The Annual Incentive Plan for fiscal 2020 provides participating executive team members the opportunity for cash bonuses based on the Company achieving a preset annual goal or target based on earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). On November 10, 2020, the Committee approved an amendment to the Fiscal 2020 Chase Corporation Annual Incentive Plan for the named executive officers and members of senior management in the plan. In light of the disruption and uncertainty created by the global COVID-19 pandemic and resulting impact on business conditions, and the relative financial results the Company was able to achieve, the Committee exercised its discretion in determining relevant exclusions and determined to payout the award opportunity at the 100% target achievement level.  No other changes have been made to the plan affecting executive compensation.</font></p><p style="font-family:'Calibri','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:11pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt;"><font

On November 12, 2020, Chase Corporation (the "Company") announced its fourth quarter results for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Section 5 — Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.02 - Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On August 20, 2019, the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Chase Corporation (the "Company") approved the Chase Corporation Annual Incentive Plan for the Company's fiscal year ended August 31, 2020. The Annual Incentive Plan for fiscal 2020 provides participating executive team members the opportunity for cash bonuses based on the Company achieving a preset annual goal or target based on earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). On November 10, 2020, the Committee approved an amendment to the Fiscal 2020 Chase Corporation Annual Incentive Plan for the named executive officers and members of senior management in the plan. In light of the disruption and uncertainty created by the global COVID-19 pandemic and resulting impact on business conditions, and the relative financial results the Company was able to achieve, the Committee exercised its discretion in determining relevant exclusions and determined to payout the award opportunity at the 100% target achievement level.  No other changes have been made to the plan affecting executive compensation.
