EXPLANATORY NOTE

On February 27, 2025, Arcadium Lithium plc (“Arcadium,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Original Form 10-K”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The Original Form 10-K omitted certain disclosures under Part III, Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Form 10-K in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which provides that such information may be either incorporated by reference from the registrant’s definitive proxy statement or included in an amendment to Form 10-K, in either case filed with the SEC not later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year.

On March 6, 2025, Rio Tinto Western Holdings Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England & Wales, and Rio Tinto BM Subsidiary Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England & Wales (together with Rio Tinto Western Holdings Limited, “Rio Tinto”), completed the acquisition of Arcadium by means of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under the Companies (Jersey) Law (the “Merger”). Upon the Merger, Arcadium became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rio Tinto. Unless indicated otherwise herein, the information in this Amendment No. 1 is presented as of March 5, 2025 and does not give effect to the Merger. Please refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by us on March 6, 2025 for further information about the Merger.

As a result of the acquisition by Rio Tinto, we will not have an annual meeting of our stockholders in 2025 and we will not file a related proxy statement. Accordingly, we are filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Original Form 10-K (this “Amendment No. 1”) solely to:

•

amend Part III, Items 10 (Directors, Executive Officers And Corporate Governance), 11 (Executive Compensation), 12 (Security Ownership Of Certain Beneficial Owners And Management And Related Stockholder Matters), 13 (Certain Relationships And Related Transactions, And Director Independence) and 14 (Principal Accountant Fees And Services) of the Original Form 10-K to include the information required to be disclosed under such Items;

•

delete the reference on the cover of the Original Form 10-K regarding the incorporation by reference into Part III of the Original Form 10-K of portions of our definitive proxy statement to be delivered to stockholders and filed with the SEC in connection with the 2025 annual meeting of our stockholders; and

•

file new certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as exhibits to this Amendment under Item 15 of Part IV hereof, pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

This Amendment No. 1 does not otherwise change or update any of the disclosures set forth in the Original Form 10-K, and, except as expressly stated herein, does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K. This Amendment No. 1 modifies and amends the Original Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K. References to “this Annual Report” contained in this Amendment No. 1 refer to the Original Form 10-K and this Amendment No. 1. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 1 have the meanings given to them in the Original Form 10-K. The term shareholder in relation to the Company means a member of the Company (as used in the Company’s Articles of Association).

On March 6, 2025, as a result of the consummation of the Merger and per our request, the New York Stock Exchange filed a Form 25 with the SEC to voluntarily delist our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange. We will file a Form 15 with the SEC to effect the deregistration of our common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Upon the filing of the Form 15, our obligations to file certain reports with the SEC, including reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, will immediately be suspended. Prior to the filing of such Form 15, SEC rules and regulations require the Company to first file this Amendment No. 1 in order to complete the Company’s Original Form 10-K and be current in its Exchange Act reporting obligations. After the filing of this Amendment No. 1, the Company no longer intends to file any reports under the Exchange Act.

ITEM 11.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

In accordance with SEC rules, this Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) describes the philosophy, objectives, process, components and additional aspects of the 2024 executive compensation program of the Company. This CD&A is intended to be read in conjunction with the tables that immediately follow this section, which provide further historical compensation information for the following named executive officers (“NEOs”), who were the executive officers of the Company in 2024:

Name		Title
Paul W. Graves		President and Chief Executive Officer
Gilberto Antoniazzi		Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Sara Ponessa		Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary
Barbara Fochtman (1)		Chief Operations Officer

(1)

On September 1, 2024, Ms. Fochtman was promoted to Chief Operations Officer and became an executive officer of the Company for the first time.

I.	EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Overview

The primary objectives of the Company’s executive compensation program are to:

•

Align executive interests with Company growth and shareholder returns;

•

Support and incentivize the executive team in an effort to help the Company achieve its primary business goals;

•

Attract and retain executives whose talents, expertise, leadership, and contributions are expected to build and sustain long-term shareholder value; and

•

Maintain a strong pay-for-performance orientation in the Company’s compensation program

•

Encourage executives to pursue business goals in ways that incorporate due consideration of risk.

In light of these objectives, the Company’s compensation plans are designed to reward executive officers for generating performance that achieves the Company and individual goals, and for increasing shareholder returns. When the Company falls short of achieving company and individual goals, the Company’s executive officers’ compensation will reflect that performance accordingly.

II.	COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

Pay-for-performance: The Company’s compensation program is designed to motivate its executive officers to achieve goals by closely linking their performance and the Company’s performance to the compensation they receive. As such, a significant portion of the total compensation of the Company’s executive officers is based on measures that support Company goals, as well as on the executive officer’s individual performance. To tighten this link, the Company defines clear and measurable quantitative and qualitative objectives that, in combination, are designed to improve the Company’s results and returns to stockholders.

Alignment of executive officers’ interests with those of Arcadium and its stockholders: A significant portion of the Company’s executive officers’ overall compensation is in the form of equity-based compensation. The Company uses equity as the form for long-term incentive opportunities in order to motivate and reward executive officers to deliver sustained long-term value to stockholders. Using equity for long-term incentives creates strong alignment between the interests of executive officers and those of stockholders, as it provides executive officers with a common interest with stockholders in stock price performance and it fosters an ownership culture among executive officers by making them stockholders with a personal stake in the value they are being motivated to create.

Provide market competitive pay to attract and retain talent: The Company has to compete in the market for executive talent. The Company seeks executive officers and managers to lead the business and carry out the strategy who have diverse experience, expertise, capabilities and backgrounds. In recruiting executive officers and determining competitive pay levels, the Company references the market median amounts and compensation structures of executive officers of the companies in the Company’s peer group and as shown in general industry surveys. Executive officers’ total compensation may deviate from the level referenced in the peer group or surveys in order to attract or retain certain individuals or reflect their respective characteristics or performance.

Table of Contents

Risk management: While the Company designs the executive compensation program to create incentives for executive officers to deliver high performance, the Company also simultaneously seeks to minimize risk by striving to reduce undue pressure on, or incentives for, executive officers to take excessive risks to achieve goals and receive rewards. The Company seeks to include mechanisms intended to mitigate such risk, including (i) placing maximum limits on short- and long-term incentive pay-outs and awards; (ii) measuring performance using key performance indicators that by design have lower potential to promote excessive risk-taking; (iii) utilizing a mix of equity vehicles with longer term vesting; (iv) requiring the clawback of compensation payments under certain plans or in certain circumstances; and (v) maintaining executive officer stock ownership guidelines.

III.	COMPENSATION DETERMINATION PROCESS

Role of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee establishes the compensation philosophy and objectives, determines the structure, components and other elements of executive compensation, and reviews and approves the compensation of the NEOs,

The Compensation Committee structures the executive compensation program to accomplish articulated compensation objectives in light of the compensation philosophy described above.

In accordance with its charter, the Compensation Committee establishes total compensation for the CEO. The Compensation Committee reviews and evaluates the performance of the CEO and develops base salary and incentive compensation recommendations. The CEO does not play any role with respect to any matter affecting his own compensation,

With the input of the CEO, the Compensation Committee also establishes the compensation for all the other executive officers. As part of this process, the CEO evaluates the market competitiveness of the various components of compensation at least annually and the performance of the other executive officers annually and makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the compensation of each executive officer. The CEO’s input was particularly important in connection with setting base salaries and the determination of each executive officer’s individual goals under the annual incentive plan. The Compensation Committee gives significant weight to the CEO’s recommendations in light of his greater familiarity with the day-to-day performance of his direct reports and the importance of incentive compensation in driving the execution of managerial initiatives developed and led by the CEO. Nevertheless, the Compensation Committee makes the ultimate determination regarding the compensation for the executive officers.

Pursuant to its charter, the Compensation Committee is permitted to delegate its authority to subcommittees, other than any power or authority required by law or stock exchange requirements to be exercised by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee.

Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee recognizes the importance of obtaining objective, independent expertise and advice in carrying out its responsibilities. The Compensation Committee has the power to retain an independent compensation consultant to assist it in the performance of its duties and responsibilities.

The Compensation Committee retained Aon’s Human Capital Solutions practice, a division of Aon, as its independent compensation consultant. Aon reported directly to the Compensation Committee, and the Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain, terminate and obtain the advice of Aon at the Company’s expense. The Compensation Committee selected Aon as its consultant because of the firm’s expertise and experience.

In 2024, the Compensation Committee worked with Aon to: (i) assess the executive compensation philosophy, objectives and components; (ii) review considerations, market practices, and trends related to short-term annual incentive plans and long-term equity and other incentive plans; (iii) collect comparative compensation levels for each of the executive officer positions, as needed; and (iv) review the equity compensation strategy.

While the Compensation Committee took into consideration the review and recommendations of Aon when making decisions about the 2024 executive compensation program, ultimately, the Compensation Committee made its own independent decisions about compensation matters.

Table of Contents

The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of Aon pursuant to SEC and NYSE rules. In doing so, the Compensation Committee considered each of the factors set forth by the SEC and the NYSE with respect to a compensation consultant’s independence. The Compensation Committee also considered the nature and the amount of work performed for the Compensation Committee and the fees paid for those services in relation to the firm’s total revenues. Based on its consideration of the foregoing and other relevant factors, the Compensation Committee concluded that there were no conflicts of interest, and that Aon is independent.

For 2024, in determining the independence of Aon, the Compensation Committee considered independence in light of the independence factors set forth in the SEC rules and NYSE listing standards. In total, fees paid to Aon during 2024 for services not related to Aon’s work with the Compensation Committee, such as global commercial risk brokerage services, were approximately $2,058,000. The engagement of Aon to perform such other services was recommended by management and was reviewed by the Compensation Committee, including as part of its review of Aon’s independence. Fees paid to Aon during 2024 for services related to recommending the amount and form of executive and director compensation were approximately $483,000.

In terms of assessing independence, the Compensation Committee also gave credit to the safeguards that Aon’s executive compensation practice has put in place to maintain its independence. The Compensation Committee also considered that no business or personal relationships exist between any members of the consultants’ teams advising the Company on the one hand, and the Company, any members of the Compensation Committee or any executive officers on the other hand, other than in connection with the services provided. Therefore, the Compensation Committee has concluded that Aon is independent, as no conflict of interest exists between Aon and the Company.

Executive Compensation Competitive Market Information

In establishing the executive compensation program for the Company following the completion of the Livent-Allkem Merger, the Compensation Committee believed that obtaining relevant market data was important, because it served as a reference point for making decisions and provided very helpful context. When making decisions about the 2024 executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee considered the structure and components of, and the amounts paid under, the executive compensation programs of other comparable peer companies, as derived from public filings and other sources.

The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of Aon, its independent compensation consultant, developed a peer group in January 2024 for purposes of evaluating 2024 compensation. The criteria used to determine the peer group included: companies in the chemicals and mining sectors with a geographic representation predominantly U.S.-based with a representative inclusion of Australian domiciled companies, revenue in the range of 1/4 to 4 times the estimated Company revenue, and consistent with the peer groups utilized by Livent and Allkem historically.

Based on these criteria and considerations, the peer group selected for decisions relating to 2024 executive compensation, as approved by the Compensation Committee, consisted of the following 17 companies:

Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB)	H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE: FUL)	Pilbara Mineral Limited (ASX: PLS)
Ashland Inc. (NYSE: ASH)	Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN)	Quaker Chemical Corporation (NYSE: KWR)
Avient Corporation (NYSE: AVNT)	Incitec Pivot Limited (ASX: IPL)	Sensient Technologies Corporation (NYSE: SXT)
Cabot Corporation (NYSE: CBT)	Mineral Resources Limited (ASX: MIN)	South32 Limited (ASX: S32)
Coronado Global Resources Inc. (ASX: CRN)	NewMarket Corporation (NYSE: NEU)	Westlake Corporation (NYSE: WLK)
Element Solutions Inc.(NYSE: ESI)	Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM)

In addition to the criteria above, the Compensation Committee also referenced general and specific industry surveys from other sources. The Compensation Committee determined that the appropriate market reference continued to be the 50th percentile. The market data are used as a reference point and to provide information on the range of competitive pay levels and current compensation practices in the Company’s industry.

The Compensation Committee believed that the compensation practices of the peer group provided it with appropriate compensation reference points for evaluating the 2024 compensation of the NEOs.

IV.	COMPENSATION PROGRAM COMPONENTS

2024 Components in General

The Compensation Committee selected the components of compensation set forth in the chart below to achieve the Company’s executive compensation program objectives. The Compensation Committee reviewed all components of the program to verify that each executive officer’s total compensation was consistent with the compensation philosophy and objectives and that the component served a purpose in supporting the execution of the strategy. Taking into consideration the 2024 grants of equity to the CEO and other NEOs, the majority of each executive officer’s compensation was variable and at-risk.

Long-term incentive equity awards are prospective in nature and intended to tie a substantial portion of an executive’s pay to creating long-term stockholder value. The Compensation Committee structured the 2024 long-term incentive opportunity with stock options and RSUs in order to motivate executive officers to achieve multi-year goals and deliver sustained long-term value to stockholders, and to reward them for doing so.

Element	Description	Additional Detail
Base Salary	Fixed cash compensation. Determined based on each executive officer’s role, individual skills, experience, performance, and external market value.	Base salaries are intended to provide stable compensation to executive officers, allow the Company to attract and retain skilled executive talent and maintain a stable leadership team.
Short-Term Incentives: Annual Cash Incentive Opportunities	Variable cash compensation based on the level of achievement of pre-determined annual corporate and individual goals. 65% of the award is based on corporate objectives and 35% is based on individual measures. For the corporate objectives and individual measures, cash incentives are capped at a maximum of 200% of each NEO’s target opportunity. Performance against the corporate objectives must exceed a threshold level of performance in order to earn any credit toward a payout with respect to that goal.	Annual cash incentive opportunities are designed to ensure that executive officers are motivated to achieve the Company’s annual goals; payout levels are generally determined based on actual results and achievements, and individual goals specific to each NEO.
Long-Term Incentives: Annual Equity-Based Compensation	Variable equity-based compensation. Stock Options: Right to purchase shares at a price equal to the stock price on the grant date with annual vesting over three years. RSUs: Restricted stock units that are time-based with annual vesting over three years.	Designed to motivate and reward executive officers to achieve multi-year goals and to deliver sustained long-term value to stockholders, as well as to attract and retain executive officers. Links with stockholder value creation and aligns with stockholders.

2024 Target Pay Mix

The target pay mix supported the core principles of the Company’s executive compensation philosophy of pay for performance and aligning executive officers’ interests with those of the Company and its shareholders, by emphasizing short- and long-term incentives.

A sizeable majority of target total direct compensation was variable, at-risk pay, consistent with the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy. Specifically, in 2024, 83% of the CEO’s target total direct compensation was at-risk compensation, and 69%, on average, of the target total direct compensation of the other NEOs was at-risk compensation. The Company considers compensation to be “at risk” if it is subject to performance-based payment or vesting conditions or if its value depended on stock price appreciation. Time-based RSUs are not considered to be “at risk.”

The percentages of target total direct compensation as calculated above are based on the annualized 2024 base salary, the 2024 annual cash incentive compensation opportunity (assuming achievement at the target level), and the grant date fair value of the annual equity grants.

Table of Contents

Base Salary

Base salaries provide fixed compensation to the Company’s executive officers and help to attract and retain the executive talent needed to lead the business and maintain a stable leadership team. Base salaries are individually determined according to each executive officer’s areas of responsibility, role and experience, and vary among executive officers based on a variety of considerations, including skills, experience, achievements and the competitive market for the position.

Following the formation of the Company, the Compensation Committee set the 2024 base salaries of the NEOs to be market competitive pay and aligned with the range of the median, as determined by reference to comparable positions at the peer group companies.

NEO	2024 Base Salary		2023 Livent Base Salary		% Change

Paul W. Graves	$	1,033,331	$	860,000		20.2	%
Gilberto Antoniazzi	$	551,852	$	450,000		22.6	%
Sara Ponessa	$	495,573	$	390,000		27.1	%
Barbara Fochtman (1)	$	525,000		N/A		N/A

(1)	Ms. Fochtman was not a NEO in 2023. Ms. Fochtman received a base salary increase of $55,113 or 11.7% on September 1, 2024 in connection with her promotion to Chief Operations Officer.

Annual Incentive Plan

The annual incentive plan for executive officers is a cash-based plan that rewards NEOs for the achievement of key short-term objectives.

In the first year of being a new company representing the combination of Livent and Allkem, and implementing the integration, the Compensation Committee designed the 2024 plan to have simplicity, as well as to recognize the effects of current market prices for our products by emphasizing other key objectives. The structure of the 2024 annual cash plan incentivized NEOs to achieve operational results viewed as critical to the execution of our business strategy.

For the NEOs, the amount of the payout, if any, under the annual incentive plan was based on achievement against multiple categories of performance measures: Company Objectives and Individual Objectives. For 2024, Company objectives represent 65% of the total opportunity and individual objectives represent 35%.

Target Opportunities

The Compensation Committee determined a target cash incentive opportunity for each NEO under the annual cash incentive plan by taking the individual’s base salary and multiplying it by the individual’s target incentive percentage. The Compensation Committee approved the target incentive percentages for the NEOs in 2024 based on their performance and alignment with the market median for the position.

	2024 Threshold Level Opportunity			2024 Target Level Opportunity (as % of Applicable Base Salary)			2024 Maximum Level Opportunity (as % of Applicable Base Salary)
Paul W. Graves		0	%		110	%		220	%
Gilberto Antoniazzi		0	%		80	%		160	%
Sara Ponessa		0	%		75	%		150	%
Barbara Fochtman		0	%		75	%		150	%

Company Objectives

The amount of the payout, if any, under the Company Objectives component of the Annual Incentive Plan was based on the Company’s five key operational goals:

Metric	Weight	Metric Description
Integration and Synergy Savings	25%	Synergy Savings Included in 2024 Budget
Base Volumes	20%	Olaroz (Argentina) Operations, Fenix (Argentina) Operations, Mt. Cattlin (Australia) Mine (Lithium Carbonate, Lithium Chloride, Spodumene Concentrate)
Ramp Up Volumes	20%	Olaroz II (Argentina) Expansion, Fenix 1A (Argentina) Expansion (Lithium Carbonate)
Expansion Project Progress & Project Governance	20%	Sal De Vida 1, Fenix 1B, James Bay, ALCAPS: Management system designed as best practice for the execution of capital projects.
Safety and Quality	15%	Safety Goals: (Integration and implementation of a combined safety organization and process with key metrics focusing on adherence to guidelines and timely investigations and overdue actions) Quality Goals (Customer Feedback; Operationalize Center Led Organization)

Integration and Synergy Savings. At the beginning of 2024, Livent and Allkem closed their merger of equals, with the goal of combining their highly complementary range of assets, growth projects, and operating skills across extraction and processing under a vertically integrated business model with the scale and expertise to meet the rapidly growing demand for lithium chemical products. An important part of capitalizing on the benefits of the Livent-Allkem Merger was to optimize efficiencies. This savings goal was aligned with the value at the middle of the range of synergies and cost savings communicated to investors in February 2024, which considered savings from procurement, vendor harmonization, streamlining activities, bringing matters in-house, headcount and other reductions, and was rigorous and challenging.

Base Volumes. A key post-merger goal for 2024 was safely delivering on base volume targets for lithium carbonate, lithium chloride and spodumene production. Doing so involved focusing on daily production quantity and optimizing production based on a maintenance and reliability operating model. The target was aggressive.

Ramp Up Volumes. Another key goal important to delivering on the promise of the merger was meeting ramp up volume targets for two lithium carbonate expansion projects. They were aggressive targets, considering the nature of what is involved in ramping up volumes, such as commissioning, securing inputs like gas and water, and start up processes themselves. All of these matters are subject to more variability as a result of outside factors.

Progress on Expansion Projects and Governance. The Compensation Committee included expansion project goals in 2024 in order to focus executive officers on the critical strategic priority of delivering progress on key projects and improving project execution and efficiencies. Achieving these goals helps to grow Arcadium’s ability to increase capacity and produce more lithium products. The metrics for the three expansion projects related to mechanical completion expected timing and capital forecast at completion. The targets, which were aggressive, took into account timing adjustments arising as a result of market prices for lithium products.

Safety and Quality Goals. The Compensation Committee views the safety of our employees and operations and the quality of the products we produce as paramount. To incentivize executive officers to prioritize safety, one safety goal is to complete at least 90% of investigations into key safety incidents within 30 days, in part to understand root cause and take actions to mitigate safety risks and drive improvements to safety. The other safety goal focuses on reducing the proportion of overdue environmental health and safety action items to 5%, in order to motivate executive officers to complete recommended actions in as timely a manner as possible. With respect to quality goals, the first focuses on the number of customer complaints, and the second focuses on operationalizing a post-merger integrated center-led quality organization with standardized systems, policies and measurements.

Target, Threshold and Maximum Performance Levels

The Compensation Committee set the performance metric targets at levels that it considered rigorous and challenging and that took into account the relevant risks and opportunities. More specifically, the Compensation Committee reviewed the relevant operational goals in light of the Company’s plans, and assessed various factors related to the achievability of these targets, including the risks associated with various macroeconomic factors, and the risks of achieving specific actions that underlie the targets.

Considering these factors, the Compensation Committee set the 2024 targets for the Company Objectives at levels or with timing in accordance with the Company’s strategic and operational plans.

Having set the targets, the Compensation Committee also set the threshold and maximum performance levels for the Company Objectives. The threshold level of performance generally involves achieving the goal later or in a lower amount, and maximum performance generally involves achieving it sooner or in a higher amount.

Payout Levels

Payout levels represent the amount to be paid to NEOs based on the level of actual performance relative to the goals. In order to motivate performance and underscore the importance of achieving, or closely approaching, the performance goals at this critical time in the Company’s development, the Compensation Committee set the payout at 0% for achievement below the threshold level of performance. For performance between the threshold level and target level, the payout ranges from 0% of the target opportunity to 100% of the target opportunity and for performance between the target level and the maximum level, the payout ranges from 100% of the target opportunity to 200% of the target opportunity. Achievement above the maximum level is capped at the maximum payout of 200% of target.

2024 Achievements for Company Objectives

The table below sets forth the 2024 performance goals for the Company Objectives and the Company’s achievement against these goals in 2024, including the Compensation Committee’s assessment of achievement of the expansion project goals against the targets.

Company Objective	Relative Weighting (%)	Target	Actual Result	Payout Achievement (%)*	Weighted Achievement (%)**
Integration and Synergy Savings	25%	$70 million	$72 million	110%	28%
Base Volumes	20%	48.3 thousand metric tons of lithium carbonate equivalents	Above target	179%	36%
Ramp Up Volumes	20%	14.3 thousand metric tons of lithium carbonate equivalents	Below threshold	0%	0%
Expansion Projects	20%	Sal De Vida 1, MdA 1B and Galaxy (James Bay) projects: mechanical completion and forecast production on track for timely completion; ALCAPS content: 80% complete	Mechanical completion was achieved with the Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) while SDV 1 is forecast to complete on schedule and other projects remain on schedule; ALCAPS content was deemed complete at a level between threshold and target	140%	28%

Safety and Quality	15%	90% of investigations of significant potential incidents and high potential near misses completed in 30 days; reducing the proportion of overdue environmental health and safety action items to 5%; reducing the number of customer complaints; operationalizing an integrated center-led quality organization	Investigations completed at a level between threshold and target; proportion of overdue actions between target and max; the number of customer complaints was well below target; center-led quality organization fully operational	150%	23%
Total Weighted Average Achievement Percentage					114%

*The payout achievement for Ramp Up Volumes was 0% because production fell below 70% of target (threshold).

The Weighted Average includes slight rounding, the total approved by the Compensation Committee is 114%.

Individual Objectives

The Compensation Committee also established Individual Objectives under the annual incentive plan, which represented 35% of the annual incentive target opportunity. The Individual Objectives were set in the beginning of 2024, following the completion of the Livent-Allkem Merger, and were designed to align with the Company’s strategic and operating initiatives. NEOs were eligible to receive anywhere between 0% - 200% of target for this portion of the award, based on performance against individual goals.

For the Individual Objectives component, the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Graves, Mr. Antoniazzi, Ms. Ponessa, and Ms. Fochtman each earned 170% of their individual targets, based on their respective levels of achievement of the goals described below:

Mr. Graves:

Following the merger of Allkem and Livent in early January 2024, Mr. Graves led the launch of the new Arcadium Lithium brand and the integration of the new combined company, driving operational, process, and cultural harmonization across the organization. Under his leadership, the organization maintained a strong focus on safety, quality, and reliability across operations, consistently meeting high standards. Mr. Graves guided the advancement of Arcadium’s capital expansions and led the organization in defining a clear vision and roadmap for significant long-term growth and value creation for shareholders, as presented in the company’s first Investor Day in September. Additionally, he directed efforts to drive more predictable profitability by refining the strategic customer portfolio, optimizing both short and long-term contracting strategies and implementing greater financial and cost discipline. Mr. Graves also focused on building organizational capability and shaping a culture centered on growth, accountability, career opportunities, and inclusion. These efforts positioned Arcadium for long-term success and ultimately led to the successful negotiation of the sale of Arcadium to Rio Tinto.

Mr. Antoniazzi:

In 2024, Mr. Antoniazzi successfully converted Allkem’s financial reporting process to comply with a quarterly US GAAP reporting cycle, to enable timely and accurate financial reporting. Mr. Antoniazzi also implemented a cash flow forecasting process and effectively managed global cash funding, moving cash across various locations securely and within corporate guidelines. In investor relations, he navigated the challenge of developing effective communication with Australian investors and analysts, despite the difficulties posed by a primary US listing. His focus on synergies led to the swift establishment of a new spending culture within the Company, reflecting market challenges. Mr. Antoniazzi also played a key role in the negotiations which ultimately led to the acquisition of the Company by Rio Tinto.

Ms. Ponessa:

In 2024, Ms. Ponessa played a key role in the execution of legal and compliance tasks during the merger, achieving significant cost savings and setting a standard for efficiency. She managed high-priority contracts and strategic transactions, contributed to the Company’s long-term plan, and supported ESG initiatives with proactive compliance guidance, leading to positive investor outcomes. Ms. Ponessa’s focus on talent development improved leadership and strategic thinking within the team, while her effective onboarding of the post-merger board and handling of complex governance issues reinforced strong corporate governance. Ms. Ponessa also played a key role in the negotiations which ultimately led to the acquisition of the Company by Rio Tinto.

Table of Contents

Ms. Fochtman:

In 2024, Ms. Fochtman drove operations and integration across center-led functions, achieved significant cost savings, and enhanced safety, quality, and reliability. She successfully led organizational design changes, implemented best practices in procurement, and influenced headcount efficiencies. Ms. Fochtman also focused on talent development and retention, ensuring minimal impact on key talent during reductions in force. Her efforts in standardizing transportation safety and improving customer complaint rates further contributed to the Company’s success. Additionally, she played a crucial role in the Li Metal acquisition and integration, as well as other strategic transactions and events including the acquisition of the Company by Rio Tinto.

Payout Determination

As described above, the Compensation Committee verified achievement relative to the targets for the Company Objectives and the Individual Objectives to determine the respective performance levels. The Compensation Committee then added the amounts for the two portions together to determine the total 2024 annual incentive plan payout for each NEO. The Compensation Committee then presented the determination of the annual incentive plan payout amounts to the Board for its review.

The total payout under the Annual Incentive Plan for each NEO for 2024 is reflected in the table below.

Long-Term Incentives

The third and largest component of the executive compensation program is long-term equity incentives. Long-term equity incentive awards are prospective in nature and intended to tie a substantial portion of an executive’s pay to creating long-term stockholder value. The Compensation Committee designed the long-term incentive opportunity to motivate and reward executive officers to achieve multi-year strategic goals and to deliver sustained long-term value to stockholders. The long-term incentives create a strong link between payouts and performance, and a strong alignment between the interests of executive officers and the interests of the Company’s stockholders. Long-term equity incentives also promote retention, because executive officers will only receive value if they remain employed over the required term, and they foster an ownership culture among executive officers by making them stockholders with a personal stake in the value they are intended to create.

Equity Vehicles and Mix: Stock Options and RSUs

The mix of long-term incentives granted to the NEOs in 2024 is shown below:

Equity Vehicle	2024 Allocation	Vesting Period	How Value is Delivered	Rationale for Use
Stock Options	• 50%	• Equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries • Exercise price: closing price on grant date • 10-year term	• Share price appreciation	• Prioritizes increasing shareholder value • Promotes long-term focus
RSUs	• 50%	• Equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries	• Value of stock	• Aligns with stockholders • Promotes retention • Provides value even during periods of stock price or market underperformance

The Compensation Committee structured the mix of equity vehicles and the relative weight assigned to each type of award for the following reasons: 1) to motivate stock price appreciation over the long term through stock options, which deliver value only if the stock price increases, and 2) to ensure some amount of value delivery through the RSUs, which were complementary because they have upside potential but deliver some value even during periods of stock price underperformance, while also reinforcing an ownership culture and commitment to the Company.

In addition, at the time that the Company was developing the fiscal year 2024 budget plan, it was difficult to set appropriate long-term targets for a newly formed company. To address this temporary issue, the Compensation Committee determined to omit performance-based equity with pre-determined goals in 2024. In the Compensation Committee’s view, granting options and RSUs provided sufficient long-term incentive in the year in which the merger closed, and kept the strong pay for performance alignment of the program. All equity awards were granted under the Arcadium Lithium plc Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Long-Term Incentive Opportunities

The Compensation Committee established long-term incentive opportunities for each of the NEOs in February 2024, considering the following:

•

the values of, allocations to, and proportion of total compensation represented by, the long-term incentive opportunities at the peer group companies;

•

individual performance and criticality of, and expected future contributions of the NEO;

•

time in role, skills and experience; and

•

retention considerations.

2024 Grants of Stock Options and RSUs

As described above, the Compensation Committee established the mix of equity vehicles for 2024 as 50% stock options and 50% RSUs.

In determining the number of options awarded to meet the compensation level approved for an NEO, the portion of the award value related to stock options was divided by the Black-Scholes value on the date of grant.

The exercise price of all stock option awards to NEOs was equal to the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. The stock options vest in equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of the grant.

In determining the amount of RSUs awarded to meet the compensation level approved for an NEO, the portion of the award value related to restricted stock units was divided by the closing stock price on the date of grant.

Table of Contents

The RSUs also vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

2024 Grants

NEO	Target Value ($)		Stock Options ($)		Stock Options (#)		RSUs ($)		RSUs (#)
Paul W. Graves		3,871,948		1,935,974		1,013,599		1,935,974		391,106
Gilberto Antoniazzi		990,000		495,000		259,163		495,000		100,000

Promotion Equity Award

In recognition of her promotion and increased job responsibilities, the Compensation Committee approved a special grant for Ms. Fochtman of 18,451 RSUs and 45,046 options on September 1, 2024, the date of her formal appointment as Chief Operations Officer. These RSUs and options vest in equal annual installments over three (3) years.

Retention Bonuses: Livent-Allkem Merger

On July 18, 2023, the Compensation Compensation Committee of Livent approved a retention program for select Livent employees. Pursuant to the retention program, each of Mr. Antoniazzi, Ms. Ponessa and Ms. Fochtman received a retention bonus of $250,000, paid on the 12-month anniversary of the completion of the merger (i.e., January 4, 2025), Mr. Graves did not receive any retention bonus under the retention program. In connection with the anticipated closing of the Arcadium-Rio Tinto Merger, the Compensation Committee approved the acceleration of the payment of these bonuses to December 2024. In order for the executive to receive the accelerated benefits, each executive was required to enter into an agreement stating they would be required to repay (on an after-tax basis) any such accelerated, but unearned, amounts.

Transaction and Retention Bonuses: Proposed Arcadium-Rio Tinto Merger

On October 9, 2024, Arcadium entered into a Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with Rio Tinto Western Holdings Limited and Rio Tinto BM Subsidiary Limited, pursuant to which Rio Tinto BM Subsidiary Limited would acquire the Company in a transaction, which is referred to as the “Arcadium-Rio Tinto Merger.”

Under the Transaction Agreement, Arcadium has established a transaction bonus program providing for cash-based transaction bonuses (the “Transaction Bonus Program”), provided that no individual transaction bonus granted shall exceed 75% of the applicable grantee’s annual base salary. Awards under the Transaction Bonus Program have become payable as of the closing of the Arcadium-Rio Tinto Merger (the “closing”).

In addition, Arcadium has established a retention program in connection with the Arcadium-Rio Tinto Merger providing for cash-based retention bonuses (the “Retention Program”), provided that no individual retention bonus amount shall exceed 75% of the applicable grantee’s annual base salary. Awards under the Retention Program may vest and become payable on the date that is either six (6) months or twelve (12) months following the closing (or a combination thereof), subject to the grantee’s continued service through such date, or upon the grantee’s termination of employment (x) by Arcadium without “cause” or (y) except as noted above, in the case of employees who as of the closing hold Arcadium equity awards, due to the employee’s resignation for “good reason” after the closing.

On November 15, 2024, the Compensation Committee approved awards under the Transaction Bonus Program and Retention Program for each of Arcadium’s executive officers. Each of Messrs. Graves and Antoniazzi and Ms. Ponessa and Ms. Fochtman received (1) a retention bonus award of $100,000, payable on the date that is 6 months following the closing and (2) a transaction bonus of $200,000, payable on the date of the closing, each subject to his or her continued service through the payment date or the earlier termination of his or her service by Arcadium without “cause.” Unpaid transaction bonuses and retention bonuses awarded to Arcadium’s executive officers will be forfeited upon a resignation of employment, including a resignation for “good reason.” In connection with the anticipated closing of the Arcadium-Rio Tinto Merger, the Compensation Committee approved the acceleration of the payment of these bonuses to December 2024. In order for the executive to receive the accelerated benefits, each executive was required to enter into an agreement stating they would be required to repay (on an after-tax basis) any such accelerated, but unearned, amounts.

Table of Contents

Treatment of Outstanding Equity

The Transaction Agreement provides that Arcadium equity awards that are outstanding immediately prior to the closing will be subject to the following treatment as of the closing:

•

Each outstanding Arcadium stock option will be exchanged for an option to purchase a number of applicable Rio Tinto shares determined by multiplying (i) the number of Arcadium Shares subject to such stock option by (ii) the Equity Award Conversion Ratio (as defined below), rounded down to the nearest whole share. Such stock option will have a per-share exercise price determined by dividing (i) the exercise price per Arcadium share at which such Arcadium stock option was exercisable immediately prior to the closing by (ii) the Equity Award Conversion Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The vesting of the first tranche of Arcadium stock options was accelerated from the anticipated closing in March 2025 to December 19, 2024.

•

Each other outstanding Arcadium RSU will be exchanged for a number of restricted stock units with respect to a number of the applicable Rio Tinto shares equal to the number of Arcadium shares subject to such Arcadium RSU multiplied by the Equity Award Conversion Ratio. The vesting of the first tranche of Arcadium RSUs was accelerated from the anticipated closing in March 2025 to December 19, 2024. The vesting of the last tranche of 2022 legacy Livent RSUs was also accelerated from February 2025 to December 19, 2024.

The “Equity Award Conversion Ratio” is defined as the quotient obtained by dividing (i) $5.85 by (ii) the average volume weighted average price of the applicable share of either Rio Tinto plc or Rio Tinto Limited, as applicable, for the thirty consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day preceding the closing.

Each equity award issued in exchange for an Arcadium equity award will be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the underlying Arcadium equity award immediately prior to the closing. Pursuant to the terms of Arcadium stock options and Arcadium RSUs held by Arcadium’s executive officers, if the executive officer is terminated without “cause” or resigns for “good reason” within two years following the closing, all outstanding Arcadium equity awards granted by Arcadium to the executive officer shall accelerate and vest in full. Pursuant to the terms of Arcadium stock options and Arcadium RSUs which were originally granted by Livent prior to the consummation of the Livent-Allkem Merger and were assumed in such transaction, if the executive officer is terminated without “cause” or resigns for “good reason” within two years of the consummation of the Livent-Allkem Merger, such awards shall accelerate and vest in full.

Post-Employment Compensation

Qualified and Non-Qualified Defined Contribution Plans

The Company offers a tax-qualified 401(k) defined contribution plan (the “Qualified Savings Plan”) covering substantially all U.S. employees, including the NEOs. Eligible employees are permitted to make voluntary pre-tax and post-tax contributions to the Qualified Savings Plan and are eligible for matching company contributions. The Qualified Savings Plan also permits discretionary Company contributions. All contributions to the Qualified Savings Plan are subject to certain limitations under the Internal Revenue Code.

The Company also offers a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Nonqualified Savings Plan”) that is available to certain highly compensated individuals, including the NEOs. The Nonqualified Savings Plan is designed to mirror the Qualified Savings Plan, but without application of the Internal Revenue Code limits. The Company’s matching contribution under both plans is 80% of the amount deferred up to a maximum of 5% of eligible earnings (i.e., base salary and annual incentive paid in a calendar year). However, the matching contribution under both plans cannot exceed 4% of an NEO’s total eligible earnings. The Company’s non-elective employer contributions under both plans (the “core contribution”) is 5% of an employee’s eligible earnings. However, Mr. Antoniazzi is eligible for an enhanced core contribution of 15% of his eligible earnings based on his prior participation in an FMC predecessor plan (as described below). An employee must be employed as of the last day of the plan year (i.e., December 31st) to receive the core contribution. Shares held under the Nonqualified Savings Plan were converted to cash, based on the merger consideration pursuant to the Merger.

Pension Benefits

The Company does not maintain a qualified or non-qualified defined benefit pension plan. However, prior to Livent’s separation from FMC, Mr. Antoniazzi earned pension benefits as a participant in the FMC Retirement Salaried and Non-Union Hourly Employees’ Retirement Plan and the FMC Salaried Employees’ Equivalent Plan (collectively, the “FMC Pension Plans”). Mr. Antoniazzi ceased earning any additional benefits under the FMC Pension Plans effective December 31, 2018. To compensate for the pension benefits that otherwise would have been earned under the FMC Pension Plans, Mr. Antoniazzi will be eligible for special “short-fall” contributions under Livent’s Nonqualified Savings Plan. Subject to continuing employment, Mr. Antoniazzi receives an annual contribution of $68,000 to his Nonqualified Savings Plan account beginning in 2022 and continuing through 2029.

Severance Arrangements

Following the close of the Livent-Allkem Merger and formation of the Company, the Company adopted Executive Severance Guidelines (the “Severance Guidelines”), which provide for the payment of severance pay and benefits in the event of an executive’s termination of employment without cause (other than in connection with a change in control of the Company or as a result of death, disability or normal retirement). No NEO has a contractual entitlement to any severance pay or benefits under the Severance Guidelines, and the Compensation Committee has discretion to enhance or reduce the severance pay or benefits under the Severance Guidelines in any specific case. As a condition to receiving any severance pay or benefits under the Severance Guidelines, the NEO is required to execute a release of claims in favor of the Company, as well as a non-solicitation, non-competition and confidentiality agreement.

See “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control,” which describes the payments to which the participating NEOs are entitled under the Severance Guidelines.

Change in Control Arrangements

The Compensation Committee believes that the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders are best served by providing reasonable income protection for NEOs to address potential change in control situations in which they may otherwise be distracted by their potential loss of employment in the event of a successful transaction. The Company entered into an executive severance agreement with each NEO that provides certain financial benefits in the event of a change in control. These are “double trigger” arrangements – i.e., severance benefits under these arrangements are only triggered by a qualifying event that also results in the executive’s termination of employment under certain specified circumstances within 24 months following the event.

In addition, under the terms of the Company’s equity awards, if a change in control occurs and those awards are not assumed or continued by the successor or surviving corporation, or if the holder experiences a qualifying termination of employment within 24 months of a change in control, the unvested portion of any outstanding awards generally vests and becomes exercisable, as applicable.

See “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control,” below for further information.

Health and Welfare Benefits

The Company offers broad-based medical, dental, vision, life, and disability plans to all employees.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

The Company does not generally provide executive officers, including the NEOs, with perquisites or other personal benefits, except for financial and tax advisory services, reserved parking, reimbursement for public transportation expenses, annual executive physicals, and, in the case of the CEO, a club membership. The perquisites and personal benefits summarized above are provided because the Company believes that they support executive officers, serve a necessary business purpose, and the related amounts of compensation are not material to the overall executive compensation program. In order to govern the provision of these perquisites, the Company established an executive perquisite policy. The methodology for setting maximum perquisite levels is driven primarily by competitive practice, business necessity and financial considerations of the Company. The costs of these items are reported in the Summary Compensation Table.

We do not provide excise tax “gross-ups” to any executive officers.

V.	ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES

Clawback Policy

The Company adopted the Financial Restatement Clawback Policy to enable the Company to recover erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement. The policy is designed to comply with, and to be interpreted in a manner consistent with, Section 10D of the Exchange Act, SEC Rule 10D-1, and with the NYSE listing rules. Under the policy, in the event of an accounting restatement due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct a material error in previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period, the Company has to recover erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation previously paid to the Company’s executive officers in accordance with the terms of such clawback policy. Furthermore, under the policy, the Company is prohibited from indemnifying any executive officer or former executive officer against the loss of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation and from paying or reimbursing an executive officer for purchasing insurance to cover any such loss.

Table of Contents

In addition, there is a clawback provision in the Company’s equity plan that allows for clawback in the event of serious misconduct by a participant.

Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Compensation Committee believes that the Company and its stockholders are best served when executive officers manage the business with a long-term perspective. As such, the Company implemented executive stock ownership guidelines as the Company believes stock ownership is an important tool to strengthen the alignment of interests among executive officers and stockholders, to reinforce executive officers’ commitment to the Company and to demonstrate the Company’s commitment to sound corporate governance. The CEO, CFO, and General Counsel have five years from the date the guidelines were adopted to comply with the ownership guidelines. Any newly hired or promoted executive has five years from the date of such person’s hire or appointment to comply with the guidelines. After the initial five-year phase-in period, compliance with the ownership guideline is measured on December 31 of each year.

Position	Multiple of Base Salary
Chief Executive Officer	5x
Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operations Officer and General Counsel	2x

For this purpose, RSUs (whether or not vested), stock held in the Company’s Nonqualified Savings Plan and stock owned directly or beneficially owned by the executive or the executive’s immediate family members, counts. Unexercised stock options, including vested in-the-money options, and any PSUs that are unearned (i.e., performance-based awards for which the applicable performance conditions have not been satisfied) are not counted for purposes of compliance.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy

The Company’s insider trading policy prohibits employees (including officers) and directors from engaging in any hedging transactions (including transactions involving options, puts, calls, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds or other derivatives) that are designed to hedge or speculate on any change in the market value of the Company’s equity securities. It also explicitly prohibits employees (including officers) and directors from effecting short sales of the Company’s equity securities, which are inherently speculative in nature and contrary to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Company’s insider trading policy also prohibits employees (including officers) and directors from pledging the Company’s securities in any circumstance, including by purchasing Company securities on margin or holding the Company’s securities in a margin account.

Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Generally, a public company cannot deduct compensation in excess of $1 million paid in any year to a company’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer and the three other most highly compensated officers.

Equity Granting Practices

The Compensation Committee does not grant stock options or similar equity awards during periods in which there is material nonpublic information about our Company, including (1) outside a “trading window” established in connection with the public release of earnings information under our Insider Trading Policy or (2) at any time during the four business days prior to or the one business day following the filing of our periodic reports or the filing or furnishing of a Form 8-K that discloses material nonpublic information. The Compensation Committee does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity awards. Stock options may occasionally be awarded on an off-cycle basis, including to new hires. The Company has not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information to affect the value of executive compensation.

Amounts relating to RSUs reflect the market value of the RSUs using the closing price of a share of our common stock as reported on the NYSE on the date of grant, multiplied by the number of shares underlying each award, provided that the vesting for the first tranche was fully accelerated on December 19, 2024, in advance of the expected closing of the Arcadium-Rio Tinto Merger, with the associated additional expense shown below in the last column.
