Starboard Value LP, together with the other participants named herein (collectively, “Starboard”), has filed a definitive proxy statement and accompanying BLUE proxy card with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to be used to solicit votes for the election of its slate of highly-qualified director nominees at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders of Huntsman Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

On March 7, 2022, Starboard’s director candidate James Gallogly delivered a letter to David Stryker, the Company’s Executive Vice President and General Counsel, highlighting various false and misleading statements with respect to Mr. Gallogly’s background and experience that were published by the Company in recent communications and filings. The full text of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
