Accounting Policies [Abstract]
ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Olin and all majority-owned subsidiaries. Investment in our affiliates are accounted for on the equity method. Accordingly, we include only our share of earnings or losses of these affiliates in consolidated net income (loss). Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts to conform to the 2021 presentation. Revenue Recognition We derive our revenues primarily from the manufacturing and delivery of goods to customers. Revenues are recognized on sales of goods at the time when control of those goods is transferred to our customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods. We primarily sell our goods directly to customers, and to a lesser extent, through distributors. Payment terms are typically 30 to 90 days from date of invoice. Our contracts do not typically have a significant financing component. Right to payment is determined at the point in time in which control has transferred to the customer. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good to the customer. At contract inception, we assess the goods promised in our contracts with customers and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good (or bundle of goods) that is distinct. A contract’s transaction price is based on the price stated in the contract and allocated to each distinct performance obligation and revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of our contracts have a single distinct performance obligation or multiple performance obligations which are distinct and represent individual promises within the contract. Substantially all of our performance obligations are satisfied at a single point in time, when control is transferred, which is generally upon shipment or delivery as stated in the contract terms. All taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with our revenue-producing transactions and collected from our customers are excluded from the measurement of the transaction price. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in revenue and are considered activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good. Allowances for estimated returns, discounts and rebates are considered variable consideration, which may be constrained, and are estimated and recognized when sales are recorded. The estimates are based on various market data, historical trends and information from customers. Actual returns, discounts and rebates have not been materially different from estimates. For all contracts that have a duration of one year or less at contract inception, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component. Substantially all of our revenue is derived from contracts with an original expected length of time of one year or less and for which we recognize revenue for the amount in which we have the right to invoice at the point in time in which control has transferred to the customer. However, a portion of our revenue is derived from long-term contracts which have contract periods that vary between one to multi-year. Certain of these contracts represent contracts with minimum purchase obligations, which can be substantially different than the actual revenue recognized. Such contracts consist of varying types of products across our chemical businesses. Certain contracts include variable volumes and/or variable pricing with pricing provisions tied to commodity, consumer price or other indices. The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations related to our contracts was excluded from the disclosure of our remaining performance obligations based on the following practical expedients that we elected to apply: (i) contracts with index-based pricing or variable volume attributes in which such variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation; and (ii) contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less. Cost of Goods Sold and Selling and Administration Expenses Cost of goods sold includes the costs of inventory sold, related purchasing, distribution and warehousing costs, costs incurred for shipping and handling, depreciation and amortization expense related to these activities and environmental remediation costs and recoveries. Selling and administration expenses include personnel costs associated with sales, marketing and administration, research and development, legal and legal-related costs, consulting and professional services fees, advertising expenses, depreciation expense related to these activities, foreign currency translation and other similar costs. Acquisition-related Costs Acquisition-related costs include advisory, legal, accounting and other professional fees incurred in connection with the purchase and integration of our acquisitions. Acquisition-related costs also may include costs which arise as a result of acquisitions, including contractual change in control provisions, contract termination costs, compensation payments related to the acquisition or pension and other postretirement benefit plan settlements. Other Operating Income (Expense) Other operating income (expense) consists of miscellaneous operating income items, which are related to our business activities, and gains (losses) on disposition of property, plant and equipment. Other operating income for the year ended December 31, 2021 included a $1.4 million gain on the sale of a terminal facility. Other operating income for the year ended December 31, 2020 included an $0.8 million gain on the sale of land. Other Income (Expense) Other income (expense) consists of non-operating income and expense items which are not related to our primary business activities. Foreign Currency Translation Our worldwide operations utilize the U.S. dollar (USD) or local currency as the functional currency, where applicable. For foreign entities where the USD is the functional currency, gains and losses resulting from balance sheet translations are included in selling and administration. For foreign entities where the local currency is the functional currency, assets and liabilities denominated in local currencies are translated into USD at end-of-period exchange rates and the resultant translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Assets and liabilities denominated in other than the local currency are remeasured into the local currency prior to translation into USD and the resultant exchange gains or losses are included in income in the period in which they occur. Income and expenses are translated into USD using an approximation of the average rate prevailing during the period. We change the functional currency of our separate and distinct foreign entities only when significant changes in economic facts and circumstances indicate clearly that the functional currency has changed. Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments, with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase, are considered to be cash equivalents. Short-Term Investments We classify our marketable securities as available-for-sale, which are reported at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of applicable taxes. The fair value of marketable securities is determined by quoted market prices. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments, as determined on the specific identification method, and declines in value of securities judged to be other-than-temporary are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. Interest and dividends on all securities are included in interest income and other income (expense), respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had no short-term investments recorded on our consolidated balance sheets. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable We evaluate the collectibility of financial instruments based on our current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial instrument. The only significant financial instrument which creates exposure to credit losses are customer accounts receivables. We measure credit losses on uncollected accounts receivable through an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable which is based on a combination of factors including both historical collection experience and reasonable estimates that affect the expected collectibility of the receivable. These factors include historical bad debt experience, industry conditions of the customer or group of customers, geographical region, credit ratings and general market conditions. We group receivables together for purposes of estimating credit losses when customers have similar risk characteristics; otherwise, the estimation is performed on the individual receivable. This estimate is periodically adjusted when we become aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filing) or as a result of changes in the overall aging of accounts receivable. While we have a large number of customers that operate in diverse businesses and are geographically dispersed, a general economic downturn in any of the industry segments in which we operate could result in higher than expected defaults, and, therefore, the need to revise estimates for the provision for doubtful accounts could occur. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. For U.S. inventories, inventory costs are determined principally by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of inventory accounting while for international inventories, inventory costs are determined principally by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory accounting. Costs for other inventories have been determined principally by the average-cost method (primarily operating supplies, spare parts and maintenance parts). Elements of costs in inventories include raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Interest costs incurred to finance expenditures for major long-term construction projects are capitalized as part of the historical cost and included in property, plant and equipment and are depreciated over the useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter. Start-up costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred while the costs of significant improvements, which extend the useful life of the underlying asset, are capitalized. Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when conditions indicate that the carrying values of the assets may not be recoverable. Such impairment conditions include an extended period of idleness or a plan of disposal. If such impairment indicators are present or other factors exist that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, we determine whether impairment has occurred through the use of an undiscounted cash flow analysis at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. For our Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls, Epoxy and Winchester segments, the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist is the operating facility level or an appropriate grouping of operating facilities level. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured by the difference between the net book value of the assets and the estimated fair value of the related assets. Leases In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02 “Leases,” (ASU 2016-02) which supersedes Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840 “Leases” and creates a new topic, ASC 842 “Leases” (ASC 842). Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-02, ASC 842 was amended by various updates that amend and clarify the impact and implementation of the aforementioned update. We adopted these updates on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method, which requires application of these updates beginning on the date of adoption with the cumulative effect of initially applying these updates recognized at the date of initial adoption. In addition, we elected the following practical expedients: • We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. • We elected the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing us to carry forward our accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements. • We elected the short-term practical expedient for all classes of lease assets, which allows us to not record leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet, and instead recognize the expense straight-line over the lease term. • We elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all asset classes. Adoption of these updates resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet of $291.9 million as of January 1, 2019. Our assets and liabilities for finance leases remained unchanged. We also recognized the cumulative effect of applying these updates as an adjustment to retained earnings of $11.2 million, net of tax, which was primarily related to the recognition of previously deferred sale/leaseback gains. Our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows, along with our compliance with all covenants and restrictions under all our outstanding credit agreements, were not impacted by this adoption. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. Our lease commitments are primarily for railcars, but also include logistics, manufacturing, storage, real estate and information technology assets. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; instead, we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We do not account for lease components (e.g., fixed payments to use the underlying lease asset) separately from the non-lease components (e.g., fixed payments for common-area maintenance costs and other items that transfer a good or service). Some of our leases include variable lease payments, which primarily result from changes in consumer price and other market-based indices, which are generally updated annually, and maintenance and usage charges. These variable payments are excluded from the calculation of our lease assets and liabilities. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to many years. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at our sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased asset. We do not include options to renew or purchase leased assets in the measurement of lease liabilities unless those options are highly certain of exercise. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. We have operating leases with terms that require us to guarantee a portion of the residual value of the leased assets upon termination of the lease as well as other guarantees. These residual value guarantees consist primarily of leases for railcars. Residual value guarantee payments that become probable and estimable are accrued as part of the lease liability and recognized over the remaining life of the applicable lease. Our current expectation is that the likelihood of material residual guarantee payments is remote. We utilize the interest rate implicit in the lease to determine the lease liability when the interest rate can be determined. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We estimate the incremental borrowing rate based on the geographic region for which we would borrow, on a secured basis of the lease asset, at an amount equal to the lease payments over a similar time period as the lease term. We have no additional restrictions or covenants imposed by our lease contracts. Asset Retirement Obligations We record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset as a liability in the period incurred. The liability is measured at discounted fair value and is adjusted to its present value in subsequent periods as accretion expense is recorded. The corresponding asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset and depreciated over the asset’s useful life. Asset retirement obligations are reviewed annually in the fourth quarter and/or when circumstances or other events indicate that changes underlying retirement assumptions may have occurred. The activities of our asset retirement obligations were as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 ($ in millions) Beginning balance $ 65.0 $ 63.7 Accretion 3.2 3.4 Spending (8.1) (4.1) Foreign currency translation adjustments — 0.1 Adjustments 10.1 1.9 Ending balance $ 70.2 $ 65.0 At December 31, 2021 and 2020, our consolidated balance sheets included an asset retirement obligation of $56.8 million and $47.0 million, respectively, which were classified as other noncurrent liabilities. In 2021 and 2020, we had net adjustments that increased the asset retirement obligation by $10.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, which were primarily comprised of increases in estimated costs for certain assets. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, pension and postretirement liability adjustments, pension and postretirement amortization of prior service costs and actuarial losses and net unrealized gains (losses) on derivative contracts. Goodwill Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and/or when circumstances or other events indicate that impairment may have occurred. ASC 350 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” (ASC 350) permits entities to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the goodwill impairment test. Circumstances that are considered as part of the qualitative assessment and could trigger a quantitative impairment test include, but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in the business climate; a significant adverse legal judgment; adverse cash flow trends; an adverse action or assessment by a government agency; unanticipated competition; sustained decline in our stock price; and a significant restructuring charge within a reporting unit. We define reporting units at the business segment level or one level below the business segment level. For purposes of testing goodwill for impairment, goodwill has been allocated to our reporting units to the extent it relates to each reporting unit. It is our practice, at a minimum, to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter every three years. We use a discounted cash flow approach to develop the estimated fair value of a reporting unit when a quantitative test is performed. Management judgment is required in developing the assumptions for the discounted cash flow model. We also corroborate our discounted cash flow analysis by evaluating a market-based approach that considers earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) multiples from a representative sample of comparable public companies. As a further indicator that each reporting unit has been valued appropriately using a discounted cash flow model, the aggregate fair value of all reporting units is reconciled to the total market value of Olin. An impairment would be recorded if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeded the estimated fair value. See Note 10 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for additional information. Intangible Assets In conjunction with our acquisitions, we have obtained access to the customer contracts and relationships, trade names, acquired technology and other intellectual property of the acquired companies. These relationships are expected to provide economic benefit for future periods. Amortization expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the related assets. The amortization period of customer contracts and relationships, trade names, acquired technology and other intellectual property represents our best estimate of the expected usage or consumption of the economic benefits of the acquired assets, which is based on the company’s historical experience. Intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment when conditions indicate that the carrying values of the assets may not be recoverable. Circumstances that are considered as part of the qualitative assessment and could trigger a quantitative impairment test include, but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in the business climate; a significant adverse legal judgment including asset specific factors; adverse cash flow trends; an adverse action or assessment by a government agency; unanticipated competition; sustained decline in our stock price; and a significant restructuring charge within a reporting unit. Based upon our qualitative assessment, it is more likely than not that the fair value of our intangible assets are greater than the carrying amount as of December 31, 2021. No impairment of our intangible assets were recorded in 2021, 2020 or 2019. Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures Accruals (charges to income) for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based upon current law and existing technologies. These amounts, which are not discounted and are exclusive of claims against third parties, are adjusted periodically as assessment and remediation efforts progress or additional technical or legal information becomes available. Environmental costs are capitalized if the costs increase the value of the property and/or mitigate or prevent contamination from future operations. Income Taxes Deferred taxes are provided for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to offset deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the value of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Derivative Financial Instruments We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of our business operations due to our purchases of certain commodities, our ongoing investing and financing activities and our operations that use foreign currencies. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. We have established policies and procedures governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage exposure to such risks. We use hedge accounting treatment for a significant amount of our business transactions whose risks are covered using derivative instruments. The hedge accounting treatment provides for the deferral of gains or losses on derivative instruments until such time as the related transactions occur. Concentration of Credit Risk Accounts receivable is the principal financial instrument which subjects us to a concentration of credit risk. Credit is extended based upon the evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are somewhat limited due to our large number of customers, the diversity of these customers’ businesses and the geographic dispersion of such customers. Our accounts receivable are predominantly derived from sales denominated in USD or the Euro. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectibility of all trade receivables. Fair Value Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties or the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (ASC 820), and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows: Level 1 — Inputs were unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2 — Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) were either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life. Level 3 — Inputs reflected management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration was given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Retirement-Related Benefits We account for our defined benefit pension plans and non-pension postretirement benefit plans using actuarial models required by ASC 715 “Compensation—Retirement Benefits” (ASC 715). These models use an attribution approach that generally spreads the financial impact of changes to the plan and actuarial assumptions over the average remaining service lives of the employees in the plan. Changes in liability due to changes in actuarial assumptions such as discount rate, rate of compensation increases and mortality, as well as annual deviations between what was assumed and what was experienced by the plan are treated as actuarial gains or losses. The principle underlying the required attribution approach is that employees render service over their average remaining service lives on a relatively smooth basis and, therefore, the accounting for benefits earned under the pension or non-pension postretirement benefits plans should follow the same relatively smooth pattern. Substantially all domestic defined benefit pension plan participants are no longer accruing benefits; therefore, actuarial gains and losses are amortized based upon the remaining life expectancy of the inactive plan participants. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants in the domestic defined benefit pension plan were 17 years and 18 years, respectively. One of the key assumptions for the net periodic pension calculation is the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, used to determine the “market-related value of assets.” The “market-related value of assets” recognizes differences between the plan’s actual return and expected return over a five year period. The required use of an expected long-term rate of return on the market-related value of plan assets may result in recognized pension income that is greater or less than the actual returns of those plan assets in any given year. Over time, however, the expected long-term returns are designed to approximate the actual long-term returns and, therefore, result in a pattern of income and expense recognition that more closely matches the pattern of the services provided by the employees. As differences between actual and expected returns are recognized over five years, they subsequently generate gains and losses that are subject to amortization over the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive plan participants, as described in the preceding paragraph. We use long-term historical actual return information, the mix of investments that comprise plan assets, and future estimates of long-term investment returns and inflation by reference to external sources to develop the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets as of December 31. The discount rate assumptions used for pension and non-pension postretirement benefit plan accounting reflect the rates available on high-quality fixed-income debt instruments on December 31 of each year. The rate of compensation increase is based upon our long-term plans for such increases. For retiree medical plan accounting, we review external data and our own historical trends for healthcare costs to determine the healthcare cost trend rates. For our defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, we measure service and interest costs by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve to the plans’ estimated cash flows. We believe this approach provides a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by aligning the timing of the plans’ liability cash flows to the corresponding spot rates on the yield curve. Stock-Based Compensation We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, such as stock options, performance shares and restricted stock, based on the grant-date fair value of the award. This cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). An initial measurement is made of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of liability instruments based on its current fair value and the value of that award is subsequently remeasured at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value of liability awards during the requisite service period are recognized as compensation cost over that period. The fair value of each option granted, which typically vests ratably over three years, but not less than one year, was estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: 2021 2020 2019 Dividend yield 2.76 % 4.60 % 3.05 % Risk-free interest rate 0.94 % 1.44 % 2.51 % Expected volatility 44 % 36 % 34 % Expected life (years) 6.0 6.0 6.0 Weighted-average grant fair value (per option) $ 9.91 $ 3.64 $ 6.76 Weighted-average exercise price $ 28.99 $ 17.33 $ 26.26 Shares granted 1,154,700 2,663,100 1,578,200 Dividend yield was based on our current dividend yield as of the option grant date. Risk-free interest rate was based on zero coupon U.S. Treasury securities rates for the expected life of the options. Expected volatility was based on our historical stock price movements, as we believe that historical experience is the best available indicator of the expected volatility. Expected life of the option grant was based on historical exercise and cancellation patterns, as w

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	NOTE 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (ASU 2020-04) which creates a new topic, ASC 848 “Reference Rate Reform” (ASC 848). Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2020-04, ASC 848 was amended by ASU 2021-01, “Scope” which amended and clarified the application and scope aforementioned update. This update provides optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transition away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued at the end of 2021, at which time financial institutions will no longer be required to report information that is currently used to determine the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other reference rates. This update allows companies to treat contract amendments to existing contracts for the purpose of establishing a new reference rate as continuations of those contracts without additional analysis, as long as the modification was made to establish a new reference rate. This update applies prospectively to contract modifications. The optional guidance was effective on March 12, 2020 and can be adopted beginning January 1, 2020 or any date thereafter until December 31, 2022, at which time the optional guidance can no longer be applied to contract amendments to existing contracts. We adopted the provisions of this update on January 1, 2020 and will apply this guidance prospectively to contract modifications that are entered into for the purpose of establishing a new reference rate. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
RESTRUCTURING CHARGES	NOTE 4. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES Olin committed to a productivity initiative to align the organization with our new operating model and improve efficiencies (collectively, Productivity Plan). These actions and related activities were completed during the second quarter of 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded pretax restructuring charges of $10.3 million for employee severance and related benefit costs related to these actions. We do not expect to incur additional restructuring charges related to these actions. May 18, 2021, we announced that we had made the decision to permanently close approximately 20% of our diaphragm-grade chlor alkali capacity, representing 225,000 tons, at our Plaquemine, LA facility (Plaquemine Plan). The closure was completed in the second quarter of 2021. We do not expect to incur restructuring charges related to these actions. On March 15, 2021, we announced that we had made the decision to permanently close approximately 50% of our diaphragm-grade chlor alkali capacity, representing 200,000 tons, at our McIntosh, AL facility. The closure was completed in the first quarter of 2021. On October 21, 2021, we announced that we had made a decision to permanently cease operations of the remaining 50% of our diaphragm-grade chlor alkali capacity, representing an additional 200,000 tons, at our McIntosh, AL facility (collectively, McIntosh Plan). The closure is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded pretax restructuring charges of $5.6 million for lease and other contract termination costs related to these actions. We expect to incur additional restructuring charges through 2026 of approximately $35 million related to these actions. On January 18, 2021, we announced we had made the decision to permanently close our trichloroethylene and anhydrous hydrogen chloride liquefaction facilities in Freeport, TX (collectively, Freeport 2021 Plan), which were completed in the fourth quarter of 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded pretax restructuring charges of $6.5 million for facility exit costs related to these actions. We expect to incur additional restructuring charges through 2024 of approximately $20 million related to these actions. On December 11, 2019, we announced that we had made the decision to permanently close a chlor alkali plant with a capacity of 230,000 tons and our VDC production facility, both in Freeport, TX (collectively, Freeport 2019 Plan). The VDC facility and related chlor alkali plant were closed during the fourth quarter of 2020 and second quarter of 2021, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded pretax restructuring charges of $3.9 million for facility exit costs and employee severance and related benefit costs related to these actions. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded pretax restructuring charges of $3.8 million for non-cash impairment of equipment and facilities related to these actions. We expect to incur additional restructuring charges through 2025 of approximately $40 million related to these actions. On December 10, 2018, we announced that we had made the decision to permanently close the ammunition assembly operations at our Winchester facility in Geelong, Australia. Subsequent to the facility’s closure, products for customers in the region are sourced from Winchester manufacturing facilities located in the United States. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we recorded pretax restructuring charges of $0.4 million for the write-off of equipment and facility costs, employee severance and related benefit costs, lease and other contract termination costs and facility exit costs related to this action. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we also recorded additional pretax restructuring charges of $1.4 million for employee severance and related benefit costs related to our Winchester operations. On March 21, 2016, we announced that we had made the decision to close a combined total of 433,000 tons of chlor alkali capacity across three separate locations (collectively, Chlor Alkali 2016 Plan). Associated with this action, we have permanently closed our Henderson, NV chlor alkali plant with 153,000 tons of capacity and have reconfigured the site to manufacture bleach and distribute caustic soda and hydrochloric acid. Also, the capacity of our Niagara Falls, NY chlor alkali plant has been reduced from 300,000 tons to 240,000 tons and the chlor alkali capacity at our Freeport, TX facility was reduced by 220,000 tons. This 220,000 ton reduction was entirely from diaphragm cell capacity. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we recorded pretax restructuring charges of $1.6 million, $5.2 million and $15.8 million, respectively, for the lease and other contract termination costs, employee severance and related benefit costs and facility exit costs related to these actions. We expect to incur additional restructuring charges through 2022 of approximately $1 million related to these capacity reductions. The following table summarizes the 2021, 2020 and 2019 activities by major component of these restructuring actions and the remaining balances of accrued restructuring costs as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019: Employee severance and related benefit costs Lease and other contract termination costs Facility exit costs Write-off of equipment and facility Total ($ in millions) Balance at January 1, 2019 $ 1.5 $ 6.0 $ 0.7 $ — $ 8.2 Restructuring charges 2.1 0.9 14.6 58.9 76.5 Amounts utilized (3.6) (3.8) (15.3) (58.9) (81.6) Balance at December 31, 2019 — 3.1 — — 3.1 Restructuring charges 2.2 1.4 5.4 — 9.0 Amounts utilized (0.4) (2.8) (5.4) — (8.6) Balance at December 31, 2020 1.8 1.7 — — 3.5 Restructuring charges 10.3 6.0 11.6 — 27.9 Amounts utilized (5.2) (2.3) (11.6) — (19.1) Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 6.9 $ 5.4 $ — $ — $ 12.3 The following table summarizes the cumulative restructuring charges of these restructuring actions by major component through December 31, 2021: Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls Corporate/other Total McIntosh Plan Freeport 2021 Plan Freeport 2019 Plan Chlor Alkali 2016 Plan Productivity Plan ($ in millions) Write-off of equipment and facility $ — $ — $ 58.9 $ 78.1 $ — $ 137.0 Employee severance and related benefit costs — — 2.1 6.7 10.3 19.1 Facility exit costs — 6.5 5.6 53.1 — 65.2 Employee relocation costs — — — 1.7 — 1.7 Lease and other contract termination costs 5.6 — — 42.7 — 48.3 Total cumulative restructuring charges $ 5.6 $ 6.5 $ 66.6 $ 182.3 $ 10.3 $ 271.3 As of December 31, 2021, we have incurred cash expenditures of $120.9 million and non-cash charges of $138.1 million related to these restructuring actions.

Receivables [Abstract]
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES	NOTE 6. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES During 2021, we amended our existing $250.0 million Receivables Financing Agreement which expanded the borrowing capacity to $300.0 million (Receivables Financing Agreement) and extended the maturity to September 24, 2024. The Receivables Financing Agreement includes a minimum borrowing requirement of 50% of the facility limit or available borrowing capacity, whichever is less. The administrative agent for our Receivables Financing Agreement is PNC Bank, National Association. Under the Receivables Financing Agreement, our eligible trade receivables are used for collateralized borrowings and continue to be serviced by us. In addition, the Receivables Financing Agreement incorporates the net leverage ratio covenant that is contained in the $1,615.0 million senior credit facility. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had $300.0 million and $125.0 million, respectively, drawn under the agreement. As of December 31, 2021, $556.2 million of our trade receivables were pledged as collateral and we had no additional borrowing capacity under the Receivables Financing Agreement. Olin also has trade accounts receivable factoring arrangements (AR Facilities) and pursuant to the terms of the AR Facilities, certain of our domestic subsidiaries may sell their accounts receivable up to a maximum of $250.0 million and certain of our foreign subsidiaries may sell their accounts receivable up to a maximum of €43.4 million. We will continue to service the outstanding accounts sold. These receivables qualify for sales treatment under ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing” and, accordingly, the proceeds are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The following table summarizes the AR Facilities activity: December 31, 2021 2020 ($ in millions) Beginning Balance $ 48.8 $ 63.1 Gross receivables sold 673.4 854.3 Payments received from customers on sold accounts (656.5) (868.6) Ending Balance $ 65.7 $ 48.8 The factoring discount paid under the AR Facilities is recorded as interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. The factoring discount for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $1.1 million, $1.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The agreements are without recourse and therefore no recourse liability has been recorded as of December 31, 2021. Our consolidated balance sheets included an allowance for doubtful accounts receivables of $12.3 million, $12.3 million and $11.9 million and other receivables of $65.3 million, $62.4 million and $87.4 million at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which were included in receivables, net.

A payment of $461.0 million was made during the second quarter of 2020 associated with a previously executed option to reserve additional ethylene at producer economics. The original liability was discounted and recorded at present value as of March 31, 2017. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, $4.0 million and $17.0 million, respectively, of interest expense was recorded for accretion of the 2020 payment liability discount. During the year ended December 31, 2020, a payment of $75.8 million was made associated with the resolution of a dispute over the allocation to Olin of certain capital costs incurred at our Plaquemine, LA site. The weighted-average useful life of long-term supply contracts at December 31, 2021 was 20 years. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, amortization expense of $69.4 million, $56.0 million and $39.9 million, respectively, was recognized within cost of goods sold related to our supply contracts and is reflected in depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of cash flows. We estimate that amortization expense will be approximately $70 million in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 related to our long-term supply contracts. The long-term supply contracts are monitored for impairment each reporting period. On January 1, 2019, we sold our 9.1% limited partnership interest in Bay Gas Storage Company, Ltd. (Bay Gas) for $20.0 million. The sale closed on February 7, 2019 which resulted in a gain of $11.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 which was recorded to other income in the consolidated statements of operations.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS	NOTE 10. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Changes in the carrying value of goodwill were as follows: Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls Epoxy Total ($ in millions) Balance at January 1, 2020 $ 1,832.7 $ 287.0 $ 2,119.7 Goodwill impairment (557.6) (142.2) (699.8) Foreign currency translation adjustment 0.2 0.1 0.3 Balance at December 31, 2020 1,275.3 144.9 1,420.2 Foreign currency translation adjustment 0.3 0.1 0.4 Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 1,275.6 $ 145.0 $ 1,420.6 During the fourth quarter of 2021, we performed our qualitative assessment of goodwill. Based upon our qualitative assessment, it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units are greater than their carrying amounts as of December 31, 2021. No impairment charges were recorded for 2021. During the first quarter of 2020, our market capitalization declined significantly compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Over the same period, the equity value of our peer group companies and the overall U.S. stock market also declined significantly amid market volatility. These declines were driven by the uncertainty surrounding the outbreak of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic and other macroeconomic events impacting the various industries in which Olin and our peers participate. Additionally, the various governmental, business and consumer responses to the pandemic were expected to have a negative impact on the near-term demand for several of the products produced by our Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls and Epoxy businesses. The full extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 on our operations and financial performance was unknown at the time. As a result of these events, we identified triggering events associated with a significant overall decrease in our stock price, a significant adverse change in the business climate and a significant reduction in near-term cash flow projections and performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test during the first quarter of 2020. We used a discounted cash flow approach to develop the estimated fair value of our reporting units. Based on the aforementioned analysis, the estimated fair value of our reporting units exceeded the carrying value of the reporting units and no impairment charges were recorded. Throughout the second and third quarters of 2020, the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated response had caused significant disruptions in the U.S. and global economies, resulting in the disruption of the supply and demand fundamentals of our Chemicals businesses. The various governmental, business and consumer responses to the pandemic continued to negatively impact the demand for several of the products produced by our Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls and Epoxy businesses resulting in lower volumes and pricing during 2020 compared to 2019. Due to these factors, the triggering events identified in the first quarter associated with a significant adverse change in the business climate and a significant adverse reduction in near-term cash flow projections had persisted during 2020. Throughout the second and third quarters of 2020, the equity value of our peer group companies and the overall U.S. stock market improved significantly while Olin’s stock price remained low. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we identified a triggering event associated with a sustained significant overall decrease in our stock price. As a result, we performed an updated quantitative goodwill impairment test during the third quarter of 2020. We used a discounted cash flow approach to develop the estimated fair value of our reporting units. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates and market factors. The discount rate, profitability assumptions and terminal growth rate of our reporting units and the supply and demand fundamentals of the chlor alkali industry were the material assumptions utilized in the discounted cash flow model used to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit. The discount rate reflects a weighted-average cost of capital, which is calculated, in part based on observable market data. Some of this data (such as the risk free or treasury rate and the pretax cost of debt) are based on the market data at a point in time. Other data (such as the equity risk premium) are based upon market data over time for a peer group of companies in the chemical manufacturing or distribution industries with a market capitalization premium added, as applicable. Also factoring into the discount rate was a market participant’s perceived risk (such as the company specific risk premium) in the valuation implied by the sustained reduction in our stock price. The discounted cash flow analysis requires estimates, assumptions and judgments about future events. Our analysis uses our internally generated long-range plan. Specifically, the assumptions in our long-range plan about terminal growth rates, forecasted capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements are used to determine the implied fair value of each reporting unit. The long-range plan reflects management judgment, supplemented by independent chemical industry analyses which provide multi-year industry operating and pricing forecasts. As a further indicator that each reporting unit has been valued appropriately using a discounted cash flow model, the aggregate fair value of all reporting units is reconciled to the total market value of Olin. Due to the sustained decline in our stock price, the decrease in the value of our reporting units reflects a market participant’s perceived risk in the valuation implied by the sustained reduction in our stock price. As a result of this assessment, the carrying values of our Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls and Epoxy reporting units exceeded the fair values which resulted in pre-tax goodwill impairment charges of $557.6 million and $142.2 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020. The goodwill impairment charge was calculated as the amount that the carrying value of the reporting unit, including any goodwill, exceeded its fair value and therefore the carrying value of our reporting units equaled their fair value upon completion of the goodwill impairment test. We believe the assumptions used in our goodwill impairment analysis are appropriate and result in reasonable estimates of the implied fair value of each reporting unit. However, given the economic environment and the uncertainties regarding the impact on our business, there can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions, made for purposes of our goodwill impairment testing, will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. If our assumptions regarding future performance are not achieved, or if our stock price experiences further sustained declines, we may be required to record additional goodwill impairment charges in future periods. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such charge would be material. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we performed our triennial quantitative goodwill impairment test for our reporting units. Based on the analysis, the estimated fair value of our reporting units exceeded the carrying value of the reporting units. No impairment charges were recorded for 2019. Intangible assets consisted of the following: December 31, 2021 2020 Useful Lives Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Net ($ in millions) Customers, customer contracts and relationships 10-15 Years $ 674.4 $ (359.8) $ 314.6 $ 681.0 $ (312.5) $ 368.5 Acquired technology 5-7 Years 93.9 (77.9) 16.0 95.0 (65.3) 29.7 Other 10 Years 1.8 (0.7) 1.1 1.8 (0.6) 1.2 Total intangible assets $ 770.1 $ (438.4) $ 331.7 $ 777.8 $ (378.4) $ 399.4 Amortization expense relating to intangible assets was $63.1 million, $62.9 million and $62.8 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We estimate that amortization expense will be approximately $55 million in 2022, approximately $37 million in both 2023 and 2024, approximately $36 million in 2025 and approximately $35 million in 2026.

On July 28, 2021, the liens on the collateral provided under the Senior Credit Facility were released based on the achievement of a net leverage ratio below 3.50 for the prior two consecutive fiscal quarters. The Senior Credit Facility includes a senior delayed-draw term loan facility with aggregate commitments of $315.0 million (2021 Delayed Draw Term Loan), a senior term loan facility with aggregate commitments of $500.0 million (2020 Term Loan and together with the 2021 Delayed Draw Term Loan, the Senior Term Loans) and a senior revolving credit facility with aggregate commitments in an amount equal to $800.0 million (Senior Revolving Credit Facility). The maturity date for the Senior Credit Facility is July 16, 2024. The amendment modified the pricing grid for the Senior Credit Facility by reducing applicable interest rates on the borrowings under the facility. On March 30, 2021, Olin drew the entire $315.0 million of the 2021 Delayed Draw Term Loan and used the proceeds to fund the redemption of the 10.00% senior notes due October 15, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we repaid $465.0 million of the Senior Term Loans. These repayments satisfied all future required quarterly installments of the Senior Term Loans. The Senior Revolving Credit Facility includes a $100.0 million letter of credit subfacility. At December 31, 2021, we had $799.6 million available under our $800.0 million Senior Revolving Credit Facility because we had issued $0.4 million of letters of credit. On May 8, 2020, we entered into a $1,300.0 million senior secured credit facility (Senior Secured Credit Facility) that amended our then existing five-year, $2,000.0 million senior credit facility. The Senior Secured Credit Facility included a senior secured delayed-draw term loan facility with aggregate commitments of $500.0 million (2020 Delayed Draw Term Loan) and a senior secured revolving credit facility with aggregate commitments in an amount equal to $800.0 million (Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility). The maturity date for the Senior Secured Credit Facility was July 16, 2024. The amendment modified the financial covenants of the Senior Secured Credit Facility to be less restrictive and expanded the permitted use of proceeds of the 2020 Delayed Draw Term Loan to include general corporate purposes. The amendment also required that the obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility be guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries, which were also guarantors of Olin’s outstanding notes, with the exception of the $200.0 million senior notes due 2022. The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility were also secured by liens on substantially all of Olin’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ personal property (Collateral), other than certain principal properties and capital stock of subsidiaries, and subject to certain other exceptions. The amendment provided that substantially all guarantees under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and liens on the Collateral could be released when our net leverage ratio was below 3.50 to 1.00 for two consecutive fiscal quarters. On October 15, 2020, Olin drew the entire $500.0 million of the 2020 Delayed Draw Term Loan. The 2020 Delayed Draw Term Loan included principal amortization amounts payable beginning the quarter ending after the facility was fully drawn at a rate of 5.0% per annum for the first two years, increasing to 7.5% per annum for the following year and to 10.0% per annum for the last two years. Under the Senior Credit Facility, we may select various floating-rate borrowing options. The actual interest rate paid on borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility is based on a pricing grid which is dependent upon the net leverage ratio as calculated under the terms of the applicable facility for the prior fiscal quarter. The Senior Credit Facility includes various customary restrictive covenants, including restrictions related to the ratio of debt to earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (net leverage ratio) and the ratio of earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization to interest expense (coverage ratio). The calculation of debt in our net leverage ratio excludes borrowings under the Receivables Financing Agreement, up to a maximum of $250.0 million, and is reduced by all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. Compliance with these covenants is determined quarterly. We were in compliance with all covenants and restrictions under all our outstanding credit agreements as of December 31, 2021, and no event of default had occurred that would permit the lenders under our outstanding credit agreements to accelerate the debt if not cured. In the future, our ability to generate sufficient operating cash flows, among other factors, will determine the amounts available to be borrowed under these facilities. As a result of our restrictive covenant related to the net leverage ratio, the maximum additional borrowings available to us could be limited in the future. The limitation, if an amendment or waiver from our lenders is not obtained, could restrict our ability to borrow the maximum amounts available under the Senior Revolving Credit Facility and the Receivables Financing Agreement. As of December 31, 2021, there were no covenants or other restrictions that limited our ability to borrow. Senior Notes and Other Financing During 2021 and 2020, activity of our outstanding debt included: Long-term Debt Borrowings (Repayments) Loss on Debt Extinguishment (1) Long-term Debt Borrowings (Repayments) Loss on Debt Extinguishment (1) Year Ended Year Ended Debt Instrument ($ in millions) Borrowings: Senior Term Loans $ 315.0 $ 675.0 Receivables Financing Agreement 225.0 655.0 9.50% senior notes due 2025 — 497.5 Total borrowings $ 540.0 $ 1,827.5 Repayments: 10.00% senior notes due 2025 $ (500.0) $ 30.9 $ — $ — 9.50% senior notes due 2025 (391.4) 103.8 — — 9.75% senior notes due 2023 (120.0) 3.7 (600.0) 20.4 5.625% senior notes due 2029 (80.7) 9.0 — — 5.00% senior notes due 2030 (34.7) 2.8 — — Senior Term Loans (465.0) 2.0 (175.0) — Receivables Financing Agreement (50.0) — (530.0) — Finance leases (1.3) — (2.2) — Total repayments $ (1,643.1) $ 152.2 $ (1,307.2) $ 20.4 Long-term debt (repayments) borrowings, net $ (1,103.1) $ 520.3 (1) Loss on debt extinguishment is included as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The loss includes the payment of bond redemption premiums of $137.7 million and $14.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as well as the write-off of deferred debt issuance costs, write-off of bond original issue discount and recognition of deferred fair value interest rate swap losses of $14.5 million and $5.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, associated with the optional prepayment of existing debt. The cash payments related to the early redemption premiums for the debt extinguishments are classified as cash outflows from financing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows for year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 reflects the correction of previously presented early redemption premiums, which increased cash flows from net operating activities and decreased cash flows from net financing activities by $14.6 million. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we completed a cash tender offer to purchase a principal amount of $391.4 million of the outstanding 9.50% Senior Notes due 2025 (2025 Notes). This action resulted in total redemption premiums of $99.4 million. The 2025 Notes were redeemed by drawing $150.0 million of the Receivables Financing Agreement along with utilizing cash on hand. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we repurchased, through open market transactions, a principal amount of $80.7 million of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior notes due August 1, 2029 (2029 Notes) and $34.7 million of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of 5.00% senior notes due February 1, 2030 (2030 Notes). These actions resulted in total redemption premiums of $10.4 million. On March 31, 2021, Olin redeemed $315.0 million of the outstanding 10.00% senior notes due October 15, 2025 (Blue Cube 2025 Notes) and on May 14, 2021, Olin redeemed the remaining $185.0 million of the outstanding Blue Cube 2025 Notes. The Blue Cube 2025 Notes were redeemed at 105.00% of the principal amount of the Blue Cube 2025 Notes, resulting in a redemption premium of $25.0 million. The Blue Cube 2025 Notes were redeemed by drawing $315.0 million of the Delayed Draw Term Loan along with utilizing cash on hand. On January 15, 2021, Olin redeemed the remaining $120.0 million of the outstanding 9.75% senior notes due 2023 (2023 Notes). The 2023 Notes were redeemed at 102.438% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes, resulting in a redemption premium of $2.9 million. The remaining 2023 Notes were redeemed by utilizing $122.9 million of cash on hand. On October 15, 2020, Olin redeemed $600.0 million of the outstanding 2023 Notes. The 2023 Notes were redeemed at 102.438% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes, resulting in a redemption premium of $14.6 million. The 2023 Notes were redeemed by drawing $500.0 million of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility along with utilizing $114.6 million of cash on hand. On May 19, 2020, Olin issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.50% senior notes due June 1, 2025 (2025 Notes). The 2025 Notes were issued at 99.5% of par value, the discount from which is included within long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets. Interest on the 2025 Notes is payable semi-annually beginning on December 1, 2020. Proceeds from the 2025 Notes were used for general corporate purposes. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we recognized interest expense of $14.5 million, $5.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for the write-off of deferred debt issuance costs, write-off of bond original issue discount and recognition of deferred fair value interest rate swap losses. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we paid debt issuance costs of $3.9 million, $10.3 million and $16.6 million, respectively, related to financing transactions. At December 31, 2021, we had total letters of credit of $81.1 million outstanding, of which $0.4 million were issued under our Senior Revolving Credit Facility. The letters of credit are used to support certain long-term debt, certain workers compensation insurance policies, certain plant closure and post-closure obligations, certain international payment obligations and certain international pension funding requirements. Annual maturities of long-term debt, including finance lease obligations, are $201.1 million in 2022, $1.0 million in 2023, $720.8 million in 2024, $111.7 million in 2025, $83.0 million in 2026 and a total of $1,684.5 million thereafter.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
PENSION PLANS	NOTE 12. PENSION PLANS We sponsor domestic and foreign defined benefit pension plans for eligible employees and retirees. Most of our domestic employees participate in defined contribution plans. However, a portion of our bargaining hourly employees continue to participate in our domestic qualified defined benefit pension plans under a flat-benefit formula. Our funding policy for the qualified defined benefit pension plans is consistent with the requirements of federal laws and regulations. Our foreign subsidiaries maintain pension and other benefit plans, which are consistent with local statutory practices. Our domestic qualified defined benefit pension plan provides that if, within three years following a change of control of Olin, any corporate action is taken or filing made in contemplation of, among other things, a plan termination or merger or other transfer of assets or liabilities of the plan, and such termination, merger or transfer thereafter takes place, plan benefits would automatically be increased for affected participants (and retired participants) to absorb any plan surplus (subject to applicable collective bargaining requirements). During 2019, we made a discretionary cash contribution to our domestic qualified defined benefit pension plan of $12.5 million. Based on our plan assumptions and estimates, we will not be required to make any cash contributions to the domestic qualified defined benefit pension plan at least through 2022. We have international qualified defined benefit pension plans to which we made cash contributions of $1.1 million, $2.1 million and $2.4 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and we anticipate less than $5 million of cash contributions to international qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2022. Pension Obligations and Funded Status Changes in the benefit obligation and plan assets were as follows: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 U.S. Foreign Total U.S. Foreign Total Change in Benefit Obligation ($ in millions) Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 2,758.9 $ 446.4 $ 3,205.3 $ 2,620.2 $ 377.6 $ 2,997.8 Service cost 0.9 10.5 11.4 0.9 10.0 10.9 Interest cost 48.4 2.9 51.3 70.7 4.4 75.1 Actuarial (gain) loss (163.7) (41.7) (205.4) 203.5 31.6 235.1 Benefits paid (138.5) (11.4) (149.9) (136.4) (4.8) (141.2) Plan participant’s contributions — 0.9 0.9 — 0.4 0.4 Plan amendments — (0.7) (0.7) — (4.2) (4.2) Foreign currency translation adjustments — (24.6) (24.6) — 31.4 31.4 Benefit obligation at end of year $ 2,506.0 $ 382.3 $ 2,888.3 $ 2,758.9 $ 446.4 $ 3,205.3 December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 U.S. Foreign Total U.S. Foreign Total Change in Plan Assets ($ in millions) Fair value of plans’ assets at beginning of year $ 2,383.8 $ 85.3 $ 2,469.1 $ 2,122.6 $ 76.7 $ 2,199.3 Actual return on plans’ assets 184.0 (1.1) 182.9 397.3 6.4 403.7 Employer contributions 0.3 1.5 1.8 0.3 2.1 2.4 Benefits paid (138.5) (9.1) (147.6) (136.4) (2.9) (139.3) Foreign currency translation adjustments — (0.5) (0.5) — 3.0 3.0 Fair value of plans’ assets at end of year $ 2,429.6 $ 76.1 $ 2,505.7 $ 2,383.8 $ 85.3 $ 2,469.1 December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 U.S. Foreign Total U.S. Foreign Total Funded Status ($ in millions) Qualified plans $ (73.7) $ (303.6) $ (377.3) $ (371.8) $ (358.5) $ (730.3) Non-qualified plans (2.7) (2.6) (5.3) (3.3) (2.6) (5.9) Total funded status $ (76.4) $ (306.2) $ (382.6) $ (375.1) $ (361.1) $ (736.2) We recorded a $185.6 million after-tax benefit ($245.9 million pretax) to shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2021 for our pension plans. This benefit primarily reflected a 50-basis point increase in the domestic pension plans’ discount rate and favorable performance on plan assets during 2021. In 2020, we recorded a $17.9 million after-tax benefit ($30.7 million pretax) to shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2020 for our pension plans. This benefit primarily reflected favorable performance on plan assets during 2020, partially offset by an 80-basis point decrease in the domestic pension plans’ discount rate. The $205.4 million actuarial gain for 2021 was primarily due to a 50-basis point increase in the domestic pension plans’ discount rate. The $235.1 million actuarial loss for 2020 was primarily due to an 80-basis point decrease in the domestic pension plans’ discount rate. Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets consisted of: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 U.S. Foreign Total U.S. Foreign Total ($ in millions) Accrued benefit in current liabilities $ (0.6) $ (0.1) $ (0.7) $ (0.7) $ (2.2) $ (2.9) Accrued benefit in noncurrent liabilities (75.8) (306.1) (381.9) (374.4) (358.9) (733.3) Accumulated other comprehensive loss 545.4 85.1 630.5 798.4 130.1 928.5 Net balance sheet impact $ 469.0 $ (221.1) $ 247.9 $ 423.3 $ (231.0) $ 192.3 At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the benefit obligation of non-qualified pension plans was $5.3 million and $5.9 million, respectively, and was included in the above pension benefit obligation. There were no plan assets for these non-qualified pension plans. Benefit payments for the non-qualified pension plans are expected to be as follows: 2022—$0.8 million; 2023—$0.4 million; 2024—$0.3 million; 2025—$0.3 million; and 2026—$0.4 million. Benefit payments for the qualified plans are projected to be as follows: 2022—$149.3 million; 2023—$146.6 million; 2024—$146.5 million; 2025—$145.5 million; and 2026—$143.4 million.

Pension Plan Assumptions Certain actuarial assumptions, such as discount rate and long-term rate of return on plan assets, have a significant effect on the amounts reported for net periodic benefit cost and accrued benefit obligation amounts. We use a measurement date of December 31 for our pension plans. U.S. Pension Benefits Foreign Pension Benefits Weighted-Average Assumptions 2021 2020 2019 2021 2020 2019 Discount rate—periodic benefit cost 2.4 % (1) 3.2 % 4.2 % 0.8 % 1.4 % 2.2 % Expected return on assets 7.25 % 7.75 % 7.75 % 4.2 % 4.4 % 5.2 % Rate of compensation increase 3.0 % 3.0 % 3.0 % 3.0 % 2.7 % 2.9 % Discount rate—benefit obligation 2.9 % 2.4 % 3.2 % 1.4 % 0.8 % 1.4 % (1) The discount rate—periodic benefit cost for our domestic qualified pension plan is comprised of the discount rate used to determine interest costs of 1.8% and the discount rate used to determine service costs of 2.5%. The discount rate is based on a hypothetical yield curve represented by a series of annualized individual zero-coupon bond spot rates for maturities ranging from one-half to thirty years. The bonds used in the yield curve must have a rating of AA or better per Standard & Poor’s, be non-callable, and have at least $250 million par outstanding. The yield curve is then applied to the projected benefit payments from the plan. Based on these bonds and the projected benefit payment streams, the single rate that produces the same yield as the matching bond portfolio is used as the discount rate. The long-term expected rate of return on plan assets represents an estimate of the long-term rate of returns on the investment portfolio consisting of equities, fixed income and alternative investments. We use long-term historical actual return information, the allocation mix of investments that comprise plan assets and forecast estimates of long-term investment returns, including inflation rates, by reference to external sources. The historic rates of return on plan assets have been 11.1% for the last 5 years, 9.1% for the last 10 years and 9.8% for the last 15 years. The following rates of return by asset class were considered in setting the long-term rate of return assumption: U.S. equities 7% to 11% Non-U.S. equities 8% to 12% Fixed income/cash 3% to 7% Alternative investments 5% to 15% Plan Assets Our pension plan asset allocations at December 31, 2021 and 2020 by asset class were as follows: Percentage of Plan Assets Asset Class 2021 2020 U.S. equities 6 % 13 % Non-U.S. equities 11 % 17 % Fixed income/cash 44 % 35 % Alternative investments 39 % 35 % Total 100 % 100 % The Alternative Investments asset class includes hedge funds, real estate and private equity investments. The Alternative Investments class is intended to help diversify risk and increase returns by utilizing a broader group of assets. A master trust was established by our pension plan to accumulate funds required to meet benefit payments of our plan and is administered solely in the interest of our plan’s participants and their beneficiaries. The master trust’s investment horizon is long term. Its assets are managed by professional investment managers or invested in professionally managed investment vehicles. Our pension plan maintains a portfolio of assets designed to achieve an appropriate risk adjusted return. The portfolio of assets is also structured to manage risk by diversifying assets across asset classes whose return patterns are not highly correlated, investing in passively and actively managed strategies and in value and growth styles, and by periodic rebalancing of asset classes, strategies and investment styles to objectively set targets. As of December 31, 2021, the following target allocation and ranges have been set for each asset class: Asset Class Target Allocation Target Range U.S. equities (1) 21 % 10-30 Non-U.S. equities (1) 14 % 0-35 Fixed income/cash (1) 58 % 25-90 Alternative investments 7 % 0-40 (1) The target allocation for these asset classes include alternative investments, primarily hedge funds, based on the underlying investments in each hedge fund. Determining which hierarchical level an asset or liability falls within requires significant judgment.

Non-U.S. equities —This class included actively managed equity investments in commingled funds comprised primarily of international large-capitalization stocks from both developed and emerging markets. Fixed income and cash— This class included commingled funds comprised of debt instruments issued by the U.S. and Canadian Treasuries, U.S. Agencies, corporate debt instruments, asset- and mortgage-backed securities and cash. Hedge fund of funds— This class included a hedge fund which invests in the following types of hedge funds: Event driven hedge funds— This class included hedge funds that invest in securities to capture excess returns that are driven by market or specific company events including activist investment philosophies and the arbitrage of equity and private and public debt securities. Market neutral hedge funds —This class included investments in U.S. and international equities and fixed income securities while maintaining a market neutral position in those markets. Other hedge funds —This class primarily included long-short equity strategies and a global macro fund which invested in fixed income, equity, currency, commodity and related derivative markets. Real estate funds —This class included several funds that invest primarily in U.S. commercial real estate. Private equity funds —This class included several private equity funds that invest primarily in infrastructure and U.S. power generation and transmission assets. U.S. equities and non-U.S. equities are primarily valued at the net asset value provided by the independent administrator or custodian of the commingled fund. The net asset value is based on the value of the underlying equities, which are traded on an active market. U.S. equities are also valued at the closing price reported in an active market on which the individual securities are traded. A portion of our fixed income investments are valued at the net asset value provided by the independent administrator or custodian of the fund. The net asset value is based on the underlying assets, which are valued using inputs such as the closing price reported, if traded on an active market, values derived from comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings, or under a discounted cash flow approach that utilizes observable inputs, such as current yields of similar instruments, but includes adjustments for risks that may not be observable such as certain credit and liquidity risks.

Other Postretirement Benefits Plan Assumptions Certain actuarial assumptions, such as discount rate, have a significant effect on the amounts reported for net periodic benefit cost and accrued benefit obligation amounts. December 31, Weighted-Average Assumptions 2021 2020 2019 Discount rate—periodic benefit cost 2.3 % 3.1 % 4.1 % Discount rate—benefit obligation 2.8 % 2.3 % 3.1 % The discount rate is based on a hypothetical yield curve represented by a series of annualized individual zero-coupon bond spot rates for maturities ranging from one-half to thirty years. The bonds used in the yield curve must have a rating of AA or better per Standard & Poor’s, be non-callable, and have at least $250 million par outstanding. The yield curve is then applied to the projected benefit payments from the plan. Based on these bonds and the projected benefit payment streams, the single rate that produces the same yield as the matching bond portfolio is used as the discount rate. We review external data and our own internal trends for healthcare costs to determine the healthcare cost for the post retirement benefit obligation. The assumed healthcare cost trend rates for pre-65 retirees were as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 Healthcare cost trend rate assumed for next year 7.3 % 7.3 % Rate that the cost trend rate gradually declines to 4.5 % 4.5 % Year that the rate reaches the ultimate rate 2032 2031 For post-65 retirees, we provide a fixed dollar benefit, which is not subject to escalation. We expect to make payments of approximately $3 million for each of the next five years under the provisions of our other postretirement benefit plans.

Years ended December 31, Effective Tax Rate Reconciliation (Percent) 2021 2020 2019 Statutory federal tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % State income taxes, net 1.9 1.1 (5.4) Foreign rate differential 2.9 (0.2) 19.4 U.S. tax on foreign earnings 0.3 (1.8) — Salt depletion (0.6) 1.0 29.0 Change in valuation allowance (10.4) (3.5) (64.9) Remeasurement of U.S. state deferred taxes 0.1 (0.1) 16.1 Change in tax contingencies 1.5 0.2 35.4 Share-based payments (0.7) — 0.7 Dividends paid to Contributing Employee Ownership Plan — — 1.1 Return to provision (0.5) 0.3 15.0 U.S. federal tax credits — 0.2 6.4 Goodwill impairment charge — (13.3) — Other, net 0.2 — (4.4) Effective tax rate 15.7 % 4.9 % 69.4 % The effective tax rate for 2021 included benefits from a net decrease in the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets in foreign jurisdictions and domestic tax credits, a benefit associated with prior year tax positions, a benefit associated with stock-based compensation, an expense from remeasurement of deferred taxes due to an increase in our state effective tax rates and an expense from a change in tax contingencies. These factors resulted in a net $103.6 million tax benefit. After giving consideration to these items, the effective tax rate for 2021 of 22.5% was higher than the 21% U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, foreign income inclusions and foreign income taxes, partially offset by a net decrease in the valuation allowance related to utilization of losses in foreign jurisdictions and favorable permanent salt depletion deductions. The effective tax rate for 2020 included expenses associated with a net increase in the valuation allowance related to foreign and domestic tax credits and deferred tax assets in foreign jurisdictions, a remeasurement of deferred taxes due to an increase in our state effective tax rates and a change in tax contingencies, and stock-based compensation, partially offset by a benefit associated with prior year tax positions. These factors resulted in a net $27.9 million tax expense. For 2020, a tax benefit of $10.8 million was recognized associated with the $699.8 million goodwill impairment charge. After giving consideration to these items, including the goodwill impairment charge on Olin’s loss before taxes, the effective tax rate for 2020 of 21.0% was equal to the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate as foreign income taxes, foreign income inclusions and a net increase in the valuation allowance related to losses in foreign jurisdictions were offset by state taxes and favorable permanent salt depletion deductions. The effective tax rate for 2019 included benefits associated with the finalization of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) review of years 2013 to 2015 U.S. income tax claims, stock-based compensation, prior year tax positions, foreign tax law changes, a remeasurement of deferred taxes due to a decrease in our state effective tax rates and a change in tax contingencies. The effective tax rate also included expenses associated with a net increase in the valuation allowance primarily related to foreign deferred tax assets and liabilities. These factors resulted in a net $19.4 million tax benefit. After giving consideration to these items, the effective tax rate for 2019 of 16.8% was lower than the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes and a net increase in the valuation allowance related to losses in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by foreign income taxes and favorable permanent salt depletion deductions. December 31, Components of Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities 2021 2020 Deferred tax assets: ($ in millions) Pension and postretirement benefits $ 92.4 $ 181.9 Environmental reserves 36.4 36.3 Asset retirement obligations 14.7 16.4 Accrued liabilities 49.4 54.1 Lease liabilities 89.7 87.4 Tax credits 40.8 49.8 Net operating losses 22.6 141.0 Capital loss carryforward 0.5 0.9 Interest deduction limitation — 7.0 Total deferred tax assets 346.5 574.8 Valuation allowance (70.1) (239.6) Net deferred tax assets 276.4 335.2 Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment 496.7 530.4 Right-of-use lease assets 88.2 86.2 Intangible amortization 41.2 40.0 Inventory and prepaids 7.9 17.4 Partnerships 87.0 80.9 Taxes on unremitted earnings 8.7 6.1 Other miscellaneous items 6.3 6.2 Total deferred tax liabilities 736.0 767.2 Net deferred tax liability $ (459.6) $ (432.0) Realization of the net deferred tax assets, irrespective of indefinite-lived deferred tax liabilities, is dependent on future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and adequate future taxable income, exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, we believe that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. At December 31, 2021, we had deferred state tax assets of $14.2 million relating to state NOLs, which will expire in years 2022 through 2042, if not utilized. At December 31, 2021, we had deferred state tax assets of $21.2 million relating to state tax credits, which will expire in years 2022 through 2036, if not utilized. At December 31, 2021, we had a capital loss carryforward of $2.2 million (representing $0.5 million of deferred tax assets) which is available to offset future consolidated capital gains that will expire in years 2022 through 2025, if not utilized. At December 31, 2021, we had foreign tax credits of $18.5 million, that will expire in years 2027 through 2031, if not utilized. At December 31, 2021, we had NOLs of approximately $39.2 million (representing $8.4 million of deferred tax assets) in various foreign jurisdictions. Of these, $30.8 million (representing $7.0 million of deferred tax assets) expire in various years from 2023 to 2031. The remaining $8.4 million (representing $1.4 million of deferred tax assets) do not expire. As of December 31, 2021, we had recorded a valuation allowance of $70.1 million, compared to $239.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The decrease of $169.5 million is primarily due to a release of the $156.9 million valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets of our German operations, of which $103.8 million was released in the second quarter of 2021. As a result of significant taxable income during the first six months of 2021, our German operations reported cumulative income before tax (adjusted for permanent items) over the previous twelve quarters. Additionally, we projected taxable income in our German operations for the remainder of 2021 and we expected that net operating loss carryovers and other deductible amounts in Germany would ultimately be realizable against future income. We concluded, based upon the preponderance of positive evidence over negative evidence and the anticipated ability to use the deferred tax assets, that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets in Germany would be realizable due to U.S. GAAP forecasted income. If there are unfavorable changes to actual operating results or to projections of future income, we may determine that it is more likely than not such deferred tax assets may not be realizable. All German net operating loss carryovers were realized in 2021. We continue to have net deferred tax assets in several jurisdictions which we expect to realize, assuming sufficient taxable income can be generated to utilize these deferred tax benefits, which is based on certain estimates and assumptions. If these estimates and related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to reduce the value of the deferred tax assets resulting in additional tax expense. The activity of our deferred income tax valuation allowance was as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 ($ in millions) Beginning balance $ 239.6 $ 182.1 Increases to valuation allowances 3.2 54.6 Decreases to valuation allowances (169.6) (2.2) Foreign currency translation adjustments (3.1) 5.1 Ending balance $ 70.1 $ 239.6 As of December 31, 2021, we had $43.4 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which would have a net $43.6 million impact on the effective tax rate, if recognized. As of December 31, 2020, we had $21.3 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which would have a net $21.2 million impact on the effective tax rate, if recognized. The change for both 2021 and 2020 primarily relates to additional gross unrecognized benefits for current and prior year tax positions, as well as decreases for prior year tax positions. The amounts of unrecognized tax benefits were as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 ($ in millions) Beginning balance $ 21.3 $ 22.8 Increase for current year tax positions 5.8 1.7 Increase for prior year tax positions 24.4 0.2 Decrease for prior year tax positions (4.1) (3.5) Reduction due to lapse in statute of limitations (3.0) — Foreign currency translation adjustments (1.0) 0.1 Ending balance $ 43.4 $ 21.3 We recognize interest and penalty expense related to unrecognized tax positions as a component of the income tax provision. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, interest and penalties accrued were $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively. For 2021, 2020 and 2019, we recorded expense (benefit) related to interest and penalties of $0.5 million, $(0.1) million and $(1.5) million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, we believe it is reasonably possible that our total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $13.5 million over the next twelve months. The anticipated reduction primarily relates to settlements with tax authorities and the expiration of federal, state and foreign statutes of limitation. We operate globally and file income tax returns in numerous jurisdictions. Our tax returns are subject to examination by various federal, state and local tax authorities. Additionally, examinations are ongoing in various states and foreign jurisdictions. We believe we have adequately provided for all tax positions; however, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater than our accrued position. For our primary tax jurisdictions, the tax years that remain subject to examination are as follows: Tax Years U.S. federal income tax 2018 - 2020 U.S. state income tax 2012 - 2020 Canadian federal income tax 2013 - 2020 Brazil 2015 - 2020 Germany 2015 - 2020 China 2014 - 2020 The Netherlands 2015 - 2020

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
CONTRIBUTING EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP PLAN	NOTE 16. CONTRIBUTING EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP PLAN The Contributing Employee Ownership Plan (CEOP) is a defined contribution plan available to essentially all domestic employees. We provide a contribution to an individual retirement contribution account maintained with the CEOP equal to an amount of between 5.0% and 7.5% of the employee’s eligible compensation. The defined contribution plan expense was $35.4 million, $30.6 million and $29.9 million for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Company matching contributions are invested in the same investment allocation as the employee’s contribution. Our matching contributions for eligible employees amounted to $14.2 million, $3.7 million and $15.8 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Effective January 1, 2020, we suspended the match on all salaried and non-bargaining hourly employees’ contributions, and moved to a discretionary contribution model with contributions contingent upon company-wide financial performance. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we did not make a discretionary matching contribution. Effective January 1, 2021, we reinstated the match on all salaried and non-bargaining hourly employees’ contributions, which provides for a maximum 3% matching contribution based on the level of participant contributions. Employees generally become vested in the value of the contributions we make to the CEOP according to a schedule based on service. After 2 years of service, participants are 25% vested. They vest in increments of 25% for each additional year and after 5 years of service, they are 100% vested in the value of the contributions that we have made to their accounts. Employees may transfer any or all of the value of the investments, including Olin common stock, to any one or combination of investments available in the CEOP. Employees may transfer balances daily and may elect to transfer any percentage of the balance in the fund from which the transfer is made. However, when transferring out of a fund, employees are prohibited from trading out of the fund to which the transfer was made for seven

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	NOTE 17. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Stock-based compensation expense was allocated to the operating segments for the portion related to employees whose compensation would be included in cost of goods sold with the remainder recognized in corporate/other. There were no significant capitalized stock-based compensation costs. Stock-based compensation granted includes stock options, performance stock awards, restricted stock awards and deferred directors’ compensation. Stock-based compensation expense was as follows: Years ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 ($ in millions) Stock-based compensation $ 28.4 $ 17.5 $ 9.4 Mark-to-market adjustments 24.7 4.8 (1.8) Total expense $ 53.1 $ 22.3 $ 7.6 Stock Plans Under the stock option and long-term incentive plans, options may be granted to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price not less than fair market value at the date of grant, and are exercisable for a period not exceeding ten years from that date. Stock options, restricted stock and performance shares typically vest over three years. We issue shares to settle stock options, restricted stock and share-based performance awards. In 2021, 2020 and 2019, long-term incentive awards included stock options, performance share awards and restricted stock. The stock option exercise price was set at the fair market value of common stock on the date of the grant, and the options have a ten-year term. Stock option transactions were as follows: Exercisable Shares Option Price Weighted-Average Option Price Options Weighted-Average Exercise Price Outstanding at January 1, 2021 9,127,375 $13.14-32.94 $ 23.06 5,671,371 $ 24.57 Granted 1,154,700 28.99-58.59 30.63 Exercised (3,378,783) 13.14-32.94 21.42 Canceled (923,056) 13.14-32.94 20.28 Outstanding at December 31, 2021 5,980,236 13.14-58.59 $ 25.88 3,736,639 $ 26.60 At December 31, 2021, the average exercise period for all outstanding and exercisable options was 79 months and 66 months, respectively. At December 31, 2021, the aggregate intrinsic value (the difference between the exercise price and market value) for outstanding options was $189.6 million, which includes exercisable options of $115.7 million. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $73.1 million, $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options at December 31, 2021 was $9.9 million and was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years.

Under the stock purchase plans, our non-employee directors may defer certain elements of their compensation into shares of our common stock based on fair market value of the shares at the time of deferral. Non-employee directors annually receive stock grants as a portion of their director compensation. Of the shares reserved under the stock purchase plans at December 31, 2021, 243,225 shares were committed. Performance share awards are denominated in shares of our stock and are paid half in cash and half in stock. Payouts for performance share awards are based on two criteria: (1) 50% of the award is based on Olin’s total shareholder returns over the applicable three-year performance cycle in relation to the total shareholder return over the same period among a portfolio of public companies which are selected in concert with outside compensation consultants and (2) 50% of the award is based on Olin’s net income over the applicable three-year performance cycle in relation to the net income goal for such period as set by the compensation committee of Olin’s board of directors. The expense associated with performance shares is recorded based on our estimate of our performance relative to the respective target. If an employee leaves the company before the end of the performance cycle, the performance shares may be prorated based on the number of months of the performance cycle worked and are settled in cash instead of half in cash and half in stock when the three-year performance cycle is completed. Granted shares reflects changes in assumptions associated with the expected achievement of the aforementioned criteria. Performance share transactions were as follows: To Settle in Cash To Settle in Shares Shares Weighted-Average Fair Value per Share Shares Weighted-Average Fair Value per Share Outstanding at January 1, 2021 393,205 $ 24.84 345,430 $ 21.37 Granted 399,669 24.25 364,287 24.15 Paid/Issued (25,605) 24.84 (19,267) 32.94 Converted from shares to cash 135,237 21.45 (135,237) 21.45 Canceled (119,232) 26.69 (118,456) 19.18 Outstanding at December 31, 2021 783,274 $ 57.57 436,757 $ 23.75 Total vested at December 31, 2021 592,914 $ 57.57 259,010 $ 22.81 The summary of the status of our unvested performance shares to be settled in cash were as follows: Shares Weighted-Average Fair Value per Share Unvested at January 1, 2021 176,250 $ 24.84 Granted 399,669 24.25 Vested (266,327) 57.57 Canceled (119,232) 26.69 Unvested at December 31, 2021 190,360 $ 57.57 At December 31, 2021, the liability recorded for performance shares to be settled in cash totaled $34.1 million.

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY	NOTE 18. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY On April 26, 2018, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program for the purchase of shares of common stock at an aggregate price of up to $500.0 million. This program will terminate upon the purchase of $500.0 million of our common stock. On November 1, 2021, our board of directors authorized an additional share repurchase program for the purchase of shares of common stock at an aggregate price of up to $1.0 billion. This program will terminate upon the purchase of $1.0 billion of our common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2021, 4.7 million were repurchased and retired at a cost of $251.9 million. On August 5, 2019, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, a third-party financial institution, to repurchase $100.0 million of Olin’s common stock. This authorization was granted under the April 26, 2018 share repurchase program and reduced the remaining authorized repurchase amount under that program by $100.0 million. In connection with this agreement, we repurchased a total of 5.7 million shares under this ASR agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2019, 8.0 million shares were repurchased and retired at a cost of $145.9 million. As of December 31, 2021, a cumulative total of 14.7 million shares were repurchased and retired at a cost of $447.8 million and $52.2 million of common stock remained authorized to be repurchased under the 2018 Repurchase Authorization program. As of December 31, 2021, there have been no repurchases under the 2021 Repurchase Authorization program and $1.0 billion of common stock remained authorized to be repurchased under this plan. During 2021, 2020 and 2019, we issued 3.4 million, 0.1 million and 0.1 million shares, respectively, with a total value of $72.4 million, $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, representing stock options exercised. We have registered an undetermined amount of securities with the SEC, so that, from time-to-time, we may issue debt securities, preferred stock and/or common stock and associated warrants in the public market under that registration statement.

Environmental Remediation Obligations [Abstract]
ENVIRONMENTAL	NOTE 20. ENVIRONMENTAL As is common in our industry, we are subject to environmental laws and regulations related to the use, storage, handling, generation, transportation, emission, discharge, disposal and remediation of, and exposure to, hazardous and non-hazardous substances and wastes in all of the countries in which we do business. The establishment and implementation of national, state or provincial and local standards to regulate air, water and land quality affect substantially all of our manufacturing locations around the world. Laws providing for regulation of the manufacture, transportation, use and disposal of hazardous and toxic substances, and remediation of contaminated sites, have imposed additional regulatory requirements on industry, particularly the chemicals industry. In addition, implementation of environmental laws has required and will continue to require new capital expenditures and will increase plant operating costs. We employ waste minimization and pollution prevention programs at our manufacturing sites. We are party to various government and private environmental actions associated with past manufacturing facilities and former waste disposal sites. Associated costs of investigatory and remedial activities are provided for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles governing probability and the ability to reasonably estimate future costs. Our ability to estimate future costs depends on whether our investigatory and remedial activities are in preliminary or advanced stages. With respect to unasserted claims, we accrue liabilities for costs that, in our experience, we expect to incur to protect our interests against those unasserted claims. Our accrued liabilities for unasserted claims amounted to $9.0 million at December 31, 2021. With respect to asserted claims, we accrue liabilities based on remedial investigation, feasibility study, remedial action and operation, maintenance and monitoring (OM&M) expenses that, in our experience, we expect to incur in connection with the asserted claims. Required site OM&M expenses are estimated and accrued in their entirety for required periods not exceeding 30 years, which reasonably approximates the typical duration of long-term site OM&M. Our liabilities for future environmental expenditures were as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 ($ in millions) Beginning balance $ 147.2 $ 139.0 Charges to income 16.2 20.9 Remedial and investigatory spending (16.4) (12.8) Foreign currency translation adjustments 0.3 0.1 Ending balance $ 147.3 $ 147.2 At December 31, 2021 and 2020, our consolidated balance sheets included environmental liabilities of $122.3 million and $128.2 million, respectively, which were classified as other noncurrent liabilities. Our environmental liability amounts do not take into account any discounting of future expenditures or any consideration of insurance recoveries or advances in technology. These liabilities are reassessed periodically to determine if environmental circumstances have changed and/or remediation efforts and our estimate of related costs have changed. As a result of these reassessments, future charges to income may be made for additional liabilities. Of the $147.3 million included on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 for future environmental expenditures, we currently expect to utilize $75.1 million of the reserve for future environmental expenditures over the next 5 years, $39.9 million for expenditures 6 to 10 years in the future, and $32.3 million for expenditures beyond 10 years in the future. Our total estimated environmental liability at December 31, 2021 was attributable to 58 sites, 14 of which were United States Environmental Protection Agency National Priority List sites. Nine sites accounted for 81% of our environmental liability and, of the remaining 49 sites, no one site accounted for more than 3% of our environmental liability. At seven of the nine sites, part of the site is in the long-term OM&M stage. At seven of the nine sites, a remedial action plan is being developed for part of the site. At five of the nine sites, a remedial design is being developed at part of the site and at four of the nine sites, part of the site is subject to a remedial investigation. All nine sites are either associated with past manufacturing operations or former waste disposal sites. None of the nine largest sites represents more than 22% of the liabilities reserved on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 for future environmental expenditures. Environmental provisions charged to income, which are included in cost of goods sold, were as follows: Years ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 ($ in millions) Provisions charged to income $ 16.2 $ 20.9 $ 25.3 Insurance recoveries for costs incurred and expensed (2.2) — (4.8) Environmental expense $ 14.0 $ 20.9 $ 20.5 Environmental expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2019 included $2.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively, of insurance recoveries for environmental costs incurred and expensed in prior periods. These charges relate primarily to remedial and investigatory activities associated with past manufacturing operations and former waste disposal sites and may be material to operating results in future years. Annual environmental-related cash outlays for site investigation and remediation are expected to range between approximately $20 million to $30 million over the next several years, which are expected to be charged against reserves recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. While we do not anticipate a material increase in the projected annual level of our environmental-related cash outlays for site investigation and remediation, there is always the possibility that such an increase may occur in the future in view of the uncertainties associated with environmental exposures. Environmental exposures are difficult to assess for numerous reasons, including the identification of new sites, developments at sites resulting from investigatory studies, advances in technology, changes in environmental laws and regulations and their application, changes in regulatory authorities, the scarcity of reliable data pertaining to identified sites, the difficulty in assessing the involvement and financial capability of other Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs), our ability to obtain contributions from other parties and the lengthy time periods over which site remediation occurs. It is possible that some of these matters (the outcomes of which are subject to various uncertainties) may be resolved unfavorably to us, which could materially adversely affect our financial position or results of operations. At December 31, 2021, we estimate that it is reasonably possible that we may have additional contingent environmental liabilities of $70 million in addition to the amounts for which we have already recorded as a reserve.

Legal Matters Olin, K.A. Steel Chemicals (a wholly owned subsidiary of Olin) and other alleged caustic soda producers were named as defendants in six purported class action civil lawsuits filed March 22, 25 and 26, 2019 and April 12, 2019 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York on behalf of the respective named plaintiffs and a putative class comprised of all persons and entities who purchased caustic soda in the U.S. directly from one or more of the defendants, their parents, predecessors, subsidiaries or affiliates at any time on or after October 1, 2015. Olin, K.A. Steel Chemicals and other caustic soda producers were also named as defendants in two purported class action civil lawsuits filed July 25 and 29, 2019 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York on behalf of the respective named plaintiffs and a putative class comprised of all persons and entities who purchased caustic soda in the U.S. indirectly from distributors at any time on or after October 1, 2015. The other defendants named in the lawsuits are Occidental Petroleum Corporation, Occidental Chemical Corporation d/b/a OxyChem, Westlake Chemical Corporation, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., Shintech Incorporated, Formosa Plastics Corporation, and Formosa Plastics Corporation, U.S.A. The lawsuits allege the defendants conspired to fix, raise, maintain and stabilize the price of caustic soda, restrict domestic (U.S.) supply of caustic soda and allocate caustic soda customers. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages and injunctive relief. Olin, K.A. Steel Chemical, Olin Canada ULC, 3229897 Nova Scotia Co. (wholly owned subsidiaries of Olin) and other alleged caustic soda producers were named as defendants in a proposed class action civil lawsuit filed on October 7, 2020 in the Quebec Superior Court (Province of Quebec) on behalf of the respective named plaintiff and a putative class comprised of all Canadian persons and entities who, between October 1, 2015 and the date of the eventual class action certification, directly or indirectly purchased caustic soda or products containing caustic soda, produced by one or more of the defendants. Olin, K.A. Steel Chemical, Olin Canada ULC, 3229897 Nova Scotia Co. and other alleged caustic soda producers were also named as defendants in a proposed class action civil lawsuit filed November 13, 2020 in the Federal Court of Canada on behalf of the respective named plaintiff and a putative class comprised of all legal persons in Canada who, at any time on or after October 1, 2015 to the present, directly or indirectly purchased caustic soda. The other defendants named in the two Canadian lawsuits are Occidental Petroleum Corporation, Occidental Chemical Corporation, Oxy Canada Sales, Inc., Westlake Chemical Corporation, Axiall Canada, Inc., Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., Shintech Incorporated, Formosa Plastics Corporation, and Formosa Plastics Corporation, U.S.A. The lawsuits allege the defendants conspired to fix, raise, maintain control, and stabilize the price of caustic soda, divide and allocate markets, sales, customers and territories, fix, maintain, control, prevent, restrict, lessen or eliminate production and supply of caustic soda, and agree to idle capacity of production and/or refrain from increasing their production capacity. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages, including punitive damages. We believe we have meritorious legal positions and will continue to represent our interests vigorously in these matters. Any losses related to these matters are not currently estimable because of unresolved questions of fact and law, but if resolved unfavorably to Olin, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. We, and our subsidiaries, are defendants in various other legal actions (including proceedings based on alleged exposures to asbestos) incidental to our past and current business activities. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, our consolidated balance sheets included liabilities for these other legal actions of $14.2 million and $13.5 million, respectively. These liabilities do not include costs associated with legal representation. Based on our analysis, and considering the inherent uncertainties associated with litigation, we do not believe that it is reasonably possible that these other legal actions will materially adversely affect our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. During the ordinary course of our business, contingencies arise resulting from an existing condition, situation or set of circumstances involving an uncertainty as to the realization of a possible gain contingency. In certain instances such as environmental projects, we are responsible for managing the clean-up and remediation of an environmental site. There exists the possibility of recovering a portion of these costs from other parties. We account for gain contingencies in accordance with the provisions of ASC 450 “Contingencies” and therefore do not record gain contingencies and recognize income until it is earned and realizable.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	12 Months Ended

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	NOTE 23. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of our business operations due to our purchases of certain commodities, our ongoing investing and financing activities and our operations that use foreign currencies. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. We have established policies and procedures governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage exposure to such risks. ASC 815 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and measure those instruments at fair value. In accordance with ASC 815, we designate derivative contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted purchases of commodities and forecasted interest payments related to variable-rate borrowings and designate certain interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of fixed-rate borrowings. We do not enter into any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Energy costs, including electricity and natural gas, and certain raw materials used in our production processes are subject to price volatility. Depending on market conditions, we may enter into futures contracts, forward contracts, commodity swaps and put and call option contracts in order to reduce the impact of commodity price fluctuations. The majority of our commodity derivatives expire within one year. We actively manage currency exposures that are associated with net monetary asset positions, currency purchases and sales commitments denominated in foreign currencies and foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities created in the normal course of business. We enter into forward sales and purchase contracts to manage currency risk to offset our net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities of our operations. At December 31, 2021, we had outstanding forward contracts to buy foreign currency with a notional value of $199.0 million and to sell foreign currency with a notional value of $124.4 million. All of the currency derivatives expire within one year and are for USD equivalents. The counterparties to the forward contracts are large financial institutions; however, the risk of loss to us in the event of nonperformance by a counterparty could impact our financial position or results of operations. At December 31, 2020, we had outstanding forward contracts to buy foreign currency with a notional value of $169.9 million and to sell foreign currency with a notional value of $113.6 million. Cash Flow Hedges For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. We had the following notional amounts of outstanding commodity contracts that were entered into to hedge forecasted purchases: December 31, 2021 2020 ($ in millions) Natural gas $ 37.7 $ 74.1 Ethane 60.3 51.8 Metals 126.3 88.2 Total notional $ 224.3 $ 214.1 As of December 31, 2021, the counterparties to these commodity contracts were Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, and Bank of America Corporation, all of which are major financial institutions. We use cash flow hedges for certain raw material and energy costs such as copper, zinc, lead, ethane, electricity and natural gas to provide a measure of stability in managing our exposure to price fluctuations associated with forecasted purchases of raw materials and energy used in our manufacturing process. At December 31, 2021, we had open derivative contract positions through 2027. If all open futures contracts had been settled on December 31, 2021, we would have recognized a pretax gain of $30.3 million. If commodity prices were to remain at December 31, 2021 levels, approximately $17.3 million of deferred gains, net of tax, would be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months. The actual effect on earnings will be dependent on actual commodity prices when the forecasted transactions occur. We use interest rate swaps as a means of minimizing cash flow fluctuations that may arise from volatility in interest rates of our variable-rate borrowings. In July 2019, we terminated the remaining interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges which resulted in a gain of $1.8 million that was recognized in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2019, $4.3 million of income was recorded to interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations related to these swap agreements. Fair Value Hedges We use interest rate swaps as a means of managing interest expense and floating interest rate exposure to optimal levels. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. We include the gain or loss on the hedged items (fixed-rate borrowings) in the same line item, interest expense, as the offsetting loss or gain on the related interest rate swaps. In August 2019, we terminated the interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges which resulted in a loss of $2.3 million that was deferred as an offset to the carrying value of the related debt and was subsequently recognized to interest expense. In 2021, we redeemed the 2025 Notes, which resulted in recognition of the outstanding deferred swap loss. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, $1.8 million, $0.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of expense was recorded to interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations related to these swap agreements. Financial Statement Impacts We present our derivative assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets on a net basis whenever we have a legally enforceable master netting agreement with the counterparty to our derivative contracts. We use these agreements to manage and substantially reduce our potential counterparty credit risk. The following table summarizes the location and fair value of the derivative instruments on our consolidated balance sheets. The table disaggregates our net derivative assets and liabilities into gross components on a contract-by-contract basis before giving effect to master netting arrangements: December 31, 2021 2020 Asset Derivatives: ($ in millions) Other current assets Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Commodity contracts - gains $ 31.8 $ 25.0 Commodity contracts - losses (6.2) (3.1) Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts - gains 2.0 2.5 Foreign exchange contracts - losses (0.8) (0.2) Total other current assets 26.8 24.2 Other assets Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Commodity contracts - gains 7.9 7.4 Commodity contracts - losses — (0.2) Total other assets 7.9 7.2 Total Asset Derivatives (1) $ 34.7 $ 31.4 Liability Derivatives: Accrued liabilities Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Commodity contracts - losses $ 3.6 $ 1.4 Commodity contracts - gains (0.7) (1.3) Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts - losses 0.7 — Foreign exchange contracts - gains (0.1) — Total accrued liabilities 3.5 0.1 Other liabilities Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Commodity contract - losses 0.3 0.8 Commodity contract - gains — (0.2) Total other liabilities 0.3 0.6 Total Liability Derivatives (1) $ 3.8 $ 0.7 (1) Does not include the impact of cash collateral received from or provided to counterparties. The following table summarizes the effects of derivative instruments on our consolidated statements of operations: Amount of Gain (Loss) Years Ended December 31, Location of Gain (Loss) 2021 2020 2019 Derivatives – Cash Flow Hedges ($ in millions) Recognized in other comprehensive income (loss): Commodity contracts ——— $ 182.0 $ 31.1 $ (46.1) Interest rate contracts ——— — — (1.0) $ 182.0 $ 31.1 $ (47.1) Reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into income: Interest rate contracts Interest expense $ — $ — $ 4.3 Commodity contracts Cost of goods sold 180.1 (14.9) (31.1) $ 180.1 $ (14.9) $ (26.8) Derivatives – Fair Value Hedges Interest rate contracts Interest expense $ (1.8) $ (0.4) $ (2.6) Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Foreign exchange contracts Selling and administration $ (22.0) $ 17.7 $ (4.0) Credit Risk and Collateral By using derivative instruments, we are exposed to credit and market risk. If a counterparty fails to fulfill its performance obligations under a derivative contract, our credit risk will equal the fair value gain in a derivative. Generally, when the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, this indicates that the counterparty owes us, thus creating a repayment risk for us. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, assume no repayment risk. We minimize the credit (or repayment) risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties. We monitor our positions and the credit ratings of our counterparties, and we do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties. Based on the agreements with our various counterparties, cash collateral is required to be provided when the net fair value of the derivatives, with the counterparty, exceeds a specific threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, cash is either provided by the counterparty to us if the value of the derivatives is our asset, or cash is provided by us to the counterparty if the value of the derivatives is our liability. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, this threshold was not exceeded. In all instances where we are party to a master netting agreement, we offset the receivable or payable recognized upon payment of cash collateral against the fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments that have also been offset under such master netting agreements.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2021
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	NOTE 24. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities. We are required to separately disclose assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, from those measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are intangible assets and goodwill, which are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and/or when circumstances or other events indicate that impairment may have occurred. Determining which hierarchical level an asset or liability falls within requires significant judgment. The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets: Balance at December 31, 2021 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs Total Assets ($ in millions) Commodity contracts $ — $ 33.5 $ — $ 33.5 Foreign exchange contracts — 1.2 — 1.2 Total Assets $ — $ 34.7 $ — $ 34.7 Liabilities Commodity contracts $ — $ 3.2 $ — $ 3.2 Foreign exchange contracts — 0.6 — 0.6 Total Liabilities $ — $ 3.8 $ — $ 3.8 Balance at December 31, 2020 Assets Commodity contracts $ — $ 29.1 $ — $ 29.1 Foreign exchange contracts — 2.3 — 2.3 Total Assets $ — $ 31.4 $ — $ 31.4 Liabilities Commodity contracts $ — $ 0.7 $ — $ 0.7 Total Liabilities $ — $ 0.7 $ — $ 0.7 Commodity Contracts Commodity contract financial instruments were valued primarily based on prices and other relevant information observable in market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities including both forward and spot prices for commodities. We use commodity derivative contracts for certain raw materials and energy costs such as copper, zinc, lead, ethane, electricity and natural gas to provide a measure of stability in managing our exposure to price fluctuations. Foreign Currency Contracts Foreign currency contract financial instruments were valued primarily based on relevant information observable in market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities including both forward and spot prices for currencies. We enter into forward sales and purchase contracts to manage currency risk resulting from purchase and sale commitments denominated in foreign currencies. Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Since our long-term debt instruments may not be actively traded, the inputs used to measure the fair value of our long-term debt are based on current market rates for debt of similar risk and maturities and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value measurement hierarchy. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the fair value measurements of debt were $2,921.0 million and $4,177.2 million, respectively.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Olin and all majority-owned subsidiaries. Investment in our affiliates are accounted for on the equity method. Accordingly, we include only our share of earnings or losses of these affiliates in consolidated net income (loss). Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts to conform to the 2021 presentation.
Revenue from Contract with Customer	Revenue Recognition We derive our revenues primarily from the manufacturing and delivery of goods to customers. Revenues are recognized on sales of goods at the time when control of those goods is transferred to our customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods. We primarily sell our goods directly to customers, and to a lesser extent, through distributors. Payment terms are typically 30 to 90 days from date of invoice. Our contracts do not typically have a significant financing component. Right to payment is determined at the point in time in which control has transferred to the customer. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good to the customer. At contract inception, we assess the goods promised in our contracts with customers and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good (or bundle of goods) that is distinct. A contract’s transaction price is based on the price stated in the contract and allocated to each distinct performance obligation and revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of our contracts have a single distinct performance obligation or multiple performance obligations which are distinct and represent individual promises within the contract. Substantially all of our performance obligations are satisfied at a single point in time, when control is transferred, which is generally upon shipment or delivery as stated in the contract terms. All taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with our revenue-producing transactions and collected from our customers are excluded from the measurement of the transaction price. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in revenue and are considered activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good. Allowances for estimated returns, discounts and rebates are considered variable consideration, which may be constrained, and are estimated and recognized when sales are recorded. The estimates are based on various market data, historical trends and information from customers. Actual returns, discounts and rebates have not been materially different from estimates. For all contracts that have a duration of one year or less at contract inception, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component. Substantially all of our revenue is derived from contracts with an original expected length of time of one year or less and for which we recognize revenue for the amount in which we have the right to invoice at the point in time in which control has transferred to the customer. However, a portion of our revenue is derived from long-term contracts which have contract periods that vary between one to multi-year. Certain of these contracts represent contracts with minimum purchase obligations, which
Cost of Goods Sold and Selling and Administration Expenses	Cost of Goods Sold and Selling and Administration Expenses Cost of goods sold includes the costs of inventory sold, related purchasing, distribution and warehousing costs, costs incurred for shipping and handling, depreciation and amortization expense related to these activities and environmental remediation costs and recoveries. Selling and administration expenses include personnel costs associated with sales, marketing and administration, research and development, legal and legal-related costs, consulting and professional services fees, advertising expenses, depreciation expense related to these activities, foreign currency translation and other similar costs.
Acquisition-related Costs	Acquisition-related CostsAcquisition-related costs include advisory, legal, accounting and other professional fees incurred in connection with the purchase and integration of our acquisitions. Acquisition-related costs also may include costs which arise as a result of acquisitions, including contractual change in control provisions, contract termination costs, compensation payments related to the acquisition or pension and other postretirement benefit plan settlements.
Other Operating Income (Expense)	Other Operating Income (Expense)Other operating income (expense) consists of miscellaneous operating income items, which are related to our business activities, and gains (losses) on disposition of property, plant and equipment. Other operating income for the year ended December 31, 2021 included a $1.4 million gain on the sale of a terminal facility. Other operating income for the year ended December 31, 2020 included an $0.8 million gain on the sale of land.
Other Income (Expense)	Other Income (Expense)Other income (expense) consists of non-operating income and expense items which are not related to our primary business activities.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation Our worldwide operations utilize the U.S. dollar (USD) or local currency as the functional currency, where applicable. For foreign entities where the USD is the functional currency, gains and losses resulting from balance sheet translations are included in selling and administration. For foreign entities where the local currency is the functional currency, assets and liabilities denominated in local currencies are translated into USD at end-of-period exchange rates and the resultant translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Assets and liabilities denominated in other than the local currency are remeasured into the local currency prior to translation into USD and the resultant exchange gains or losses are included in income in the period in which they occur. Income and expenses are translated into USD using an approximation of the average rate prevailing during the period. We change the functional currency of our separate and distinct foreign entities only when significant changes in economic facts and circumstances indicate clearly that the functional currency has changed.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments, with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase, are considered to be cash equivalents.
Short-Term Investments	Short-Term InvestmentsWe classify our marketable securities as available-for-sale, which are reported at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of applicable taxes.  The fair value of marketable securities is determined by quoted market prices.  Realized gains and losses on sales of investments, as determined on the specific identification method, and declines in value of securities judged to be other-than-temporary are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.  Interest and dividends on all securities are included in interest income and other income (expense), respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had no short-term investments recorded on our consolidated balance sheets.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable We evaluate the collectibility of financial instruments based on our current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial instrument. The only significant financial instrument which creates exposure to credit losses are customer accounts receivables. We measure credit losses on uncollected accounts receivable through an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable which is based on a combination of factors including both historical collection experience and reasonable estimates that affect the expected collectibility of the receivable. These factors include historical bad debt experience, industry conditions of the customer or group of customers, geographical region, credit ratings and general market conditions. We group receivables together for purposes of estimating credit losses when customers have similar risk characteristics; otherwise, the estimation is performed on the individual receivable. This estimate is periodically adjusted when we become aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filing) or as a result of changes in the overall aging of accounts receivable. While we have a large number of customers that operate in diverse businesses and are geographically dispersed, a general economic downturn in any of the industry segments in which we operate could result in higher than expected defaults, and, therefore, the need to revise estimates for the provision for doubtful accounts could occur.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. For U.S. inventories, inventory costs are determined principally by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of inventory accounting while for international inventories, inventory costs are determined principally by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory accounting. Costs for other inventories have been determined principally by the average-cost method (primarily operating supplies, spare parts and maintenance parts). Elements of costs in inventories include raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Interest costs incurred to finance expenditures for major long-term construction projects are capitalized as part of the historical cost and included in property, plant and equipment and are depreciated over the useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter. Start-up costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred while the costs of significant improvements, which extend the useful life of the underlying asset, are capitalized. Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when conditions indicate that the carrying values of the assets may not be recoverable. Such impairment conditions include an extended period of idleness or a plan of disposal. If such impairment indicators are present or other factors exist that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, we determine whether impairment has occurred through the use of an undiscounted cash flow analysis at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. For our Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls, Epoxy and Winchester segments, the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist is the operating facility level or an appropriate grouping of operating facilities level. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured by the difference between the net book value of the assets and the estimated fair value of the related assets.
Leases	Leases In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02 “Leases,” (ASU 2016-02) which supersedes Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840 “Leases” and creates a new topic, ASC 842 “Leases” (ASC 842). Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-02, ASC 842 was amended by various updates that amend and clarify the impact and implementation of the aforementioned update. We adopted these updates on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method, which requires application of these updates beginning on the date of adoption with the cumulative effect of initially applying these updates recognized at the date of initial adoption. In addition, we elected the following practical expedients: • We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. • We elected the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing us to carry forward our accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements. • We elected the short-term practical expedient for all classes of lease assets, which allows us to not record leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet, and instead recognize the expense straight-line over the lease term. • We elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all asset classes. Adoption of these updates resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet of $291.9 million as of January 1, 2019. Our assets and liabilities for finance leases remained unchanged. We also recognized the cumulative effect of applying these updates as an adjustment to retained earnings of $11.2 million, net of tax, which was primarily related to the recognition of previously deferred sale/leaseback gains. Our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows, along with our compliance with all covenants and restrictions under all our outstanding credit agreements, were not impacted by this adoption. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. Our lease commitments are primarily for railcars, but also include logistics, manufacturing, storage, real estate and information technology assets. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; instead, we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We do not account for lease components (e.g., fixed payments to use the underlying lease asset) separately from the non-lease components (e.g., fixed payments for common-area maintenance costs and other items that transfer a good or service). Some of our leases include variable lease payments, which primarily result from changes in consumer price and other market-based indices, which are generally updated annually, and maintenance and usage charges. These variable payments are excluded from the calculation of our lease assets and liabilities. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to many years. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at our sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased asset. We do not include options to renew or purchase leased assets in the measurement of lease liabilities unless those options are highly certain of exercise. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. We have operating leases with terms that require us to guarantee a portion of the residual value of the leased assets upon termination of the lease as well as other guarantees. These residual value guarantees consist primarily of leases for railcars. Residual value guarantee payments that become probable and estimable are accrued as part of the lease liability and recognized over the remaining life of the applicable lease. Our current expectation is that the likelihood of material residual guarantee payments is remote. We utilize the interest rate implicit in the lease to determine the lease liability when the interest rate can be determined. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We estimate the incremental borrowing rate based on the geographic region for which we would borrow, on a secured basis of the lease asset, at an amount equal to the lease payments over a similar time period as the lease term. We have no additional restrictions or covenants imposed by our lease contracts.
Asset Retirement Obligations	Asset Retirement Obligations We record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset as a liability in the period incurred. The liability is measured at discounted fair value and is adjusted to its present value in subsequent periods as accretion expense is recorded. The corresponding asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset and depreciated over the asset’s useful life. Asset retirement obligations are reviewed annually in the fourth quarter and/or when circumstances or other events indicate that changes underlying retirement assumptions may have occurred. The activities of our asset retirement obligations were as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 ($ in millions) Beginning balance $ 65.0 $ 63.7 Accretion 3.2 3.4 Spending (8.1) (4.1) Foreign currency translation adjustments — 0.1 Adjustments 10.1 1.9 Ending balance $ 70.2 $ 65.0 At December 31, 2021 and 2020, our consolidated balance sheets included an asset retirement obligation of $56.8 million and $47.0 million, respectively, which were classified as other noncurrent liabilities. In 2021 and 2020, we had net adjustments that increased the asset retirement obligation by $10.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, which were primarily comprised of increases in estimated costs for certain assets.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Comprehensive Income (Loss) Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, pension and postretirement liability adjustments, pension and postretirement amortization of prior service costs and actuarial losses and net unrealized gains (losses) on derivative contracts.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and/or when circumstances or other events indicate that impairment may have occurred. ASC 350 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other” (ASC 350) permits entities to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the goodwill impairment test. Circumstances that are considered as part of the qualitative assessment and could trigger a quantitative impairment test include, but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in the business climate; a significant adverse legal judgment; adverse cash flow trends; an adverse action or assessment by a government agency; unanticipated competition; sustained decline in our stock price; and a significant restructuring charge within a reporting unit. We define reporting units at the business segment level or one level below the business segment level. For purposes of testing goodwill for impairment, goodwill has been allocated to our reporting units to the extent it relates to each reporting unit. It is our practice, at a minimum, to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter every three years. We use a discounted cash flow approach to develop the estimated fair value of a reporting unit when a quantitative test is performed. Management judgment is required in developing the assumptions for the discounted cash flow model. We also corroborate our discounted cash flow analysis by evaluating a market-based approach that considers earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) multiples from a representative sample of comparable public companies. As a further indicator that each reporting unit has been valued appropriately using a discounted cash flow model, the aggregate fair value of all reporting units is reconciled to the total market value of Olin. An impairment would be recorded if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeded the estimated fair value. See Note 10 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for additional information.
Intangible Assets	Intangible Assets In conjunction with our acquisitions, we have obtained access to the customer contracts and relationships, trade names, acquired technology and other intellectual property of the acquired companies. These relationships are expected to provide economic benefit for future periods. Amortization expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the related assets. The amortization period of customer contracts and relationships, trade names, acquired technology and other intellectual property represents our best estimate of the expected usage or consumption of the economic benefits of the acquired assets, which is based on the company’s historical experience.
Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures	Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures Accruals (charges to income) for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based upon current law and existing technologies. These amounts, which are not discounted and are exclusive of claims against third parties, are adjusted periodically as assessment and remediation efforts progress or additional technical or legal information becomes available. Environmental costs are capitalized if the costs increase the value of the property and/or mitigate or prevent contamination from future operations.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Deferred taxes are provided for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to offset deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the value of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of our business operations due to our purchases of certain commodities, our ongoing investing and financing activities and our operations that use foreign currencies. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. We have established policies and procedures governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage exposure to such risks. We use hedge accounting treatment for a significant amount of our business transactions whose risks are covered using derivative instruments. The hedge accounting treatment provides for the deferral of gains or losses on derivative instruments until such time as the related transactions occur.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk Accounts receivable is the principal financial instrument which subjects us to a concentration of credit risk. Credit is extended based upon the evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are somewhat limited due to our large number of customers, the diversity of these customers’ businesses and the geographic dispersion of such customers. Our accounts receivable are predominantly derived from sales denominated in USD or the Euro. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectibility of all trade receivables.
Fair Value	Fair Value Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties or the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (ASC 820), and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows: Level 1 — Inputs were unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2 — Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) were either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life. Level 3 — Inputs reflected management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration was given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
Retirement-Related Benefits	Retirement-Related Benefits We account for our defined benefit pension plans and non-pension postretirement benefit plans using actuarial models required by ASC 715 “Compensation—Retirement Benefits” (ASC 715). These models use an attribution approach that generally spreads the financial impact of changes to the plan and actuarial assumptions over the average remaining service lives of the employees in the plan. Changes in liability due to changes in actuarial assumptions such as discount rate, rate of compensation increases and mortality, as well as annual deviations between what was assumed and what was experienced by the plan are treated as actuarial gains or losses. The principle underlying the required attribution approach is that employees render service over their average remaining service lives on a relatively smooth basis and, therefore, the accounting for benefits earned under the pension or non-pension postretirement benefits plans should follow the same relatively smooth pattern. Substantially all domestic defined benefit pension plan participants are no longer accruing benefits; therefore, actuarial gains and losses are amortized based upon the remaining life expectancy of the inactive plan participants. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants in the domestic defined benefit pension plan were 17 years and 18 years, respectively. One of the key assumptions for the net periodic pension calculation is the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, used to determine the “market-related value of assets.” The “market-related value of assets” recognizes differences between the plan’s actual return and expected return over a five year period. The required use of an expected long-term rate of return on the market-related value of plan assets may result in recognized pension income that is greater or less than the actual returns of those plan assets in any given year. Over time, however, the expected long-term returns are designed to approximate the actual long-term returns and, therefore, result in a pattern of income and expense recognition that more closely matches the pattern of the services provided by the employees. As differences between actual and expected returns are recognized over five years, they subsequently generate gains and losses that are subject to amortization over the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive plan participants, as described in the preceding paragraph. We use long-term historical actual return information, the mix of investments that comprise plan assets, and future estimates of long-term investment returns and inflation by reference to external sources to develop the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets as of December 31. The discount rate assumptions used for pension and non-pension postretirement benefit plan accounting reflect the rates available on high-quality fixed-income debt instruments on December 31 of each year. The rate of compensation increase is based upon our long-term plans for such increases. For retiree medical plan accounting, we review external data and our own historical trends for healthcare costs to determine the healthcare cost trend rates.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, such as stock options, performance shares and restricted stock, based on the grant-date fair value of the award. This cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). An initial measurement is made of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of liability instruments based on its current fair value and the value of that award is subsequently remeasured at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value of liability awards during the requisite service period are recognized as compensation cost over that period. The fair value of each option granted, which typically vests ratably over three years, but not less than one year, was estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: 2021 2020 2019 Dividend yield 2.76 % 4.60 % 3.05 % Risk-free interest rate 0.94 % 1.44 % 2.51 % Expected volatility 44 % 36 % 34 % Expected life (years) 6.0 6.0 6.0 Weighted-average grant fair value (per option) $ 9.91 $ 3.64 $ 6.76 Weighted-average exercise price $ 28.99 $ 17.33 $ 26.26 Shares granted 1,154,700 2,663,100 1,578,200 Dividend yield was based on our current dividend yield as of the option grant date. Risk-free interest rate was based on zero coupon U.S. Treasury securities rates for the expected life of the options. Expected volatility was based on our historical stock price movements, as we believe that historical experience is the best available indicator of the expected volatility. Expected life of the option grant was based on historical exercise and cancellation patterns, as we believe that historical experience is the best estimate for future exercise patterns. Performance share awards are denominated in shares of our stock and are paid half in cash and half in stock. Payouts for performance share awards are based on two criteria: (1) 50% of the award is based on Olin’s total shareholder returns (TSR) over the applicable three-year performance cycle in relation to the TSR over the same period among a portfolio of public companies which are selected in concert with outside compensation consultants and (2) 50% of the award is based on Olin’s net income over the applicable three-year performance cycle in relation to the net income goal for such period as set by the compensation committee of Olin’s board of directors. The expense associated with performance shares is recorded based on our estimate of our performance relative to the respective target. The fair value of each performance stock award based on net income was estimated on the date of grant, using the current stock price. The fair value of each performance stock award based on TSR was estimated on the date of grant, using a Monte Carlo simulation model with the following weighted average assumptions: Grant date 2021 Risk-free interest rate 0.23 % Expected volatility of Olin common stock 55 % Expected average volatility of peer companies 50 % Average correlation coefficient of peer companies 0.50 Expected life (years) 3.0 Grant date fair value (TSR based award) $ 39.96 Grant date fair value (net income based award) $ 28.99 Awards granted 248,700 Risk-free interest rate was based on zero coupon U.S. Treasury securities rates for the expected life of the performance stock awards. Expected volatility of Olin common stock and peer companies was based on historical stock price movements, as we believe that historical experience is the best available indicator of the expected volatility. The average correlation coefficient of peer companies was determined based on historical trends of Olin’s common stock price compared to the peer companies. Expected life of the performance stock award grant was based on historical exercise and cancellation patterns, as we believe that historical experience is the best estimate of future exercise patterns.
Share Repurchases	Share RepurchasesUnder our share repurchase programs, we may pursue various share repurchase strategies, which include entering into accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreements with third-party financial institutions to repurchase shares of Olin’s common stock. Under an ASR agreement, Olin pays a specified amount to the financial institution and receives an initial delivery of shares. This initial delivery of shares represents the minimum number of shares that Olin may receive under the agreement. Upon settlement of the ASR agreement, the financial institution delivers additional shares, with the final number of shares delivered determined with reference to the volume weighted-average price of Olin’s common stock over the term of the agreement, less an agreed-upon discount. The transactions are accounted for as liability or equity transactions and also as share retirements, similar to our other share repurchase activity, when the shares are received, at which time there is an immediate reduction in the weighted-average common shares calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share.
