**PROXY** **STATEMENT**

**INFORMATION** **ABOUT** **THE** **2026** **ANNUAL** **MEETING** **OF STOCKHOLDERS AND VOTING AT THE MEETING**

------

****Why*** ***did***  ***you*** ***send***  ***me*** ***the***  ***Notice*** ***Regarding***  ***the*** ***Availability***  ***of*** ***Proxy***  ***Materials?****

We sent you the Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice") because the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Innospec Inc. ("Innospec" or the "Company") is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which will be held on Friday, May 8, 2026 at 10.00 a.m. Eastern Time, at The St. Regis New York, Two East 55th Street, at Fifth Avenue, New York, USA, 10022.

This Proxy Statement summarizes the information you need to vote at the Annual Meeting. You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your stock. Alternatively, you may simply vote by telephone, over the internet, or, if you have requested written proxy materials, by completing, signing and returning the accompanying proxy card.

Innospec intends to commence distribution of the Notice to stockholders on or about March 27, 2026.

****What*** ***proposals***  ***will*** ***be***  ***voted*** ***on***  ***at*** ***the***  ***Annual*** ***Meeting***  ***of***  ***Stockholders?****

You are being asked to consider and vote on three proposals at the Annual Meeting. The following is a summary of the proposals and the voting recommendations of the Board with respect to each proposal:

---

****Are*** ***proxy***  ***materials*** ***available***  ***on*** ***the***  ***internet?****

Yes. This Proxy Statement, and the proxy card, for the Annual Meeting and our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K are available at ****www.envisionreports.com/iosp*** *****for stockholders of record and ****www.edocumentview.com/iosp*** *****for beneficial owners.

****Who*** ***is***  ***entitled*** ***to***  ***vote*** ***at***  ***the***  ***meeting?****

March 13, 2026 is the record date for the Annual Meeting. If you owned Innospec Common Stock at the close of business on March 13, 2026, you are entitled to vote. On this record date, we had 24,890,467 shares of our Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Our Common Stock is our only class of voting stock.

****How*** ***many***  ***votes*** ***do***  ***I***  ***have?****

You have one vote for each share of Common Stock that you owned at the close of business on the March 13, 2026 record date. Your Notice indicates the number of shares of Common Stock you are entitled to vote.

****What*** ***is***  ***the*** ***difference***  ***between*** ***holding***  ***stock*** ***as***  ***a*** ***stockholder***  ***of*** ***record***  ***and*** ***as***  ***a*** **** ***beneficial***  ***owner?****

Although many stockholders are the record holders of their stock, others hold their stock beneficially, which means it is held through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in the stockholder's own name. As summarized below, there are some differences between stock held of record and stock owned beneficially.

<u>Stockholder</u> <u>of</u> <u>Record</u>

If your shares of Common Stock are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record and the Notice is being sent to you directly at your address of record. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to Innospec by voting by telephone or via the internet, or, if you have requested written materials, by signing, dating and returning your proxy card to Innospec. Alternatively, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. For more information on voting by telephone or via the internet see the description below under the heading "Information about the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Voting at the Meeting - May I vote by telephone or via the internet?".

<u>Beneficial</u> <u>Owner</u>

If your Common Stock is held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of stock held in "street name" and our proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or nominee on how to vote your stock and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may only vote these shares at the Annual Meeting if you follow the instructions described below under the heading "Information about the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Voting at the Meeting - How do I attend and vote at the Annual Meeting?".

Your broker or nominee has provided a voting instruction card for you to use in directing your broker or nominee as to how to vote your stock. You may also vote by telephone or via the internet by following your broker or other nominee's directions as described below under the heading "Information about the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Voting at the Meeting - May I vote by telephone or via the internet?".

****How*** ***do***  ***I*** ***vote***  ***by*** ***proxy***  ***if*** ***I***  ***am*** ***a***  ***stockholder*** ***of***  ***record?****

If you are a stockholder of record and you request a physical proxy card and properly fill in such proxy card and it is completed and received by us (and not revoked) prior to the Annual Meeting, or you vote by internet or telephone, your "proxy" (i.e., one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your stock as you have directed. If you sign the proxy card (including by electronic signature in the case of internet or telephonic voting), but do not make specific voting choices, the person holding your proxy will vote your stock as recommended by the Board as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](inno-proxyimg012.gif)  | **\| 3** |

---

**"FOR"** the election of two Class I Directors;

**"FOR"** the approval, on an advisory basis, of the Company's executive compensation; and

**"FOR"** the ratification of the appointment of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

If any other matter is presented at the Annual Meeting, your vote will be cast in accordance with the best judgment of the individuals named on your proxy card. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we know of no such other matters that need to be acted on at the Annual Meeting.

****How*** ***do***  ***I*** ***give***  ***voting*** ***instructions***  ***if*** ***I***  ***am*** ***a***  ***beneficial*** **** ***owner?****

If you are a beneficial owner of stock, your broker will communicate with you directly and ask you how you want your stock to be voted. If you give the broker voting instructions, the broker will vote your stock as you direct. If you do not give the broker voting instructions, one of two things can happen, depending on the type of proposal in question. Brokers have discretionary power to vote your stock with respect to "routine" matters, but they do not have discretionary power to vote your stock on "non-routine" matters. Brokers holding stock beneficially owned by their clients do not have the ability to cast votes with respect to the election and ratification of directors or executive compensation unless they have received instructions from the beneficial owner of the stock because these are considered "non-routine" matters. **It** **is** **therefore** **important** **that** **you** **provide** **voting** **instructions** **to** **your** **broker if** **your** **shares** **of** **Common** **Stock** **are** **held** **beneficially** **through** **a** **broker** **so** **that** **your** **vote** **with** **respect** **to** **directors and executive compensation, and any other matter treated as "non-routine", is counted.**

****May*** ***I***  ***vote*** ***by***  ***telephone*** ***or***  ***via*** ***the***  ***internet?****

Yes, you may vote by telephone or via the internet up until 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time the day before the Annual Meeting date. We encourage you to do so because your vote will be tabulated faster than if you mailed it. Please note the following depending on whether you are a stockholder of record or a beneficial owner whose shares are held by a bank or broker in "street name":

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote electronically through the internet at *www.envisionreports.com/iosp* or by telephone Toll Free 1-800-652-8683 within the U.S.A., U.S. Territories and Canada. Be sure to have your control number, which appears on your Notice or proxy card, with you when you vote.

If you are a beneficial owner and hold your stock in "street name", you may vote electronically through the internet at ****www.proxyvote.com*** *****and you should contact your bank or broker to determine whether you will be able to vote by telephone. Be sure to have your control number, which appears on your Notice or proxy card, with you when you vote.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote. Doing so by returning the proxy card or voting by telephone or via the internet will not affect your ultimate right to attend and vote at the meeting.

****May*** ***I***  ***revoke*** ***my***  ***proxy?****

Yes. If you change your mind after you vote, you may revoke your proxy by following any of the procedures described below. To revoke your proxy:

• Send in another signed proxy with a later date or resubmit your vote by telephone or the internet;

• Send a letter revoking your proxy to Mr. David B. Jones, Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Corporate Secretary at Innospec Inc., 8310 South Valley Highway, Suite 350, Englewood, CO 80112; or

• Attend the Annual Meeting and vote in accordance with the instructions described below.

If you wish to revoke your proxy, you must do so sufficiently in advance to permit the necessary examination and tabulation of the subsequent proxy or revocation before the vote is taken.

****How*** ***do***  ***I*** ***attend***  ***and*** ***vote***  ***at*** ***the***  ***2026*** ***Annual***  ***Meeting?****

If you are a stockholder of record, you may attend the meeting and vote your shares in person. If you choose to do so, please bring your Notice, or proxy card showing your control number and proof of identification.

If you are the beneficial owner of stock held in "street name", you may vote your shares in person only if you obtain a signed proxy from the stockholder of record giving you the right to vote the stock. To do so, you must bring to the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders proof of identification, an account statement or letter from the broker, bank or other nominee indicating that you are the owner of the stock and a signed proxy from the stockholder of record giving you the right to vote the stock. The account statement or letter must show that you were the beneficial owner of the stock on the Record Date.

Even if you plan to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in person, Innospec recommends that you vote your stock in advance by internet or telephone, or by returning the accompanying proxy card, as described above, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

****Is*** ***a***  ***stockholder*** ***list***  ***available*** ***for***  ***examination?****

For 10 days prior to the Annual Meeting, a complete list of stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination by any stockholder for any purpose relevant to the Annual Meeting. Stockholders may view the list at Innospec's corporate headquarters at 8310 South Valley Highway, Suite 350, Englewood, CO 80112 during office hours and showing their control number and photo identification. The stockholders list will also be available during the Annual Meeting.

****What*** ***votes***  ***need*** ***to***  ***be*** ***present***  ***to*** ***hold***  ***the*** ***Annual***  ***Meeting?****

To have a quorum for our Annual Meeting, the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote need to be present or represented by proxy. Abstentions and broker "non-votes" are treated as present and entitled to vote and are counted in determining whether we have a quorum.

****What*** ***vote***  ***is*** ***required***  ***to*** ***approve***  ***each*** **** ***proposal?****

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Proposal** | **Proposal** | **How many votes are required?** | **Is broker discretionary voting allowed?** |
| **Proposal** **1** | Election of two Class I Directors | Plurality of votes of shares present or represented by proxy\* | No |
| **Proposal** **2** | Advisory approval of the Company's executive compensation | Majority of the stock present or represented by proxy\*\* | No |
| **Proposal** **3** | Ratification of the appointment of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm | Majority of the stock present or represented by proxy | Yes |

---

\*While directors are elected by a plurality vote, we have a "majority vote" director resignation policy in place, as described on page 32.

\*\*As Proposal 2 is an advisory vote, there is no specified vote requirement for approval. Innospec will consider that the affirmative vote of the majority of the stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on such proposal reflects the advice of the stockholders.

| **Proposal** **3** | Ratification of appointment of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm | "FOR", "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN" | Yes |

---

\*If you "withhold" authority to vote with respect to one or more nominees for Innospec Director, your vote will have no effect on the election of such nominees.

\*\*While directors are elected by a plurality vote, we have a "majority vote" director resignation policy in place, as described on page 32.

If you sign (including electronic confirmations in the case of internet or telephone voting) your proxy card with no instructions on how to vote, your stock will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. If you sign (including electronic confirmation in the case of internet or telephone voting) your broker voting instruction card with no instructions on how to vote, your stock will be voted in the broker's discretion only with respect to "routine" matters, but will not be voted with respect to "non-routine" matters. As described in "Information about the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Voting at the Meeting—How do I give voting instructions if I am a beneficial owner?", election of directors and executive compensation are considered "non-routine" matters. We will appoint one or more inspectors of election to count votes cast by proxy.

****What*** ***is***  ***the*** ***effect***  ***of*** ***broker***  ***non-votes*** **** ***and***  ***abstentions?****

A broker "non-vote" occurs when a broker holding stock for a beneficial owner does not or cannot vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power for that particular proposal and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

Common Stock owned by stockholders electing to abstain from voting with respect to any proposal will be counted towards the presence of a quorum. Common Stock beneficially owned and voted by the beneficiary through a broker will be counted towards the presence of a quorum, even if there are broker non-votes with respect to some proposals, as long as the broker votes on at least one "non-routine" proposal.

Abstentions and instructions to withhold votes with respect to any nominee for director election (which uses a plurality standard) will result in those nominees receiving fewer votes but will not count as votes "against" the nominee. Broker non-votes will not be considered present and entitled to vote with respect to elections of directors and therefore will have no direct effect on the outcome of the election of directors. Abstentions will be treated as present and entitled to vote with respect to Proposals 2 and 3 and, therefore, will have the effect of votes "against" these proposals. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of these proposals.

****What*** ***happens***  ***if*** ***the***  ***Annual*** ***Meeting***  ***is*** ***adjourned***  ***or*** **** ***postponed?****

Your proxy will still be effective and will be voted at the rescheduled Annual Meeting. You will still be able to change or revoke your proxy until it is voted.

****Where*** ***can***  ***I*** ***find***  ***the*** ***voting***  ***results?****

Final voting results will be disclosed in a Form 8-K to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") within four business days after the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If official results are not available at that time, we will provide preliminary voting results in the Form 8-K and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Form 8-K as soon as they become available. You can find the Form 8-K on our website at *www.innospec.com*.

****Will*** ***Innospec's***  ***independent*** ***accountants***  ***attend*** ***the***  ***Annual*** **** ***Meeting?****

A representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC"), our current independent registered public accounting firm, will be available by telephone at the Annual Meeting to answer questions and will have an opportunity to make a statement if such representative wishes.

****Do*** ***Directors***  ***attend*** ***the***  ***Annual***  ***Meeting?****

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that Directors are expected to attend our annual meetings of stockholders and any special meetings of stockholders called by Innospec to consider extraordinary business transactions. Unless they are unable to do so as a result of special circumstances, Directors are encouraged to attend all other special meetings of stockholders called by Innospec. All our Directors then in office attended the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders that was held on May 9, 2025.

****Whom*** ***should***  ***I*** ***call***  ***if*** ***I***  ***have*** **** ***any***  ***questions?****

**Corporate** **Governance** **Guidelines**

Our Board believes that adherence to sound corporate governance policies and practices is important so that the Company is governed and managed with the highest standards of responsibility, ethics and integrity and by taking into account the interests of all stakeholders. We have adopted a set of Corporate Governance Guidelines intended to reflect a set of core values that provide the foundation for our governance and management systems and our interactions with others.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines address key governance matters, including, but not limited to:

• Selection and composition of the Board;

• Director orientation and continuing education;

• Board membership criteria and selection process;

• Board operations, including the size of the Board, Board independence and Board committee structure;

• Director responsibilities;

• Executive sessions of non-employee Directors;

• Performance evaluations of the Board, Committees of the Board and individual Directors;

• Director compensation;

• Director access to management and outside advisors;

• Management succession;

• Resignation policy in uncontested Director elections; and

• Limits on Board members serving on other public company boards.

The Board believes that corporate governance is an evolving process and generally reviews the Corporate Governance Guidelines every two years and updates them when appropriate. A current copy of the Corporate Governance Guidelines can be found on our website under the heading Corporate Governance at *www.innospec.com/about-us/corporate-governance*, or by writing to Mr. David B. Jones, Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Corporate Secretary at Innospec Inc., 8310 South Valley Highway, Suite 350, Englewood, CO 80112.

**Innospec's** **Leadership** **Structure**

The Board believes that the roles of Chairman of the Board (a non-executive position) and Chief Executive Officer should remain separate to enable the Board to provide effective guidance to management and promote oversight and accountability of management. This separation preserves the distinction between the management and oversight functions, maintaining the responsibility of management to help develop corporate strategy and the responsibility of the Board to review and provide input on corporate strategy.

To fulfill the role, the Chairman of the Board, among other things, creates and maintains an effective working relationship between the Board and the Company's management; provides the CEO with on-going direction as to current Board needs, interests, views and expectations; and directs the Board agenda to the matters of greatest importance to Innospec.

|:---|:---|
| ![](inno-proxyimg012.gif)  | **\| 9** |

---

The duties of the non-executive Chairman of the Board include:

▶presiding over meetings of the Board;

▶preparing the agenda for Board meetings in consultation with the CEO, CFO and other members of the Board;

▶calling and presiding over meetings of the independent Directors;

▶co-ordinating periodic review of management's strategic plan for the Company;

▶after consulting with other Board members and the CEO, making recommendations to the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee as to the membership of various Board committees and Committee Chairs;

▶managing the Board's process for Director self-assessment and evaluation of the Board;

▶presiding over meetings of stockholders;

▶encouraging active participation by each member of the Board; and

▶performing such other duties and services as the Board may require.

**The** **Board's** **Role** **in** **Risk** **Management**

The Board's role in risk oversight and management is consistent with our leadership structure, with the CEO and other members of senior management having responsibility for assessing and managing the Company's risk exposure, and the Board and its committees providing oversight in connection with these efforts. Risk management is an integral part of Board and committee deliberations throughout the year. During 2025, the Senior Vice President, Corporate Development and Investor Relations, presented a summary of key risks facing the Company so the Board could discuss and assess such risks and the management of them on a timely and on-going basis.

The Global IT Director presents his information technology and cyber security update to the Board in person at

least annually.

In fiscal 2025, each of our Directors completed our Code of Business Ethics online compliance training program that we require our employees to complete. In addition, in fiscal 2025, as part of our risk oversight of our information technology systems and risk mitigation efforts, employee training on cyber security risks was required of all Innospec Directors and employees who have access to our information technology resources.

NCC Group ("NCC") performs periodic cyber security reviews. NCC reports its findings directly to the Board.

**Director** **Independence**

The Board, after considering all relevant facts and circumstances of which it is aware, including those matters set out below under "Family Relationships" and "Related Person Transactions and Relationships", has determined that all of its non-employee members are independent, within the meaning of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2) applicable on the date of this Proxy Statement.

We have also adopted our own standards for director independence that can be found in our Director Independence Policy on our website at *www.innospec.com/about-us/corporate-governance*.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| The Board has determined that each member of the Board, who served during 2025 and/or who currently serves, except for Mr. Williams, meets the independence standards described above. Mr. Williams is not treated as independent because, as President and CEO, he is an employee of Innospec. In addition, as part of the independence determination, the Board monitors the independence of Audit and Compensation Committee members under rules of the SEC and Nasdaq listing standards that are applicable to members of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. | ****ALL OF OUR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS***  ***ARE*** ***INDEPENDENT**** |

**Highly Independent Board: 6 out of 7 Board Members are Independent**

![](inno-proxyimg014.gif)

**Family** **Relationships**

No immediate family relationship exists between any of our Directors or Executive Officers and any other Directors or Executive Officers.

**Transactions** **and** **Relationships**

Other than the director and executive compensation arrangements discussed in this Proxy Statement, there have been no transactions since January 1, 2025, to which we have been or will be a participant, in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000, and in which any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of any class of our voting stock, or any member of the immediate family of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](inno-proxyimg012.gif)  | **\| 13** |

---

**Related Person Transactions** **Approval Policy**

Pursuant to our Code of Conduct, all senior officers must disclose to the Board any material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest. The Code of Conduct also states that no employee may seek to obtain special treatment from Innospec for family members, friends or for businesses in which family members or friends have an interest. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not make any charitable contributions to any charity on which any Director serves as an executive officer.

**Executive** **Sessions** **of** **Independent** **Non-Employee** **Directors**

Executive sessions of independent non-employee Directors are led by the Chairman. An executive session is held in conjunction with each regularly scheduled Board meeting and other sessions may be called by the Chairman at his discretion or at the request of the Board. There were four executive sessions of independent non-employee Directors during fiscal year 2025.

The Board will continue to monitor the standards for director independence established under applicable law or Nasdaq listing requirements and will maintain the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines to be consistent with those standards.

**Identifying** **and** **Evaluating** **Nominees** **for** **Director**

The Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for Director. The Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee considers each person's judgment, experience, independence, understanding of our business or other related industries and such factors as the committee determines relevant in light of the needs of the Board and the Company. The Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee reviews the skills and attributes of Board members within the context of the current make-up of the full Board and regularly assesses the appropriate size of the Board and whether vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise.

In the event that vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee considers potential candidates for Director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee through current Board members, stockholders or other persons. The Board considers diversity in the nominating process, along with other criteria, for potential Director candidates and specifically requests that females and minority candidates are included in every Director search pool. The recruitment specification for new Directors concentrates on candidates who are seasoned executive officers, with significant relevant experience, both at board level and within relevant industries.

The Director candidates are evaluated at regular or special meetings of the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee and may be considered at any time during the year. The nominees for election at this year's Annual Meeting of Stockholders were approved for nomination by the Board upon the recommendation of the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee.

The policy of the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee is to consider properly submitted stockholder nominations for election to the Board. For any candidate to be considered by the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, and if nominated, included in the Proxy Statement, such recommendation should be received no later than the deadline for submission of stockholder proposals. See "Stockholders' Proposals for the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders". Recommendations should be sent to the Corporate Secretary and should specify the nominee's name, qualification for Board membership and any other information required by the Company's Bylaws. All properly submitted stockholder nominations for Director candidates received by the Corporate Secretary will be submitted to the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee for review and consideration. The Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee will consider stockholder recommendations for Director candidates, but the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee has no obligation to recommend such candidates. Assuming appropriate biographical and background information (including qualifications) is provided for Director candidates recommended by stockholders, the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee will use the same process to evaluate Director nominees recommended by stockholders as it does to evaluate nominees identified by other sources.

**Director** **On-Boarding** **and** **Continuing** **Education**

*Overview:*

The Board and management conduct orientation for new Directors to become familiar with, amongst other things, Innospec's business operations, strategies, financial matters, ethics, fiduciary duties, corporate governance and all other Company policies. It is the responsibility of management and the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee to advise Directors about continuing education opportunities, which they are encouraged to pursue. The Legal and Compliance Department provides training to the Board at least annually and the Chief Compliance Officer regularly updates the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee and full Board on evolving law and practices and stockholder expectations.

*Orientation:*

When new Directors join the Board, they participate in a comprehensive on-boarding program to learn about our industry, business, strategies, and policies. Our on-boarding program includes provision of reading material regarding director duties and responsibilities, meetings with division heads and senior executives to discuss our businesses, strategy, operations and our corporate functions such as finance, information technology, research and development, and legal and compliance. New Directors also meet with the executives and staff supporting the Committees on which they sit and are provided with information and training specific to the Board Committee(s) they are appointed to. In addition, every Director must complete induction training on compliance within two weeks of being appointed and a more in-depth training once they have been in office for six months.

****Continuing*** **** ***education:****

For continued education regarding our business and industry, at least annually, we provide presentations by internal and external experts during our regular Board meetings on topics such as, industry trends, risks facing the industry and the Company, corporate governance trends and key topics, and stakeholder expectations with particular focus on the implications and impact on the Company. In 2025, the Board received training, or updates, on D&O, Property and Casualty insurance and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues.

**Meetings** **and** **Attendance**

In 2025, the full Board met four times, the Audit Committee met four times, the Compensation Committee met four times, and the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee met four times. There were four Non-Employee Director meetings at which no members of management were present. Directors are expected to attend all Board Meetings and meetings of Committees on which they serve. During the year ended December 31, 2025, each of the Directors attended, in person, by telephone or video call, all the meetings of the Board and meetings of Committees of the Board on which he or she served that were held while he or she was a member. Directors are also expected to attend all meetings of stockholders. All of the Directors attended the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

**Limitation** **on** **Other** **Board** **and** **Audit** **Committee** **Positions**

The Board has adopted restrictions on the number of outside boards on which Directors may serve that are consistent with market standards and regulatory requirements, including limits on executive officers of publicly-traded companies. So that Directors are able to dedicate sufficient time to Innospec's Board, the Board established the following limits on our Directors serving on publicly-traded company boards and audit committees:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Director Category** | **Limit on publicly-traded company board and audit committee service, including Innospec** |
| **Non-employee directors who are not full-time** **employees of a publicly-traded company** | **4 public company boards maximum** |
| **Board members who are full-time** **employees of a publicly-traded company** | **2 public company boards maximum** |
| **Non-employee directors who** **serve on Innospec's Audit Committee** | **3 audit committees' maximum** |

---

Any Board member wishing to join the board of another publicly-traded company is required to first notify the Chair of the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, the Chairman of the Board, and Innospec's General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer prior to joining such other board or agreeing to be nominated or serve on a director slate at such other board. The Chair of the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee and General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer will review the proposed board membership to confirm compliance with applicable laws and policies. Potential conflicts of interest, if any, will be referred to the Chairman of the Board for review.

Throughout the year, the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee monitors the service of our Directors on boards and board committees of other companies, to assess the potential impact of holding multiple positions on the individual Director's ability to devote sufficient time and attention to his or her duties as a Director of Innospec.

**Code** **of** **Conduct**

The Board has adopted a Code of Conduct, violations of which may be reported to the Chair of the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee or the Corporate Secretary. This Code of Conduct is intended to promote, among other things, honest and ethical conduct, full and accurate reporting and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. A copy of the Code of Conduct is available on our website under "Corporate Governance" at: *www.innospec.com/about-us/corporate-governance*.

**Supplier** **Code** **of** **Conduct**

Innospec believes that honest and transparent business conduct is vital and is committed to ethical business practices and actively enforcing compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and rules. We have therefore adopted a Supplier Code of Conduct, pursuant to which our suppliers are required to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including those related to business integrity, human rights and safety, health and the environment. Innospec engages EcoVadis to conduct corporate social responsibility risk assessments of key suppliers and those operating out of high-risk locations. Among other things, EcoVadis assessments allow us to evaluate supplier policies and actions taken by the supplier and to identify further actions required to enforce compliance with internationally recognized human rights standards and fair labor practices.

We also have an internal protocol to support our review of, and response to, concerns raised regarding our supply chain. Innospec may invoke sanctions against suppliers, up to and including termination of the business relationship, if they violate modern slavery laws.

A copy of the Supplier Code of Conduct is available on our website under "Supplier Relations" at:

*https://innospec.com/about-us/supplier-relations/*.

**Raising** **Issues** **and** **Reporting** **Violations**

Innospec's employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders play a critical role in establishing, promoting and upholding a culture of compliance. An integral part of that culture is the creation of an environment in which concerns regarding unlawful, fraudulent or unethical matters may be raised without fear of retaliation. Innospec's employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders may report concerns via several mechanisms which are outlined in our Reporting Corporate Governance Concerns Policy (for employees) and Third-Party Notice (for customers, suppliers and other stakeholders) and include a whistleblowing hotline, EthicsPoint. A copy of our Reporting Corporate Governance Concerns Third-Party Notice can be found on our website under "Corporate Governance" at: *www.innospec.com/about-us/corporate-governance*.

**No** **Retaliation** **on** **Reporting** **Issues** **or** **Violations**

Our Reporting Corporate Governance Concerns Policy states that Innospec will not retaliate against any person who acts in good faith to report Concerns or helps to investigate or resolve Concerns, including individuals who make reports, conduct investigations, are interviewed as witnesses or provide evidence. Innospec will not tolerate any form of retaliation against any person who reports or helps to investigate or resolve Concerns. Any employee who displays retaliatory behaviors may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Any customer, supplier or other stakeholder who displays these behaviors may have their contract or relationship with Innospec terminated.

**Stock** **Trading** **Policy**

We have adopted a Stock Trading Policy that provides restrictions on, and guidelines for, trading Company securities, or the securities of any other company while in possession of material non-public information. The Stock Trading Policy applies to all of our officers, directors, employees, contractors and agents. We believe the Stock Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and applicable listing standards. In addition, it is the policy of the Company to comply with all applicable securities laws and regulations. A copy of our Stock Trading Policy is filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Anti-Hedging** **Policy**

Our Stock Trading Policy contains an anti-hedging provision that prohibits directors, officers and employees from hedging any stock, share or other securities issued by Innospec (including through the use of financial instruments, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) or otherwise engage in transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of any stock, share or other securities issued by the Company.

**Anti-Pledging Policy**

Our Stock Trading Policy contains a provision that prohibits directors, officers and employees from holding any stock, share or other securities issued by the Company in a margin account, or from otherwise pledging such securities as collateral for a loan, unless the person obtains approval in advance from the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee. No approval will be granted unless that person clearly demonstrates the financial capacity to repay the loan (which must not constitute margin debt) without resorting to the pledged securities (pledges arising from certain types of hedging transactions are governed by the anti-hedging policy described above).

**Board** **and** **Committee** **Self-Evaluations**

Each year, the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee oversees the Board, Committee and Director self-evaluation process.

****The*** ***annual***  ***evaluation*** ***process***  ***is*** ***as***  ***follows:****

**Stockholder** **Engagement**

In 2025 Innospec participated in five investor conferences and two non-deal-roadshows. This included multiple engagements with the majority of our largest active stockholders, representing in the aggregate more than one-third of our outstanding stock, during the year. Where beneficial, we continued to leverage virtual meeting tools.

The Company was represented by a minimum of two, and often three of the senior executives comprising the CEO, CFO and Senior Vice President, Corporate Development and Investor Relations. During the year, several updated versions of our investor presentation were produced covering business performance, strategy and financial management of the Company. Concurrent with each update, the presentation was uploaded to the Company's website so that all investors had access to the same information.

The Company's senior management team also engaged with investors and analysts in the period soon after the release of quarterly results to discuss those quarterly results.

Along with business performance, market conditions, capital allocation plans and strategy, other issues were discussed as raised by investors.

**Sustainability** **Governance**

Innospec's sustainability governance structure features standalone sustainability teams for each of our businesses reporting into an Executive Sustainability Steering Group. The Executive Sustainability Steering Group comprises our CEO and senior business leaders and is responsible for developing, resourcing and making decisions on Innospec's sustainability strategy, targets and objectives. This group meets and reports, on a quarterly basis, directly to our Board's Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee who have oversight of sustainability strategy, objectives and progress. In addition to this, the full Board is briefed annually on our sustainability progress, strategy, and future direction. Our VP Global Regulatory Compliance and Sustainability is responsible for leading Innospec's sustainability strategy, implementation and continued execution. Our dedicated sustainability teams for our three business units focus on specific issues relevant to their customers and markets.

**Working** **towards** **the** **UN** **Sustainable** **Development** **Goals**

Innospec recognizes that the private sector plays an important role in advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals ("SDGs") which address the world's most pressing economic, social and environmental challenges. In 2024, we conducted a review of our activities, mapping them against the SDGs and found that we directly contribute to 14 of the goals. Of these we have identified five that align most closely to our operations; Quality Education, Affordable and Clean Energy, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Responsible Consumption and Production, and Life on Land. The UN SDGs have been used to guide our materiality assessment and the evolution of our Sustainability strategy and agenda. We will continue to evolve our existing sustainability initiatives to maximize our contribution.

|:---|:---|
| *We work hard to make the company an attractive career choice for both new recruits and existing employees.*  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Human capital management is critical to Innospec's ongoing business success. Our aim is to create an engaged and motivated workforce where employees are inspired by leadership, engaged in purpose-driven, meaningful work and have opportunities for growth and development.<br> An effective approach to human capital management requires that we invest in talent, development, culture, and employee engagement. We aim to create an environment where our employees are encouraged to make positive contributions and fulfill their potential. |

**Core** **Values** **&** **Culture**

Our core values are:

**Responsible Growth:** Financial stability and growth are essential to maintain our goal of making a positive contribution towards a more sustainable future. Generating economic benefits for our employees, stockholders, and local communities — encouraging ongoing innovation in our product portfolio alongside excellent customer service, financial stability and responsible growth, will allow our business to be competitive and sustainable.

**Caring** **for** **People:** We strive to create a safe and caring culture where our employees are supported and encouraged to make positive contributions. Our continued success depends on keeping people safe, promoting a healthy lifestyle, protecting human rights, improving education, training and maintaining good relations with our neighbors.

**Conserving** **&** **Protecting** **the** **Environment:** We aim to use resources as efficiently as practicable and minimizing the impact of our operations on the environment. We look to supply safe, sustainable products, designed to meet the needs of society now and in the future while minimizing their environmental impact.

**Leading by Example:** We understand that honest, ethical and transparent conduct is vital to our success and reputation. Every employee plays an essential part in complying with local and national laws, rules and regulations. We uphold a high standard of corporate and business integrity across all of our activities.

At Innospec, we encourage our people to aspire to a culture that is:

*Confident*

We know what is expected of us and take responsibility for our own workload. We assume responsibility for making decisions and are flexible in our dealings with people. We take additional responsibility to meet customer needs and enhance performance.

*Informed*

We take pride in being good at what we do and actively seek to enhance our knowledge and skills to help improve performance. We use our expertise co-operatively to meet customer needs and enhance our performance. We respect each other and listen carefully to understand others' points of view.

*Clear*

As an organization, we are open and transparent. We encourage and welcome feedback and we support people to deal with any unwelcome messages.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](inno-proxyimg012.gif)  | **\| 29** |

---

*Innovative*

Our people are forward thinking and inspired. We enjoy challenges and encourage new ideas. We seek continual improvement, and care about treating people well through periods of change.

*Dynamic*

We are performance driven, enthusiastic and quick to respond. We set clear targets and objectives and take satisfaction in achieving them. We want to be part of a successful team and business, and we make decisions quickly and implement them.

**Employee** **Engagement**

**Attracting** **Talent.** We believe our hardworking team of employees is our greatest asset. We employ approximately 2,469 people across 23 countries, and we believe that the skills, commitment and enthusiasm of our employees helps us to deliver long-term growth for investors.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Across our sites, we provide local support and opportunities for the next generation of talent in our industry by offering a range of placements, internships, work experience, and apprenticeships. We strive to attract and retain the best talent in a changing and competitive working environment.<br> **Pay and benefits.** We offer what we believe are competitive reward and recognition programs, based on both business-wide and individual performance. Our packages have been designed to attract and retain the best employees, reward achievement, and encourage our teams to deliver superior performance for our customers and our company. | *We have a very high level of staff retention, with 33% and 54% of our employees serving greater than 10 years and 5 years, respectively.*  |

---

In addition to our Company wide performance incentive plans, we encourage our employees to share in the long-term success of our Company with incentive programs, such as our Global Sharesave plan. This plan gives employees the opportunity to participate in a savings plan linked to an option to buy shares in Innospec at a discount and, therefore, benefit from any growth in the share price over the savings period. We also provide a range of other benefits in line with the market practice in each location we operate in, including insurance and pension arrangements.

**Performance Management Framework.** We conduct an annual performance management process across the organization. Together with their line managers, employees agree upon annual objectives, and, at the end of the year, review with their line manager their performance against those objectives and their overall performance. The results of each annual performance review affect performance bonus amounts, pay, adjustment and career advancement decisions.

**Senior** **Leadership** **Communications** **and** **Transparency.** We actively seek opportunities for regular engagement and communication by our CEO and other Senior Executives with our broader employee population. Communications are through a variety of means including written communications, webcasts and conference calls. For example, we hold a CEO Call at least once a year, during which the CEO and CFO discuss current issues and developments in the business, including a Q&A session answering questions raised by employees. The CEO Call is accessible to all employees across the Company. In addition to the CEO Calls, each financial quarter, following the quarterly financial results announcement, the CEO and CFO provide a written review of the financial results to all employees.

**Diversity** **and** **Inclusion**

Innospec aims to attract and retain the best people by making employment decisions that are based on merit, performance, ability, and contribution to the Company. As part of our Global HR Policies, our diversity and equal opportunities policy means that current and prospective employees receive equal opportunities irrespective of sex

or gender (including pregnancy, childbirth and pregnancy-related conditions), gender identity or expression, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, race, color, ethnic or national origin, age, disability, religion, creed or belief or any other characteristic protected by applicable local legislation.

**Health and** **Safety**

**Objectives.** We prioritize the safety of employees, communities and everyone involved in the manufacture, use or disposal of our products. We set high standards for process and occupational safety, which is managed by our network of Safety, Health and Environment ("SHE") professionals throughout the business. SHE is a top priority for Innospec with our three core objectives being:

<br> •No one gets hurt •We don't negatively impact our neighbors •We leave only the gentlest footprints on our environment <u> *It is our goal to make sure that everybody returns home safe at the end of the working day.* </u>

**Leadership.** The Company periodically reviews the Corporate SHE structure and organization so that we have the optimum resources and correct approach. We strive to embed SHE in our culture by having leadership that comes from executive management. Our Responsible Care Executive Committee (known as RESPECT) comprises members of the senior leadership team and is led by the CEO. RESPECT is responsible for setting the group's SHE policies and objectives across the global business. It also monitors ongoing performance in these areas throughout the year. Through this structure, we have established a strong culture of safety within our organization. The RESPECT committee reports to the Board and conducts a major review of objectives and performance annually alongside quarterly interim reviews.

**Training.** Training is an essential part of our health and safety strategy. To minimize the risk of accident or injury, we give our employees the information they need, delivered effectively and at the appropriate time. Our ongoing training programs demonstrate our commitment to targeting zero accidents, making sure that safety is always front of mind and that we continually raise standards.

Every year, employees across our sites take part in a variety of site-specific training courses to enable them to be competent and safe in their roles.

**Development** **and** **Training**

As an organization, we are committed to making Innospec a great company to work for and we invest, as appropriate, in the development of our employees to meet this ambition.

Our employees are offered both internal and external training, where appropriate, to support their continued development and to meet the needs of our business. Where relevant, we support our employees' ongoing professional training and development to encourage their progression within our business.

The Board is also actively involved in reviewing and approving executive compensation, selections and succession plans so that we have leadership in place with the requisite skills and experience to deliver results the right way. The CEO periodically provides the Board with an assessment of each Senior Executive that has the potential to be a successor for the CEO position, as well as perspectives on potential candidates for other senior management positions.

According to the Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee recommended to the Board that the Board submit the Class I Directors to the vote of stockholders. The above-named nominees will be elected to the Board on a plurality of the votes of the shares present or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote.

****Our*** ***"Majority***  ***Vote"*** ***Director***  ***Resignation*** **** ***Policy****

According to the procedure set out in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in an uncontested election, any nominee for director (including an incumbent director) who receives a greater number of votes "withheld" from his or her election than votes "for" such election, the nominee must offer his or her resignation promptly to the Board following certification of the stockholder vote. Upon receipt of the resignation, the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee will consider the resignation offer and recommend to the Board whether to accept it. The Board will act on the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee's recommendation within 120 days following certification of the stockholder vote. The Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee and the Board may consider any factors they deem relevant in deciding whether to accept a director's resignation. Thereafter, the Company will promptly disclose the Board's decision whether to accept the director's resignation offer (and the reasons for rejecting the resignation offer, if applicable) in a Current Report on Form 8-K furnished to the SEC. This resignation policy does not apply to contested director elections.

• NEDs may receive an additional daily fee of $2,000 for additional days provided at the specific request of the CEO.

• Each NED is entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with travel to and from, and attendance at, meetings of the Board or its Committees and related activities.

*Annual Equity grant:*

• Each NED also receives an annual grant of equity under the Innospec Inc. Long-Term Incentive Omnibus Plan (the "Omnibus Plan") in February of each year, equal to $125,000, based on the closing stock price for Company stock on the date prior to grant. In February 2025, such awards were equity awards in the form of restricted stock units granted at zero cost. Restricted stock units vest after three years.

• The value of the restricted stock units for the Directors included in the "Director Compensation" table, under the column headed "Stock Awards"; the table discloses the grant date fair value of full value awards made under the Omnibus Plan. The value of the restricted stock units is determined using the number of stock awarded and the grant date fair value for each stock awarded is calculated using the Black-Scholes model, with reference to the underlying stock price, volatility of the Company's stock price, risk free rate and expected dividend yield. For full value awards with additional characteristics, such as vesting criteria linked to stock market indices or stock price performance, a Monte Carlo simulation is used to model the range of potential outcomes. For further information on the assumptions underlying these grant date fair values refer to Note 18 of the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Director** **Stock** **Ownership** **Guidelines**

The Compensation Committee has determined that there should be a minimum stockholding requirement for the NEDs. All NEDs are required to acquire and hold stock valued at the equivalent of five times their annual cash retainer\*. These stock ownership levels must be reached within five years of appointment. At the end of 2025, the stockholding for each of the NEDs was greater than five times their annual cash retainer.

\* The following shares of Company stock shall count towards compliance with the Minimum Stockholding Levels:

a.Common stock held directly or indirectly for the benefit of immediate family members or in trust for the benefit of such person or such person's immediate family members

b.Common stock, deferred stock, and/or stock units held in Company retirement plans, deferred compensation plans, IRAs, stock purchase plans, or other deferred compensation plan

c.Full-value awards, including shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, and/or other full-value awards granted at zero cost and which vest solely based on time

Full-value awards subject to performance conditions, shares of common stock subject to outstanding stock options and other market-priced awards, and other awards which may be granted under Company equity plans shall not count towards compliance with Minimum Stockholding Levels.

Each late filing was due to administrative error and was filed no more than two days following the due date.

**Equity** **Compensation** **Plans**

The following table summarizes information, as of December 31, 2025, relating to our current equity compensation plans approved by security holders, pursuant to which grants of options, full value options, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other rights to acquire stock have been granted from time to time under the Company Stock Option Plan ("CSOP"), Performance Related Stock Option Plan ("PRSOP"), Non-Executive Directors Stock Option Plan ("NEDSOP") and Omnibus Plan.

The CSOP, PRSOP and the NEDSOP expired in May 2018, and no further options were granted under these plans after that date, although outstanding options granted under such plans remain exercisable until their respective expiration dates. Options and full value awards were granted under the Omnibus Plan. This plan provides for options exercisable for Common Stock and full value awards, such as restricted stock units and performance stock units that are settled in Common Stock, as well as cash incentive awards, which are payable in cash based on stock price.

We do not have any equity compensation plans that have not been approved by stockholders. Additional information about the CSOP, PRSOP and Omnibus Plan can be found in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement.

**PROPOSAL** **2** **–** **ADVISORY** **APPROVAL** **OF** **INNOSPEC** **INC.'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION**

(Item 2 on the Proxy Card)

Section 14A of the Exchange Act enables our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (NEOs), as disclosed in this Proxy Statement including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Compensation Tables and related material, in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC. In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are offering to our stockholders a non-binding, advisory vote on 2025 compensation for the NEOs, including the compensation of our CEO.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| The Board recommends<br>you vote **"FOR"**<br> the advisory resolution<br>approving<br>Named<br>Executive<br>Oﬃcer Compensation.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Innospec's goal for its executive compensation program is to attract, motivate and retain a talented, highly qualified team of executives who will provide leadership for our success in the competitive global markets we operate in. We seek to accomplish this goal in a way that is aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders. We believe that our executive compensation program is strongly aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders as it is competitive with the market, includes both short and long-term awards and is performance based, providing a strong link between executive compensation and the performance of the Company.<br> The Compensation Committee continually reviews the compensation programs for our NEOs to confirm that they achieve the desired goals of aligning our executive compensation structure with our stockholders' interests and current market practices. The Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 55 of this Proxy Statement describes the Company's executive compensation program in more detail. |

---

We believe that our executive compensation programs are structured in the best manner possible to support the Company and our business objectives. We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our NEO compensation as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section and the compensation tables and related narrative disclosure. This proposal, commonly known as a "say-on-pay" proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our NEOs' compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our NEOs and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we will ask our stockholders to vote "FOR" the following resolution at the Annual General Meeting:

**"RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to** **the Company's Named Executive Officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and related material disclosed in this Proxy Statement is hereby APPROVED."**

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding upon the Company. However, the Board will consider that the stockholders have approved executive compensation on an advisory basis if this proposal receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes present or represented by proxy. The Compensation Committee values the opinions that stockholders express through their votes and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions.

**PROPOSAL** **3** **–** **RATIFICATION** **OF** **THE** **APPOINTMENT** **OF THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNT** **ING FI** **RM**

(Item 3 on the Proxy Card)

The Board is seeking ratification of the appointment of PwC at the Annual Meeting in respect of the 2026 fiscal year.

The Audit Committee has appointed the accounting firm PwC to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the 2026 fiscal year, to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 and to perform other appropriate audit related services. PwC has served as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm since May 24, 2019.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Although current law, rules and regulations, as well as the charter of the Audit Committee, require the Audit Committee to engage, retain and supervise the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, the Board considers the selection of such firm to be an important matter of stockholder concern and is submitting the selection of PwC for ratification by stockholders as a matter of good corporate practice.<br> If our stockholders fail to ratify the selection, it will be considered a recommendation to the Board and the Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.<br> A representative of PwC will be available by telephone at the Annual Meeting. The available representative will have the opportunity to respond to questions and to make a statement if such representative desires to do so. | The Board recommends you vote **"FOR"** the ratification of PwC as our independent accounting firm for 2026.<br>|

**Audit** **Committee** **Pre-Approval** **Policies** **and** **Procedures**

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permitted non-audit services provided by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to the Audit Committee Chairman, provided all such delegated pre-approval decisions are reported to the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. General pre-approval of certain audit, audit-related and tax services, which are detailed as to type of service, is granted by the Audit Committee at each quarterly meeting. The Audit Committee subsequently reviews fees that are paid for such pre-approved services. Specific pre-approval is required for all other services that are requested of our independent registered public accounting firm. These requests are reviewed quarterly, and the status of all such requests and services is reviewed with the Audit Committee.

In fiscal years 2025 and 2024, the Company did not make any payments to its independent registered public accounting firm for which the de minimis exception was used.

A copy of the Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy can be found on our website under the heading Corporate Governance at <u>www.innospec.com/about-us/corporate-governance</u>

**AUDIT** **COMMITTEE** **REPORT**

The Board has adopted a written Audit Committee Charter. As part of fulfilling its responsibilities, the Audit Committee:

1. held meetings with the Company's Business Assurance function and the independent registered public accounting firm, both in the presence of management and privately to discuss the overall scope and plans for the respective audits, the results of the audits, the evaluations of the Company's internal controls and the overall quality of the Company's final reports;

2. reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025 with management and the independent registered public accounting firm;

3. discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC; and

4. received the written disclosure and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule regarding the independent accountant's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and discussed that firm's independence with representatives of that firm. The Audit Committee has also considered whether PwC's provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with its independence.

Based upon these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, that the Company's audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and filed with the SEC.

No portion of this Audit Committee Report shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), through any general statement incorporating by reference in its entirety this Proxy Statement in which this report appears, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this report or a portion of it by reference. In addition, this report shall not be deemed to be filed under either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

The foregoing report has been approved by all members of the Audit Committee.

****Compensation*** **** ***Philosophy****

The compensation philosophy of the Company is to link executive compensation to continuous improvement in corporate performance and increases in stockholder value, while at the same time allowing the Company to attract and retain the executive talent required to successfully manage our business. The overall compensation program is designed to motivate our employees to achieve business objectives and maximize their long-term commitment to our success. In determining compensation for the CEO and other NEOs, we primarily reference market median and consider other factors including individual experience and expertise, individual performance, internal pay equity and contribution to the Company. Refer to the "Competitive Market" section of the CD&A for a more detailed description of the relevant market data used for the CEO and other NEO salary comparisons.

****Compensation*** ***Elements***  ***and*** ***Performance***  ***Metrics****

The Compensation Committee seeks to achieve an appropriate balance between fixed and variable compensation elements to link a significant proportion of compensation to performance. The elements are designed to provide incentive for our NEOs to achieve goals that are important to the Company's success. No element of compensation is driven exclusively by tax, accounting or regulatory considerations. Further information on each of the key components of compensation is given in the Elements of Pay section below.

**Say-on-Pay**

*2025 Results*

At the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company conducted a non-binding advisory vote on its executive compensation. At that meeting, approximately 96.5% of the votes cast supported the resolution. The Compensation Committee noted the high level of stockholder support when reviewing its executive compensation programs. The Compensation Committee considers the outcome of the vote, the interaction of our compensation programs with our business objectives, input from the independent compensation consultant and executive market data when reviewing its executive compensation programs. Each of these factors is evaluated by the Compensation Committee in the exercise of its fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the Company. As part of its regular review process regarding executive compensation, the Compensation Committee has considered each of these factors and any modifications to its NEO compensation process are discussed herein.

****Role*** ***of***  ***the*** ***Compensation***  ***Committee****

The Compensation Committee of the Board oversees the Company's compensation programs and practices for NEOs and other key Executive Officers and Directors. The Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to the full Board approval of compensation for our NEOs, including salary, incentive programs, stock-based awards and compensation, retirement plans, perquisites and supplemental benefits, employment agreements, severance arrangements, change in control arrangements and other executive compensation matters.

The Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to the full Board approval of the compensation structure for our Directors at least biennially, including retainers, fees, stock-based awards and other compensation. This review is discussed under the "Director Compensation" section of this Proxy Statement.

The processes and procedures for the Compensation Committee oversight of compensation programs are discussed in the "Corporate Governance" section of this Proxy Statement.

****Role*** ***of***  ***the*** ***Compensation***  ***Consultant****

In 2025, advice to the Compensation Committee was provided by Exequity, an independent executive compensation consultancy. Exequity was retained by the Compensation Committee and has met with the Compensation Committee at least once and provided advice at other times during the year, as the Compensation Committee deemed appropriate. Exequity's services to the Compensation Committee included, among other things, providing perspective on market trends, analyses of market compensation levels and designs, and confirmation of peer group composition. Any other work undertaken by the compensation consultant for the Company must be approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Exequity and has determined that the firm does not have any conflict of interest with respect to the Company.

****Role*** ***of***  ***the*** ***Chief***  ***Executive*** ***Officer***  ***and*** ***Other***  ***Executive*** **** ***Officers****

Each year, the CEO, at the request of the Compensation Committee, provides his assessment of the performance of the other Executive Officers, including their achievement of individual objectives and contribution to overall business performance. He then recommends adjustments to base salary and other elements of compensation, if appropriate.

The Compensation Committee then reviews all elements of compensation for the NEOs, considering the recommendations of the CEO, as well as market data and information offered by the Senior Vice President, Human Resources ("SVP, HR"). The Compensation Committee also reviews all elements of compensation for the CEO and evaluates the CEO's performance in the achievement of those goals, considering the Chair of the Compensation Committee's review and assessment of the performance of the CEO, overall business performance and results, competitive market data and other relevant information provided by the SVP, HR. The CEO attends Compensation Committee meetings by invitation but does not attend the portion of any Compensation Committee meetings when his compensation is being determined.

|:---|:---|
| ![](inno-proxyimg012.gif)  | **\| 59** |

---

The Compensation Committee makes decisions relating to the compensation of the NEOs, including the CEO, which it recommends to the full Board for approval.

The SVP, HR assists the Compensation Committee by serving as the Compensation Committee's secretary and providing information on compensation as requested by the Compensation Committee.

****Competitive*** **** ***Market****

The Compensation Committee reviews competitive market data from two sources, a Chemical Industry Comparator Group ("Comparator Group") and a survey provided by Willis Towers Watson, as prepared by the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant.

The Comparator Group is the primary source of competitive market data used by the Compensation Committee when reviewing the compensation of the CEO and CFO and a secondary reference for other NEOs. The Comparator Group is reviewed at least biannually by the Compensation Committee. The companies included in the Comparator Group were selected by the Compensation Committee based on several factors, including industry, revenues, and market capitalization. The Comparator Group for 2025 consists of the following 16 companies:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; •AdvanSix Inc.<br> •Avient Corporation<br> •H.B. Fuller Company<br> •Minerals Technologies Inc.<br> •Quaker Chemical Corporation<br> •Stepan Company | &nbsp;&nbsp; •Balchem Corporation<br> •Ingevity Corporation<br> •NewMarket Corporation<br> •Rayonier Advanced Materials<br> •Element Solutions Inc | &nbsp;&nbsp; •Ashland Inc.<br> •Cabot Corporation<br> •Koppers Holding Inc.<br> •Orion Engineered Carbons S.A.<br> •Sensient Technologies Corporation |

---

As a secondary reference for the CEO and CFO and a primary reference for other NEOs, the Compensation Committee reviews Willis Towers Watson survey data for companies with revenues of $1 to $3 billion in revenue. These are standard Willis Towers Watson data sets and were not customized prior to use.

References to market data in this CD&A, unless otherwise noted, are to these foregoing sources.

**Elements** **of** **Pay**

Our Compensation Committee has designed our compensation program to align pay with performance. Our executives are rewarded for delivery of long-term stockholder value, performance against long and short-term financial targets, and personal objectives aligned to our strategy.

The material elements of compensation for the Company's NEOs are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Base salary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Short-term incentive;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Long-term incentives (consistent of RSUs and PSUs); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Other benefits (including retirement and supplemental plans, severance, change in control, employment agreements, and perquisites).

---

*Base Salary*

A base salary is provided to our NEOs. The level of base salary is reviewed on an annual basis and is adjusted, if appropriate, to recognize the scope and complexity of a role, market data and individual performance. The Compensation Committee references the median (50th percentile) and considers other factors including individual experience and expertise, overall performance, internal pay equity, and contribution to the Company. We believe this methodology enables us to remain competitive as an employer in our markets without incurring unnecessary costs. The Compensation Committee views Mr. Williams as key to the Company's continued success, given his unique skills and experience and his long and successful tenure as CEO and considers these factors in comparison to the relevant market.

Mr. Williams's base salary was $1,354,500 for 2025, which was not increased from 2024. Base salaries for the other NEOs increased according to the following table for 2025:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **NEO** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **2024 Base Salary** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Increase %** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **2025 Base Salary** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Mr. Ian P. Cleminson | &nbsp;&nbsp; $495708 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 5% | &nbsp;&nbsp; $520493 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Dr. Ian M. McRobbie | &nbsp;&nbsp; $293025 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 15% | &nbsp;&nbsp; $336979 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Mr. Corbin Barnes | &nbsp;&nbsp; $329188 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 7% | &nbsp;&nbsp; $352231 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Mr. David B. Jones | &nbsp;&nbsp; $386400 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 10% | &nbsp;&nbsp; $425040 |

---

*Annual Incentives*

The Company's Management Incentive Compensation Plan ("MICP") is a short-term incentive plan, which provides cash payments based on achievement against pre-determined financial goals approved by the Compensation Committee each year. Targets are set for corporate performance and business unit performance (where appropriate) and for personal performance against pre-determined objectives. All payments under the MICP related to the financial performance element are subject to an overall Corporate Operating Income performance threshold. If this threshold is not achieved, no payment relative to the financial performance element is made to any individual, regardless of business unit performance. For grants made for the 2024 year, all payments under the MICP related to the financial performance element were subject to an overall Corporate Operating Income performance threshold of 90%.

<u>**Change for 2025**</u>

In 2025, the Compensation Committee conducted a review of the Company's MICP program in coordination with Exequity. The Compensation Committee noted that, according to market practice, the financial performance threshold is normally lower than 90%. Therefore, the Compensation Committee approved lowering the threshold to 80% for the grants made for the 2025 year.

Therefore, all payments under the MICP for 2025 related to the financial performance element are subject to an overall Corporate Operating Income performance threshold of 80% of the agreed target for the year; if this target is not achieved, no payments related to this element under the MICP are made to any individual, regardless of business unit performance.

Further, where an individual's payment under the MICP includes a financial measure for a business unit, the business unit must also achieve a minimum of 80% of the operating income target or the individual will not receive any MICP bonus for that year related to the financial performance element, irrespective of overall corporate performance.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](inno-proxyimg012.gif)  | **\| 61** |

---

Actual MICP Bonus pay-outs are based on the following formula:

![](inno-proxyimg040.gif)

Mr. Williams's bonus at target was increased to 120% of his salary in 2025, and his maximum potential bonus is 276% of his salary. The target percentage for the other NEOs is 60% of their respective salaries, with a maximum potential MICP Bonus pay-out as a percentage of salary of 138%. The levels of MICP target bonus are reviewed periodically and compared to the relevant market.

The **Financial Performance Multiplier** is determined by the following table:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **% Business Achievement<br>against Target** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Financial Performance<br>Multiplier** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Less than 80% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 0 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 80% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 50% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 100% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 100% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Equal to or more than 130% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 250% |

---

The Financial Performance Multiplier increases on a linear basis between the data points listed in the table above up to the maximum multiplier listed. For example, a 90% Business Achievement results in a 75% Financial Performance Multiplier, and a 110% Business Achievement results in a 150% Financial Performance Multiplier.

The Compensation Committee reviews the financial performance measures and the allocation between business and personal performance each year to verify alignment with the Compensation Committee's philosophy. In 2025, the Compensation Committee determined that, consistent with the approach taken in the previous year, the appropriate measures were as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•<u>**<u>Corporate Operating Income (before nonrecurring items</u>**</u>**).** This is a measure of earnings and represents operating income adjusted to exclude certain one-time/nonrecurring items that are not reflective of our underlying operations for the period in which they are recorded and therefore mask our underlying trends. This measure accounts for 60% of the payout calculation in terms of weighting (75% of the Financial Performance Multiplier). In 2025, items adjusted out of this measure included amortization of intangible assets and UK pension buy-out costs. Exclusion of one-time/nonrecurring items during any given year for this purpose is approved by the Compensation Committee.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](inno-proxyimg012.gif)  | **\| 62** |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•<u>**<u>Corporate Free Cash Flow</u>**</u>**.** This is a measure of working capital management and represents corporate operating cash flow after capital expenditure and before the cash effect of one-time/non-recurring items, which in 2025 included legacy costs associated with historical environmental liabilities. This measure accounts for 20% of the payout calculation in terms of weighting (25% of the Financial Performance Multiplier).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•<u>**<u>Personal</u>**</u> <u>**<u>Performance</u>**</u> <u>**<u>against</u>**</u> <u>**<u>Objectives</u>**</u>**.** Annual personal objectives for each NEO are established by the Compensation Committee and tailored to reflect each NEO's specific role and responsibilities. This measure accounts for 20% of the payout calculation in terms of weighting (100% of the Personal Performance Multiplier).

Corporate operating income before nonrecurring items and corporate free cash flow are non-GAAP measures. In addition, the Compensation Committee determines whether the performance measures for any NEO should also include operating income and operating cash flow for the relevant individual businesses, based on the NEO's specific role and responsibilities. This determination is made at the start of the year. These measures were chosen to align the NEOs with the balanced objectives of increasing earnings and improving cash flow through working capital management, which the Compensation Committee believes are key to the success of the Company. Personal objectives are specific to the business unit(s) or function within which the NEO operates. In addition to the personal element shown in the formula above, if an individual's overall performance assessment for the year is below satisfactory, then no MICP bonus is paid to that individual.

Maximum incentive payments under the financial performance component of the MICP are awarded when the Company or, where relevant, an individual business unit exceeds its target performance measures by 30%.

The **Personal** **Performance** **Multiplier** is determined by the following table:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Marks out** **of 50 against Personal Objectives** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Personal Performance Multiplier** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 46 – 50 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 150% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 41 – 45 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 125% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 36 – 40 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 100% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 31 – 35 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 50% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 26 – 30 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 25% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 25 or less | &nbsp;&nbsp; 0 |

---

In assessing individual performance on personal objectives for each NEO, the Compensation Committee uses the following rigorous process:

Annual personal objectives for each NEO are established by the Compensation Committee at the start of the financial year. These objectives are also designed to focus on delivery of high performance, considering the economic and business challenges the Company faces. The Compensation Committee annually reviews the scoring mechanism for personal objectives to make sure performance is appropriately rewarded. Each objective is weighed to give a maximum potential total score of 50. A good performance on the personal objectives is defined as achieving an overall score at the end of the year of 36 to 40 and earning the target level for the 20% based on personal objectives. Achievement of a maximum score of 46 to 50 represents exceptional performance against the personal objectives and increases the 20% of the overall target MICP bonus based on personal objectives by a factor of 50% as shown in the table above.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](inno-proxyimg012.gif)  | **\| 63** |

---

At the end of the year, as part of the annual performance review process, the CEO reviews the performance of each NEO against the established personal objectives and makes his recommendation to the Compensation Committee. In the case of the CEO, this assessment is made by the Compensation Committee following an interview session with the Chair of the Compensation Committee and a detailed review of the CEO's annual self-assessment. The final scoring for the NEOs and CEO is reviewed and approved by the full Compensation Committee and then taken to the full Board for final approval.

The consolidated financial performance targets set for annual MICP payments purposes and the actual level achieved for the Company in 2025 were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Financial Performance Measure** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Target Set for Annual MICP Bonus Purposes**  | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Actual Achieved for MICP Bonus Purposes** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Achievement** **as % of Target** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **% of Target MICP Bonus Achieved** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Corporate Operating Income (before nonrecurring items) | &nbsp;&nbsp; $174.868 million | &nbsp;&nbsp; $151.813 million | &nbsp;&nbsp; 87% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 67.5% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Corporate Free Cash Flow (before nonrecurring items) | &nbsp;&nbsp; $74.068 million | &nbsp;&nbsp; $64.516 million | &nbsp;&nbsp; 87% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 67.5% |

****Long-Term Incentive*** **** ***Plans****

The Compensation Committee believes that equity-based long-term incentive awards are an important element of overall compensation for the Company's NEOs. They are designed to provide a focus on achievement of performance goals that help create long-term value for stockholders, act as retention incentives for executives and, through the ownership of Common Stock of the Company, encourage strategic decision-making that is aligned with the interests of stockholders.

<u>**Omnibus** **Plan**</u>

The Omnibus Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options, full-value awards and cash incentive awards. Full value awards consisting of stock-settled time-based Restricted Stock Unit awards ("RSUs") and cash and stock-settled performance-based Restricted Stock Unit awards ("PSUs") were granted under the Omnibus Plan to the NEOs in 2025.

RSUs granted under the Omnibus Plan in 2025 become vested on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the participant's continued employment except as described below. Upon vesting, shares subject to these awards are transferred to the participant's nominated brokerage account. In the event the participant's termination date occurs for any reason other than death, disability, retirement, or an involuntary termination without cause, any unvested awards shall be forfeited, and in the event the participant's termination date occurs by reason of death, disability, retirement or an involuntary termination without cause, unvested awards shall be forfeited unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise in its sole discretion.

PSUs granted under the Omnibus Plan in 2025 require the achievement of specified performance criteria over a three-year performance period to vest as described below. Additionally, PSUs granted in 2025 are subject to the same three-year service vesting requirements described above for RSUs under the Omnibus Plan rules, except in certain circumstances, if a participant ceases to be employed with the Company, all unvested awards are forfeited. If the participant ceases employment by reason of death, disability, retirement, or involuntary termination without cause, all unvested awards are forfeited unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise in its sole discretion.

PSUs granted in 2025 consist of both stock-settled PSUs and cash-settled PSUs. For stock-settled PSUs, upon vesting, the number of shares equal to the number of earned stock-settled PSUs are transferred to the participant's nominated brokerage account. For cash-settled PSUs, upon vesting, the participant shall be entitled to a cash payment equal to the number of earned cash-settled PSUs multiplied by the closing stock price of the Company on the settlement date.

The criteria for PSUs made in 2025 under the Omnibus Plan, where vesting is conditional on achievement of specific performance measures, are based on relative performance of TSR versus the Comparator Group, measured over a three-year period starting with the financial year of the date of grant, the growth in sales revenue for the Company and the growth in earnings per share. Total vesting for the 2025 awards is based on the following formula:

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Proportion** **of** **the 40%<br>allocated to<br>TSR Vesting** | ![](inno-proxyimg041.gif)  | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Proportion of the<br>20% allocated<br>to growth** **in** **Revenue** **Vesting** | ![](inno-proxyimg041.gif)  | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Proportion** **of** **the<br>40% allocated<br>to** **growth** **in** **EPS** **Vesting** | ![](inno-proxyimg042.gif)  | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Total** **Vesting** **Percentage** |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](inno-proxyimg012.gif)  | **\| 68** |

The performance components are determined by the following levels of growth, which must be achieved before awards vest:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Performance Percentile Ranking of TSR vs. Comparator Group from 2025-2027** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Proportion of the 40%** **allocated to<br>TSR vesting** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 75% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 200% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 50% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 100% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 25% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 50% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Less than 25% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 0%(nil) |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Growth** **in Revenue in 2027 vs.<br>2024 actual** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Proportion of the 20% allocated** **to growth in Revenue vesting** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Total growth vs. 2024 actual 30% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 200% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Total growth vs. 2024 actual 10% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 100% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Total growth vs. 2024 actual -10% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 50% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Less than -10% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 0%(nil) |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Growth in Earnings per Share (EPS) in 2027 vs. 2024 actual** | &nbsp;&nbsp; Proportion of the 40% allocated to growth in EPS vesting |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Total growth vs. 2024 actual 55% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 200% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Total growth vs. 2024 actual 15% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 100% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Total growth vs. 2024 actual -10% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 25% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Less than -10% | &nbsp;&nbsp; 0%(nil) |

---

Awards vest on a straight-line interpolated basis between each threshold listed above up to the maximum percentage listed in each table. For example, a total growth in EPS of -8% versus the 2024 actual would result in 31% of the PSUs vesting. Innospec TSR performance is compared to Comparator Group companies, and its relative percentile ranking determines the corresponding payout based on the schedule displayed above, with linear interpolation determining payouts between levels listed in the table above.

The grants are issued on a date set by the Compensation Committee each year. This is usually after the public announcement of annual financial results. The Compensation Committee determines the grant date to be used in advance and determines the number of RSUs and PSUs to be granted by dividing the target value for each executive (determined as described below in the Grant Policy Section) by the price of a share of stock (the stock price used is typically the closing stock price at the end of the day prior to the agreed grant date).

The Committee does not consider material non-public information when determining the timing or terms of equity awards, nor do we time disclosures of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation with such awards.

The RSUs and PSUs granted under the Omnibus Plan are intended to deliver an overall long-term incentive award in line with the grant policy as detailed below.

<u>**Grant Policy**</u>

In setting the policy for fair value of the awards granted under the Omnibus Plan, the Compensation Committee considered market median practice in both the U.S. and the U.K., given the number of executives who are based in the U.K. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee for a particular executive, the grant policy provides for the fair value of the target amounts as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Fair Value of Grants of RSUs and PSUs<br>as % of base salary** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Chief Executive Officer | &nbsp;&nbsp; 250% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Executive Officers | &nbsp;&nbsp; 110% |

---

The Compensation Committee determined the actual levels of grant utilizing the following matrices taking account of personal performance where:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Rating 1 | Outstanding performance | - 150% of policy is granted |
| Rating 2 | Exceeding expectations | - 125% of policy is granted |
| Rating 3 | Good performance | - 100% of policy is granted |
| Rating 4 or 5 | Below Expectations | - No grant is made |

---

The personal rating impacts on the amount of actual grant awarded as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Chief Executive Officer** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Chief Executive Officer** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Executive Officers** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Executive Officers** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Performance rating** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Fair Value of Grants of RSUs and<br>PSUs as % of base salary** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Performance rating** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Fair Value of Grants of RSUs and<br>PSUs as % of base salary** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 1 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 375 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 1 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 165 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 2 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 312.5 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 2 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 137.5 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 3 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 250 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 3 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 110 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 4 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 0 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 4 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 0 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; 5 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 0 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 5 | &nbsp;&nbsp; 0 |

---

The performance of the NEOs, other than the CEO, is assessed by the CEO and the Compensation Committee. The CEO recommends a rating to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews these and separately assesses the performance of the CEO and makes a final recommendation on performance ratings for all Executive Officers to the full Board for approval. This provides a rigorous performance-related grant policy, in addition to the performance elements of the grants themselves.

In 2025, Mr. Williams was granted long-term incentive awards at 150% of the policy levels for this role (which means that the fair value of his RSU and PSU grant amount was equal to 375% of his base salary). In the case of the other NEOs, based on the assessment of their individual performance as approved by the Committee, all except Mr. Cleminson were eligible for awards at 150% of the policy level (which means that the fair value of their RSU and PSU grant amounts was equal to 165% of their respective base salaries). To recognize Mr. Cleminson's increased value to the CEO in his role as CFO, in 2025 the Compensation Committee increased the base policy level from 110% to 125% for his role. Therefore, the fair value of RSU and PSU grant amounts for Mr. Cleminson was equal to 187.5% of his base salary.

|:---|:---|
| ![](inno-proxyimg012.gif)  | **\| 70** |

---

In line with the Compensation Committee's policy, 70% of the fair value of the awards due under the policy will be made in the form of cash-settled and stock-settled PSUs under the Omnibus Plan, with the remaining 30% made in the form of RSUs.

The Compensation Committee has determined that to help manage burn rates, the level of full-value stock-settled awards in any one year should be restricted to a burn rate of no more than 1% of the Company's stock outstanding with the balance of long-term incentives granted as cash-settled PSUs that do not impact the burn rate. In 2025, the level of RSUs and stock-settled PSUs under the policy was less than 1% of the Company's stock outstanding.

<u>**Exceptional Stock and Option** **Awards**</u>

The Compensation Committee also has the discretion to grant full value awards, options and cash incentive awards under the Omnibus Plan outside of the stated policy to reflect extraordinary corporate performance. In addition, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to grant full value awards, options and cash incentive awards under the Omnibus Plan outside of the standard policy levels and annual grant process for retention or recruitment purposes. In 2025, no such awards were made to any of the NEOs.

**Other** **Pay** **Programs** **and** **Policies**

****Stock***  ***Ownership Guidelines****

To further align stockholder and Executive Officer interests, the Company has continued to require minimum stockholding levels for the Executive Officers. In 2025, the Compensation Committee reviewed the company's Stock Ownership Guidelines which resulted in updates to the Guidelines that align more closely with market norms. The CEO is now required to acquire and hold stock valued at the equivalent of five times his base salary and all other Executive Officers are still required to acquire and hold stock valued at the equivalent of two times their base salary. Stock which is registered in the Executive Officer's name or held beneficially in a "street name" on behalf of such Executive Officer as well as unvested RSUs are considered for these purposes. These levels of stockholding must be reached within five years of appointment to an Executive Officer role. At the end of 2025, all NEOs were compliant with the Company's Stock Ownership Guidelines.

****Non-qualified*** ***Deferred***  ***Compensation*** **** ***Plan****

The Company offers a Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Plan"). The select group of highly compensated employees eligible for the Deferred Plan is designated by the Company in its sole discretion, subject to top hat requirements. Eligible participants are permitted to elect to defer up to 25% of their base salary and up to 100% of any performance-based compensation which is paid in cash. In 2025, Mr. Williams and Mr. Jones were the only NEOs eligible to participate in the Deferred Plan.

The Company may make discretionary contributions in any given Deferred Plan year equal to the amount of Company contributions that would have otherwise been allocated to the participant under a qualified plan. In this case, such Company contributions are equal to the amount of the participant's eligible profit-sharing contributions that exceed IRS employee plus employer contribution limits under the qualified plan. Additionally, the Company has complete discretion to determine each year whether to make an additional annual contribution on behalf of some or all participants in the Deferred Plan. Other discretionary employer contribution factors may include, but are not limited to, achievement of Company financial performance objectives. In 2026, Mr. Williams was credited with a discretionary Company contribution of $38,359, which accrued during fiscal year 2025. In 2026, Mr. Jones was also credited with a discretionary Company contribution of $38,359, which accrued during fiscal year 2025.

The amounts deferred are credited to accounts hypothetically invested in investments selected by the participant that mirror the investment alternatives available in the Company's qualified retirement savings plans subject to Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 401(a). Each participant in the Deferred Plan is 100% vested in that portion of their account that is attributable to employee elective deferrals. For participants receiving an employer discretionary contribution, the "3 Year Cliff" vesting schedule from the date of contribution applies.

---

Distribution of a participant's vested accounts for participants who have reached Retirement (i.e. age 50 with a minimum of five years of service) will begin within 60 days of the participant's separation from service, pursuant to the form of payment selected (lump-sum or installments over a period not to exceed 10 years) on properly executed election forms. Vested account benefits will be paid in one lump sum to the participant's beneficiary in the event of the participant's death in service. A participant's vested account benefits will be paid to the participant in one lump sum in the event of separation from service that is not a Retirement. The Deferred Plan is subject to the rules of IRC Section 409A, which restricts the timing of distributions made to specified employees. As a result, commencement of payments to any eligible NEO participating in the Deferred Plan must be delayed for at least six months after separation from service.

*Other Benefits and Perquisites*

We provide our NEOs with pension arrangements, and life, disability and medical insurance coverage consistent with that provided to all full-time employees or senior managers, as applicable, in the relevant geographic area. In addition, we provide a company car or car allowance to our NEOs in some regions, consistent with that provided to all senior employees in that region. Full details are set out in the table "All Other Compensation", following the "Summary Compensation Table."

*Post-termination Compensation*

Post-termination arrangements vary depending on the nature of the termination event and are designed to be in accordance with U.S. and U.K. market norms, depending on where the executive is based. Full details are set out in the footnotes to the "Post Employment Payments" table.

****Employment*** ***Agreements****

Each of the NEOs has a rolling 12-month employment agreement with the Company. Under these agreements, the Company can terminate the agreement without cause by giving one year's notice to the NEO. In the case of Mr. Williams, he can terminate the agreement by giving the Company one year's notice, while the other NEOs are required to give the Company six months' notice if they wish to terminate the agreement. The employment agreement for each of the NEOs also includes a "Change of Control" clause. This specifies that, in the event of a change of control of the Company, if the Company terminates the NEO within 12 months after the change of control, or if the NEO terminates their employment within 12 months for good reason, the NEO will be entitled to a compensation payment. If the Company terminates the employment of the NEO during this period, the payment is calculated as 24 months' compensation, defined as base salary, bonus at target and any car allowance from the date of notice of termination. If the NEO terminates their employment for good reason during this period, the payment is calculated as 24 months' compensation, as defined above, from the date of the change of control. In addition, under the rules of the stock option plans, all options would vest on the change of control. The NEOs are treated in the same way as other employees who hold options under the plans. A change of control is deemed to have occurred if a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company; there is a consolidation or merger and the Company is not the surviving company; the stockholders of the Company approve plans or proposals for a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or, if, following a cash offer or merger, the members of the Board cease to constitute a majority of the Board. In addition, under their employment agreement, each of the NEOs, including the CEO and the CFO, is subject to a 12-month non-solicitation period, with respect to customers and employees, and a 12-month non-compete period, from the date their employment with the Company ends.

****Indemnification*** ***Agreements****

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of the Directors and NEOs in furtherance of the indemnification provisions contained in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which indemnify the directors and officers of the Company to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law. The indemnification agreements provide for indemnification arising out of specified indemnifiable events, such as events relating to the fact that the indemnitee is or was a director or officer or agent of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or is or was a director, officer member, manager, trustee or agent of another entity at the request of the

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](inno-proxyimg012.gif)  | **\| 72** |

---

Company, including any action or inaction by the indemnitee in such a capacity. The indemnification agreements provide for advancement of expenses prior to final adjudication of the claim. To the extent that indemnification is unavailable, the agreements provide for contribution. The indemnification agreements set forth procedures relating to indemnification claims. The agreements also provide for maintenance of directors' and officers' liability insurance.

*All Employee Sharesave Plan*

The Company provides a broad-based employee stock purchase plan, which gives eligible employees the right to acquire Common Stock through payroll deductions over a pre-determined period at a purchase price which reflects a 15% discount (20% for participants outside of the U.S.) to the market price of our Common Stock as of the beginning of the offering period. In general, deductions are made over a 24-month period (36 months for participants outside the U.S.). No participant may purchase more than $25,000 in value of Common Stock under this plan in any calendar year. Mr. Williams, Mr. Cleminson and Dr. McRobbie participated in the Sharesave Plan in 2025.

*Clawback Policy*

In 2023, the Company adopted a clawback policy as required by the requirements of Rule 10D-1 (which was adopted by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to implement a mandate of Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) and the requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards adopted pursuant to Rule 10D-1. The clawback policy requires clawback of erroneously paid incentive compensation paid to current and former executive officers in the event of a restatement of the Company's financial statements (without regard to the fault of the executive). Restatements that trigger such recoupment include restatements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement applicable to the Company under the federal securities laws and restatements to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. Except in very limited circumstances, in the event of such a restatement, the clawback policy requires the recoupment of incentive compensation paid to the executive officer in excess of the amount that would have been paid if the amount of such incentive compensation had been based on the restated financial statements.

****U.S. Tax***  ***Matters****

IRC Section 162(m) limits the deductibility of annual compensation in excess of $1 million paid to "covered employees" (as defined by the IRC) of the Company with some limited exceptions for compensation paid pursuant to certain arrangements in place on November 2, 2017. For 2018 and after, our covered employees generally include anyone who (i) was the CEO or CFO at any time during the year, (ii) was one of the other NEOs who was an Executive Officer as of the last day of the fiscal year, and (iii) was a covered employee for any previous year after 2016.

As with prior years, although the Compensation Committee will consider deductibility under IRC Section 162(m) with respect to the compensation arrangements for Executive Officers, deductibility will not be the sole factor used in determining appropriate levels or methods of compensation. Since our compensation objectives may not always be consistent with the requirements for full deductibility, we and our subsidiaries may enter into or modify compensation arrangements under which payments would not be deductible under Section 162(m) if the Compensation Committee believes that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

In addition, IRC Section 409A imposes restrictions on non-qualified deferred compensation plans. The deferred compensation plans maintained by the Company are structured to either be exempt from the requirements of IRC Section 409A or, if not exempt, to satisfy the requirements of IRC Section 409A, and the Company has reviewed and, where appropriate, has amended each of its deferred compensation plans to meet the requirements of IRC Section 409A.

****Impact*** ***of Accounting Treatment****

The Company accounts for employee stock options, RSUs, PSUs and its employee Sharesave plan in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For further information on stock-based compensation, see Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Footnotes** **to** **"Summary** **Compensation** **Table":**

(1) Mr. Williams, Mr. Barnes, and Mr. Jones are paid in U.S. dollars. All the other NEOs above are paid in GB Pounds Sterling. For the purposes of the "Summary Compensation Table", a GB Pound Sterling to U.S. Dollar exchange rate of 1.24 is used for 2023, 1.28 for 2024 and 1.31 for 2025, being the average exchange rates for the relevant year.

(2) The value of the full value awards for all NEOs listed above for 2025 discloses the grant date fair value of full value awards made under the Omnibus Plan. The value of the full value awards is determined using the number of shares of stock awarded and the grant date fair value for each share awarded is calculated using the Black-Scholes model, with reference to the underlying stock price, exercise price of the awards, volatility of the Company's stock price, risk free rate and expected dividend yield. For full value awards with additional characteristics, such as vesting criteria linked to stock market indices or stock price performance, a Monte Carlo simulation is used to model the range of potential outcomes. For further information on the assumptions underlying these grant date fair values refer to Note 18 of the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

(3) The value of the option awards for all NEOs listed above discloses the grant date fair value of options awarded under the Omnibus Plan and the grant date fair value of any cash incentive awards granted in lieu of stock option awards and full value awards as required by the terms of the grant. The value of the option awards and cash incentive awards is determined using the number of options awarded and, for the cash incentive awards, the number of units awarded, and the grant date fair value for each option or unit made in the year. The grant date fair values on Company stock options and cash incentive awards are calculated in the same way as the full value awards above. No cash incentive awards in 2025 were granted at market price.

(4) The Non-Equity Incentive Compensation for all NEOs listed above, for 2024, relates to incentive compensation earned for the stated year under the MICP and the additional Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2022 LTIP"). For 2023 and 2025, the amounts listed under Non-Equity Incentive Compensation relate to incentive compensation earned under the MICP only, as no payments were due in those years under the 2022 LTIP.

(5) The amounts reflected under "All Other Compensation" for 2025 are identified in the "All Other Compensation" table below. Other than where specified below, where any perquisites and personal benefits are provided to a NEO which are not generally available on a non-discriminatory basis to all employees in that business unit, their total value for any NEO was less than $10,000 in the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Footnotes** **to** **"All** **Other** **Compensation"** **table:**

(1)NEOs based in the U.K. are entitled to a leased company car or an allowance in lieu of a car. The allowance is set at £13,650 ($17,881) per annum. Mr. Cleminson and Dr. McRobbie elected to receive the allowance in 2025.

(2)Mr. Cleminson and Dr. McRobbie did not participate in any pension plan due to U.K. government limits on total pension provision, and as a result received a salary supplement of 20% of their base salary in lieu of any pension provision. The amounts paid to individuals are detailed under "Pension Allowance" in the "All Other Compensation" table.

(3)The Company provides a number of defined contribution retirement plans for employees. The amount paid into these defined contribution retirement plans in 2025 for Mr. Williams, Mr. Jones and Mr. Barnes is detailed above under "Retirement Contribution" in the "All Other Compensation" table. No other NEOs received contributions

in such plans. In the case of Mr. Williams, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Barnes there is a limit set by the IRS for the amount that can be paid into a qualified 401(k) plan and as a result, the amount paid into the 401(k) plan by the Company for Mr. Williams, Mr. Jones and Mr. Barnes was capped at this limit. In 2025, the amount paid by the Company into Mr. Williams's 401(k) plan account was $46,500, and $46,500 was also paid by the Company into both Mr. Jones's and Mr. Barnes's 401(k) plan accounts. The Company offers a nonqualified deferred compensation retirement plan in the U.S. for a select group of U.S. based highly compensated employees, to include eligible NEOs based in the U.S. In 2025, Mr. Williams and Mr. Jones were the only NEOs who were eligible to participate in this plan. Consistent with the approach taken for all impacted employees who were eligible to participate in this plan, in the case of Mr. Williams, the Company made an employer discretionary payment in the amount of $37,998 into the non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which was equal to the excess amount over the IRS limit which would otherwise have been paid into the 401(K) plan by the Company. In the case of Mr. Jones, the company also made an employer discretionary payment in the amount of $37,998 into the non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which was equal to the excess amount over the IRS limit which would otherwise have been paid into the 401(K) plans by the Company. The amount of $84,498 paid to Mr. Williams, $46,500 paid to Mr. Barnes and $84,498 paid to Mr. Jones detailed under "Retirement Contribution" in the "All Other Compensation Table" are the total amounts contributed by the Company into the 401(k) plan and the non-qualified deferred compensation plan for Mr. Williams, Mr. Barnes and Mr. Jones.

(4)The NEOs are eligible for healthcare insurance and life and disability insurance through programs which are available to salaried employees in the relevant business unit. The cost of programs is detailed under "Healthcare" and "Insurances", respectively, in the "All Other Compensation" table.

(5)Mr. Williams received payments of $9,120 for business cell phone and work-from-home internet services, $8,500 for medical concierge services, $40,000 for college alma mater suite for home games, $750 for clothing, and $45,080 relating to 50% of the cost of country/golf club memberships.

****Employment*** **** ***Agreements****

Each of the NEOs has a rolling twelve-month employment agreement with the Company. Under these agreements, the Company can terminate the agreement without cause by giving one year's notice to the NEO. In the case of Mr. Williams, he can terminate the agreement by giving the Company one year's notice, while the other NEOs are required to give the Company six months' notice if they wish to terminate the agreement. The employment agreement for each of the NEOs also includes a "Change of Control" clause which is described in more detail in the narrative following the "Post Employment Payments" table.

In addition, under the employment agreement, Mr. Williams is entitled to a target bonus under the MICP of 120% of his base salary, with a potential maximum MICP bonus of 276%. In 2025, all the other NEOs were entitled to a target bonus under the MICP of 60% of their base salary, with a maximum potential MICP bonus of 138%. Each NEO is also entitled to participate in long-term incentive plans which have been described in more detail, including grant policy for different NEOs, in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section above.

Each NEO is also able to participate in the pension arrangements relevant for the business unit and country where they are based. In the case of Mr. Williams, Mr. Barnes and Mr. Jones, they participate in a Defined Contribution plan in line with other U.S. based employees and details of the amount paid into the plan are provided in the "Summary Compensation Table". They are also eligible to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation retirement plan, in line with other eligible employees in the U.S. Details of the amount paid into this plan are included in the "All Other Compensation" table and further information is provided in the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation table on page 83. Mr. Cleminson and Dr. McRobbie do not participate in the defined contribution plan for U.K. based employees due to limits on pension provision set by the U.K. government and in line with the approach for other impacted U.K. employees, they receive a 20% salary supplement in lieu of pension provision. Details of the amounts of salary supplements paid are provided in the "All Other Compensation" table.

The employment agreements for each NEO also provide medical insurance and life and disability insurance through programs, which are available to most salaried employees in the relevant part of the business unit. The costs of these insurances are provided in the "All Other Compensation" table.

In addition, under his employment agreement, each of the NEOs, including the CEO and the CFO, is subject to a twelve-month non-solicitation period, with respect to customers and employees, and a twelve-month non-compete period, from the date their employment with the Company ends.

**Restricted Stock awards.** Restricted Stock awards are detailed under "All Other Stock Awards" in the rows labelled (2). The grant date fair value for these awards granted at zero cost has been determined using the fair value of the Company's stock on date of grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The Estimated Future Pay-Outs Under Equity Awards column in the "Grants of Plan-Based Awards" table details the following types of awards made under the Omnibus Plan:

**Full** **Value** **a** **wards.** Full value awards were granted at zero cost, i.e. with an exercise price of zero and normally vest after three years, provided that specified performance criteria are achieved as set by the Compensation Committee. The full value awards are detailed under "Estimated Future pay-outs under Equity Plan Awards" in the row labelled (1).

**Cash Incentive Awards granted at zero cost**. Cash incentive awards were also made in the form of units with payout equal to the number of units that become vested multiplied by the fair market value of a share, and normally vest after three years, subject to achievement of performance criteria set by the Compensation Committee. Cash Incentive Awards granted at zero cost are detailed under "Estimated Future Pay-outs under Equity Incentive Plan Awards" in the rows under the grant date labelled (3) in the table above.

In 2025, the relative weighting and performance criteria for both the full value awards and the cash incentive awards granted at zero costs detailed in the rows labelled (1) and (3) were:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•40% weighting on the relative performance of the Company's Total Stockholder Return versus the average Total Stockholder Return of the compensation peer group. The threshold level is set at 25% of the average peer group performance over three years, in which case 50% of the full value awards and cash incentive awards granted at zero cost will vest. The target level is set at 50% of the peer group average performance, in which case 100% of the full value awards and cash incentive awards granted at zero cost will vest and the maximum level is set at 75% of the peer group average performance, in which case 200% of all the granted full value awards and cash incentive awards granted at zero cost will vest

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•20% weighting on the compound increase per annum in sales revenue. The threshold level is set at a total growth of -10% versus the 2024 actual figure, in which case 50% of the full value awards and cash incentive awards granted at zero cost will vest. The target level is set at a total growth of 10% versus the 2024 actual figure, in which case 100% of the full value awards and cash incentive awards granted at zero cost will vest and the maximum level is set at a total growth of 30% versus the 2024 actual figure, in which case 200% of the granted full value awards and cash incentive awards granted at zero cost will vest

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•40% weighting on the compound increase per annum in earnings per share ("EPS"). The threshold level is set at a total growth of -10% versus the 2024 actual figure, in which case 25% of the full value awards and cash incentive awards granted at zero cost will vest. The target level is set at a total growth of 15% versus the 2024 actual figure, in which case 100% of the full value awards and cash incentive awards granted at zero cost will vest and the maximum level is set at a total growth of 55% versus the 2024 actual figure in which case 200% of the full value awards and cash incentive awards granted at zero cost will vest

**MICP**. Payment under the MICP is based on achievement of pre-determined financial goals and personal objectives set by the Board each year. The threshold level is set at 80% achievement of the financial goals, and the target payment is earned for 100% achievement of the financial goals. The maximum payment is earned for 130% achievement of the financial goals. The potential awards for 2025 are detailed in the table in the row under the grant date heading labelled (4). As this is an annual non-equity incentive plan, no grant date is disclosed.

**Footnotes to the "Non-qualified Deferred Compensation" table**

(1)These amounts, if any, are included in the Summary Compensation Table in the "Salary" and "Non-Equity Incentive Compensation" columns for 2025. Mr. Williams did not make any contributions into the Deferred Compensation plan in 2025.

(2)The amounts disclosed for Mr. Williams and Mr. Jones include employer elective deferrals of $37,998 for both, which accrued during fiscal year 2025 and credited to their accounts in 2026. These amounts are included in the Summary Compensation Table in the "All Other Compensation" column for 2025.

(3)These amounts are not included in the Summary Compensation Table because Plan earnings were not preferential or above market.

(4)Withdrawal and distribution amounts, if any, are not included in the Summary Compensation Table because these are pay-outs of prior years' earnings and contributions. There were no withdrawals or distributions in 2025.

(5)These amounts are as of December 31, 2025, and do not take into account the amounts in the "Registrant Contributions in Last Fiscal Year" column in the table above that were accrued during fiscal year 2025 but were credited to Mr. Williams's and Mr. Jones's accounts in 2026 as detailed above.

**Footnotes to "Post Employment** **Payments" table:**

• In the case of resignation or dismissal for cause, none of the NEOs would be entitled to any post-employment payments from the Company.

• The NEOs are treated in line with all other employees in the event of retirement or change of control in terms of payments relating to stock options, full value awards and cash incentive awards. In the case of retirement, under the rules of the Omnibus Plan, any Omnibus options or cash incentive awards granted at market price will vest and become exercisable; while under the rules of the Omnibus Plan full value awards or cash incentive awards granted at zero price which have not vested will lapse, unless the Compensation Committee deems it appropriate to exercise their discretion and allow a proportion of unvested awards to vest. The amounts detailed in the table above assume no such discretion has been exercised. The value of any stock options, full value awards and cash incentive awards which will become exercisable under each scenario, using the 2025-year-end stock price of $76.54, is included in the table above, as an indication.

• The employment agreement for each NEO includes a change of control clause. This specifies that, in the event of a change of control of the Company, if the Company terminates the NEO within twelve months of the change of control, or if the NEO terminates his employment within twelve months for good cause, the NEO will be entitled to a compensation payment. If the Company terminates the employment of the NEO during this period, the payment is calculated as twenty-four months compensation defined as base salary, bonus at target and any car allowance from the date of notice of termination. If the NEO terminates his employment, the payment is calculated as twenty-four months' compensation, defined as above, from the date of the change of control. In addition, under the rules of the Omnibus Plan, all options, full value awards and cash incentive awards would vest upon termination due to the change of control. The NEOs are treated in the same way as other employees who hold options, full value awards or cash incentive awards under the plans. Change of control is deemed to have occurred if a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company; there is a consolidation or merger and the Company is not the surviving Company; the stockholders of the Company approve plans or proposals for a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or, if following a cash offer or merger, the members of the Board cease to constitute a majority of the Board. The amounts detailed in the Post Employment Payments table include the compensation payments and the value of any stock options, full value awards and cash incentive awards which will become exercisable in these scenarios, using the 2025-year-end stock price of $76.54 as an indication.

• NEOs based in the U.K. are provided with life insurance cover at six times their base salary if they die in service. In the case of the NEOs based in the U.S., the death in service cover is two times base salary, with the maximum payment capped at $750,000. The amount of these potential payments for each NEO is included in the table above, as an indication.

• If the Company terminates the employment of a NEO without cause, the NEO would normally be eligible for a severance payment to cover loss of salary and other direct compensation for the duration of the notice period specified in their employment agreement. All the NEOs have a twelve-month notice period. In addition, in line with the rules of the Omnibus Plan, any Omnibus options and cash incentive awards granted at market price would vest and the NEO would have twelve months from the date of termination to exercise these and any vested options and vested cash incentive awards granted at market price under any of the share plans. With regards to the options, full value awards and cash incentive awards, the NEOs are treated the same way as other employees who hold options, full value awards and cash incentive awards under the plans. The amounts detailed in the post-employment payments table include the severance payments and the value of any share options, full value awards and cash incentive awards which will become exercisable, using the 2025-year-end stock price of $76.54.

*Pay Ratio Disclosure*

In line with the SEC disclosure requirements, the Company has determined the ratio of the total annual compensation of Mr. Williams, CEO, to the total annual compensation of the median employee for 2023, the last completed fiscal year.

In 2025, the total annual compensation of the CEO was $8,253,108. The total annual compensation of the median employee was $104,479. As a result, for 2025, the ratio of the CEO's total annual compensation to the total annual compensation of the median employee was approximately 79 to 1.

The median employee was identified by examining compensation information derived from payroll records for all employees, excluding the CEO, who was employed by the Company on November 1, 2023. As of such date, the Company employed approximately 2,100 people, with around 720 of these employees located in the United States and around 1,380 located outside the United States. All employees were included, whether employed on a full-time, part-time, temporary, or seasonal basis. In identifying the median employee, the Company selected actual cash compensation for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2022 as the most appropriate measure of compensation, as there has been no change in the employee population or compensation arrangements that would have resulted in a significant change in the pay distribution to the workforce. Cash compensation was defined as base salary (for salaried employees), wages (for hourly employees), bonus and incentive payments earned in 2022, and any cash allowances including shift allowance, car allowance and responsibility allowance, but excluding any payments relating to stock-based incentives. In the cases where an individual was employed on November 1, 2023, but had not been employed in 2022, the 2022 compensation of an employee in a similar role and location was used as an estimate. In the cases where a full time or part time permanent employee was not employed by the Company for all of 2022, the compensation was annualized. Compensation was not analyzed for any temporary or seasonal workers. This measure was consistently applied to all employees included in the calculation.

To determine the annual total compensation of the CEO, we used the amount reported in the "Total" column of the Summary Compensation Table in this Proxy Statement, which includes salary, stock and option awards, bonus, change in pension value, and all other compensation. The median employee's total annual compensation for 2025 was calculated in accordance with the same requirements applicable to the CEO's compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table and that number was used to calculate the ratio of the CEO's pay to that of the median employee.

The SEC rules requiring pay ratio disclosure allow companies to exercise a significant amount of flexibility in making the determination as to who is the median employee and do not mandate that each company use the same method. We believe that the pay ratio above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with the SEC rules. However, the total annual compensation of our median employee is unique to that person and is not necessarily a good indicator of the total annual compensation of any of the other employees of the Company, and it is not comparable to the annual total compensation of employees at other companies. Similarly, we would not expect that the ratio of the CEO's total annual compensation to that of the median employee to be a number that can be compared to the ratio determined by other companies in any meaningful fashion.
