Trinseo PLC Receives Notice of NYSE Delisting and Trading Suspension of Ordinary Shares On March 2, 2026, Trinseo PLC received written notice from the New York Stock Exchange that the NYSE had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s ordinary shares. As stated in the Notice, the NYSE reached its decision to delist the Company’s securities pursuant to Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the Company had fallen below the NYSE continued listing standard requiring listed companies to maintain an average market capitalization over a 30-trading day period of at least $15 million. The Notice also stated that trading in the Company’s ordinary shares would be suspended immediately. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 12, 2025, the Company received written notice from the NYSE that it was no longer in compliance with Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual due to the fact that the Company’s average total market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period was less than $50 million and, at the same time, its stockholders’ equity was less than $50 million. In addition, the Company also received written notice from the NYSE indicating that it was not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01C because its average closing share price had fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days. As stated in the Notice, the NYSE will file a Form 25 with the SEC to delist the Company’s ordinary shares from the NYSE upon completion of applicable procedures. The delisting will be effective 10 days after the filing of the Form 25. None of the Notice, suspension of trading or delisting from the NYSE is expected to affect the Company’s business operations, its relationships with partners or employees or its current SEC reporting obligations. Upon suspension of trading and delisting of the Company’s ordinary shares from the NYSE, transfers of ordinary shares will be subject to Irish stamp duty at a rate of 1% of the higher of the purchase price or the market value of the shares, unless an exemption or relief is available to the purchaser. The Company’s clearing and settlement agent, Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), has notified the Company that as a result of the application of Irish stamp duty it will cease clearing or settling trades in our ordinary shares and will transfer all positions to our transfer agent. Therefore, shareholders may not be able to continue to trade our ordinary shares without transferring their shares to another clearing and settlement agent, or into a registered position directly with the Company’s transfer agent.

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.

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.

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).

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: €90.7m (US$96.6m) This is considered a minor 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 Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (6.5% operating cash flow to total debt). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change). Negative equity (-US$268m). Earnings have declined by 62% per year over the past 5 years.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 42% 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (4.1% operating cash flow to total debt). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (12% average weekly change). Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Earnings have declined by 42% per year over the past 5 years. Tillkännagivande • Jul 18
