Item 5.04.			Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans.

On September 6, 2024, Olin Corporation (“Olin”) provided written notice (the “Notice”) to its directors and executive officers that there will be a blackout period with respect to the Olin Corporation Contributing Employee Ownership Plan (the “CEOP”). The blackout period is to facilitate the transition of the plan administrator from Voya to Empower. During the blackout period, CEOP participants will be temporarily unable to access their accounts under the CEOP and will be unable to transfer or diversify investments in their individual accounts, including accounts that hold Olin common stock, or obtain a loan, withdrawal or distribution from the CEOP.

In accordance with Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and SEC Regulation BTR, the Notice informed Olin’s directors and executive officers of the blackout period and the restrictions on trading in Olin equity securities that apply to them during the blackout period. A copy of the Notice is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The blackout period is expected to begin on September 26, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) and end the week of October 13, 2024.

During the blackout period and for a period of two years thereafter, Olin shareholders or other interested persons may obtain information about the blackout period by contacting:
