Other Events.

As previously announced, on December 16, 2016, Afton Chemical de México, S.A. de C.V., a sociedad anónima de capital variable organized under the laws of the United Mexican States (“Afton Mexico”) and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of NewMarket Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Share Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire approximately 99.5% of the outstanding capital stock (the “Acquisition”) of Aditivos Mexicanos, S.A. de C.V., a sociedad anónima de capital variable organized under the laws of the United Mexican States (“AMSA”). The Agreement was previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 19, 2016.

As of June 30, 2017, the parties amended the Agreement to account for the election by an additional AMSA shareholder to participate in the transaction, to revise certain ancillary agreements and to amend certain indemnification and working capital provisions to account for AMSA’s adoption of a new private pension plan as well as the retirement of certain AMSA executives.

On July 3, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the Acquisition. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
