Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On October 30, 2018, Venator Materials PLC (the “Company”) hosted a conference call announcing the Company’s financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. In connection with that call, the Company referred to a slide presentation it had posted on its website. During the call, a question was asked regarding page 9 of the slide presentation, which incorrectly stated that estimated Pori expenses for 2018, net of insurance proceeds, were $270 million. The estimated Pori expenses for 2018, net of insurance proceeds, should have been stated as $66 million. The Company has corrected this information in the slide presentation posted on its website at https://www.venatorcorp.com under “Investor relations  - Events and presentations” under the title “Q3 2018 Earnings Call.” The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise this estimate, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
