This presentation may contain certain "forward-looking statements," as defined under U.S. federal securities laws. These forward-looking

statements are based upon management's current expectations, estimates, assumptions and beliefs concerning future events and conditions.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily subject to risks,

uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company that could cause actual results to differ materially from such

statements and from the Company's historical results and experience. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include such things as: general

business and economic conditions; the Company's ability to successfully integrate past and future acquisitions into its existing operations, as well

as the performance of the businesses acquired; strengths of retail and manufacturing economies and the growth in the coatings industry; changes

in the Company's relationships with customers and suppliers; changes in raw material availability and pricing; adverse weather conditions or

impacts of climate change, natural disasters and public health crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic; the duration, severity and scope of the

COVID-19 pandemic and the actions implemented by international, federal, state and local public health and governmental authorities to contain

and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19, which may exacerbate one or more of the aforementioned and/or other risks, uncertainties and

factors more fully described in the Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); and other risks, uncertainties and

factors described from time to time in the Company's reports filed with the SEC. Since it is not possible to predict or identify all of the risks,

uncertainties and other factors that may affect future results, the above list should not be considered a complete list. Any forward-looking statement

speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking

statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
