The Board of Directors of A. Schulman, Inc. has adopted specific governance
guidelines to assist it in following corporate practices that serve the best
interests of the Corporation and its stockholders.
The Board of Directors intends that these
guidelines serve as a flexible framework within which the Board may conduct its
business, not as a set of binding legal obligations.
The guidelines should be interpreted in the
context of all applicable laws, the Corporations charter documents and other
governing legal documents
