Ecovyst Announces Secondary Offering of 11,490,444 Shares of Common Stock by Selling Stockholders and Repurchase of Common Stock

Ecovyst Inc. (NYSE: ECVT) (the “Company”) today announced that funds affiliated with CCMP Capital Advisors, LP (the “Selling Stockholders”) intend to offer for sale their remaining interest in the Company, 11,490,444 shares of the Company’s common stock, pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Offering”).

The Selling Stockholders will receive all of the net proceeds from the Offering. No shares are being sold by the Company.

Subject to the completion of the Offering, the Company intends to repurchase from the underwriter 3,000,000 shares of the common stock being sold in the Offering at a price per share equal to the price per share paid by the underwriter to the Selling Stockholders in the Offering. The Company intends to fund the share repurchase with cash on hand and cash from operations. The closing of the share repurchase is conditioned on, and expected to occur simultaneously with, the closing of the Offering. The Offering is subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the Offering may be completed.

Jefferies is serving as the underwriter for the Offering.

An automatic shelf registration statement (including a prospectus) relating to the Offering was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 26, 2021 and became effective upon filing. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus included in that registration statement and the documents incorporated by reference in that registration statement as well as the prospectus supplement related to the Offering.
