Ashland’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held on Thursday, January 30, 2020 at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time at the Hotel du Pont, located at 42 West 11th Street, Wilmington, DE 19801. As previously announced, participants in the Ashland Employee Savings Plan (the “Employee Savings Plan”), the Ashland Employee Union Savings Plan (the “Union Plan”), or the International Specialty Products Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “ISP Plan”) can view Ashland’s Proxy Statement and Annual Report to Stockholders online. We encourage you to take advantage of this service.

Paper copies of the Proxy Statement, the Annual Report to Stockholders and your proxy card can be requested by accessing this website http://www.ViewMaterial.com/ASH and clicking on the “Send Material” link.

As a participant in the Employee Savings Plan, the Union Plan, or the ISP Plan you may instruct the Trustee on how to vote the shares of Ashland Common Stock credited to your account by telephone or over the Internet. This instruction also applies to a proportionate number of those shares of Ashland Common Stock allocated to participants’ accounts for which voting instructions are not timely received by the Trustee. These shares are collectively referred to as non-directed shares. Each participant who gives the Trustee such an instruction acts as a named fiduciary for the applicable plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Additionally, any participant in the Employee Savings Plan who wishes to vote the non-directed shares differently from the shares credited to his or her account or who wishes not to vote the non-directed shares at all may do so by requesting a separate voting instruction card from Corporate Election Services, P.O. Box 1150, Pittsburgh, PA 15230. Participants in the Union Plan or the ISP Plan, however, cannot direct the non-directed shares to be voted differently from the shares in his or her accounts.

Votes cast by telephone or over the Internet are tabulated by our proxy tabulator and are confidential. Ashland does not have access to individual votes.

Even if you do not have regular Internet access at work, you will be able to view the Proxy Statement and Annual Report to Stockholders and vote online.

In order for your instructions to the Trustee to be counted, you must vote before 6:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 28, 2020.
