Ashland Inc. (NYSE: ASH), a Delaware-incorporated specialty chemicals company headquartered at 8145 Blazer Drive, Wilmington, Delaware, filed this amended current report to provide information that was unavailable when the original report was submitted. According to the filing, the original Form 8-K, filed July 28, 2026, reported the appointments of Allen A. Spizzo and Peter T. Thomas to the Board but could not specify committee assignments because the Board had not yet made those determinations at that time.

The filing states that on August 7, 2026, the Board formally determined the assignments. Mr. Spizzo was placed on the Audit Committee and the Sustainability & Productivity Committee. Mr. Thomas was placed on the Governance and Nominating Committee and the Compensation Committee. The amendment was filed, according to the company, "solely to disclose the Board's determination of such committee assignments" and does not otherwise modify the original report. The filing was made pursuant to Item 5.02 of the relevant reporting requirements, which covers director elections and related governance matters.

The company disclosed that except for the committee assignment information set out in this amendment, the original Form 8-K remains unchanged. Ashland Inc. confirmed that it is not an emerging growth company as defined under applicable Securities Act and Exchange Act rules.
