Board Tenure • The Board annually assesses its effectiveness through a robust evaluation process In addition, the Lead Director discusses overall Board effectiveness with each individual Director on an annual basis. Further, the Board annually assesses its effectiveness through a robust evaluation process, as described above.

To minimize the effect of molded-in stress (at the gate) on part performance, the gate should be located in noncritical areas of the part. Overmolded parts will take longer to cool because they can be effectively cooled over a smaller surface area. Effects of Molding Conditions If a part is molded at too low a temperature, it will require excessive pressure to fill the cavity.

The low usage rate, low minimum order quantities, and pelletized form for easy handling and storage make it a versatile and cost-effective choice. They are suitable for use with a wide range of polymers at the addition rates recommended in the table below: These low let-down ratios effectively reduce the overall cost to color. The range of world- class services includes: COLOR TECHNOLOGY Custom matching, saturated colors & special effects to fill market niches and eliminate secondary operations.

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 • Our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the acquisition of Clariant’s Masterbatch business, including any expected synergies; • 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; • An inability to achieve the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to acquisition and integration working capital reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals; • Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; • Information systems failures and cyberattacks; • Our ability to consummate and successfully integrate acquisitions; • Amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may
