PPG UpdateMay 21, 2019

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. This presentation contains

forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance. You can identify forward-looking statements by

the fact that they do not relate strictly to current or historic facts. Forward-looking statements are identified by the use of the words “aim,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,”

“intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “outlook,” “forecast” and other expressions that indicate future events and trends. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on

which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or

otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Also, note

the following cautionary statements:

Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s forward-looking statements. Such factors include global economic conditions, increasing price

and product competition by foreign and domestic competitors, fluctuations in cost and availability of raw materials, the ability to achieve selling price increases, the ability to

recover margins, the ability to maintain favorable supplier relationships and arrangements, the timing of and the realization of anticipated cost savings from restructuring

initiatives, difficulties in integrating acquired businesses and achieving expected synergies therefrom, economic and political conditions in international markets, the ability to

penetrate existing, developing and emerging foreign and domestic markets, foreign exchange rates and fluctuations in such rates, fluctuations in tax rates, the impact of

future legislation, the impact of environmental regulations, unexpected business disruptions, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, the

unpredictability of existing and possible future litigation, including asbestos litigation, and governmental investigations. However, it is not possible to predict or identify all such

factors. Consequently, while the list of factors presented here and under Item 1A of PPG’s 2018 Form 10-K is considered representative, no such list should be considered to

be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements.

Consequences of material differences in the results compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, lower sales or

earnings, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties, other factors set forth in Item 1A of PPG’s 2018 Form 10-K and similar risks,

any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

All of this information speaks only as of May 21, 2019, and any distribution of this presentation after that date is not intended and will not be construed as updating or

confirming such information. PPG undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

For purposes of the analyses described in this presentation, PPG’s architectural coatings businesses refers to PPG’s architectural coatings Americas and Asia Pacific and

architectural coatings EMEA strategic business units, which are included in PPG’s Performance Coatings reportable segment. PPG’s industrial coatings businesses refer to

all of PPG’s other (non-architectural) strategic business units, which make up the remainder of the Performance Coatings reportable segment and the Industrial Coatings

reportable segment.”

Independent third party reviews in parallel with comprehensive internal assessment – under direction of

Portfolio Evaluation: Scope and key considerations

Scope of Independent Reviews Key Considerations

• Alternatives to separate architectural and

industrial coatings businesses

• Other broad-ranging portfolio and strategic

options

• Balance sheet and related cash deployment

value creation opportunities

• Value maximization for PPG shareholders

• Equity market valuation estimates under

various scenarios

• Implications on business competitiveness,

customers and future growth potential

• Value of synergies or dis-synergies and other

financial impacts resulting from portfolio

adjustments

• Tax implications, if any, of various potential

transactions

• Balance sheet effects, liability assignment

and cash deployment considerations

Review Topic Summary of Assessment Based on Independent Review

Separate architectural

coatings from

remainder of PPG

portfolio; other

business portfolio

options

• Unlikely to result in value uplift for PPG shareholders

• Reduces PPG’s strategic flexibility

• Unlikely to result in multiple re-rating

• Meaningful cost and commercial dis-synergies and incremental functional costs expected

• Even with no assumed dis-synergies a separation is unlikely to result in a material value uplift

• Lowers synergy capability for future strategic actions

• Potential tax leakage in sale

• No observations of other global coatings players separating architectural from industrial coatings;

only evidence of increasing participation in both

Cash deployment

priorities

• PPG track record of acquisitions viewed positively by equity markets

• Companies reinvesting capital into their businesses at returns in excess of their cost of capital tend to

outperform return of capital strategies

• Share repurchases

• Require significantly more balance sheet usage for same impact as acquisitions

• Limit balance sheet flexibility to pursue other strategic options

• Typically net market positive, but not value creating without a multiple re-rating

• Maintaining flexibility to pursue strategic options is prudent in current environment

Portfolio Evaluation: Assessment Summary

7

Portfolio Evaluation: Conclusion

• PPG’s Board of Directors has concluded that a separation of the portfolio is not value maximizing

for the Company’s shareholders

• Independent analysis supports the conclusion that value creation opportunities are greatest and

overall risk is minimized by maintaining current business portfolio including architectural and

industrial coatings businesses

‒ Support competitiveness versus all major coatings peers, nearly all of which have mixed business portfolios

‒ Retains investment flexibility via access to broader M&A pipeline for future value creation with neither business capital constrained

‒ Maintains financial flexibility via diversified earnings streams, a robust balance sheet and strong cash flow

‒ Preserves operational / synergy benefits, including supply-chain, R&D, operational footprint and top quartile SG&A

• The Company is positioned to continue to create value for its shareholders

‒ Organic growth initiatives, including continued investment in R&D and operational excellence

‒ Continued strong cash generation and disciplined cash deployment including:

• Ongoing commitment to PPG’s dividend legacy

• Continued, disciplined participation in accretive M&A opportunities; building on proven track record

• Opportunistic share repurchases

‒ On-going portfolio / business reviews to drive performance and maximize value for shareholders

businesses

• Valuation of PPG

‒ When citing valuation methodologies to value PPG, it is not common for equity research

analysts to include sum-of-the-parts analyses in their calculations

‒ Equity research analysts emphasize that PPG management should focus on acquisition

opportunities and ongoing cost and asset optimization projects to drive value for shareholders
