Forward Looking Statements

This report, including the exhibits, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict, including the Risk Factors identified in Ingevity’s most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The use of words such as “believe,” “estimate,” “expect” and “will,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions, among others, generally identify forward-looking statements. However, these words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Unless required by law, Ingevity undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, readers should carefully review the reports and documents Ingevity files or furnishes from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.
