ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Ingevity Corporation ("Ingevity") preliminary financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information contained in Item 2.02 of this report, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

ITEM 2.05. COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES
As a result of continued deteriorating market conditions within the South America region, on October 31, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a plan to exit our Performance Chemical's manufacturing operations in Palmeira, Santa Catarina, Brazil. As a result, the Company expects the action will result in a pre-tax charge of approximately $34.2 million to $35.2 million including a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge to property, plant and equipment in the amount of $30.2 million and severance costs of $2.0 million that were recorded during the third quarter ended September 30, 2016. The severance costs are expected to be paid beginning in the fourth quarter of 2016. Refinery production is expected to cease by year end with decommissioning of the facility to end by mid-2017. The Company expects additional exit and disposal costs to be incurred and paid through the first half of 2017 in the range of $2 million to $3 million.
