This presentation contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of1995, which involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions andinclude any statement that does not directly relate to a historical or current fact. The words "believe," "expect," “will,” "anticipate," "plan," "estimate," "target,""project" and similar expressions, among others, generally identify "forward-looking statements," which speak only as of the date such statements were made.These forward-looking statements may address, among other things, the outcome or resolution of any pending or future environmental liabilities, thecommencement, outcome or resolution of any regulatory inquiry, investigation or proceeding, the initiation, outcome or settlement of any litigation, changes inenvironmental regulations in the U.S. or other jurisdictions that affect demand for or adoption of our products, anticipated future operating and financialperformance, business plans, prospects, targets, goals and commitments, capital investments and projects, plans for dividends or share repurchases,sufficiency or longevity of intellectual property protection, cost savings targets, plans to increase profitability and growth, our ability to make acquisitions,integrate acquired businesses or assets into our operations, and achieve anticipated synergies or cost savings, and our outlook for net sales, AdjustedEBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC), all of which are subjectto substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Forward-lookingstatements are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events that may not be accurate or realized. These statements are not guarantees offuture performance. Forward-looking statements also involve risks and uncertainties that are beyond Chemours' control. Additionally, there may be other risksand uncertainties that Chemours is unable to identify at this time or that Chemours does not currently expect to have a material impact on its business.Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include the risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed in our filings with the U.S. Securitiesand Exchange Commission, including in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Chemours assumes no obligation to reviseor update any forward-looking statement for any reason, except as required by law.
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Within this presentation we may make referenceto Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, Free Cash Flow, ROIC and Net LeverageRatio which are non-GAAP financial measures. The company includes these non-GAAP financial measures because management believes they are useful toinvestors in that they provide for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decisionmaking. Further information with respect to and reconciliations of such measures to the nearest GAAP measure can be found in the appendix hereto.
Management uses Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, Free Cash Flow, ROIC andNet Leverage Ratio to evaluate the company’s performance excluding the impact of certain noncash charges and other special items which we expect to beinfrequent in occurrence in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter.
Additional information for investors is available on the company’s website at investors.chemours.com.

• Our multinational portfolio includes nearly 900 patents and pending applications on HFO technology, including compositions, uses and processes of manufacture
• The earliest patents on HFO technology are expected to expire in the mid-2020’s– We continue to add to our patent
application estate• Chemours actively monitors for patent
infringement and will vigorously assert its rights under these patents, including seeking damages and injunctions to stop infringement
The Size and Scope of Our Portfolio Means Loss of Coverage from Any One Single Patent Will Not Significantly Affect Our Market Position

Ti-Pure™ Value Stabilization
CHEMOURS’ VISION• We absorb the demand variance in our
customers’ marketplace, while holding value-based pricing for Ti-Pure™ products
• Reduced business volatility stabilizes Chemours’ cash generation and enables more consistent capacity planning to serve our customers
• We can support and grow our investment in new offerings over time, enhancing growth option for our customers
• Our customers can focus their efforts on market growth and avoid the distracting seesaw of “can I get the TiO2 I need?” or “how high will the price go?”
CHEMOURS’ APPROACH• Create contractual relationships which support a more
stable customer-Chemours relationship• Improve our manufacturing flexibility and capacity to
economically respond to both decreases and increases in our customers’ sales which vary their requirements for Ti-Pure™ TiO2
• Deliver value from a sustained investment in market insights and new offering development

Clarifying Fluorine Chemistry
PFAS is a broad term encompassing a number of substances produced for a variety of industries and products. Two of these substances, which have been the subject of study and frequent media and public discussion, are PFOS and PFOA
• PFOS and PFOA are the subject of Drinking Water Health Advisories issued by the EPA
• PFOS: Neither Chemours nor DuPont has made or sold PFOS as a commercial product or used PFOS as a processing aid
• PFOA: • Chemours understands that DuPont made PFOA, from 2002-2013, for use at its own fluoropolymer sites• Chemours understands that DuPont did not manufacture PFOA as a commercial product• Chemours has never made or sold PFOA as a commercial product, or used PFOA as a processing aid
• GenX: A processing aid used in the manufacture of some fluoropolymers where PFOA was used previously. Manufactured and recycled at Chemours’ Fayetteville, North Carolina site pursuant to Consent Order with EPA and used to manufacture fluoropolymers. Studies have shown that GenX is not biopersistent in the body
17
Our Proactive Approach
Fayetteville
• Chemours negotiated a Consent Order which was approved by the court in February 2019
• Under the Consent Order, Chemours continues to capture process water
• >$100m capital commitment to reduce GenX and other facility-wide PFAS air emissions by 99% by end of 2019
• Treatment to be provided for numerous offsite water users
Washington Works and Chambers Works
• Offsite treatment at Chemours Washington Works, West Virginia and Chambers Works, New Jersey manufacturing sites have been in place for many years
Ongoing Work Priorities
Moving Forward
CRC Commitments
• Reduce air and water process emissions of fluorinated organic chemicals by 99% or greater
• Our 2030 Corporate Responsibility Commitment Goals are built upon three pillars, divided into eight areas of focus, each with their own 2030 goals: safety excellence, vibrant communities, empowered employees, climate, water, waste, sustainable offerings, and sustainable supply chain
• Chemours supports scientifically-based regulatory action• Chemours will continue to take actions to proactively
address issues in the interests of its stakeholders
