Response to open letter from Gatemore Capital Management LLP

The Board of Elementis plc (the "Company" or "Elementis") notes the open letter published today from Gatemore Capital Management LLP ("Gatemore"), a 0.6% shareholder.

The Board continues to believe that shareholder value is best driven by a focus on delivering the substantial actions that are currently being progressed at pace throughout the business and that underpin progress towards the 2026 targets of 19%+ operating margin, >90% cash conversion and >20% return on capital, generated by $90m of above market revenue growth and $30m cost savings.

The Board continues to engage with, and welcomes feedback from,  all shareholders, with a clear focus on driving shareholder value, and looks forward to updating the market in its trading update alongside its AGM tomorrow.
