Olin Corporation (OLN) reports that its shareholders have approved key proposals to complete an all-stock merger of equals with Huntsman Corporation. At a virtual special meeting, holders of 95,428,141 shares of Olin common stock were present or represented by proxy out of 113,982,490 shares outstanding as of the record date, establishing a quorum.
Shareholders approved the Direct Merger Proposal to consummate the combination via a direct merger of Olin and Huntsman and the Subsidiary Merger Proposal, each involving the issuance of Olin common stock, as well as a non-binding advisory proposal on merger-related compensation for named executive officers. Because sufficient votes were obtained, a pre-positioned adjournment proposal was not needed.
A joint press release states that, based on preliminary results, approximately 97% of Olin votes cast, representing 81% of outstanding shares, and approximately 99% of Huntsman votes cast, representing 75% of outstanding shares, supported the transaction. Subject to required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, the combined company, to be known as OlinHuntsman Corporation, is expected to close the merger in the first half of 2027.
Olin Corporation reports on its pending merger of equals with Huntsman Corporation, for which a Form S‑4 registration statement is effective and joint proxy materials have been mailed ahead of both companies’ August 25, 2026 special meetings. The Olin board continues to unanimously recommend that shareholders vote “FOR” all Olin merger-related proposals.
Olin and Huntsman have been named in stockholder lawsuits and have received demand letters relating to disclosures in the joint proxy statement/prospectus. While the companies state they believe these challenges are without merit, Olin is voluntarily providing supplemental disclosure to reduce the risk of delay or added cost to the merger process.
The supplement adds detail on investment banks’ valuation work, including Lazard’s use of net debt of $2,804 million for Olin and $1,908 million for Huntsman and fully diluted share counts near 118 million and 178 million, respectively, as of mid‑2026. It expands Citi and Morgan Stanley analyses, specifying discount rates, perpetuity growth assumptions, projected dividends, and implied per‑share equity value ranges, and provides more granular Huntsman standalone projections and clarifies that no revenue synergy estimates were prepared.
Olin Corporation reported that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend. The Board approved a dividend of $0.20 per share on Olin common stock. The dividend is payable on September 11, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 27, 2026.

Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls sales fell to $819.5 million and segment earnings to $53.4 million, affected by lower volumes and an unplanned vinyl chloride monomer outage in Freeport that reduced adjusted EBITDA by about $40 million and is expected to impact the third quarter by about $20 million. Epoxy returned to profitability with $16.0 million of segment earnings on $422.1 million of sales. Winchester delivered $28.1 million of segment earnings on $500.3 million of sales, reflecting stronger commercial and military demand.
Management forecasts third quarter 2026 adjusted EBITDA between $160 million and $200 million. Olin ended June 30, 2026 with cash of $177.4 million, net debt of $2.85 billion, and a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 5.0 times, with approximately $1.2 billion of available liquidity. Results include $10.6 million of merger-related costs tied to a proposed all-stock merger of equals with Huntsman Corporation and cash payments of about $93 million in the first half to resolve legacy Shintech litigation, with roughly $100 million more expected in the second half.
Olin Corporation announced an all-stock merger of equals with Huntsman Corporation under a Merger Agreement unanimously approved by both boards. Each share of Huntsman common stock will convert into 0.5476 shares of Olin common stock, with the combined company to be renamed OlinHuntsman Corporation and headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas.
The deal can close via a direct merger or a two-step subsidiary structure, depending on which Olin shareholder approval threshold is achieved. Governance will be shared, with a 10‑member board split evenly between current Olin and Huntsman independent directors plus the two CEOs. Key executives from both companies will lead the combined business.
Closing is subject to Olin and Huntsman shareholder approvals, antitrust and other regulatory clearances, effectiveness of an S‑4 registration statement, and NYSE listing approval for the new Olin shares. The Merger Agreement includes mutual termination rights, a $121 million cash termination fee in specified circumstances, and up to $30 million of expense reimbursement if shareholder approval is not obtained. A separate Voting and Support Agreement commits Peter Huntsman and affiliated holders to support the transaction, including voting against competing takeover proposals.

Olin Corporation reported a weak first quarter 2026, swinging to a net loss of $83.0 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, from net income of $1.4 million, or $0.01 per share, a year earlier. Sales fell to $1,583.0 million from $1,644.2 million, while adjusted EBITDA dropped to $86.2 million from $185.6 million, reflecting softer performance across the portfolio and higher charges.
The Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls segment moved from earnings of $78.3 million to a $44.5 million loss, pressured by lower volumes and pricing, higher raw material and maintenance costs, and $36.1 million of legacy litigation costs. Epoxy narrowed its loss to $2.9 million on higher volumes and lower costs, and Winchester grew sales but saw earnings decline to $15.2 million due to higher input and operating costs.
Liquidity remained available but leverage increased: net debt was $2,803.9 million at March 31, 2026, and net debt to adjusted EBITDA rose to 5.1 times. Management forecast second quarter 2026 adjusted EBITDA between $160 million and $200 million and the Board declared a $0.20 quarterly dividend, marking the 398th consecutive quarterly payout.
