("Ashland") distributed to its stockholders on May 12, 2017, 170,000,000 shares of Valvoline Inc. ("Valvoline") common stock as a pro rata dividend. As previously reported, in connection with the separation of Ashland and Valvoline, half of Mr. Willis's LESOP account was transferred to Valvoline and was required by law to be sold over time beginning as early as November 30, 2017. Ashland has previously reported such amount of 444 shares as an indirect interest under a trust. Ashland was informed on January 4, 2018, that the trustee sold the Ashland LESOP shares held by Mr. Willis under the Valvoline 401(k) Plan on December 26, 2017 and Mr. Willis therefore no longer owns any Ashland shares in the Valvoline 401(k) Plan trust. ( 4 )Each Restricted Stock Unit represents a right to receive one (1) share of Ashland Common Stock. ( 5 )Grant of Restricted Stock Units, pursuant to Ashland's incentive plan as approved by the shareholders and exempt pursuant to Rule 16b-3.
