Solstice Advanced Materials to Acquire Element Solutions, Creating an Industry-Leading Advanced Materials Platform Aligned to Serving Attractive Secular Growth Markets

July 6, 2026

MORRIS PLAINS, N.J., and MIAMI, FL July 6, 2026 – Solstice Advanced Materials (Nasdaq: SOLS) (“Solstice” or the “Company”) and Element Solutions (NYSE: ESI) (“Element”) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement for Solstice to acquire Element in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at approximately $14.5 billion, including the assumption of net debt. The transaction represents a significant acceleration of Solstice’s strategy to build an industry-leading advanced materials platform with increased exposure to high-growth electronics, AI infrastructure and other attractive end markets.

On a combined basis, Solstice and Element would have full year 2025 net sales of approximately $6.8 billion and a 26% adjusted EBITDA margin including run-rate synergies. The combined company is expected to benefit from greater scale, a full suite of offerings for electronics customers, and an attractive set of specialty material businesses serving numerous attractive end markets. Element adds focused electronics, formulation, and technical service capabilities and a robust technology portfolio that complement Solstice’s strengths in chemistry, application development, refrigerant application solutions, and high-performance materials.

“Overall, we believe the combined company will be very well-positioned to benefit from generational tailwinds in high-growth end markets,” said David Sewell, President and CEO of Solstice. “Element brings highly complementary capabilities, deep customer relationships and a technical service-led model that expands how we support customers from early-stage development through high-volume manufacturing. This high-performing team brings with it inimitable domain expertise and customer process know-how in addition to a compelling track-record of value creation for shareholders. Together, we expect Element and Solstice to be extremely well positioned to deliver on our customers’ growing requirements for signal integrity, thermal management, reliability and performance.”

Sewell added, “Both companies have strong cultures grounded in integrity, innovation, teamwork and customer focus, with comprehensive patent portfolios and highly talented employees who are at the top of their profession. We intend to blend the best of our talents and cultures to build an organization with a broader technology platform and a stronger ability to co-innovate with customers to develop unique solutions addressing emerging, complex requirements from our combined customer base.”

Ben Gliklich, Chief Executive Officer of Element Solutions, said, “Since Element’s founding in 2019, we have delivered a strategy balancing operational excellence and prudent capital allocation to cement our position in the fastest growing, highest value niches of our markets. This transaction recognizes that achievement and brings together two great companies with shared attributes – strong market positions, attractive margins, deep technical know-how and excellent people – to accelerate their combined growth. We are creating a scaled advanced materials platform with complementary capabilities to broaden our offerings in our core electronics markets and deliver differentiated solutions to customers. We believe that the breadth of the combined portfolio along with enhanced innovation and manufacturing capabilities will allow us to better solve the pain points emerging in the leading edge of the electronics industry. This is an exciting opportunity for our people and shareholders, both of whom are expected to participate in the anticipated long-term upside of the combined company.”

Strategic and Financial Rationale

The transaction is expected to create several strategic and financial benefits, including:

“This transaction allows us to amplify our transformational growth in electronics while building on the strength of Solstice’s existing businesses,” Sewell said. “Our refrigerant application solutions platform, including data center cooling, and our specialty exposures such as nuclear fuel remain core to the combined company’s value proposition and central to helping customers improve efficiency, resilience and performance. Together, we aim to create a higher growth, higher margin advanced materials leader with greater global reach. I am confident we will successfully integrate our teams by taking a best-of-both approach, building on our respective strengths, and creating an even stronger organization.”

Transaction Details

Under the terms of the agreement, Element Solutions shareholders will receive, for each share of Element common stock, $10.00 in cash and 0.500 shares of Solstice common stock, representing implied consideration of approximately $50.10 per Element share and a premium of approximately 15% over Element’s closing share price on July 2, 2026. Upon closing, Element shareholders are expected to own approximately 44% of the combined company.

The transaction has been unanimously approved by the respective Boards of Directors of both companies and is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals and approval by Solstice and Element shareholders, as applicable.

Upon closing, the combined company will operate as Solstice. David Sewell will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. Solstice expects to maintain a strong operating presence across both companies’ existing major sites and build a leadership team with strong representation from both organizations to drive our shared success.

Upon closing, Solstice’s Board of Directors will be comprised of 11 directors, including Element Solutions CEO Ben Gliklich and two other designees from the Element board, subject to standard governance procedures.

Financing

Solstice has secured fully committed financing for the transaction in the form of an initial $4.7 billion bridge commitment from Goldman Sachs, which it plans to replace with permanent debt financing, which it intends to use in addition to cash from its balance sheet to fund the cash consideration payable at closing of the transaction.

Important Note about Combined and Non-GAAP Financial Information

The financial information for the combined businesses of Solstice and Element Solutions is based on management’s estimates, assumptions and projections and has not been prepared in conformance with the applicable requirements of Regulation S-X relating to pro forma financial information, and the required pro forma adjustments have not been applied and are not reflected therein. This information is provided for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the historical financial statements of Solstice and Element Solutions. These measures are provided for illustrative purposes and are based on an arithmetic sum of the relevant historical financial measures of Solstice and Element Solutions. Combined Adjusted EBITDA is the arithmetic sum of Solstice’s Adjusted Standalone EBITDA and Element Solutions’ Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of expected net synergies. Combined Adjusted EBITDA Margin is inclusive of expected net synergies. These measures do not reflect what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the proposed transaction occurred on or prior to the dates indicated. Such illustrative information may differ materially from pro forma information included in SEC filings. Various factors could cause actual future results to differ materially from those currently estimated by management, including, but not limited to, the risks described above and in each of Solstice’s and Element Solutions’ respective filings with the SEC.

This communication also includes certain financial measures not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), such as adjusted standalone EBITDA, pro forma adjusted EBITDA, combined adjusted EBITDA, combined adjusted EBITDA margin, combined sales, synergies, integration benefits, free cash flow, net debt and net leverage. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and are not meant to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP measures. There are limitations to non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. Solstice and Element Solutions caution you not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures.
