NOTE 4 – RESTRUCTURING
During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company has recorded provisions of $21.1 million for the restructuring of its Octane Additives segment in line with the end of the manufacturing and sale of tetra ethyl lead (“TEL”) for use in motor gasoline. The Company expects that the Octane Additives segment will not make
 any
further sales
and will cease to be a reporting segment from January 1, 2021
. Production of TEL will continue for sales to the aviation market, as reported within our Fuel Specialties segment.
The provisions comprise the future committed costs of environmental monitoring
 
of $2.0 million,
remediation of facilities of $7.5 million, provision for
 
a
 
loss making contract of $7.2 million, impairment of tangible assets of $2.0 million and costs of redundancy due to the
down-sizing
of the TEL operations of $2.4 million.
