of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the premises, and of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally
bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Termination.
Pursuant to Section 8.1(a) of the Merger Agreement, the Parties hereby agree that the Merger Agreement, including all schedules
and exhibits thereto, and all ancillary agreements entered into by them pursuant thereto (except for the Confidentiality Agreement) (collectively,
the “Transaction Documents”), are hereby terminated effective immediately as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on
the date hereof (the “Termination Time”), and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Documents,
including Section 8.2 of the Merger Agreement, the Transaction Documents are terminated in their entirety and shall be of no further
force or effect whatsoever (the “Termination”); provided that Section 8.3(a) and Section 9 of
the Merger Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement shall each remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective
terms.
2. Mutual
Release; Disclaimer of Liability. Each of Parent, the Merger Subs and the Company, each on behalf of itself and each of its respective
successors and past and present subsidiaries, Affiliates, assignees, officers, directors, employees, controlling persons, Representatives,
agents, attorneys, auditors, stockholders, equity holders and advisors, and any family member, spouse, heir, trust, trustee, executor,
estate, administrator, beneficiary, foundation, fiduciary, predecessors, successors and assigns of each of them (the “Releasors”),
does, to the fullest extent permitted by Legal Requirements, hereby fully release, forever discharge and covenant not to sue any other
Party, any of their respective successors and past and present subsidiaries, Affiliates, assignees, officers, directors, employees, controlling
persons, Representatives, agents, attorneys, auditors, stockholders, equity holders and advisors, and any family member, spouse, heir,
trust, trustee, executor, estate, administrator, beneficiary, foundation, fiduciary, predecessors, successors and assigns of each of

losses, demands, judgments, remedies, agreements, promises, liabilities, covenants, controversies, costs, charges, damages, expenses
and fees (including attorney’s, financial advisor’s or other fees) (“Claims”), howsoever arising, of every
kind and nature, whether based on any Legal Requirement or right of action (including any claims under federal securities laws or state
disclosure laws or any claims that could be asserted derivatively on behalf of the Parties), known or unknown, asserted or that could
have been asserted, matured or unmatured, contingent or fixed, liquidated or unliquidated, accrued or unaccrued, foreseen or unforeseen,
apparent or not apparent, which Releasors, or any of them, ever had or now have or can have or shall or may hereafter have against the
Releasees, or any of them, in connection with, arising out of, based upon or related to, directly or indirectly, the Transaction Documents
(other than Section 8.3(a) and Section 9 of the Merger Agreement), including any breach, non-performance, action or failure to act under
the Transaction Documents, the proposed Mergers, the events leading to the termination of the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction

statute or common law principle under which a general release does not extend to claims which such Party does not know or suspect to
exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, including the provisions, rights and benefits of California Civil Code section
1542 (or any similar Legal Requirement), which provides:

to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release
and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
Nothing in this Section
2 shall (i) apply to any action by any Party to enforce the rights and obligations imposed pursuant to this Agreement or the Confidentiality
Agreement or (ii) constitute a release by any Party for any Claim arising under this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement.
3. Public
Statements. Parent and the Company and their respective Affiliates shall not issue any press releases or otherwise make public announcements
with respect to the Mergers, the Merger Agreement or the termination of the Merger Agreement without the other Party’s prior consent
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) in each case except (i) to the extent consistent with the press
materials of each Party agreed upon as of the date hereof by the Parties in connection with this termination, and (ii) as such release
or public statement may be required by Legal Requirements or by the rules or regulations of any United States securities exchange to
which the relevant Party is subject, in which case such Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other Party in
advance of such release or announcement.

4. Filing
Fees. Notwithstanding the Termination, Parent shall remain responsible for all filing fees incurred by the Parties in connection
with the filing of the premerger notification and report forms relating to the Mergers under the HSR Act and the filing of any notice

Exhibit 99.1
Solstice Advanced Materials Announces Mutual
Termination of Merger Agreement with Element Solutions
Board of Directors Authorizes $500 Million Share
Repurchase Program
Company Affirms Third Quarter and Full-Year
2026 Guidance
MORRIS PLAINS, N.J., August 27, 2026 -- Solstice Advanced Materials
Inc. (Nasdaq: SOLS) (“Solstice”), a global leader in high-performance specialty materials, today announced that Solstice and
Element Solutions Inc. (NYSE: ESI) (“Element”) have entered into an agreement to terminate their previously announced agreement
for Solstice to acquire Element. No fees are payable by either party as a result of the transaction termination.
Dr. Rajeev Gautam, Chairman of the Solstice Board of Directors said,
“Following conversations with our shareholders and discussions between the parties, both Boards unanimously believe that it is in
the best interests of our respective shareholders, employees and customers to terminate the merger agreement. We value the feedback received
from shareholders in connection with the Element agreement, including their excitement about Solstice’s strategy and growth trajectory
as an independent company. The Board is confident that Solstice’s strategic plan and leadership team will deliver substantial value
for Solstice shareholders.”
“While we viewed the Element acquisition as an opportunity to
accelerate our strategy, we have great confidence in our strategic plan and respect our shareholders’ views,” said David Sewell,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Solstice. “As demonstrated by our reported results and recently increased guidance, which
we are reaffirming today, the Solstice team is executing well and with discipline across our operations. Solstice benefits from highly
differentiated technology and a business aligned with powerful secular growth trends driven by AI, data centers, nuclear energy,
thermal management and semiconductor manufacturing.”
Mr. Sewell continued, “Our cash flows and balance sheet are strong,
enabling both investments in our many organic growth opportunities and meaningful capital returns. We move ahead from a position of strength
and with deep conviction in our team, our strategy and the significant value we can deliver for Solstice shareholders.”
Share Repurchase Authorization
Solstice also announced today that its Board of Directors has approved
a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase up to $500 million of its common stock.
Mr. Sewell added, “Our first share repurchase program underscores
the Board and management team’s confidence in Solstice’s long-term strategy, growth prospects and ability to create value
for shareholders, as well as our commitment to disciplined capital allocation and returning capital to shareholders.”
Additional information regarding the share repurchase program is included
in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC today.
Financial Outlook Affirmed
Solstice is affirming its previously announced guidance for
the third quarter and its increased guidance for the full-year 2026:
(Dollars in millions except per share amounts)
2026 Guidance
3Q 2026 Guidance
Net Sales
$4,125 - $4,185
$990 - $1,030
Adjusted EBITDA
$1,035 - $1,055
Adjusted Diluted EPS1
$2.75 - $2.95
Capital Expenditures
$420 - $440
The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) or Adjusted diluted Earnings per Share to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Solstice Advanced Materials,
due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. Because deductions
(such as repositioning charges, transaction costs, impairment charges, and litigation and other matters) used to calculate projected net
income (loss) vary based on actual events, the Company is not able to forecast on a GAAP basis with reasonable certainty all deductions
needed in order to provide a GAAP calculation of projected net income (loss) at this time. The amount of these deductions may be material
and, therefore, could result in projected GAAP net income (loss) being materially less than projected Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) or Adjusted
Net Income attributable to Solstice (non-GAAP). These statements represent forward-looking information and a projected financial outlook,
and actual results may vary. Please see the risks and assumptions referred to in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section
of this news release. The guidance in this news release is only effective as of the date it is given and will not be updated or affirmed
unless and until the Company publicly announces updated or affirmed guidance.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning
of the federal securities laws made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 about
us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not
relate strictly to historical or current facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about
our industry and our business and financial results. Forward-looking statements often include words such as "anticipates," "estimates,"
"expects," "positioned," "projects," "forecasts," "intends," "plans," "continues,"
"could," "believes," "may," "will," "would," "should," "goals" and
words and terms of similar substance in connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance. As with any projection
or forecast, forward-looking statements are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Our actual results may
vary materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on
any forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this news
release are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that a variety of factors, many of which are difficult to predict and
outside of our control, could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially
from those in such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: our limited operating history as an independent, publicly
traded company and unreliability of historical consolidated financial information as an indicator of our future results; our ability to
successfully develop new technologies and introduce new products; an overall decline in the health of the economy and the industries in
which we operate, including as a result of inflation, tariffs and other trade barriers and restrictions, market volatility, geopolitical
instability and social unrest, the possibility of an economic downturn or recession or other macroeconomic factors; changes in the price
and availability of raw materials that we use to produce our products, including due to factors such as supply chain disruptions, including
due to increased energy prices, and the impact of inflation; our ability to comply with complex government regulations and the impact
of changes in such regulations; global climate change and related regulations and changes in customer demand; the public and political
perceptions of nuclear energy and radioactive materials; economic, political, regulatory, foreign exchange and other risks of international
operations; the impact of tariffs or other restrictions on foreign imports; our ability to borrow funds and access capital markets and
any limitations in the terms of our indebtedness; our ability to compete successfully in the markets in which we operate; the effect on
our revenue and cash flow from seasonal fluctuations and cyclical market conditions; concentrations of our credit, counterparty and market
risk; our ability to successfully execute or effectively integrate potential acquisitions or complete potential divestitures; our joint
ventures and strategic co-development partnerships; our ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel; potential material environmental
liabilities; the hazardous nature of chemical manufacturing; decommissioning and remediation expenses and regulatory requirements; potential
material litigation matters, including disputes related to the spin off ("the Spin-off") from Honeywell International Inc. ("Honeywell");
the impact of potential cybersecurity attacks, data privacy breaches and other operational disruptions; increasing stakeholder interest
in public company performance, disclosure, and goal-setting with respect to sustainability matters; failure to maintain, protect and enforce
our intellectual property or to be successful in litigation related to our intellectual property or the intellectual property of others,
or competitors developing similar or superior intellectual property or technology; unforeseen U.S. federal income tax and foreign tax
liabilities and our ability to achieve anticipated tax treatments in connection with the Spin-off; U.S. federal income tax reform; our
ability to operate as an independent, publicly traded company without certain benefits available to us as a part of Honeywell prior to
the Spin-off, including managing the costs of operating as an independent company following the Spin-off; our ability to achieve some
or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve from the Spin-off; our inability to maintain intellectual property agreements; potential
timing, declaration, amount and payment of the Company's dividend program; potential cash contributions to defined benefit pension plans;
and our ability to maintain proper and effective internal controls.
These and other factors are more fully discussed in the "Risk
Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections included
in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 19, 2026, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q,
and other documents we may file from time to time with the SEC. These risks could cause actual results to differ materially from those
implied by forward-looking statements in this release. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are
cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and we assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by securities
or other applicable law. We give no assurance that we will achieve our expectations. Even if our results of operations, financial condition
and liquidity and the development of the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in
this release, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.
