CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
PROXY STATEMENT 2025 | Annual Meeting of Shareholders 30
Code of Ethics, Code of Conduct and Corporate Governance Guidelines
In accordance with applicable NYSE listing standards and SEC regulations, the Board has adopted a Code of
Ethics, Code of Conduct and Corporate Governance Guidelines.
Deferrals under Internal Revenue Code tax-qualified plans, such as a 401(k) plan, do not affect our current tax
deduction.
The Avient Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan is also subject to the rules of Code Section 409A, which
restricts the timing of distributions.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-08/willowwood-prosthetics-case-study.pdf
Insurance coding requirements for
this level specify that the prosthetic must allow no
energy return, or “push-off,” that would exceed patients’
ambulatory abilities.
And, the fiberglass solution did
not yield the “push-off” that would prevent the foot
from meeting K2 level coding requirements.
