They wanted to transition from metal to a polymer-based, two-component handle that would deliver: • scratch and chemical resistance • excellent mechanical properties • a grippy, soft-touch feel To support the transition, Victorinox sought our help based on its expertise in polymer science and ability to support product development and efficient manufacturing of the new two-component handles.

These materials also offer a sustainability benefit through a reduced carbon footprint because PK base resin production emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon, helping to improve sustainability over the end-product lifecycle.

Compared to current solvent- based coating technology, co-extrusion film using Versaflex CF has significantly reduced volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and helps reduce energy consumption by eliminating secondary coating and drying operations. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • High initial adhesion on steel, PMMA, and various other substrates • Stable and low adhesion build-up over time to prevent residue • Low unwinding force for improved efficiency when pasting film • Good gel control • One-step extrusion processing to improve manufacturing efficiency • Reduced VOC emissions compared to current solvent-based coating technology • Can be recycled as a thermoplastic material APPLICATIONS The low adhesion build-up performance of Versaflex CF 6668 TPE makes it ideal for use in protective films for high-end applications including: • Appliance • Household furniture • Building & construction • Automotive PRODUCT BULLETIN www.avient.com Copyright © 2021, Avient Corporation.

Share-Based Compensation We account for share-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, which requires us to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant. Note 14 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION Share-based compensation cost is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest during the period. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Level 1 assets are valued based on quoted market prices. Note 13 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION Share-based compensation cost is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest during the period. Share-based compensation expense is based on awards expected to vest and therefore has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.

Furthermore, based on assessment of global risk areas, we supplement training to certain functions/groups to provider deeper dives and reinforcement on certain topics, including but not limited to the topic of human rights. The Avient ethics hotline is available globally to make a web-based or telephonic report, with multi- language capabilities, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our supply base currently includes 63 suppliers: 70% located in the UK, 12% in the EU and the remaining 18% split between China, USA and India.
