On December 6, 2012, the Company sent a notice to its directors and executive officers in connection with a blackout period with respect to the OMNOVA Solutions Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”). The blackout period is required due to the transition to a new Plan administrator. During the blackout period, Plan participants will be unable to change future contribution rates or how future contributions will be invested, request an exchange (transfer) between investment options, including with respect to the Company stock fund, or check account balances. The blackout period will begin at 4:00 pm Eastern Time on December 21, 2012 and end during the week of January 20, 2013.
The notice to directors and executive officers informed them of the blackout period and the OMNOVA common stock trading restrictions (including with respect to derivatives) that apply to them during the blackout period. This notice was required pursuant to Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 104 of Regulation BTR under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
A copy of the notice to the directors and executive officers is attached as Exhibit 99. During the blackout period and for a period of two years after the ending date of the blackout period, shareholders or other interested parties may obtain, without charge, information about the actual beginning and ending dates of the blackout period by contacting the Corporate Secretary by telephone at 330-869-4200 or by mail to OMNOVA Solutions Inc., Attn: Secretary, 175 Ghent Road, Fairlawn, Ohio 44333.
