The investments aim to expand manufacturing capacity of silicone polymers and high-performance sealants among other high-value materials. In 2021, the Company announced several key growth capital projects to increase capacity of performance silicones and specialty materials. These projects have either come online in 2021 or are expected to start up over the next several years. These include: • Silicone elastomers and thermally conductive materials meeting growing demand for vehicles, including autonomous and electric vehicles, hybrids and internal combustion engines, that are lighter, safer and have a lower-carbon footprint; • Silicone polymers and sealants supporting greater design flexibility and enabling safe, sustainable, durable building and infrastructure; • Silicone engineered materials and pressure sensitive adhesives improving reliability and efficiency in consumer and electronics end-markets; and • Cationic hydroxyethylcellulose ("CatHEC") polymers and polyethylene glycols ("PEGs") addressing a variety of home and personal care applications. CORPORATE Corporate includes certain enterprise and governance activities (including insurance operations, environmental operations, etc.); non-business aligned joint ventures; non-business aligned litigation expenses; and discontinued or non-aligned businesses. 14
