The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW) today announced the U.S. Treasury reference security yield to maturity for its previously announced cash tender offers for certain notes issued by Dow and its subsidiary Rohm and Haas Company.

As of 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 13, 2013, the reference security yield to maturity, based on the bid-side price of the U.S. Treasury reference security listed in the table below, was as follows:

The reference security yield to maturity will be used to determine the consideration paid for the notes that are validly tendered at or prior to the early tender time (as defined below) or the expiration time (as defined below), as applicable, and accepted for purchase in the offers.

Based on the terms of the tender offers, Dow determined the tender yields, total consideration, tender offer consideration and accrued interest per $1,000 principal amount of the notes as follows:

__________

(1) Based on an early settlement date of November 18, 2013.

The tender offers expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on November 27, 2013, unless extended (the "expiration time"). Holders who have not already tendered their notes may continue to do so at any time prior to the expiration time. Holders who validly tender and do not withdraw their notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 13, 2013 (the "early tender time"), and whose notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offers, will be entitled to receive the total consideration, which includes an early tender amount of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of notes (the "early tender amount"). Holders who do not tender their notes by the early tender time may continue to do so at any time prior to the expiration time, but such holders will not be entitled to receive the early tender amount and may not have any of their notes accepted for purchase if the tender offers are oversubscribed as of the early tender time. No notes may be withdrawn from the tender offers after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 13, 2013, except as required by law.
