On June 16, 2026, the following email was sent to employees of Olin Corporation ("Olin") in connection with the proposed transaction between Olin and Huntsman Corporation ("Huntsman") (the "Proposed Transaction"):

Olin Team,

Today, we announced that Olin and Huntsman have entered into a definitive agreement to combine in an all-stock merger of equals, creating an integrated North American chemicals leader. You can read the press release here.

The proposed combination brings together highly complementary businesses and capabilities in Olin and Huntsman, enabling a vertically integrated platform with meaningful opportunities to better serve customers, a structurally lower cost position, and enhanced ability to create long-term value across cycles and regions.

Winchester will continue to operate as an important business within the combined company and will continue to grow its industry-leading brand and deepen its long-term relationships with sporting, law enforcement, and military customers.

There is much opportunity ahead, and value to create, as OlinHuntsman Corporation. And I know this is the team to bring this idea to life.

Today's announcement is a major milestone for our organization and will result in some changes over time as we work to bring the businesses together following transaction close, which we expect to occur in the first half of 2027. But our most fundamental ALL IN values are steadfast, and shared with Huntsman – those of safety, integrity, employee empowerment, and creating value for each of our stakeholder groups. Those values will continue to guide us as we move through this new and exciting chapter.

At the same time, I must reiterate that today is only Day 1 of a long process. For you, our Olin teammates, nothing changes right now so we have to stay focused. Until the transaction closes, Olin and Huntsman remain separate companies and it is business as usual. This means that your role, pay, benefits, and reporting lines are unchanged. We are counting on you to not lose sight

------

of our most important day-to-day responsibilities, delivering on this year's objectives and on advancing the strong momentum we have - safely, as always.

Please join me and Todd Slater for a Global Town Hall today as I share more about the transaction, what it means for our company, and the opportunities we see ahead.

I know you will have many questions. Together with the Executive Leadership Team, we are committed to communicating transparently and sharing updates when we can. A dedicated MyOlin page with FAQs and ongoing updates will be available soon. As we move forward, our focus will be on bringing these two organizations together thoughtfully, responsibly and with a clear commitment to our people, customers, communities, and shareholders.

Thank you for staying focused on safety, serving our customers, and supporting one another.

Sincerely,

Ken Lane

President & CEO

Dear [INSERT NAME],

I'm writing to share that Olin has entered into a definitive agreement to combine with Huntsman, creating an integrated North American chemicals leader with enhanced scale and scope. You can read more in the press release we jointly issued: [INSERT LINK].

This transaction brings together two highly complementary businesses to create a more resilient and value-focused company. By combining Olin's chemical assets with Huntsman's downstream technologies and materials expertise, the company will benefit from enhanced supply chain integration, expanded manufacturing capabilities, and complementary positions across key chemical value chains, enabling us to better serve customers.

As part of a larger company anchored in North America, we will also deliver to diverse and growing end markets and have significant cost synergy opportunities and disciplined capital allocation, unlocking more opportunities to grow. Taken together, this means we will be an even stronger and more reliable supplier to you. We look forward to continuing to deliver relentlessly across all your solution needs.

Looking ahead, we expect the transaction to close in the first half of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions. Until that time, Huntsman and Olin will remain separate and independent companies, and **we will continue to operate as usual.** Your Olin contacts remain the same, and all current contracts and commitments are unchanged. As we begin integration planning with Huntsman, we will stay closely coordinated with you to ensure continuity and continue meeting your expectations.
