Livent Corporation Executive Severance Guidelines for Designated Executives Background The intent of these severance guidelines (“Guidelines”) is to provide designated executives of Livent Corporation (the “Company”) with reasonable transition benefits in the event of a termination of employment without cause (other than in the context of a change in control, or as a result of death, disability or retirement). For this purpose, the term “designated executive” will have the same meaning as used in the Charter of the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”). This document is a guideline for the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and does not create any entitlement for designated executives. Any deviation from these Guidelines must be reviewed and approved by the Committee.
