We will deliver for our stakeholders through multiple value creation levers—many of
which are unique to Avient:
o Demand for sustainable solutions, healthcare, and composites, together with Clariant Masterbatch
revenue synergies, that will drive long-term revenue growth in excess of GDP
o Clariant Masterbatch cost synergy capture will result in significant near-term benefit
In addition, we remain committed to increasing annual dividends in line with earnings growth and
opportunistically buying back shares, all while remaining modestly levered.

Calvert City facility,
together with certain defense costs of Goodrich Corporation.
A remedial investigation and feasibility study (RIFS) is underway at Calvert City.
Utilizing the preliminary results of this study, we were able to develop estimates for potential
remedies at Calvert City.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/Polyone%2520AR.pdf
With respect to the former Goodrich Corporation Calvert City site, the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) issued its Record of Decision (ROD) in September 2018, selecting a remedy consistent
with our accrual assumptions.
Refer to Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further
discussion of the Calvert City site and our overall environmental liability.
The settlement agreement provides a mechanism to pursue allocation of future remediation costs
at the Calvert City site to Westlake Vinyls.
