	(1)		No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers listed in this press release. Such information is provided solely for the convenience of holders of the Notes.
	(2)		The consideration (the “Consideration”) payable per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the fixed spread specified in the table above, plus the yield to maturity of the U.S. Treasury Reference Security based on the bid-side price of the U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified above at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 10, 2025 (such date as it may be extended by Westlake, the “Price Determination Date”). The calculation of the Consideration may be performed to either the maturity date or the par call date for the Notes, as applicable, in accordance with standard market practice. The Consideration does not include accrued interest, which will be paid on the Notes accepted for purchase by Westlake as described herein.
	(3)		In addition to the Consideration, holders of Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offer, including Notes accepted pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer to Purchase (the “Guaranteed Delivery Procedures”), will also receive accrued interest to, but not including, the Settlement date (as defined below).

The tender offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 10, 2025, unless extended or terminated by Westlake (such time and date, as the same may be extended or terminated by Westlake in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law, the “Expiration Date”). Tendered Notes may be withdrawn at or prior to the Expiration Date by following the procedures in the Offer to Purchase, but may not thereafter be validly withdrawn, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Holders of Notes must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes, or submit a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and comply with the related procedures, prior to the Expiration Date in order to be eligible to receive the Consideration. Accrued and unpaid interest will be paid on all Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase, including pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures, from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the settlement date (the “Settlement Date”), which is expected to be on or about November 12, 2025. On the Price Determination Date, unless extended, Westlake will issue a press release specifying, among other things, the Consideration for the Notes validly tendered and accepted. Westlake expects to pay the Consideration plus accrued interest for all Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase (other than Notes tendered pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures) on the Settlement Date. For holders of Notes who deliver a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and all other required documentation at or prior to the Expiration Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase (including the Financing Condition and the General Conditions), the deadline to validly tender their Notes using the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures will be the second business day after the Expiration Date and is expected to be 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 13, 2025. Westlake expects to pay the Consideration plus accrued interest for all Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures on or about November 14, 2025, the third business day after the Expiration Date.

The purpose of the Offer is to extend the maturity of Westlake’s outstanding indebtedness. Westlake intends to fund the purchase of the Notes pursuant to the Offer with the net proceeds from a concurrent senior notes offering, and the Offer is conditioned upon the successful completion of such notes offering.

Additionally, Westlake and/or its affiliates may from time to time, after the consummation or termination of the Offer, purchase additional Notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise or Westlake may redeem Notes pursuant to their terms. There can be no assurance as to which, if any, of these alternatives (or combinations thereof) Westlake and/or its affiliates may choose to pursue in the future. This news release does not constitute a notice of redemption under the provisions of the indenture governing the Notes.
