Standard Investments Sends Open Letter to Johnson Matthey

LONDON, Dec. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Standard Investments, the largest investor in Johnson Matthey Plc ("JM" or the "Company") with an economic interest in approximately 11.01% of shares outstanding, today sent an open letter to the Chairman of JM.

Standard Investments is the related investment platform of the global industrial company Standard Industries, which operates in over 80 countries with over 20,000 employees. Standard Investments' approach is informed by deep expertise in the industrial space, including the specialty chemicals industry through Standard Industries' ownership of W.R. Grace and previous ownership of International Specialty Products.

After years of private discussions with JM's Board and management that have yielded no meaningful progress, Standard Investments is calling on the Company to take steps to address JM's underperformance and unlock the unrealized promise of "New Johnson Matthey".
