The closure is subject to a consultation process with local employee representatives and approval of the French Labor Administration. In accordance with French legislation, Luxfer has begun a consultation process with employee representatives on this closure project and on the social programs to be offered. Luxfer would provide the employees of the plant effective support in the face of these unfortunate circumstances. This plan would be negotiated with unions and would include assistance in finding a new job, relocation allowances and skills re-training.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">The company noted that its customers will continue to receive the highest levels of customer service and product quality. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;color:#0a0a0a;font-weight:bold;">Forward-Looking Statement</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;color:#0a0a0a;font-style:italic;">This release contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
