Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this presentation are forward-looking statements within the meaning of and made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A

of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition, our management may from

time to time make oral forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking

statements may be identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “seek” or

“intend” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and

other future events and conditions and are based on currently available financial, economic and competitive data and our current business plans. Actual

results could vary materially depending on risks and uncertainties that may affect our operations, markets, services, prices and other factors as discussed in

the Risk Factors section of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, we

caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements as it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to

anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking

statements include, but are not limited to, a weakening of global economic and financial conditions, interruptions in the supply of or increased cost of raw

materials, the loss of, or difficulties with the further realization of, cost savings in connection with our strategic initiatives, the impact of our indebtedness, our

failure to comply with financial covenants under our credit facilities or other debt, pricing actions by our competitors that could affect our operating margins,

changes in governmental regulations and related compliance and litigation costs and the other factors listed in the Risk Factors section of our SEC filings. For

a more detailed discussion of these and other risk factors, see the Risk Factors section of our most recent filings made with the SEC. All forward-looking

statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary notice. The forward-looking statements made by us speak only as of the date on which

they are made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or

revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

In April 2021, Hexion completed the sale of its Phenolic Specialty Resin, Hexamine and European-based Forest Products Resins businesses for approximately $425 million, including cash consideration of $304 million, to Black Diamond and Investindustrial

– Following divestiture, Hexion used a portion of the net proceeds to pay down $150 million of the aggregate principal of the eurodenominated tranche Senior Secured Term Loan; net debt to Pro Forma EBITDA leverage ratio was 3.0 times (LTM 6/30/21)

Divestiture delivered:

– Sustainability alignment: greater percentage of total revenue now aligned with the residential construction megatrend

– Overall automotive end market exposure is reduced, but Hexion retains majority of high-margin, specialty applications

– “Greener” Portfolio: greater percentage of revenue now aligned with wind energy

– Geographic balance shifts with greater exposure to N. America and less cyclical Adhesive segment

Divestiture Improved Product Mix and Aligned Focus on Specialty Portfolio Use of Proceeds Used to Reduce Debt and Invest in Business

Coatings & Composites Segment: Composite Leaf Spring Application in New Ford F-150 Model

Strategic Partnership with Rassini

An EPIKOTE™ epoxy resin system from Hexion has been specified by Rassini for an innovative rear suspension system found in Ford Motor Company’s new 2021 model of the F-150 pickup truck

Rassini has developed and manufactures the hybrid rear suspension, which consists of a parabolic main steel leaf supported by a composite helper

− With this hybrid suspension, the same stiffness and durability as a conventional multi-steel leaf spring pack is achieved, while realizing a significant weight reduction

− In addition to the positive impact this has on the vehicle’s overall carbon footprint and payload increase, the lighter weight component leaves provide a smoother engagement, less friction and noise

In partnership with industry developers, Hexion is constantly adapting its composite resin portfolio to answer manufacturers’ increasing need for strong yet lightweight alternatives to metal, that can be produced at faster speeds

Fresh Start Accounting Impact

Upon emerging from Chapter 11 on July 1, 2019 ("Effective Date") and qualifying for the application of fresh-start accounting, Hexion's assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values which, in some cases, were significantly different than amounts included in the Company's financial statements prior to the Effective Date. Accordingly, Hexion's financial condition and results of operations on and after the Effective Date are not directly comparable to our financial condition and results of operations prior to the Effective Date. References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the reorganized Company subsequent to the Effective Date. References to “Predecessor” or “Predecessor Company” refer to the financial position and results of operations of the Company on or before the Effective Date.
