On December 13, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of PolyOne Corporation (the “Company”) approved the termination of the Amended and Restated PolyOne Corporation Senior Executive Annual Incentive Plan (most recently approved by the Company’s shareholders in 2015) (the “SEAIP”). Any annual incentive award opportunities granted under the SEAIP prior to December 13, 2018 will continue in effect in accordance with their terms and the applicable terms of the SEAIP had it not been terminated.
