 A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote the shares of Common Stock you own as of the Record Date in the manner you direct. The person you designate to vote your shares of Common Stock is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document also is called a proxy or a proxy card. We have designated Ryan C. Fisher, our Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary, and Mavis G. Huger, our Assistant General Counsel and Assistant Secretary, to serve as proxies for the Annual Meeting. The proxies also may be voted at any adjournments or postponements of the meeting. The Board is soliciting proxies for use at the Annual Meeting. A proxy statement is a document we give you when we are soliciting your vote pursuant to SEC regulations. Is the Company using a universal proxy card in connection with voting at the Annual Meeting? Yes. The SEC has adopted rules requiring the use of a universal proxy card in contested director elections that took effect on August 31, 2022. Although Ingevity is required to include all nominees for election on its universal proxy card, Ingevity does not endorse any of the Vision One Nominees and unanimously recommends shareholders vote ONLY “FOR” each of the nine nominees recommended by the Board and using the WHITEproxy card or WHITEvoting instruction form.

The Board recommends you use the enclosed WHITEproxy card or WHITEvoting instruction form to vote “FOR” only the nine nominees proposed by the Board for election as directors. The Board also recommends that you disregard and discard any gold proxy cards you receive. Please note that instructing to vote “WITHHOLD” with respect to either of the Vision One nominees on a gold proxy card is not the same as voting “FOR” the nine Board nominees because any vote using the gold proxy card will revoke any WHITEproxy you previously submitted. Even though you can vote for the Board nominees on the gold proxy card, we urge you to support our director nominees and vote “FOR” the election of ONLY the
