They are based on management’s expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. A reconciliation of each historical non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is attached to this presentation which is posted on our website at www.avient.com. To provide comparable results, the company references “pro forma” financial metrics, which include the business results of Avient Protective Materials for periods prior to the Acquisition Date, as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2021 and reflect Distribution as a discontinued operation.

The EU’s directive for use of recycled PET (rPET) in bottles will increase from 25% in 2025 to 30% in 2030. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

These colorants are based in polysulfone resins which can withstand up to 1,000 autoclave cycles and high heat sterilization to 150°C, as well as hold up to the effects of harsh cleaning agents. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

SURFACE FEEL: TPEs can be customized to provide surface feels ranging from grippy or tacky to smooth and silky. 2. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

This process can lead to a degradation of the PET over time and a shift in color, often manifested as increased color variability or yellowing, which is undesirable in food and beverage packaging. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

FireCon™ CPE Chlorinated Polyethylene Jacketing Materials FireCon™ CPE formulations are flame-retardant jacketing materials designed for use in low-voltage power and control cables which are routinely exposed to harsh chemicals and low temperatures. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Permanent antistatic additives, which function regardless of the relative humidity by creating an internal conductive network, are also available as custom masterbatches. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

This commitment is exemplified by our No Surprises Pledge, which we make to all customers and markets across the globe Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment.

Duties and Responsibilities The Committee will: Assessment Process • Periodically review the results of formal assessments by management of the environmental liabilities for which the Company has known or probable environmental exposure and the adequacy of the Company’s financial reserves for environmental liabilities; • Semi-annually review the status of health and safety performance of the Company; • Semi-annually review the status of the Company’s product stewardship programs and performance; • Periodically review the Company’s staffing for its environmental, health and safety assessments and compliance; and 2 • Periodically review new environmental, physical security, health and safety laws and regulations applicable to the Company’s operations and issues or significant developments arising from pending regulatory and citizen group activities. Other Delegated Duties or Responsibilities • Perform any other duties or responsibilities delegated to the Committee by the Board from time to time. The Committee may appoint subcommittees from time to time as needed, and may delegate authority to such subcommittees or to officers of the Company when appropriate, consistent with applicable laws, regulations and listing standards

Traditionally, process aids for extrusion contain fluoropolymers which may be classifiable as per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS), a group of chemicals widely used in a variety of applications due to their ability to be water and oil repellent, non-stick, and heat resistant. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
