Westlake Corporation (NYSE:WLK) ("Westlake") announced today that it has priced its previously announced underwritten public offering of $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2035 (the "2035 Notes") and $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2055 (the "2055 Notes" and, together with the 2035 Notes, the "Notes") under its existing shelf registration statement. The 2035 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.550% per annum and will mature on November 15, 2035. The 2055 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.375% per annum and will mature on November 15, 2055. The sale of the Notes is scheduled to close on November 6, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Westlake intends to use the net proceeds from the proposed public offering of the Notes to fund the repurchase of its outstanding 3.600% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Senior Notes") pursuant to a concurrent cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") for any and all of the 2026 Senior Notes. Westlake anticipates using any remaining net proceeds to fund the purchase price of its pending acquisition of the global compounding solutions businesses of the ACI/Perplastic Group (the "ACI Acquisition") and for general corporate purposes, including working capital management. The offering of the Notes is not contingent upon the successful completion of the Tender Offer or the consummation of the ACI Acquisition.

The Notes are being offered and will be sold only pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities (including the Notes), nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. The offering of the Notes is being made only by means of a prospectus and related prospectus supplement meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell any of the 2026 Senior Notes. The Tender Offer is being made only by and pursuant to, and on the terms and conditions set forth in, the Offer to Purchase dated November 4, 2025.
