Nypaver, Jr. 843-740-2002 investors@ingevity.com On February 25, 2025, Ingevity Corporation also shared the following letter with its employees. February 25, 2025 Dear Colleagues: Earlier today, Vision One Management Partners, a stockholder of Ingevity, issued a presentation expressing its views regarding our company and strategy and nominating four candidates to stand for election to Ingevity’s Board of Directors. I wanted to share some context about this matter. At Ingevity, we respect and value the views of all our stockholders, and we regularly solicit feedback from and engage with members of the investment community about our strategy, performance and business goals. Along these lines, we previously met with Vision One to better understand their perspectives and share ours. Our Nominating and Governance Committee also carefully considered and interviewed each of Vision One’s director nominees. At the conclusion of this process, the Committee determined that each of the candidates lacked relevant sector or public company executive experience and ultimately decided not to recommend any of them to the board. In an effort to advance a constructive resolution with Vision One, we offered to work collaboratively with them to identify a mutually agreed director candidate that had expertise aligned with the needs of our company and our strategy at this time. Vision rejected our efforts to engage constructively, and while the Ingevity Board remains open to resolving this matter constructively with Vision One, we will only do so in a manner that serves the best interest of the company and all Ingevity stockholders. We issued a public response https://ir.ingevity.com/news-releases/news-releases-details/2025/Ingevity-Highlights-Significant-Momentum-on-Actions-Underway-to-Drive-Improved-Performance-and-Value-Creation/default.aspx outlining the Board and management team’s views and actions we are taking to create value.
