Olin Corporation, 190 Carondelet Plaza, Suite 1530, Clayton, MO 63105

**Olin to Take a Fourth Quarter 2025 Charge** 

**Following Verdict in Shintech v. Olin Litigation**

**Clayton, MO, February 12, 2026** – Olin Corporation (NYSE: OLN), a leading global manufacturer and distributor of chemical products, today issued an update following a recent verdict in a litigation matter filed by Shintech Incorporated ("Shintech") against Olin Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Blue Cube Operations LLC (collectively, "Olin").

In April 2023, Shintech filed a lawsuit seeking damages against Olin. The litigation involved a pricing dispute between Shintech and Olin, a 2023 maintenance turnaround of a vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) plant and a disputed force majeure event. Olin supplies VCM to Shintech under a long-term supply contract. Following three years of active litigation, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Shintech on February 10, 2026.

Olin was disappointed by the verdict and is currently assessing its legal rights and options. The Company firmly believes that its actions at the time were appropriate and aligned with best industry practices to prioritize the safety of its employees and the community.

As a result of this verdict, the Company obtained new information related to this litigation loss contingency and recorded a one-time, pre-tax charge of $75 million in the fourth quarter 2025, which will be reflected in the December 31, 2025 consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2025 Form 10-K. Fourth quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA will exclude this non-recurring charge. We expect to pay approximately $185 million, including previously accrued reserves, during the first half of 2026 related to this matter.

**<u>Business, Industry and Operational Risks</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sensitivity to economic, business and market conditions in the United States and overseas, including economic instability or a downturn in the sectors served by us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• declines in average selling prices for our products and the supply/demand balance for our products, including the impact of excess industry capacity or an imbalance in demand for our chlor alkali products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unsuccessful execution of our operating model, which prioritizes Electrochemical Unit (ECU) margins over sales volumes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure to control costs and inflation impacts or failure to achieve targeted cost reductions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our reliance on a limited number of suppliers for specified feedstock and services and our reliance on third-party transportation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• availability of and/or higher-than-expected costs of raw material, energy, transportation, and/or logistics;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the occurrence of unexpected manufacturing interruptions and outages, including those occurring as a result of labor disruptions and production hazards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exposure to physical risks associated with climate-related events or increased severity and frequency of severe weather events;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the failure or an interruption, including cyber-attacks, of our information technology systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risks associated with our international sales and operations, including economic, political or regulatory changes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure to identify, attract, develop, retain and motivate qualified employees throughout the organization and ability to manage executive officer and other key senior management transitions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our inability to complete future acquisitions or joint venture transactions or successfully integrate them into our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse conditions in the credit and capital markets, limiting or preventing our ability to borrow or raise capital;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• weak industry conditions affecting our ability to comply with the financial maintenance covenants in our senior credit facility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our indebtedness and debt service obligations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the effects of any declines in global equity markets on asset values and any declines in interest rates or other significant assumptions used to value the liabilities in, and funding of, our pension plans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our long-range plan assumptions not being realized, causing a non-cash impairment charge of long-lived assets;

**<u>Legal, Environmental and Regulatory Risks</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in, or failure to comply with, legislation or government regulations or policies, including changes regarding our ability to manufacture or use certain products and changes within the international markets in which we operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• new regulations or public policy changes regarding the transportation of hazardous chemicals and the security of chemical manufacturing facilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unexpected outcomes from legal or regulatory claims and proceedings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• costs and other expenditures in excess of those projected for environmental investigation and remediation or other legal proceedings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• various risks associated with our Lake City U.S. Army Ammunition Plant contract and performance under other governmental contracts; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure to effectively manage environmental, social and governance issues and related regulations, including climate change and sustainability.

All of our forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these factors. In addition, other risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we consider immaterial could affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements.
