(i) For purposes of this Agreement, “Proposed Acquisition Transaction” means any transaction or series of transactions (or any agreement, understanding or arrangement to enter into a transaction or series of transactions) as determined for purposes of Section 355(e) of the Code, in connection with which one or more Persons would (directly or indirectly) acquire, or have the right to acquire (including pursuant to an option, warrant or other conversion right), from any other Person or Persons, an interest in AdvanSix Stock that, when combined with any other acquisitions of AdvanSix Stock that occur after the Distribution (but excluding any other acquisition described in clause (ii)) comprises 40% or more of the value or the total combined voting power of all interests that are treated as outstanding equity in AdvanSix for U.S. Federal income Tax purposes immediately after such transaction or, in the case of a series of related transactions, immediately after any transaction in such series. For this purpose, any recapitalization, repurchase or redemption of AdvanSix Stock and any amendment to the certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents) of AdvanSix shall be treated as an indirect acquisition of AdvanSix Stock by any shareholder to the extent such shareholder’s percentage interest in interests that are treated as outstanding equity in AdvanSix for U.S. Federal income Tax purposes increases by vote or value.
