MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

I am pleased to announce the launch of the 9^th capital increase reserved for Arkema Group employees. The subscription period will take place in the second half of September 2024.

As you know, since our listing we have been particularly keen to involve the Group’s employees in its development and to make sure they are united around our long-term strategy. Capital increases such as the one we are launching again today contribute to this. This initiative reflects our confidence in Arkema’s potential, our collective commitment and our shared vision to continue building a robust and thriving company.

In 2023, our Group delivered a solid financial performance in a challenging economic environment and presented an ambitious new roadmap¹ for the 2024-28 period, focusing on accelerating organic growth driven by sustainable megatrends. In this context, Arkema is also placing increasing emphasis on its CSR performance, with a strong focus on innovation and decarbonization, and last year, it obtained validation of its 1.5°C trajectory by 2030 by the SBTi (Science Based Target initiative) organization.

Your everyday involvement, professionalism and passion have always been key to our performance and success in specialty materials. By investing in our company, you extend this commitment and contribute to our corporate project and Arkema’s growth.

Most of you are already familiar with the terms and conditions of this offer, which we renew every two years, so I would particularly address those of you who have joined Arkema recently - new recruits, teams from our latest acquisitions - and are new to this scheme. It enables employees of the Group to subscribe for Arkema shares on preferential terms, including a 25% discount. 

Moreover, is it important for you to be reminded that any investment in shares may carry risks, which is why we urge you to carefully read the documentation relating to this offer, the terms and conditions and full details of which you will receive at the beginning of September.

I would like to take the opportunity at the launch of this new capital increase to thank you all again for your vital contribution to the Group’s development. I hope that many of you will participate in this offer, as a sign of your confidence in the future of the company.

Kind regards,

¹ The Group’s past financial results are not a guide to the future performance of Arkema shares.
