`application and exhibits, a copy of which is hereunto annexed and made a part hereof, and the various
`requirements of law in such cases made and provided have been complied with, and the title thereto is,
`from the records of the PLANT VARIETY PROTECTION OFFICE, in the applicant(s) indicated in the said copy,
`and whereas, upon due examination made, the said applicant(s) is (are) adjudged to be entitled to a
`certificate of plant variety protection under the law.
`
`Now, therefore, this certificate of plant variety protection is to grant unto the said applicant(s) and the
`successors, heirs or assigns of the said applicant(s) for the term of TWENTY years from the date of this
`grant, subject to the payment of the required fees and periodic replenishment of viable germplasm material
`of the variety in a public repository as provided by law, the right to exclude others from selling the variety,
`or offering it for sale, or reproducing it, or importing it, or exporting it, or conditioning it for propagation,
`or stocking it for any of the above purposes, or using it in producing a hybrid or different variety there
`from, to the extent provided by the PLANT VARIETY PROTECTION ACT. (84 STAT. 1542, AS

`
`Exhibit A - Origin and Breeding History
`
`1. Genealogy (back to and including public and commercial varieties, lines, or clones used) and the breeding
`method(s).
`PH47K2 is an elite corn inbred line originated from a cross between inbred line PH1D84 (PVP Certificate No.
`201200313) and inbred line PH12K5 (PVP Certificate No. 200900475). The cross took place in New Holland,
`Pennsylvania in 2009. From this cross, ears were selected based on genetic analysis predicting disease, insect, and
`agronomic performance. Varieties PH1D84 and PH12K5 are proprietary inbred lines of Pioneer Hi-Bred International,
`Inc.
`2. Give the details of subsequent stages of selection and multiplication.
`PH47K2 was developed by producing a doubled haploid from the F1 plants, selfing and using pedigree selection
`amongst the D1 lines, and selfing and bulking from the subsequent generations. Final developmental selections were
`made approximately the 5th genereation in 2014 when the inred line was determined to be uniform and stable.
`3. Is the variety uniform?
`Yes
`How did you test for uniformity?
`Field trials were grown and observed for uniformity and stability over a minimum of 5 generations, with one or
`more environments in each generation. Genetic purity testing was used in the purification process.
`4. Is the variety stable?
`Yes
`How did you test for stability? Over how many generations?
`Field trials were grown and observed for uniformity and stability over a minimum of 5 generations, with one or
`more environments in each generation. Genetic purity testing was used in the purification process.
`5. Are genetic variants observed or expected during reproduction and multiplication?
`No

`
`1. Does the applicant own all rights to the variety?
`Yes
`2. Is the applicant a U.S. national or a U.S. based entity?
`Yes
`3. Is the applicant the original owner?
`Yes
`
`4. Additional explanation on ownership (Trace ownership from original breeder to current owner):
`
`PLEASE NOTE:
`
`Plant variety protection can only be afforded to the owners (not licensees) who meet the following criteria:
`
`If the rights to the variety are owned by the original breeder, that person must be a U.S. national, national of a UPOV
`member country, or national of a country which affords similar protection to nationals of the U.S. for the same genus and
`species.
`If the rights to the variety are owned by the company which employed the original breeder(s), the company must be U.S.
`based, owned by nationals of a UPOV member country, or owned by nationals of a country which affords similar
`protection to nationals of the U.S. for the same genus and species.
`If the applicant is an owner who is not the original owner, both the original owner and the applicant must meet one of the
`above criteria.
`
`The original breeder/owner may be the individual or company who directed the final breeding. See Section 41(a)(2) of the
`Plant Variety Protection Act for definitions.
