Effective as of the closing of the acquisition of the Huntsman EDS business on December 30, 2016 (the "Huntsman EDS Closing") by Innospec Inc. (the "Company"), the Company is reassigning the duties of its principal accounting officer from Philip Curran to Christopher Parsons. Mr. Curran, who is currently the principal accounting officer of the Company, will be focusing on the duties of Performance Chemicals business accounting, as opposed to group level accounting for the Company on a consolidated basis.
