The art is in managing the light so it is effectively diffused but still bright enough to meet functional demands.

In addition, this UV laser marking technology for FEP is melt processible and cost effective compared to current PTFE tape wiring solutions for laser marking.

They cost-effectively meet individual requirements for both staple fibers and filament applications and are suitable for almost any spinning process.

These materials must be able to withstand the effects of hydrogen transfer without contaminating the energy source or harming the pipe in order to keep the energy system safe.

UV stabilizers help protect polymers from the negative effects of sunlight and preserve aesthetic and mechnical properties.

ECCOH™ Low Smoke & Fume Non-Halogen Formulation 5981 UV and chemically resistant thermoplastic for Teck 90 cable outer jackets ECCOH 5981 UV thermoplastic is a cost-effective material for jacketing, combining high environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR), UV performance, good shear strength, and flame-retardant properties for low-voltage, armored cables.

The performance of both Cesa solid and Hiformer liquid additives is effective at low concentrations in eliminating melt fracture (shark skin) and die buildup (die drool).

HIGH STRENGTH Ballistic composites offer a combination of robust strength and lightweight properties, making them highly effective in resisting impacts.

In addition to the other duties of a director under these Guidelines, the Chairman of the Board (if an independent director) or the 4 Lead Director, as applicable, is responsible for coordinating the activities of the independent directors, and in that role will: • Chair executive sessions of the non-employee directors, as described below under the caption “Executive Sessions,” and provide feedback and perspective to the Chief Executive Officer regarding discussions at these sessions; • Review information as appropriate prior to it being sent to the Board; • Approve meeting agendas for the Board; • Approve meeting schedules to assure that there is sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items; • Serve as a liaison and facilitate communications between the Chief Executive Officer and other members of the Board; • Advise the Chief Executive Officer as to the quality, quantity and timeliness of the flow of information from management to the Board and regarding the effectiveness of Board meetings; • Interview all Board candidates, and provide the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee with recommendations on each candidate; • Maintain close contact with the Chair of each standing committee and assist in ensuring communications between each committee and the Board; • Consider the retention of advisers and consultants who report directly to the Board; • Chair Board meetings; • Have the authority to call meetings of the independent directors; • If requested by major shareholders, ensure that he or she is available for consultation and direct communication; and • Perform various other duties as may from time to time be determined by the Board. The Board shall consider as candidates for nomination for election or re-election to the Board, or to fill vacancies and new directorships on the Board, only those individuals who agree to tender, promptly following their election, re-election or appointment, an irrevocable resignation that will be effective upon (a) the occurrence of a Majority Withheld Vote for that director in his or her next election and (b) acceptance of the tendered resignation by the Board. The effectiveness and contributions of individual directors are also evaluated and are considered each time a director stands for re-nomination.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; • The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; • Changes in laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; • Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; • Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; • Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; • Our ability to achieve strategic objectives and successfully integrate acquisitions, including Avient Protective Materials (APM); • An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; • Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; • Information systems failures and cyberattacks; • Amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; and • Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation and any recessionary conditions Use of Non-GAAP Measures This presentation includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, operating income before the effect of special items is a component of Avient’s annual incentive plans and is used in debt covenant computations. Senior management believes the measures described above are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to Avient's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure Avient's operating results due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude.
