In particular, ongoing geopolitical tensions and military conflicts in the Middle East, including the conflict involving Iran and the related restriction or cessatkey oil-producing region of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and the s, including potential for continued ddisruptions to Red Seamajor shipping routes, may adversely affect our operations. The ongoing restricDisruption or cessation of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, and the potential for continued disruptions in Red Sea shipping, hass to global shipping corridors have caused disruptions to the global chemicals and oil-derived goods markets, reducing supplies and availability worldwide, and resulting in increased prices.

These events may also cause shipping delays, rerouted freight, port congestion, or higher logistics and insurance costs, which could disrupt the movement of raw materials upon which our suppliers rely.
