We are in the process of restarting production for both TiO2 and functional additives in the first quarter of 2023, however we do not believe it is economically viable to continue TiO2 production longer term. We therefore intend to permanently close TiO2 production at our Duisburg site unless economic conditions meaningfully improve. As a result, we will engage with the relevant works council when required. We intend to transfer the production of certain specialty TiO2 products to other sites with lower manufacturing costs.
