General Disclosure

This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenue or

performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions, business trends and other information that is not historical information. When used in this

presentation, the words “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “forecasts,” or future or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “should,” “could,” or “may,”

and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, management’s

examination of historical operating trends and data, are based upon our current expectations of future events and various assumptions which may not be realized or accurate. Our

expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith, and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s

expectations, beliefs and projections will be achieved. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances

that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. Such risks,

uncertainties and other important factors include, among others: future global economic conditions, our ability to transfer production of certain specialty and differentiated products from

our Pori, Finland manufacturing facility to other sites in our manufacturing network, our ability to realize financial and operational benefits from our business improvement plans and

initiatives, impacts on TiO2 markets and the broader global economy from the imposition of tariffs by the U.S. and other countries, changes in raw material and energy prices, access to

capital markets, industry production capacity and operating rates, the supply demand balance for our products and that of competing products, pricing pressures, technological

developments, legal claims against us, changes in government regulations, geopolitical events and other risk factors as discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K filed on February

20, 2019.

This presentation contains financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"), including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA,

adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow and net debt and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom. We have provided reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the

most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the Appendix to this presentation.
