(c) Appointment of new Executive Vice President of Innospec Inc. (the "Company")

On and effective as of May 6, 2015, Patrick J. McDuff, 51, has been appointed as the Company's Executive Vice President in addition to his role as President, Fuel Specialties, Americas for the Company's subsidiary, Innospec Fuel Specialties, LLC.
Mr McDuff will be responsible for Innospec's Fuel Specialties business in the Americas and Asia Pacific regions and will serve a key role in the strategic development of that business globally. Mr McDuff has been President, Fuel Specialties Americas since 2010. Prior to this he held the positions of Regional Sales Manager, Director of Sales, and Vice President, since joining the Company in September 1994 . He has over 25 years’ experience in the chemicals industry, having previously held positions with Texaco Research & Development and Betz process Chemicals.

On May 7, 2015, Mr McDuff entered into an Executive Service Agreement with Innospec Fuel Specialties, LLC (effective May 6, 2015) (the "Agreement") to serve as Executive Vice President of the Company as well as President, Fuel Specialties, Americas. The Agreement provides for an indefinite term of employment and may be terminated by the company on twelve months’ written notice or by Mr McDuff on 6 months’ written notice.

The Agreement generally provides that Mr McDuff will receive an annual base salary of $345,000 initially, which will increase to $390,000 per annum, with effect from January 1, 2016 subject to his satisfactory performance during 2015 as determined by the President and CEO of the Company and approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Mr McDuff’s salary will then be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board starting January 1, 2017.

At the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the board, Mr McDuff will be eligible to participate in the Management Incentive Compensation plan (MICP) and his target bonus shall be 40% of his base salary for 2015, with a maximum bonus payable under this plan of 92%. In addition to the above and for 2015 only, Mr McDuff shall be eligible, at the absolute discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board, for an additional bonus under the Innospec Fuel Specialties, LLC bonus plan of up to 30% of his annual base salary.

Mr McDuff’s participation in the Innospec 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan will continue.

Mr McDuff will be required to hold a minimum of the equivalent of 200% of his annual base salary in Innospec Inc. Stock. He is expected to achieve this by December 31, 2019.

In the event of a change of control (as described in the Agreement), if Mr McDuff terminates his employment for "Good Reason" (as contemplated in the Agreement) or is terminated other than for "Cause" (as defined in the Agreement), he will be entitled to twenty four months’ compensation (i.e. base salary, bonus at target) from the date of change of control.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is only a summary and is entirely qualified by reference to the actual Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
