·                  No. 1 position in U.S. plastics distribution.

·                  23,000+ products used in a broad cross-section of industries, including chemicals manufacturing, energy, paints and coatings, automotive, healthcare and personal care.

“This transaction allows us to align our ownership structure in a way that accelerates our progress towards defining distribution,” said David Bradley, President and CEO of Nexeo Solutions. “With a strong, centralized operating platform and access to multiple sources of capital, I believe we will be positioned to grow organically and through acquisition.”

“We are pleased to partner with TPG to introduce Nexeo Solutions as a publicly listed company,” said Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Chairman of WLRH. “Over the last two years, we have evaluated a number of potential acquisitions for WLRH and we believe this opportunity offers a superior option for our shareholders. Nexeo Solutions presents a unique opportunity to invest in an industry-leading company supported by strong business fundamentals and long-term structural growth trends. Additionally, we believe the Company is an ideal platform to further roll up the fragmented chemicals and plastics distribution space, creating significant value for shareholders. We look forward to our partnership with the Nexeo Solutions management team as we work with them to further capitalize on these attractive growth prospects.”

“It has been our privilege to work with Nexeo management since our acquisition of the business from Ashland in 2011 to build a world-class distribution platform poised for further growth,” said Christopher Yip of TPG. “We look forward to remaining a significant owner of the business and a value-added partner to the company as it enters this new phase of growth.”

The Nexeo Solutions management team, headed by David Bradley, is expected to continue to lead Nexeo Solutions, Inc. following the consummation of the Merger. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr. will serve as Chairman of the Board.
