On May 20, 2024, Michael Preston notified AdvanSix Inc. (the “Company”) of his intention to retire from his position as Chief Financial Officer during the 2024 fiscal year. Mr. Preston has served as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer since its spin-off in 2016 and, prior to the spin-off, had been with the predecessor company, Honeywell International Inc., since 2001. The Company extends its gratitude to Mr. Preston for his many years of service and contributions to the Company. Mr. Preston’s decision to step down is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.
The Company has initiated a process to identify a successor. Mr. Preston plans to continue as Chief Financial Officer through the appointment of his successor, and will remain at the Company through year-end 2024 to help facilitate the transition of his responsibilities.
