Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On March 15, 2022, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of December 20, 2021, by and among Hexion Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the indirect parent of Hexion Inc., ASP Resins Intermediate Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”) and an affiliate of American Securities LLC, and ASP Resins Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) and as a result of the Merger, each share of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than dissenting shares and shares owned by the Company, Buyer, Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer or Merger Sub) was converted into the right to receive $30.00 (“Merger Consideration”) in cash, without interest. All such shares of Common Stock were automatically cancelled and retired and ceased to exist.

At the Effective Time and as a result of the Merger, each restricted stock unit relating to shares of Common Stock (each, a “Company RSU”), other than the Company PSUs (as defined below) that were outstanding under the Hexion Holdings Corporation 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan and each restricted cash unit relating to shares of Common Stock (each, a “Company RCU”), other than the Company PCUs (as defined below), in each case whether or not vested, were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, within 15 business days following the Effective Time, an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of the Merger Consideration and the number of shares of Common Stock represented by such Company RSU or Company RCU.

Any Company RSU and any Company RCU for which the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such award is determined based on the satisfaction of performance conditions (each, a “Company PSU” and “Company PCU,” respectively, and together the “Performance Awards”) were deemed to have vested or been earned, as applicable, as follows:

(i) for Performance Awards granted in 2019, as if a VWAP (as defined in the applicable award agreement) of $30.00 had been achieved; and

(ii) for Performance Awards granted in 2020 and 2021, at the applicable target amount (100%).

At the Effective Time, each outstanding Performance Award were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, within 15 business days following the Effective Time, an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of the Merger Consideration and the number of vested or earned shares of Common Stock represented by such Performance Award.
