EXPLANATORY NOTE / REGISTRATION OF ADDITIONAL SECURITIES
This Registration Statement is being filed by the Corporation pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register an additional 475,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") pursuant to the A&R 2016 Plan.
The Board of Directors of the Corporation ("Board") initially approved the Kraton Corporation Equity and Cash Incentive Plan on April 4, 2016 (the "Original 2016 Plan"). The Board then amended and restated the Original 2016 Plan effective as of May 22, 2020. The Board approved the First Amendment to the A&R 2016 Plan (the "First Amendment") on March 23, 2021, and the First Amendment was adopted by the Corporation's stockholders on May 19, 2021. The First Amendment amended the A&R 2016 Plan to increase the number of Shares available for issuance under the A&R 2016 Plan from 3,350,000 Shares to 3,825,000 Shares (plus any shares of Common Stock subject to awards under the Original 2016 Plan, the A&R 2016 Plan or the Kraton Performance Polymers, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2009 Plan") that have been or may be canceled, terminated, forfeited, or expired unexercised, inclusive of any shares of Common Stock remaining available for awards under the 2009 Plan).
As of the date of filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8, there are 1,517,788 shares of Common Stock that remain available for issuance under the terms of the A&R 2016 Plan, and an additional 237,551 and 961,282 shares of Common Stock are subject to awards that remain outstanding under the 2009 Plan and Original 2016 Plan, respectively, but may become available under the terms of the A&R 2016 Plan if such awards are canceled, terminated, forfeited or expire unexercised following the adoption of the A&R 2016 Plan.
The Shares are additional securities of the same class as other securities for which Registration Statements (and amendments thereto) on Form S-8 (Reg. Nos. 333-211817, 333-216223, 333-163893 and 333-225663) were previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on June 3, 2016, February 24, 2017, February 12, 2018 and June 15, 2018, respectively (the "Prior Registration Statements"). The information contained in the Prior Registration Statements is incorporated herein by reference and made part of this Registration Statement, except to the extent supplemented, amended or superseded by the information set forth herein.
Further registration statements on Form S-8 will be filed with respect to any additional securities that may be offered or issued pursuant to the A&R 2016 Plan.
