The Chemours Company (CC - Free Report) , DuPont de Nemours Inc. (DD - Free Report) and Corteva assured their continued support for the Jun 30, 2023, agreement to address PFAS-related drinking water claims of a defined class of public water systems holistically.
On Dec 20, the notice administrator in the South Carolina aqueous film-forming foam multi-district litigation requested an extension until Jan 3, 2024, to file the list of public water systems that have opted out of the settlement class with the U.S. District Court for the district of South Carolina.
Per the agreement, the companies could elect for their walk-away rights by the number of class opt outs, up until this point. Chemours, DuPont and Corteva stated that they have enough knowledge of the process, and do not intend to exercise the walk-out option and extend support to PFAS Deal with the U.S. Water System.

The court convened a fairness hearing on final approval of the settlement on Dec 14, 2023. The companies await the court's final order and support final approval.
