 (Proposal 1), “FOR” Proposal 2, “FOR” Proposal 3 and “FOR” Proposal 4. What if I give voting instructions for fewer than nine candidates or for more than nine candidates? You are permitted to vote for fewer than nine nominees for director. If you vote for fewer than nine nominees for director, your shares will only be voted “FOR” those nominees you have so marked. No discretionary authority is available to vote shares represented by an undervoted proxy card for the remaining director seats up for election. If you are a registered holder and submit a validly executed proxy card but vote “FOR” more than nine nominees, all of your votes with respect to the election of directors will be invalid and will not be counted. Votes on other matters included on the proxy card for which there is no overvote can be counted, and can be counted for purposes of determining a quorum. Who bears the expenses of solicitation? We will bear the cost of solicitation of proxies by the Board in connection with the Annual Meeting. We will reimburse brokers, fiduciaries, and custodians for reasonable expenses incurred by them in forwarding Proxy Materials to beneficial owners of Common Stock held in their names. Proxies may be solicited by mail, in person, by telephone, facsimile, or other means of communication by our officers and other employees. These people will receive no additional compensation for these services but will be reimbursed for any expenses incurred by them in connection with these services. In addition, Appendix C sets forth information pertaining to certain of Ingevity’s officers, directors, and employees who are considered to be “participants” in Ingevity’s solicitation of proxies under SEC rules. These “participants” will receive no additional or special compensation for such work.
