PROHIBITED USES OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS Users shall not use Avient Information Systems for any of the following prohibited uses: • Any activity prohibited by applicable law; • Violating Avient Ethics and Corporate Policies; • Infringing on the intellectual property rights of another individual or company; • Soliciting for activities or products unrelated to Avient’s business interests in furtherance of an independent business; • Improper or unauthorized use of email and email distribution lists, including mass or unsolicited emails (such as chain letters) and forging email header information or signatures; • Exporting, transferring, downloading, copying, or saving Confidential Data or Information Systems to non-approved devices or locations; • Intentionally introducing security threats to Information Systems or effecting a Cyber or Data Incident; or • Engaging in any other activity similar to the above that, in Avient’s reasonable judgment, is disruptive to or not in the best interests of its business.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; • The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; • The current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows, including without any limitation, any supply chain and logistics issues; • Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; • Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; • Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; • Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; • Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; • Information systems failures and cyberattacks; • Amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; and • Other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 under Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” In addition, operating income before the effect of special items is a component of Avient’s annual and long-term employee incentive plans and is used in debt covenant computations. Senior management believes the measures described above are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to Avient's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure Avient's operating results due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude.

ZPT proved to be very effective in protecting TPEs, reducing Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli populations by 99.9% or more in JIS Z2801 testing and inhibiting fungal growth (rating = 0) according to the ASTM G21 standard. It can be seen in Table 2 that even at lower loadings (i.e., 1000–1500 ppm) ZPT was quite effective at limiting fungal growth; most experimen- tal groups demonstrated no observable growth (rat- ing = 0), whereas control samples (i.e., ZPT loading = 0 ppm) generally exhibited heavy fungal growth (rating = 4). Although statistical significance could not be determined, a large effect size (d > 1) as described by Cohen's d was observed for all treatment groups relative to their respec- tive controls.
