Amendment Description	EXPLANATORY NOTEThis Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of AgroFresh Solutions, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 10, 2023 (the “Annual Report”), is being filed to include in the Annual Report the information required by Part III (Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14) of Form 10-K. This information was previously omitted from the Annual Report in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to the Annual Report on Form 10-K, which permits the above-referenced Items to be incorporated in the Annual Report on Form 10-K by reference from a definitive proxy statement filed no later than 120 days after December 31, 2022. We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to include Part III information in our Form 10-K because we will not file a definitive proxy statement containing this information within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K. This Amendment No. 1 amends and restates in their entirety Items 10 through 14 of the Annual Report. As required by Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, new certificates of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer are being filed as exhibits to this Amendment No. 1. Except as otherwise expressly noted herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend any other information set forth in the Annual Report, and we have not updated disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that occurred at a date subsequent to the date of the filing of the Annual Report. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report and our other filings with the SEC. Certain capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 1 have the meanings given to them in the Annual Report.
