This
included an upgrade to the knife’s grips, which long had
been made of metal.

Avient acquired the Clariant Color business on July 1, 2020 (the “Acquisition Date”).
In addition, operating
income before the effect of special items is a component of Avient’s annual and long-term employee incentive plans and is used
in debt covenant computations.
Senior management believes the measures described above are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to
Avient's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure Avient's operating results
due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude.

And in
recent acquisitions, we seek
to replace metal halide light
fixtures with LED fixtures,
providing a greener, more
efficient and longer-lasting
lighting solution.
Color and additive solutions include an innovative array of colors, special effects and
performance-enhancing and eco-friendly solutions.
When combined with polymer resins, our solutions help
customers achieve differentiated specialized colors and effects targeted at the demands of today’s highly design-
oriented consumer and industrial end markets.
