This power outage combined with below freezing temperatures led to significant production and operational challenges. During the period that followed the Millsdale facility operated on a partial basis and used existing inventories to serve its customers. On February 17, 2020, operational issues impacted the Millsdale site’s waste water treatment plant (WWTP) and forced the Company to stop production at the site. The Company has subsequently restarted polyol production using a temporary solution. The Company announced on February 26, 2020, that the waste water treatment plant at the Millsdale facility was back in operation and that the facility was producing Surfactant products.

At this time, the Company is not able to quantify the extent of the impact from this event on the Company’s statement of financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
