Covenant update

Elementis plc ("Elementis" or the "Group"), a global specialty chemicals company, announces that the relaxation of the Group net debt/EBITDA* banking covenant to 3.75x, agreed in Q1 2020 as part of the Group's response to COVID-19, has now been extended to include the two testing points in 2021 (i.e. 30 June and 31 December). The arrangement costs are immaterial.
