VENATOR MATERIALS PLC ANNOUNCES EFFECTIVENESS OF SHARE

CONSOLIDATION OF ITS ORDINARY SHARES

 

As previously announced by Venator Materials PLC (the “Company”) on December 21, 2023, the shareholders of the Company approved, at the Company’s General Meeting of Shareholders (the “GM”) on December 21, 2023, a proposal to consolidate 108,050,720,916 ordinary shares of $0.001 each in the issued share capital of the Company into 785,692 ordinary shares of $137.523 (the “Share Consolidation”). The Share Consolidation will take effect on January 9, 2024 as approved by the board of directors of the Company (such date, the “Effective Date”). As previously disclosed in the notice of general meeting that was distributed to shareholders of the Company on December 6, 2023 (the “Notice”), each shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company will remain unchanged, except for changes and adjustments that will result from the treatment of fractional shares. No fractional entitlements will be issued in connection with the Share Consolidation but shareholders have the right to receive cash in lieu of any fractional entitlements on the terms set out in the Notice. To the extent that any such cash payment to a shareholder would be less than $10, the Company will retain such amount, as permitted by the Company’s articles of association.

 

The Company posted a shareholder letter announcing the effectiveness of the Share Consolidation on the  Effective Date on the investor relations section of the Company’s website at https://www.venatorcorp.com/investor-relations/financials/annual-report-and-proxy-materials. A copy of such letter is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 6-K.

 

The information contained in this Report on Form 6-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
