New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 17% This is considered a major risk.

The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues.

Ingevity Corporation Announces Intends to Challenge a Jury Verdict Rendered on Sept. 15, 2021 in the U.S. District Court in Delaware Related to Claims by BASF Corporation On September 15, 2021, a verdict was rendered in the matter of Ingevity Corp. et al. v. BASF Corp., in which BASF Corporation ("BASF"), Florham Park, New Jersey, brought action against Ingevity Corp. in U.S. District Court in Delaware (Wilmington), relating to the Company's enforcement of its patent covering canister systems used in automotive gasoline vapor emissions control (Patent No. RE38,844) and the Company's agreements with customers of its fuel vapor canister honeycombs. BASF claimed that Ingevity engaged in anticompetitive activities and interfered with an alleged prospective relationship between BASF and a customer. The jury ordered the Company to pay antitrust damages of approximately $28 million, which will automatically be tripled under U.S. antitrust law to approximately $85 million. Ingevity believes in the strength of its intellectual property and the merits of its position, and intends to pursue all legal relief available to challenge this outcome. Ingevity’s ’844 patent – set to expire in March 2022 – relates to certain canister systems designed to achieve gasoline vapor emissions levels that comply with the most stringent U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Tier 3 and California LEV III regulations. The verdict relates to the company’s enforcement of its patent rights regarding fuel vapor canisters in the U.S. and Canada that use its honeycomb scrubber to reduce certain types of vehicle emissions, as well as to supply agreements with certain customers. The verdict is not related to the manufacture of Ingevity’s activated carbon. The company does not anticipate an immediate impact to commercial sales and is not aware of a competing certified or tested honeycomb that could replace sales of Ingevity’s product immediately due to the multiyear automotive design cycle of original equipment manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers. The decision has no bearing on the company’s ’649 patent family obtained in the U.S., Europe and China to reduce emissions in low-purge engines, which Ingevity believes could apply to anywhere from 25% to 60% of future near-zero fuel system designs. Ingevity’s Nuchar® activated carbon products are manufactured to both capture gasoline emissions and return them to the engine for their intended use, giving the company a competitive advantage in providing original equipment manufacturers with the greatest flexibility, quality and reliability and minimal canister design. Nuchar products are part of Ingevity’s Performance Materials segment that has manufacturing facilities in Covington, Virginia, Wickliffe, Kentucky, Waynesboro, Georgia, and Changshu and Zhuhai, China. Ingevity estimates that the gasoline emissions captured and recovered globally using our activated carbon results in a savings of roughly 40 million tons of CO2 every year. Reported Earnings • Jul 30

City of Orlando Partners with Ingevity to Pilot Demonstration Fleet of Adsorbed Natural Gas Trucks The City of Orlando has announced it will participate in a demonstration program of adsorbed natural gas (ANG) bi-fuel vehicle technology developed by Ingevity Corporation . Orlando will add two ANG-equipped Ford F-150 pickup trucks to its fleet to assess data related to fuel savings and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions. Made possible by the unique characteristics of Ingevity’s Nuchar® FuelSorb™ hardwood-based activated carbon monoliths, ANG technology reduces the onboard storage pressure of natural gas, enabling a low-cost natural gas fueling solution for the light-duty segment. Bi-fuel ANG trucks can be fueled at public-access compressed natural gas (CNG) stations or conveniently on-site at work through a small fueling compressor, reducing energy consumption by over 50% and markedly reducing fueling time. ANG vehicles emit 25% fewer GHG emissions than comparable gasoline and diesel vehicles and, when fueled with renewable natural gas, GHG emissions can be reduced by up to 125%. Announcement • Feb 18
