adjustment is due to inadvertent error in certain calculations. The Amended Report does not otherwise affect DuPont’s Original Report. The Amended Report continues to speak as of the date of the Original Report and should be read in conjunction with the Original Report.

As required by Rule 12b-15, DuPont’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are providing Rule 13a-14(a) certifications in connection with this Form 10-K/A. Since financial statements are not contained in the Amended Report, the company is not furnishing Rule 13a-14(b) certifications in connection with this Form 10-K/A.
