industrial composites, adhesives and coatings markets. CVC Thermoset

synergies, and globalization opportunities. The business currently achieves EBITDA margins in excess of 25% and we expect
to achieve significant synergies within two years.

Peter Huntsman, Chairman, President and CEO
Under terms of the agreement, Huntsman will pay $300 million, subject to
customary closing adjustments, in an all-cash transaction funded from available
liquidity. Based on full year 2019, the purchase price represents an adjusted
EBITDA multiple of approximately 10 times, or between approximately 7 to 8
times pro forma for synergies, the lower multiple end being dependent upon
normal growth market conditions. The transaction is expected to close around
midyear of 2020.
