				Item 5.02(e): Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers<p>The Board of Directors of Innospec Inc. has considered and approved certain one-time bonus awards that are designed to promote retention of key senior management.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The awards recognize management's important role in the future continued growth of the Company, including in Active Chemicals, and expansion in Latin America, Russia and other key international markets.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  The awards also recognize management's efforts, commitment and performance during some particularly testing recent periods for the Company in challenging economic conditions that included certain ongoing government investigations that have been resolved.  In making its determinations, the Board also gave appropriate consideration to the Company's results for the third quarter of 2010 which showed significant improvement compared to the same quarter in 2009.<p>The retention bonuses are subject to certain conditions, including the following:  one thir
d of the net bonus amount received after tax must be re-invested by the recipient in the ordinary shares of the Company; such purchased stock must be held for a minimum of one year; and, if the recipient voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company anytime within two years of receipt of the bonus, the Company reserves the right to demand repayment of the entire bonus amount.  <p>The bonuses generally range between $50,000 before tax to $225,000 before tax except that the amounts for Patrick Williams, the Chief Executive Officer, and Ian Cleminson, the Chief Financial Officer, are $300,000 and $250,000, respectively.  The amounts for the Company's other named executive officers are $225,000 for Phil Boon, $225,000 for Brian Watt and $175,000 for Ian McRobbie. The aggregate amount of the bonuses is approximately $2 million.
