Chlorine and caustic soda are obtained simultaneously in the same process from sodium chloride and electricity, in a fixed ratio of 1 ton of chlorine to 1.12 tons of caustic soda. This set is known as an electrolytic unit ("ECU"). The ECU margin is determined: by the sale price of the co-produced caustic soda and the profitability of the different applications of chlorine; by the price of electric energy, which represents around 45% of the production costs of the ECU; and by the cost of raw materials consumed in the production of chlorinated derivatives. Approximately 60% of the chlorine produced by Ercros is used to manufacture chlorine derivatives and the rest is supplied by pipeline to a customer. Division challenges In the short term: optimize the expansion of the capacity of the electrolysis plants by increasing the sales volume of caustic soda and chlorine derivatives. In the medium term: face the end of the contract with the chlorine client without suffering the profitability of the business. In the long term: assume the costs derived from the decarbonisation of the industry and increase the weight of products with higher added value and expanding markets. 2020 12 Chlorine-caustic soda process scheme 2020 13 Chlorine-caustic soda production scheme 2020 14 Production capacities Products Thousand t/year Applications EDC 349 VCM Manufacturing Sodium hypochlorite 347 Water treatment Caustic soda 242 Chemical industry Chlorine 217 Chemical industry VCM 200 PVC manufacturing PVC suspension 200 Construction Hydrochloric acid (35%) 172 Chemical industry Dicalcium phosphate 98 Animal feeding Caustic soda pearls 66 Chemical industry Caustic potash 47 Pharmaceutical industry Sodium chlorate 46 Paper bleaching Chloroisocyanurates (TCCA + DCCna) 28 Swimming pool purification PVC compounds 22 Construction Potassium carbonate 15 Chemical industry and pharmaceutical Potash scales 14 Pharmaceutical industry Ammonia 13 Chemical industry Peroxide 13 Chemical industry and pharmaceutical Potassium chlorate 10 Chemical industry Sodium chlorite 6 Water treatment 2020 15 Organizational structure Chlorine derivatives division Sales Innovation and technology Water treatment Planning and control Sales Basic chemicals Basic chemicals Planning and control Water treatment Italy + United Kingdom Marketing and + key accounts ROW1+NaClO Planning and control 2 Plastics East zone Germany+Portugal + Industrial ROW1 + Caustic soda pearls West zone Energy Comercial Sabiñánigo factory Plastics Flix factory PVC compounds PVC suspension Monzón factory and specialties Tarragona complex 2020 1 Row: rest of the world. 16 Division directory (I) Division director Francisco España Headquarters Avda.

Solid derivatives (paraformaldehyde, polyols and moulding compounds) account for 67% of the business's turnover, have a higher added value than liquids and their market is global. Division challenges In the short term: improve product margins and open markets. In the medium term: consolidate the new ranges of resins (ErcrosGreen+ and ErcrosTech), with better environmental and technological benefits. In the long term: maintain global leadership based on qualitative differentiation from competing products, mainly from Asian origin. 2020 20 Formaldehyde process scheme
