New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: US$9.72m This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$96m free cash flow).

Trinseo Announces Availability of Polystyrene, Abs, and San for Sale Produced with Indaver' Chemically Recycled Monomer Through Depolymerization Trinseo announced it has started receiving chemically recycled styrene monomer (rSM) through depolymerization, from the newly operational recycling plant built by the Company's partner, Indaver. The plant is located in Antwerp, Belgium. It began production in August 2025 and uses polystyrene household packaging waste to recover the styrene monomer (SM). Trinseo's portfolio of STYRON™? Polystyrene resins, MAGNUM™? ABS resins, and TYRIL™? SAN resins can be manufactured with chemically recycled SM1 produced according to the mass balance principle. This means they are drop-in equivalentents of their fossil-based counterparts, including for food contact applications. For the STYRON™? polystyrene resins, the use of household packaging waste for depolymerization recycling means a step closer towards circularity. For example, a yogurt cup, with the right collection and processing infrastructure in place, could be recycled back into a similar dairy container. Along with food containers, theresins are suitable for refrigerator liners and parts, as well as food trays made of expanded polystyrene. MAGNUM™? resins are suitable for household items such as toys or furniture, as well as automotive interior & exterior parts, while TYRIL™? SAN Resins can be used for personal care goods or appliance water tanks. The PS, ABS and SAN made with rSM complement Trinseo's broader portfolio of bio, dissolution, and other sustainably advantaged materials. Trinseo has established a tool that provides cradle-to gate Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) information for different grades, allowing the company to share with interested parties specific information about the products' CO2 footprint.

Trinseo PLC Announces Closure of MMA Production Facilities in Italy and Potential Closure of Polystyrene Production Facility in Germany Trinseo PLC announced a series of strategic plans aimed at further optimizing its operations, enhancing cash flow generation and strengthening long-term profitability.

Closure of MMA Production Facilities in Italy: The Company will permanently close its methyl methacrylate (“MMA”) production operations at its Rho, Italy facility and its acetone cyanohydrin (“ACH”) production operations in Porto Marghera, Italy.

The Company will work closely with the Works Council, unions, and government officials to ensure alignment with respect to all legal requirements associated with this process. The closures are anticipated to be completed by the end of the year and expected to result in annualized profitability improvement of approximately $20 million and an annual reduction in capital expenditures of approximately $10 million. In addition, the Company announced it has initiated an information and consultation process with the Works Council of Trinseo Deutschland GmbH regarding the potential closure of its polystyrene (“PS”) production at its Schkopau, Germany production site and the intention to consolidate remaining PS production into its Tessenderlo, Belgium location.

Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (1.6% operating cash flow to total debt). Negative equity (-US$348m).

Trinseo Announces Launch of New Recycling-Containing Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) and Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) Resins Trinseo announced the launch of new recycled-containing acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) resins, available under the MAGNUM™? ECO+, MAGNUM™? CR and TYRIL™? CR trade names. MAGNUM™? ECO+ ABS resins are dedicated to the mobility industry and will be introduced to the market during the 2024 Plastics in Automotive Engineering Conference in Mannheim, Germany (June 18-19). The resins exclusively use post-consumer recycled (PCR) styrene obtained from household waste, and the end-applications can achieve anyue with the use of color concentrates. MAGNUM™? ECO + ABS maintains the same performance and qualities that made its all-fossil counterpart a reliable, versatile resin, suitable for both visible and hidden applications in vehicles. MAGNUM™? CR andTYRIL™? CR are grades dedicated to industrial, and consumer goods applications, such as edge bands, coffee machine water tanks or toothbrushes. The sustainably advantaged resins contain up to 60% chemically recycled styrene The recycled styrene is combined with fossil-based polymers during polymerization according to the ISCC+ Mass Balance process. Because the recycled styrene becomes identical in chemical composition to its virgin counterpart during feedstock cracking,gregation during manufacturing is unnecessary. The materials are structurally and functionally the same as the virgin counterpart and can be used with existing tooling and equipment under the same processing conditions. This makes the new Trinseo materials a drop-in solution, all while offering a potential drop of up to 18% in carbon footprint compared to the average ABS and SAN industrial grades - Preliminary calculated estimated values based on data from a research study conducted by styrene supplier and independent 3rd party (scope: cradle-to-gate).
