officially change its name to Westlake Corporation effective on February&nbsp;18, 2022. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Westlake is now organized under one unified brand name with two
financial reporting segments: Housing&nbsp;&amp; Infrastructure Products and Performance&nbsp;&amp; Essential Materials. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We have reached an
important milestone in the history of our Company,&#148; said Westlake President and Chief Executive Officer Albert Chao. &#147;Our business portfolio has evolved over the last decade, particularly in the last year when we celebrated our 35<SUP
STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">th</SUP> Anniversary. Through a combination of strategic acquisitions and organic growth that has been fueled by market trends, particularly in the rapidly expanding housing and infrastructure sector, we
have made significant progress in diversifying our businesses and broadening our product offering. By changing our name, we will better represent the breadth of industries we serve, including housing and construction, automotive and consumer
lifestyle, packaging and healthcare.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Westlake completed a series of acquisitions during 2021, including LASCO Fittings, LLC, a manufacturer of
injection-molded PVC fittings; Dimex LLC, a producer of post-industrial recycled plastic consumer and building products; and Boral Limited&#146;s North American building products businesses, which include roofing, siding, trim, shutters, outdoor
living products, decorative stone and windows. These acquisitions have significantly enhanced the Company&#146;s position in the housing and infrastructure markets and have greatly expanded its overall product offering. In addition, Westlake
recently closed the acquisition of the global epoxy business of Hexion Inc., a leading supplier of coatings and composites used in such high-growth applications as wind turbine blades and light-weight automotive structural components. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s two newly established reporting segments replace the former segments, Olefins and Vinyls. Housing&nbsp;&amp; Infrastructure Products
includes Westlake Royal Building Products, Westlake Pipe&nbsp;&amp; Fittings, Westlake Global Compounds and Westlake Dimex. Performance&nbsp;&amp; Essential Materials includes Westlake North American Vinyls, Westlake North American
Chlor-alkali&nbsp;&amp; Derivatives, Westlake European&nbsp;&amp; Asian Chlorovinyls, Westlake Olefins, Westlake Polyethylene and Westlake Epoxy. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;As Westlake&#146;s business continues to grow globally, serving multiple industries, what has not changed is our unwavering commitment to the
communities where our 16,000 employees work and live, our insistence on high-quality products and services for our customers, and our unrelenting focus on safety and the environment,&#148; continued Chao. &#147;We are committed to delivering
consistent, durable and increasingly sustainable products to customers, while also remaining steadfast in creating value for our shareholders. We believe our new name and segmentation better reflects where our Company is today and positions us well
for continued long-term success.&#148; </P>
