Add visual surface effects and aesthetics without
complexity – You can achieve various aesthetic
appearances using Gravi-Tech material such as color
variation, metallic finish, or marbling and swirling.
Consumers of luxury cosmetics and spirits tend to perceive added value from packaging that incorporates
weight, aesthetics, and visual surface effects into the design.
Gates are designed to be as
small as possible to keep the cosmetic effects
minimal .

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
• Our ability to identify and evaluate acquisition targets and consummate and integrate acquisitions
• 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 polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding the disposal of plastic in jurisdictions where we
conduct business;
• Changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online;
• 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;
• An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;
• Information systems failures and cyber attacks; and
• Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in
interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation.

Why Invest In PolyOne?
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/Investor%2520Presentation%2520Mar19.pdf
Senior management
believes these measures are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to PolyOne's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature,
tend to obscure PolyOne's operating results due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude.
1) Special items include charges related to specific strategic initiatives or financial restructuring such as: consolidation of operations; debt extinguishment costs; costs incurred directly in relation to acquisitions or divestitures, including adjustments related to
contingent consideration; employee separation costs resulting from personnel reduction programs, plant realignment costs, executive separation agreements; asset impairments; mark-to-market adjustments associated with actuarial gains and losses on pension
and other post-retirement benefit plans; environmental remediation costs, fines, penalties and related insurance recoveries related to facilities no longer owned or closed in prior years; gains and losses on the divestiture of operating businesses, joint ventures and
equity investments; gains and losses on facility or property sales or disposals; results of litigation, fines or penalties, where such litigation (or action relating to the fines or penalties) arose prior to the commencement of the performance period; one-time, non-
recurring items; and the effect of changes in accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-12/Terms and Conditions of Sale for Indonesia %28English translation%29.pdf
Seller
shall have the right to terminate an order confirmation with
immediate effect if at any time prior to delivery, a person or group
of persons who are unrelated to the persons controlling Buyer as of
the date of the order confirmation, acquires control, through
ownership of voting securities or otherwise, over Buyer.
In the event of invalidity of a provision of these Terms,
the parties shall deem that provision stricken in its entirety and the
balance of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
