The Atotech Group today announced that Atotech Limited, an entity which will be 
its indirect parent, has confidentially submitted a draft registration 
statement on Form F-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") 
relating to the proposed initial public offering of its common shares. The 
number of shares to be offered and the price range for the proposed offering 
have not yet been determined. Atotech Limited expects to use the proceeds of 
the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of 
indebtedness. The initial public offering is expected to commence after the SEC 
completes its review process, subject to market and other conditions.
