Dear Valued Customers & Suppliers,

We hope this note finds you and your organization well. Marubeni Specialty Chemicals Inc. (MSCI) is closely monitoring the recent developments with respect to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and want you to know that we are doing all that we can to ensure our commitment to you is resolute. We are also complying with all government requirements to protect our workforce and reduce the spread of this virus and its potential adverse impact on business continuity.

Recently, the President issued updated Coronavirus Guidance for America. This strategic guidance, executed by the Department of Homeland Security, identified the country’s essential critical infrastructure industries. These industries have a special responsibility to continue operations during this time of emergency.

As such, MSCI has remained open and will continue to maintain operations while keeping the safety and health of our staff a top priority.

Sincerely,

Hidehiko Yoshida
