Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 25, 2019, PolyOne Corporation (the “Company”, "PolyOne", or "we") completed the previously announced sale of the Company’s Performance Products and Solutions business segment. As a result of the completed disposal of the business, beginning in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2019, we presented Performance Products and Solutions as discontinued operations in our consolidated condensed financial statements for all periods presented. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the Performance Products and Solutions segment must be retrospectively reclassified to discontinued operations for all prior periods subsequently presented. We are filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to retrospectively revise our historical financial information to reflect Performance Products and Solutions as a discontinued operation.

In this Current Report on Form 8-K, we have updated financial information that appeared in PolyOne's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 ("2018 10-K"). The updated financial information includes the following:



•	Consent of Ernst & Young, LLP, attached as Exhibit 23.1 and incorporated herein by reference;
•	2018 Form 10-K, Part I, Item 1 - Business, Item 2 - Properties, Part II, Item 6 - Selected Financial Data, Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The information included in Exhibit 99.1 attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Exhibit 99.1”) is presented for informational purposes only in connection with the reporting changes described above for PolyOne. Except to the extent specifically set forth therein, Exhibit 99.1 does not reflect events occurring after February 19, 2019, the date we filed the 2018 10-K, and does not modify or update the disclosures included in the 2018 10-K therein in any way, other than as required to reflect Performance Products and Solutions as a discontinued operation, as described above and set forth in Exhibit 99.1. You should therefore read the information in Exhibit 99.1 in conjunction with the 2018 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 19, 2019 and in conjunction with our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC during 2019.
