New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The company has an unstable dividend paying track record. The dividend has had an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Dividend yield: 2.1% This is considered a minor risk. If the company has cut or reduced its dividend in the past, it may be a sign that the underlying business is too cyclical to consistently maintain or grow the dividend over the long-term. It may also indicate the company prioritizes other outcomes instead of maintaining the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Board Change • May 20

Milberg, Krause & Kinsman File Class Action Lawsuit over Toxic Emissions in Kansas City The international plaintiffs' firm Milberg Coleman Bryson Phillips Grossman, PLLC ("Milberg"), in collaboration with the Krause & Kinsman Law Firm, has filed a federal class action lawsuit against Harcros Chemicals, Philips Electronics, Elementis PLC, and other entities for decades of toxic emissions that have harmed Kansas City residents. Filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas, the lawsuit alleges that the Harcros Chemicals plant and its predecessor companies have continuously released hazardous toxins, including the known human carcinogen ethylene oxide (EtO) and other dangerous chemicals, into surrounding residential neighborhoods since 1960. The complaint also identifies 11 schools located within the "toxic plume," where over 5,700 students have been consistently exposed to these harmful emissions. According to the lawsuit, these emissions have caused cancer, reproductive harm, and other severe health issues for Kansas residents. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ranks the Harcros Kansas City facility among the most dangerous toxin emitters nationwide. Independent research shows that residents living near the facility, predominantly from Black and Hispanic communities, have a life expectancy up to 20 years shorter than those residing just a few miles further from the facility. Individuals who may be eligible to participate in the litigation include those who have lived, worked, or attended school within 2.5 miles of the Harcros facility and have experienced cancer or reproductive health issues.

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 45% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Aankondiging • Mar 08

Elementis plc, Annual General Meeting, Sep 20, 2023 Elementis plc, Annual General Meeting, Sep 20, 2023. New Risk • Aug 28
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 64% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Reported Earnings • Jul 28
