Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 10, 2018, Ingevity Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Perstorp UK Ltd. (the “Agreement”) with Perstorp AB, a company registered in Sweden, that develops, manufactures, and sells specialty chemicals (the “Seller”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase the shares held by the Seller in Perstorp UK Ltd., including the Seller’s entire caprolactone business (“Capa^tm”), in exchange for EUR 570,913,000, less the Intercompany Debt Amount and the Seller’s Transaction Costs, each of which is defined in the Agreement (the “Purchase Price”), plus interest accrued on the Purchase Price, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Agreement (the “Acquisition”). The Company expects to finance the Acquisition through a combination of borrowings under its existing credit facilities and cash on hand.

The Agreement contains warranties, covenants and conditions to closing that the Company believes are customary for a transaction of this size and type (including receipt of required anti-trust or other anticompetitive approvals in certain foreign jurisdictions). Neither Capa^TM nor the Seller has a material relationship with the Company and the Acquisition will not be an affiliated transaction.

The closing of the Acquisition is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including certain regulatory approvals, but is not subject to any financing condition. The Acquisition is expected to close late in the first quarter of 2019.

The Company has the right to terminate the Agreement due to the occurrence of certain material events that impact the operations of the business of Perstorp UK Ltd., in each case subject to the Seller’s right to remediate the matter.

In addition, at the closing of the Acquisition, the Company and the Seller intend to enter into a transitional services agreement pursuant to which the Seller will continue to provide certain services (including but not limited to innovation and technical support, warehousing and distribution support, IT support and certain other administrative support services).

The foregoing summary of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The Agreement contains warranties by each of the parties to the Agreement, which were made only for purposes of that Agreement and as of specified dates. The, warranties and covenants in the Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Agreement, are subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and are subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that may differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, the Seller or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

Like other businesses, the Company is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from its expectations or that could cause other forward-looking statements to prove incorrect. Factors that could cause actual results to materially differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, or that could cause other forward-looking statements to prove incorrect, include, without limitation, risks related to the satisfaction of the conditions to closing the Acquisition (including the failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals) in the anticipated timeframe or at all, risks that the expected benefits from the proposed Acquisition will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period; the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; significant transaction costs; unknown or understated liabilities; general economic and financial conditions; international sales and operations; currency exchange rates and currency devaluation; compliance with U.S. and foreign regulations; attracting and retaining key personnel; conditions in the automotive market or adoption of alternative technologies; worldwide air quality standards; government infrastructure spending; declining volumes in the printing inks market; the limited supply of crude tall oil ("CTO"); lack of access to sufficient CTO; access to and pricing of raw materials; competition from producers of substitute products and new technologies; a prolonged period of low energy prices; the provision of services by third parties at several facilities; natural disasters, such as hurricanes, winter or tropical storms, earthquakes, floods, fires; other unanticipated problems such as labor difficulties including renewal of collective bargaining agreements, equipment failure or unscheduled maintenance and repair; protection of intellectual property and proprietary information; information technology security risks; government policies and regulations, including, but not limited to, those affecting the environment, climate change, tax policies and the chemicals industry; and lawsuits arising out of environmental damage or personal injuries associated with chemical or other manufacturing processes.

5.5 Clause 5.1 shall not operate to restrict or prevent the following actions provided the Purchaser is notified in advance of such actions being taken (save that the Purchaser shall not be required to be notified in advance of any actions in relation to clauses 5.5(b), 5.5(c) and 5.5(g) to 5.5(j) (inclusive)):

(a) any action taken at the request of the Purchaser or with its prior approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

8

(b) any action taken in accordance with the Glassware Replacement Project to the extent that such information connected with the action to be taken has been Disclosed;

(c) any matter reasonably undertaken by any Group Company in an Emergency Situation with the intention of minimising any adverse effect of the Emergency Situation of any Group Company, save that the Seller will notify the Purchaser as soon as reasonably practical thereafter;

(d) any action taken in accordance within any contract or arrangement on the terms Disclosed to the Purchaser entered into by any Group Company prior to the date of this agreement;

9

together with any reasonable supporting documentation in connection with the amounts so presented. On receipt of the Pre-Completion Statement, the Purchaser shall, acting reasonably and within 48 hours of receipt of the Pre-Completion Statement, (such time to be determined by reference to the email sent to Collins.Bryan@ingevity.com attaching the complete Pre-Completion Statement) be entitled to raise questions and request additional information to enable it to determine the amounts specified. The Seller shall use reasonable endeavours to promptly respond to such queries in writing and to the extent that it is not possible to provide such information prior to Completion, the Seller agrees it will use reasonable endeavours to provide such information to the Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable after Completion.

5.7 Without affecting any other rights the Purchaser may have against the Seller and subject to clause 5.8, if prior to Completion:

(a) any of the following events occurs or is discovered to have occurred prior to the date of this agreement (each a Material Event):

(i) the Properties are significantly damaged, or destroyed; or

(ii) other than in relation to a matter where (i) substantially full recovery is or will be available to a Group Company under an insurance policy which is in place at the date of this agreement and the proceeds of which will be fully payable to a Group Company or (ii) full recovery is available to a Group Company from a third party, the Purchaser or the Seller discovers a material breach of Environmental Law in relation to a Hazardous Substance at any of the Properties;

(iii) the Seller is provided with written notice by: (i) Solvay Interox Limited as counterparty to the Shared Services Agreement or (ii) by the landlord of any lease entered into with respect to the Properties, of a material breach of the same by the Seller or the Company (as applicable) which may result in termination of such agreement or lease; or

(iv) the Purchaser discovers that the Seller or any Group Company (either directly or through an agent, distributor or other representative) has prior to the date of Completion been in material violation of any applicable laws relating to anti-bribery, anti-corruption or any Export Control Laws or Economic Sanctions Laws and such violation has the potential to result in any Group Company or any member of the Purchaser’s Group (taken together) suffering aggregate financial penalties or damages in excess of EUR 5,000,000 (or equivalent); and

in the case of clauses 5.7(a)(i) or 5.7(a)(iii), results (for a material period) in the business of the Group (taken as a whole) not being capable of being carried on in a substantially similar manner as immediately prior to the date of the Material Event,

then in those circumstances only, the Purchaser may, but only after having undertaken a due and proper consideration of the impact of such Material Event on the business of the Group (including, without limitation and where time permits receiving written advice from its advisers on the matter), terminate this agreement before Completion by written notice to the Seller and clause 6.7 shall apply.

5.8 Notwithstanding clause 5.7 above, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to terminate this agreement if:

(a) at the date of this agreement, any member of the Purchaser’s Group (or their respective advisors, officers, directors or employees) had actual knowledge of the fact, matter or circumstance giving rise to the Material Event and ought reasonably to have known that such fact, matter or circumstance may result in the Purchaser being entitled to terminate this agreement pursuant to clause 5.7; or

10

(b) the Seller remedies such Material Event to the satisfaction of the Purchaser (acting reasonably and in good faith) within the earlier of 20 Business Days of the date on which the Material Event occurred (or such other time as the parties may agree acting reasonably) or prior to the date on which Completion is due to occur.

6.3 At Completion, the Seller shall observe and perform the provisions of Part 1 of Schedule 1.

6.4 All documents and items delivered at Completion pursuant to clauses 6.2 and 6.3 and Schedule 1 shall be held by the recipient to the order of the person delivering the same until such time as Completion shall be deemed to have taken place. Simultaneously with:

(a) delivery of all documents and items required to be delivered at Completion in accordance with clauses 6.2 and 6.3 and Schedule 1 (or the waiver of such delivery by the person entitled to receive the relevant document or item); and

(b) to fix a new time and date for Completion (being not more than ten Business Days after the original date for Completion) in which case the provisions of clauses 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 and Schedule 1 shall apply to Completion as so deferred but on the basis that such deferral may occur only once; or

(b) to fix a new time and date for Completion (being not more than ten Business Days after the original date for Completion) in which case the provisions of clauses 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 and Schedule 1 shall apply to Completion as so deferred but on the basis that such deferral may occur only once; or

(c) only in the event that the Seller has elected to postpone Completion pursuant to paragraph (b) above and Completion has not occurred by the date to which it was postponed due to a continued failure by the Purchaser to comply with the provisions of Part 2 of Schedule 1, not to complete the sale of the Shares, in which case the provisions of clause 6.7 shall apply.

(a) the Seller; or

(b) any other member of the Seller's Group,

(ii) an amount equal to any amount comprised in such Leakage in respect of VAT which is recoverable by repayment or credit by any Group Company (or the representative member of any group to which that Group Company belongs for VAT purposes at any time after Completion) and less an amount equal to the value of any Tax Relief of the Purchaser's Group and/or any Group Company in respect of such Leakage, to the extent that such Tax Relief has actually been used to reduce an actual liability to pay Tax by any Group Company or member of the Purchaser's Group or to give rise to a repayment of Tax to a Group Company or member of the Purchaser's Group, or in each case is reasonably likely to be so used, in any tax period of the company in question commencing on or before Completion or commencing less than 12 months after the end of the tax period of that company in the period in which Completion occurs,

(such amount being the Net Notified Leakage) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Aggregate Consideration.

7.4 In the event of any Notified Leakage, the Base Consideration shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Net Notified Leakage in accordance with clause 3.1(a) provided that, to the extent that the Base Consideration is so reduced by the sum of the Net Notified Leakage, the Seller shall have no liability under clauses 7.1 or 7.2.

7.5 The Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of any breach of the covenant in clause 7.1.

13

7.7 Save for clauses 9.1, 9.3(b), 9.6 and 9.7, the limitations on the Seller's liability set out in clause 9 will not apply to any claim under this clause 7.

(b) to the extent required by law, any court of competent jurisdiction, any stock exchange or any competent regulatory or supervisory body (including any securities exchange on which such party's or its Affiliates' securities are trading or any Tax Authority), whether or not the requirement has the force of law, but if a person is so required to make any announcement or to disclose any confidential information then the relevant party shall (i) promptly notify the other party, where practicable and lawful to do so, before the announcement is made or disclosure occurs (as the case may be) and (ii) shall co-operate with the other party regarding the timing and content of such announcement or disclosure (as the case may be) or any action which the other party may reasonably elect to take to challenge the validity of such requirement provided that the foregoing limbs (i) and (ii) shall not apply to any disclosure obligation of the Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with their securities being listed on a securities exchange or registered with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission, including but not limited to the filing of an Initial Form 8 K together with a copy of the agreement or the filing of a Completion Form 8 K together with supplemental documents relating to the Group Companies.

Ingevity to acquire Capa^TM caprolactone division of Perstorp Holding AB

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C., Dec. 10, 2018 – Ingevity Corporation (NYSE:NGVT) today announced it has reached an agreement with Perstorp Holding AB to acquire the Capa^TM caprolactone division of Perstorp in a cash transaction valued at approximately €590 million (approximately $675 million). The acquisition is subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, and Ingevity expects to close on the transaction late in the first quarter of 2019.

Capa is the global market leader in the production and commercialization of caprolactone and high-value downstream derivatives, including caprolactone polyols, caprolactone thermoplastics, caprolactone lactides, and hexanediol (HDO). The division’s products are key components in adhesives, bioplastics, coatings, elastomers and resins. The business operates a manufacturing facility in Warrington, England, U.K., and employs approximately 90 people.

Capa expects revenues of approximately €150 million (approximately $175 million) and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of approximately €50 million (approximately $60 million) for the 2018 fiscal year, representing adjusted EBITDA margins in the mid-30s percent range. The acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to Ingevity’s earnings in the first full year. Ingevity will include the business in the company’s Performance Chemicals segment and report revenues as “Engineered Polymers.”

“The Capa division is a strong, market-leading business focused on high-growth end-use applications, and as such is a complementary fit with Ingevity’s business model and capabilities,” said Michael Wilson, Ingevity president and CEO. “Like our current businesses, Capa leverages technology-focused relationships to drive customer intimacy and employs a similar manufacturing process and approach.

“We are very excited to be adding such a unique business to our company; one that will provide new avenues for strategic growth,” he said. “What’s more, Capa’s top-tier financial profile and performance will drive value creation to the benefit of our shareholders.”

“The senior managers and employees of the Capa division are looking forward to joining Ingevity,” said Stephen Lewis, Vice President, Caprolactones for Perstorp. “We believe Ingevity is a great cultural fit for our people and the combination of these two companies will accelerate our success.”

Ingevity will fund this transaction through a combination of the company’s cash and existing bank credit facility. J.P. Morgan acted as financial advisor and Eversheds Sutherland acted as legal counsel to Ingevity.

Conference Call Scheduled for 8:30 a.m. ET Today

The company will host a 30-minute conference call on Monday, Dec. 10, at 8:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) to discuss the transaction.
