Factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include
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; the current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results
of operations, financial position or cash flows including without any limitation, any supply chain
and logistics issues; our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the
acquisition of Clariant's Color business, including any expected synergies; 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 achieve the anticipated
financial benefit from initiatives related to acquisition and integration working capital reductions,
cost reductions and employee productivity goals; our ability to pay regular quarterly cash
dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; information systems failures and
cyberattacks; our ability to consummate and successfully integrate acquisitions; and 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.
