Patterson added, “We have been on a multi-year journey to transform our portfolio and
become a premier formulator of specialty and sustainable solutions.
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, including recessionary conditions; the current and potential future impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows;
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 raise or
sustain prices for products or services; 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; any
material adverse changes in the Dyneema Business; our ability to achieve the strategic and other
objectives relating to the Dyneema Acquisition, and the possible sale of the Distribution business
segment; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation,
changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation and
any recessionary conditions.

Manufacturers using rPET require different properties based on their specific
application, such as certain colors, stiffness and strength.
Chain extenders can be used in order
to raise the IV and ensure the rPET strength and performance is suitable for
the new application.
