Information to be included in the report

 
Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
Quaker Chemical Corporation ("Quaker") is in the process of entering into Change of Control Agreements with certain of its executive officers, including Messrs. Mark A. Harris and Wilbert Platzer. The executive officers will be entitled, if terminated (other than by Quaker for cause, not for good reason by the executive officer, disability or death) within two years following a change of control, to severance in the amount of 18 months of salary and annual bonus or, if greater, severance prescribed by law in foreign jurisdictions. Annual bonus is calculated by averaging the annual bonuses paid in the three years immediately preceding the year in which the change of control occurs. In addition, the executive officers are entitled to any annual bonus or long-term bonuses in effect during the year in which the severance event occurs calculated at target, one year outplacement services, and participation in our health, dental and life insurance programs as if still employed for a period of 18 months. These b enefits will be paid or provided only if the executive officer signs a general release of claims. In addition, the benefits and payments will be discontinued if the executive officer violates the confidentiality provisions of the change in control agreement (at any time) or the noncompete provisions of the change in control agreement (during employment or the one-year period thereafter).
