Press releases issued by RPM International Inc. (“RPM”) and its operating companies and subsidiaries (collectively with RPM, the “Company”) shall adhere to the following policy:

• All Company press releases shall be prepared with the utmost care and professionalism, and shall be consistent with RPM’s Values & Expectations of 168 (“RPM’s Code of Conduct”) which is posted on at Code of Conduct - The Value of 168 | RPM International Inc. (rpminc.com).
• Operating company press releases shall not include any reference to the ultimate parent company, RPM, or its ticker symbol (NYSE:RPM), unless authorized in advance by RPM. Submit drafts to RPM’s Senior Director - Corporate Communications, Tammy Zollner at communications@rpminc.com, prior to issuance for possible editing and final approval. Allow sufficient time for this additional step prior to the issuance of the press release.
• Should the subject matter of a press release be considered material – or potentially material – (e.g., information that could cause an investor of RPM to buy or sell RPM’s common stock, such as an acquisition, loss of a major customer, or product recall), the Company shall submit a draft of the press release to RPM for review.
