2025, Ingevity entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Mainstream Pine Products, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Purchaser"), pursuant to which Purchaser will purchase substantially all of the assets and assume and acquire certain of the rights and liabilities of Ingevity or its applicable affiliates that relate to or are used in connection with (a) Ingevity's industrial specialties product line (other than Ingevity's lignin dispersant and alternative fatty acid based products, road technologies product line and other businesses and products more fully described in the Purchase Agreement) and (b) Ingevity's North Charleston, South Carolina crude tall oil refinery (the "CTO Refinery") and Ingevity's and its affiliates' operations thereof (collectively, the "Divestiture"). The Company has determined that the industrial specialties product line and CTO Refinery included within the Divestiture meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale and that the sale represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on Ingevity's operations and results. As such, the results of operations of the industrial specialties product line and CTO Refinery, collectively defined above

as the Divestiture, are presented as discontinued operations. The Divestiture is expected to close by early 2026. Refer to Note 16 for more information.

Performance Chemicals Repositioning

We previously announced a number of strategic actions designed to reposition our Performance Chemicals reportable segment to improve profitability and reduce the cyclicality of the company as a whole. These actions increased our focus on growing our most profitable Performance Chemicals product lines, such as road technologies. The repositioning focused on reducing exposure to lower margin end-use markets of our industrial specialties product line, such as adhesives, publication inks, and oilfield, representing approximately 45 percent of our industrial specialties product line historical annualized net sales. See Note 16 for more information.

Expected Charges

Inclusive of continuing and discontinued operations, as part of the repositioning we expected to incur aggregate charges of approximately $365 million, excluding CTO resale activity, associated with the Performance Chemicals repositioning, consisting of approximately $255 million in asset-related charges, approximately $25 million in severance and other employee-related costs, and approximately $85 million in other restructuring costs, including decommissioning, dismantling and removal charges, and contract termination costs.
