ELEMENTIS PLC

Results of Rights Issue

Elementis plc ("Elementis" or the "Company") announces that, as at 11.00 a.m. on 18 October 2018 (the latest time and date for acceptance and payment in full and registration of renounced Provisional Allotment Letters), it had received valid acceptances in respect of 101,651,546 New Ordinary Shares (representing 87.59 per cent. of the New Ordinary Shares issued) pursuant to the Rights Issue announced on 11 September 2018 in connection with the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Mondo Minerals Holding B.V., details of which were set out in the Circular and the Prospectus each dated 11 September 2018.

Having disregarded fractional entitlements, it is expected that dealings in the 116,058,808 New Ordinary Shares, fully paid, will commence on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities from

8.00 a.m. today, 19 October 2018. It is also expected that the New Ordinary Shares held in uncertificated form will be credited to CREST accounts as soon as practicable after 8.00 a.m. today, 19 October 2018, and that share certificates in respect of New Ordinary Shares held in certificated form will be despatched to Qualifying Non-CREST Shareholders by no later than 29 October 2018.

In accordance with their obligations under the Underwriting Agreement dated 11 September 2018, UBS and HSBC (the "Joint Global Coordinators") shall use reasonable endeavours to procure, by no later than

5.00 p.m. on 22 October 2018, subscribers for all of the remaining 14,407,262 New Ordinary Shares not validly accepted (representing approximately 12.41 per cent. of the New Ordinary Shares issued), failing which the Joint Global Coordinators have agreed to subscribe for, on a several basis in proportion to their underwriting commitment, any remaining New Ordinary Shares.

The net proceeds from the placing of such New Ordinary Shares (after the deduction of the Issue Price of

152.0 pence per New Ordinary Share and the expenses of procuring subscribers, including any applicable brokerage and commissions and amounts in respect of value added tax which are not recoverable), if any, will be paid without interest to those persons who did not take up their rights in accordance with the terms of the Rights Issue, pro rata to their lapsed provisional allotments, save that individual amounts of less than GBP5.00 will not be paid to such persons but will be aggregated and paid to the Company.

A further announcement as to the number of New Ordinary Shares for which subscribers have been procured will be made in due course.

Following completion of the Rights Issue, the Company will have an issued and voting share capital of 580,315,740 Ordinary Shares of 5p each. The Company holds no such Ordinary Shares as treasury shares.

Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement have the meaning given to them in the Prospectus dated 11 September 2018.

This announcement contains certain forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements (i.e., all statements other than statements of historical fact) in relation to, or in respect of the financial condition, operations or businesses of the Group and/or Mondo. Statements containing the words "expect", "anticipate", "intends", "plan", "estimate", "aim", "forecast", "project" and similar expressions (or their negative) identify certain of these forward-looking statements. Any such statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances and are based on current assumptions and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future and may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. There are many factors that could cause actual results or developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by any such forward looking statements, including, but not limited to, matters of a political, economic, business, competitive or reputational nature. Past performance should not be taken as an indication or guarantee of future results, and no representation or warranty, express or implied, is made regarding future performance. No statement in this announcement should be construed as a profit estimate or profit forecast. Neither the Company nor any other person undertakes any obligation to update or revise any forward looking statement to reflect any change in circumstances or expectations.

Information to Distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Nil Paid Rights, the Fully Paid Rights and the New Ordinary Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that they each are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Distributors should note that: the price of the Nil Paid Rights, the Fully Paid Rights and/or the New Ordinary Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Nil Paid Rights, the Fully Paid Rights and the New Ordinary Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Nil Paid Rights, the Fully Paid Rights and/or the New Ordinary Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the offer. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Underwriters will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Nil Paid Rights, the Fully Paid Rights and/or the New Ordinary Shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Nil Paid Rights, the Fully Paid Rights and/or the New Ordinary Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
