Letter from theChief Executive Officer

2025 was a defining year for Qnity, powered by strategic progress and delivery on our commitment to making tomorrow's technologies possible.

Dear Fellow Stockholders,

On behalf of the Qnity Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to invite you to our first Annual Meeting of Stockholders, since we completed our spin-off from DuPont and launched ourselves as a premier global solutions provider for the semiconductor value chain.

2025 was a defining year for Qnity, powered by strategic progress and delivery on our commitment to making tomorrow’s technologies possible. Our focus is clear: continue being the partner of choice to customers at every stage, from chip fabrication to advanced packaging and interconnects to thermal management.

Our inclusion in the S&P 500 further reflects Qnity’s winning strategy and differentiators, including the depth and breadth of our portfolio, our close collaboration with the world’s leading technology companies, and our global footprint powered by our long-standing local-for-local operating model.

In 2025, Qnity delivered solid financial performance, reflecting disciplined execution with strong organic growth across both of our business segments driven by our differentiated solutions for the industry’s most advanced technologies. Capital allocation remains central to our strategy. Our priorities are to reinvest in the business to support organic growth, maintain a strong balance sheet, and return excess capital to stockholders in a disciplined and balanced manner.

Strong governance underpins our success. Qnity’s governance framework emphasizes independent oversight, accountability, and alignment with stockholder interests. Our Board brings diverse experience and perspectives and remains actively engaged in overseeing strategy, risk management, and company leadership.

As we look ahead, we enter the next phase of Qnity’s journey with focus, momentum, and a clear strategic direction. With a broad portfolio, deep innovation and application engineering expertise, disciplined strategy, and strong governance, we are well positioned to continue building durable, long term value for our stockholders.

Sincerely,

Jon Kemp

Chief Executive Officer and Director

Key Executive Compensation Highlights

Before our Spin-off from DuPont on November 1, 2025 (Spin-off), our NEOs’ 2025 compensation was determined in accordance with DuPont’s compensation philosophy and program design. Only Mr. Kemp was an executive officer of DuPont; therefore, each element of his 2025 compensation prior to the Spin-off was established and approved by the DuPont People and Compensation Committee. The compensation elements for our other NEOs were determined by their respective managers in accordance with DuPont’s policies prior to the Spin-Off.

Following the Spin-Off, the Qnity People and Compensation Committee conducted a comprehensive review of each compensation element and evaluated the appropriate total compensation mix for our NEOs. As a result of this assessment, the Committee took actions to better align NEO compensation with Qnity’s philosophy and market comparisons as an independent company.

Key compensation decisions made before and after the Spin-Off are summarized below.

DuPont Decisions
Q1 2025•Approved NEO base salary and incentive target increases to recognize the expanded scope of responsibilities assumed during the transition period prior to completion of the Spin-Off.•Approved long-term incentive awards granted in February 2025.•Established the annual incentive compensation program applicable to our NEOs for the entirety of 2025, the "DuPont STIP", including its design and performance metrics.
Q2-3 2025•Determined the treatment of outstanding long-term incentive awards at the time of Spin-Off.
Q4 2025•Determined 2025 DuPont STIP achievement for periods prior to the Spin-Off for Qnity employees.
Spin-Off - November 1, 2025
Qnity Decisions
Q4 2025•Approved base salary and incentive target increases for each NEO reflecting their new role and alignment with market-competitive levels based on Qnity peer group and industry data.•Established stock ownership requirements to further strengthen the alignment of our executives’ financial interests with the long-term interests of our stockholders.•Approved one-time performance-based equity awards for executives, including our NEOs, designed to incentivize leadership to drive stockholder value creation during Qnity’s first three years as a stand-alone company.
Q1 2026•Approved the overall payout factor for the 2025 DuPont STIP, taking into consideration the performance results approved by DuPont for the period prior to the Spin-Off.•Approved the 2026 annual cash incentive design and performance metrics, the “Qnity Incentive Plan”, which is structured to drive key financial and strategic priorities.•Approved 2026 long-term incentive awards with majority delivered in the form of PSUs reflecting a focus on long-term enterprise value creation.
