Such forward-looking statements include statements (covered by words like “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “may,” “could,” “believes,” “feels,” “plans,” “intends” or similar words or expressions, for example) which relate to earnings, growth potential, operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future.

COVID-19

vaccines and the effects of any sanctions, export restrictions, supply chain disruptions or increased economic uncertainty related to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the manner in which the pandemic and/or such conflict may precipitate or exacerbate other risks and/or uncertainties, and our actual performance or results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form

10-Q

and Article 10 of Regulation

S-X

under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

It is our opinion, however, that all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, unless otherwise disclosed) have been made which are necessary for the condensed consolidated financial statements to be fairly stated. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed on February 16, 2022 (the “2021 Form

10-K”).

The results for the interim period covered by this report are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

When we use the terms “Innospec,” “the Corporation,” “the Company,” “Registrant,” “we,” “us” and “our,” we are referring to Innospec Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires.

NOTE 2 – SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company reports its financial performance based on the following three reportable segments: Performance Chemicals, Fuel Specialties and Oilfield Services.

The Performance Chemicals, Fuel Specialties and Oilfield Services segments operate in markets where we actively seek growth opportunities although their ultimate customers are different.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on operating income. The following tables analyze sales and other financial information by the Company’s reportable segments:


	Three Months Ended March 31
(in millions)	2022			2021
Net Sales:
Personal Care		103.4			68.2

Total operating income	$	44.3		$	28.2

Table of Contents

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of options that are dilutive and outstanding during the period under the treasury stock method. Per share amounts are computed as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
	2022		2021
Numerator (in millions):
Net income available to common stockholders	$	36.5	$	23.4

Denominator (in thousands):
Weighted average common shares outstanding		24,791		24,601
Dilutive effect of stock options and awards		165		239

Denominator for diluted earnings per share		24,956		24,840

Net income per share, basic:	$	1.47	$	0.95

Net income per share, diluted:	$	1.46	$	0.94

In the three months ended March 31, 2022, the average number of anti-dilutive options excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share were 38,825 (three months ended March 31, 2021 –15,144).

NOTE 4 – GOODWILL

The following table summarizes the goodwill movements in the year:


(in millions)	Gross Cost
Opening balance at January 1, 2022	$	364.3
Exchange effect		(2.3	)

Closing balance at March 31, 2022	$	362.0

Table of Contents

NOTE 5 – OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The following table analyzes other intangible assets movements in the year:


(in millions)	2022
Gross cost at January 1	$	295.2
Exchange effect		(1.1	)

Gross cost at March 31		294.1

Accumulated amortization at January 1		(237.7	)
Amortization expense		(4.0	)
Exchange effect		0.6

Accumulated amortization at March 31		(241.1	)

Net book amount at March 31	$	53.0

The amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $4.0 million (three months ended March 31, 2021 – $4.0 million).

NOTE 6 – PENSION AND POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

The Company maintains a defined benefit pension plan covering certain current and former employees in the United Kingdom (the “UK Plan”). The UK Plan is closed to future service accrual and has a large number of deferred and current pensioners.

The Company also maintains an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering certain current and former employees in Germany (the “German plan”). The German plan is closed to new entrants and has no assets.

The net periodic benefit of these plans is shown in the following table:


	Three Months Ended March 31
(in millions)	2022			2021
Service cost	$	(0.6	)	$	(0.4	)
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation		(2.8	)		(1.9	)
Expected return on plan assets		4.3			3.9
Amortization of prior service cost		(0.1	)		(0.1	)
Amortization of actuarial net losses		(0.1	)		(0.7	)

Net periodic benefit	$	0.7		$	0.8

The service cost has been recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses. All other items have been recognized within other income and expense. The amortization of prior service

cost

and actuarial net losses are a reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive loss into other income and expense.

In addition, we have obligations for post-employment benefits in some of our other European businesses. As at March 31, 2022, we have recorded a liability of $4.6 million (December 31, 2021 – $4.6 million).

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

A roll-forward of unrecognized tax benefits and associated accrued interest and penalties is as follows:


(in millions)	Unrecognized Tax Benefits			Interest and Penalties		Total
Opening balance at January 1, 2022	$	13.2		$	3.1	$	16.3
Net change for tax positions of prior periods		(0.1	)		0.1		—

Closing balance at March 31, 2022		13.1			3.2		16.3
Current		—			—		—

Non-current	$	13.1		$	3.2	$	16.3

All of the $16.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties would impact our effective tax rate if recognized.

In 2021 a

non-U.S.

subsidiary, Innospec Limited, entered into a review by the U.K. tax authorities under the U.K.’s Profit Diversion Compliance Facility (“PDCF”). The Company determined that additional tax and interest totaling $1.0 million may arise during the course of the PDCF review process which is currently ongoing.

non-U.S.

subsidiary, Innospec Performance Chemicals Italia Srl, is subject to an ongoing tax audit in relation to the period 2011 to 2014 inclusive. The Company has determined that additional tax, interest and penalties totaling $3.2 million may arise as a consequence of the tax audit. This includes a reduction for foreign exchange movements of $0.1 million recorded in the three months to March 31, 2022. As any additional tax arising as a consequence of the tax audit would be reimbursed by the previous owner under the terms of the sale and purchase agreement, an indemnification asset of the same amount is recorded in the financial statements to reflect this arrangement.

In 2018 the Company recorded an unrecognized tax benefit in relation to a potential adjustment that could arise as a consequence of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Act”), but for which retrospective adjustment to the filed 2017 U.S. federal income tax returns was not permissible. The Company has determined that additional tax, interest and penalties totaling $12.1 million may arise in relation to this item. This includes an increase in interest accrued of $0.1 million in the three months to March 31, 2022.

The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries remain open to examination by the IRS for certain elements of year 2017 and for years 2018 onwards under the statute of limitations. The Company’s subsidiaries in foreign tax jurisdictions are open to examination including the U.K. (2017 onwards), Switzerland (2017 onwards), Germany (2018 onwards), Spain (2018 onwards) and France (2019 onwards).

NOTE 8 – LONG-TERM DEBT

As at March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had not drawn down on its revolving credit facility.

The Company continues to have available a $250.0 million revolving credit facility until September 25, 2024. The facility contains an accordion feature whereby the Company may elect to increase the total available borrowings by an aggregate amount of up to $125.0 million.

The deferred finance costs of $0.9 million (December 31, 2021 - $1.0 million) related to the arrangement of the credit facility, are included within other current and

non-current

assets at the balance sheet dates.

NOTE 9 – PLANT CLOSURE PROVISIONS

The Company has continuing plans to remediate manufacturing facilities at sites around the world as and when those operations are expected to cease or we are required to decommission the sites according to local laws and regulations. The liability for estimated plant closure costs includes costs for environmental remediation liabilities and asset retirement obligations.

The principal site giving rise to asset retirement obligations is the manufacturing site at Ellesmere Port in the United Kingdom. There are also asset retirement obligations and environmental remediation liabilities on a much smaller scale in respect of other manufacturing sites.

Movements in the provisions are summarized as follows:


(in millions)	2022
Total at January 1	$	56.5
Charge for the period		0.9
Utilized in the period		(0.9	)
Exchange effect		(0.2	)

Total at March 31		56.3
Due within one year		(6.2	)

Due after one year	$	50.1

The charge for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $0.9 million (three months ended March 31, 2021 – $1.0 million). The current year charge represents the accounting accretion only, with no changes for the expected cost and scope of future remediation activities.

Amounts due within one year refer to provisions where expenditure is expected to arise within one year of the balance sheet date.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following table presents the carrying amount and fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis:


	March 31, 2022				December 31, 2021
(in millions)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Assets
Non-derivatives:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	105.6	$	105.6	$	141.8	$	141.8
Derivatives (Level 1 measurement):
Other current and non-current assets:
Emissions Trading Scheme credits		4.1		4.1		3.9		3.9

Liabilities
Non-derivatives:
Finance leases (including current portion)	$	—	$	—	$	0.1	$	0.1
Derivatives (Level 1 measurement):
Other current and non-current liabilities:
Foreign currency forward exchange contracts		1.0		1.0		1.2		1.2
Non-financial liabilities (Level 3 measurement):
Other current and non-current liabilities:
Stock equivalent units		21.7		21.7		17.3		17.3

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

Cash and cash equivalents:

The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturities of such instruments.

Emissions Trading Scheme credits:

The fair value is determined by the open market pricing at the end of the reporting period.

Derivatives:

The fair value of derivatives relating to foreign currency forward exchange contracts are derived from current settlement prices and comparable contracts using current assumptions. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts primarily relate to contracts entered into to hedge future known transactions or hedge balance sheet net cash positions. The movements in the carrying amounts and fair values of these contracts are largely due to changes in exchange rates against the U.S. dollar.

Finance leases:

Finance leases relate to certain fixed assets in our Fuel Specialties and Oilfield Services segments. The carrying amount of finance leases approximates to the fair value.

Stock equivalent units:

The fair values of stock equivalent units are calculated at each balance sheet date using either the Black-Scholes or Monte Carlo method depending on the terms of each grant.

Table of Contents

NOTE 11 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company enters into various foreign currency forward exchange contracts to minimize currency exchange rate exposure from expected future cash flows. As at March 31, 2022, the contracts have maturity dates of up to twelve months at the date of inception. These foreign currency forward exchange contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments, and their impact on the income statement for the first three months of 2022 was a gain of $0.8 million (first three months of 2021 – a gain of $1.3 million).

NOTE 12 – CONTINGENCIES

Legal matters

While we are involved from time to time in claims and legal proceedings that result from, and are incidental to, the conduct of our business including business and commercial litigation, employee and product liability claims, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or of which any of their property is subject. It is possible, however, that an adverse resolution of an unexpectedly large number of such individual claims or proceedings could in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the results of operations for a particular year or quarter.

Guarantees

The Company and certain of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries are contingently liable for certain obligations of affiliated companies primarily in the form of guarantees of debt and performance under contracts entered into as a normal business practice. This includes guarantees of

non-U.S.

excise taxes and customs duties. As at March 31, 2022, such guarantees which are not recognized as liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements amounted to $5.6 million (December 31, 2021 - $4.6 million). The remaining terms of the fixed maturity guarantees are up to 4 years and six months, with some further guarantees having no fixed expiry date.

Under the terms of the guarantee arrangements, generally the Company would be required to perform should the affiliated company fail to fulfil its obligations under the arrangements. In some cases, the guarantee arrangements have recourse provisions that would enable the Company to recover any payments made under the terms of the guarantees from securities held of the guaranteed parties’ assets.

The Company and its affiliates have numerous long-term sales and purchase commitments in their various business activities, which are expected to be fulfilled with no adverse consequences material to the Company.

NOTE 13 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The compensation cost recorded for stock options for the first three months of 2022 and 2021 was $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The compensation cost recorded for stock equivalent units for the first three months of 2022 and 2021 was $7.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the transactions of the Company’s share-based compensation plans for the three months ended March 31, 2022.


	Number of shares			Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested at December 31, 2021		680,711		$	74.6
Granted		164,205		$	87.5
Vested		(68,931	)	$	61.8
Forfeited		(56,762	)	$	70.9

Nonvested at March 31, 2022		719,223		$	79.0

New grants in the quarter have similar vesting conditions to those granted in previous periods. The valuation methodologies of the new grants are consistent with previous periods.

As of March 31, 2022, there was $33.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.96 years.

Higher sales volumes for the Americas were primarily driven by increased demand for our personal care products. Lower sales volumes for EMEA were due to reductions in demand compared to a strong comparative in the prior year. ASPAC delivered slightly higher sales volumes in a number of our markets. All our regions benefitted from a favorable price and product mix due to increased sales of higher priced products together with the impact of increased raw materials pricing being passed on through higher selling prices. EMEA and ASPAC were adversely impacted by exchange rate movements year over year, due to a weakening of the British pound sterling and the European Union euro against the U.S. dollar.

Gross margin:

the year over year decrease of 0.5 percentage points was primarily due to additional inventory provisions in the quarter.

Operating expenses:

the year over year increase of $2.4 million was due to higher selling expenses to support our increased sales, higher research and development costs and higher personnel-related expenses including higher performance related remuneration accruals.

The Americas and EMEA sales volumes have increased year over year as the global demand for refined fuel products has increased. ASPAC sales volumes were slightly lower year over year, primarily due to variations in the timing of demand. Price and product mix was favorable in all our regions due to increased sales of higher margin products and the impact of increased raw materials pricing being passed on through higher selling prices. AvGas volumes were higher than the prior year due to variations in the demand from customers, being partly offset by an adverse price and product mix with a higher proportion of sales to lower margin customers. EMEA and ASPAC were adversely impacted by exchange rate movements year over year, due to a weakening of the British pound sterling and the European Union euro against the U.S. dollar.

Table of Contents

Gross margin

: the year over year decrease of 0.6 percentage points was primarily due to the continued impact of the time lag for passing higher raw material costs through to selling prices.

Operating expenses:

the year over year increase of $4.1 million was due to higher selling expenses due to increased sales including higher provisions for doubtful debts, higher research and development costs and higher personnel-related expenses including higher share-based compensation accruals.

Oilfield Services

Net sales:

have increased year over year by $39.1 million, or 53 percent, with the majority of our customer activity continuing to be in the Americas region. Customer demand has increased for the first quarter of 2022, which is expected to continue as the crude oil price remains high.

Gross margin:

the year over year increase of 0.4 percentage points was due to a favorable sales mix year over year, while management continue to maintain prices in a competitive market.

Operating expenses:

the year over year increase of $12.0 million was driven by the flexibility of our customer service costs which are necessary to support the increase in demand, together with higher personnel-related expenses including higher share-based compensation accruals.

Other Income Statement Captions

Corporate costs:

the year over year increase of $3.9 million was primarily due to higher personnel-related expenses, including higher share-based compensation accruals and higher performance related remuneration accruals.

Other net income:

for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, included the following:

Interest expense, net:

was $0.4 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to $0.4 million in the first three months of 2021. Interest expense includes a commitment fee to retain the Company’s revolving credit facility for the term of the agreement.

Income taxes:

the effective tax rate was 24.3% and 24.0% in the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The adjusted effective tax rate, once adjusted for the items set out in the following table, was 24.3% in 2022 compared with 23.2% in 2021. The 1.1% increase in the adjusted effective rate was primarily due to the fact that a higher proportion of the Company’s profits are being generated in higher tax jurisdictions. The Company believes that this adjusted effective tax rate, a

non-GAAP

financial measure, provides useful information to investors and may assist them in evaluating the Company’s underlying performance and identifying operating trends. In addition, management uses this

non-GAAP

financial measure internally to evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations and for planning and forecasting in subsequent periods.

The following table shows a reconciliation of the GAAP effective tax rate to the adjusted effective tax rate:

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Working Capital

In the first three months of 2022 our working capital increased by $34.8 million, while our adjusted working capital increased by $79.9 million. The difference is primarily due to the exclusion of the decrease in our cash and cash equivalents and the changes to prepaid and accrued income taxes.

The Company believes that adjusted working capital, a

non-GAAP

financial measure, (defined by the Company as trade and other accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities rather than total current assets less total current liabilities) provides useful information to investors in evaluating the Company’s underlying performance and identifying operating trends. Management uses this

non-GAAP

financial measure internally to allocate resources and evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations. Items excluded from working capital in the adjusted working capital calculation are listed in the table below and represent factors which do not fluctuate in line with the day to day working capital needs of the business.


(in millions)	March 31, 2022			December 31, 2021

Add back current portion of operating lease liabilities		14.1			12.4

Adjusted working capital	$	344.8		$	264.9

We had a $53.2 million increase in trade and other accounts receivable driven by increased trading activity across all our reporting segments. Days’ sales outstanding decreased in our Performance Chemicals segment from 64 days to 63 days; increased from 53 days to 59 days in our Fuel Specialties segment; and increased from 52 days to 57 days in our Oilfield Services segment.

We had a $30.6 million increase in inventories, net of a $1.1 million increase in allowances, in anticipation of further increases in demand in 2022, while managing the risk of further supply chain disruption for certain key raw materials. Days’ sales in inventory decreased in our Performance Chemicals segment from 59 days to 56 days; increased from 108 days to 121 days in our Fuel Specialties segment; and decreased from 76 days to 65 days in our Oilfield Services segment.

Prepaid expenses decreased $0.8 million, from $18.0 million to $17.2 million due to the normal expensing of prepaid invoices.

We had a $3.1 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which was dependent on the timing of payments for each of our reporting segments. Creditor days (including goods received not invoiced) increased in our Performance Chemicals segment from 47 days to 51 days; decreased from 50 days to 43 days in our Fuel Specialties segment; and increased from 48 days to 54 days in our Oilfield Services segment.

Operating Cash Flows

We used cash for operating activities of $29.0 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to cash inflows of $22.7 million in the first three months of 2021. The reduction in cash generated from operating activities was principally related to the increase in working capital required to support the growth in sales.

Cash

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $105.6 million and $141.8 million, respectively, of which $32.7 million and $55.1 million, respectively, were held by

non-U.S.

subsidiaries principally in the United Kingdom.

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the first three months of 2022 of $36.2 million was driven by our increased working capital levels to support the growth in sales, together with our continued investments in capital projects.

Debt

At March 31, 2022, we had no debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $0.0 million of obligations under finance leases.

At December 31, 2021, we had no debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $0.1 million of obligations under finance leases relating to certain fixed assets within our Fuel Specialties and Oilfield Services segments.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company uses floating rate debt to finance its global operations. The Company is subject to business risks inherent in

non-U.S.

activities, including political and economic uncertainty, import and export limitations, and market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The political and economic risks are mitigated by the stability of the major countries in which the Company’s largest operations are located. Credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation and account monitoring procedures are used to minimize bad debt risk. Collateral is not generally required.

From time to time, the Company uses derivatives, including interest rate swaps, commodity swaps and foreign currency forward exchange contracts, in the normal course of business to manage market risks. The derivatives used in hedging activities are considered risk management tools and are not used for trading purposes. In addition, the Company enters into derivative instruments with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage the exposure to

non-performance

of such instruments. The Company’s objective in managing the exposure to changes in interest rates is to limit the impact of such changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. The Company’s objective in managing the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is to reduce volatility on earnings and cash flows associated with such changes.

The Company offers fixed prices for some long-term sales contracts. As manufacturing and raw material costs are subject to variability the Company, from time to time, uses commodity swaps to hedge the cost of some raw materials thus reducing volatility on earnings and cash flows. The derivatives are considered risk management tools and are not used for trading purposes. The Company’s objective is to manage its exposure to fluctuating costs of raw materials.

The Company’s exposure to market risk has been discussed in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form

10-K

and there have been no significant changes since that time.

Item 4 Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation carried out as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules

13a-15(e)

and

15d-15(e)

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective as of March 31, 2022, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company is continuously seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations and of its internal control over financial reporting. This is intended to result in refinements to processes throughout the Company.

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting which were identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules

13a-15

and

15d-15

under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 Legal Proceedings

Legal matters

While we are involved from time to time in claims and legal proceedings that result from, and are incidental to, the conduct of our business including business and commercial litigation, employee and product liability claims, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or of which any of their property is subject. It is possible, however, that an adverse resolution of an unexpectedly large number of such individual claims or proceedings could, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on results of operations for a particular year or quarter.

Item 1A Risk Factors

Information regarding risk factors that could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition are described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our 2021 Form

10-K.

In management’s view, there have been no material changes in the risk factors facing the Company since that time other than as follows:

Russian military invasion of the sovereign state of Ukraine.

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched an invasion into Ukraine which has the potential to affect our ability to obtain and import certain raw materials used to manufacture our products and our ability to export and sell our products in these countries. The ongoing conflict, and sanctions imposed upon Russia and Belarus, may impact on the Company’s sales, cost of procuring raw materials or distribution costs in future periods. The wider implications of the conflict may drive up the cost of energy and utilities used to operate our manufacturing plants, particularly in Europe. The fluidity and continuation of the conflict may result in additional economic sanctions and other impacts which could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. These include decreased sales; supply chain and logistics disruptions; volatility in foreign exchange rates and interest rates; inflationary pressures on raw materials and energy; and heightened cybersecurity threats.

Item 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

There have been no unregistered sales of equity securities.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company purchased its common stock as part of a recently announced share repurchase program and in connection with the exercising of stock options by employees.
