**WILMINGTON, Del.** – **January 16, 2026** – Qnity Electronics, Inc. ("Qnity") (NYSE: Q), a premier technology solutions leader across the semiconductor value chain, today announced that Matt Harbaugh has stepped down from his role as Chief Financial Officer due to health reasons. Mike Goss, the Company's current Principal Accounting Officer and Controller, has been appointed to serve as Interim Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately.

"It has been a privilege to work alongside this strong management team to launch Qnity," said Matt Harbaugh. "I remain confident in the company's continued success and strategy for value creation."

Stepping into this interim role, Mike brings nearly three decades of finance experience across several disciplines. Prior to serving as Qnity's Principal Accounting Officer and Controller, Mike spent 14 years at DuPont where he held multiple senior roles. During this time, he gained significant expertise in portfolio transformation and financial operations rigor, most recently serving as Vice President, Principal Accounting Officer and Controller, from December 2018 to October 2025. Prior to DuPont, Mike held various roles at Ernst & Young.

"Mike is a seasoned financial leader recognized for his experience across core disciplines and a proven track record of leading financial operations to drive strategic growth, company performance, and long-term value," said Kemp. "His deep understanding of our business and financial operations will ensure a smooth transition as we continue to execute against our strategic priorities."
