Revised: December 20, 2024
AVIENT CORPORATION
Securities Trading Policy
1.
Pre-arranged Trading Plans: An SEC rule, Rule 10b5-1(c), provides a defense from
insider trading liability if trades occur pursuant to a pre-arranged “trading plan” that
meets specified conditions.
While trading plans can be established for a single trade or a series of trades, the
Company prefers that your trading plan be established for a series of trades because Rule
10b5-1 places certain limitations on single trade plans.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2025-04/Corporate Governance Guidelines. March 2025 - Final and Approved version.pdf
The Board may modify the Guidelines from time to time and may make exceptions to them.

Is a current employee, or has an immediate family member who is a current executive
officer of, a company that makes or has made payments to, or received payments
from, the Company for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last
three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1 million, or 2% of the other company’s
consolidated gross revenues.
The following relationships will not be considered to be material relationships that would
impair a director’s independence:
(i) If the director is, or has an immediate family member who is, a partner (general or
limited) in, or a controlling stockholder, equity holder, executive officer, other
employee, or director of, any organization to which the Company made, or from
which the Company received, payments for property or services in the current or any
of the past three fiscal years where the amount involved in such transaction in any
such fiscal year was less than the greater of $1 million or 2% of the organization’s
consolidated gross revenues for that year;
(ii) If the director is, or has an immediate family member who is, a director or trustee of
any organization to which the Company has made, or from which the Company has
received payments for property or services, and the director (or his/her immediate
family member) was not involved in the negotiations of the terms of the transaction,
did not, to the extent applicable, provide any services directly to the Company, and
did not receive any special benefits as a result of the transaction; or
(iii) If the director, or an immediate family member of the director, serves as an officer,
director or trustee of a foundation, university, charitable or other not-for-profit
organization, and the Company’s discretionary charitable contributions to the
organization, in the aggregate are less than the greater of $1 million or 2% of that
organization’s latest publicly available annual consolidated gross revenues.

Evaluating
a metal substitution involves two primary factors:
1) the difference in processing methodologies, and
2) the material capabilities.
Though the upfront
tooling costs can be high, the investment can yield a
life expectancy of 100,000 to over 1 million cycles.
