ITEM 8.01. Other Events.

Ingevity Corporation (the “Company”) has announced that it intends to hold its first annual meeting of stockholders on April 27, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Meeting”), at a time and location to be determined and specified in the Company’s proxy statement. The record date for determination of stockholders to be entitled to vote at the 2017 Annual Meeting, and any adjournment thereof, will be the close of business on March 7, 2017.

Stockholders of the Company who wish to have a proposal considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2017 Annual Meeting (the “Proxy Materials”) pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must ensure that such proposal is received by our Corporate Secretary at 5255 Virginia Ave, N. Charleston, South Carolina 29406 no later than the close of business on January 27, 2017, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send the Proxy Materials. Any such proposal must also meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the SEC in order to be eligible for inclusion in the Proxy Materials.

In addition, in accordance with advance notice requirements contained in the Company’s amended and restated bylaws, for director nominations or other business to be brought before the 2017 Annual Meeting by a stockholder outside of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, written notice must also be delivered no later than the close of business on January 27, 2017, to Ingevity Corporation, Attn: Corporate Secretary, 5255 Virginia Ave, N. Charleston, South Carolina 29406. These stockholder notices must comply with the requirements of the Company’s amended and restated bylaws and will not be effective otherwise.
