<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="sans-serif">Patrick Williams, President and CEO of Innospec said, &#147;I am delighted that we have taken this important step in acquiring to build out our presence in this growing market. Strata Control will become part of our
Oilfield Specialties business, and we look forward to working with Steve and his team to expand the sales of their excellent product lines, using Innospec&#146;s global organization. It is important to recognize that  this is only our first
acquisition in growing this business, and we will continue to pursue other attractive opportunities in this market&#148;</FONT></P>

<FONT size=2 face="sans-serif">Steve Cart, the former owner, President and CEO of Strata Control, who will remain with the business, added, &#147;We are pleased to be joining an exciting and growing company, that will give Strata Control a chance to
expand at a faster rate than we could do independently, and, at the same time, help Innospec build their Oilfield Specialties business.&#148;</FONT></P>
