Effective June 2, 2026, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of Innospec Inc. (the “Company”), in accordance with the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company (i) increased the number of directors of the Company from seven (7) to eight (8), and (ii) appointed Shelley Bausch to serve as a Class II director of the Company starting as of July 1, 2026, and until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company or until her successor is duly elected and qualified.

Ms. Bausch will participate in the standard compensation plan for non-employee directors which includes an annual cash retainer of $100,000, paid quarterly and an additional annual retainer of $5,000, paid quarterly, for serving as an Audit Committee member. Ms. Bausch will also be eligible to receive an annual grant of equity under the Innospec Inc.
