    | 10 | | 2026 PROXY STATEMENT |

  20. DIRECTOR QUALIFICATION PROCESS

    Diversity in experience, qualifications and backgrounds contribute to the total mix of viewpoints and experience represented on the Board. The Board has demonstrated a track record of diversity in its membership. The Board is 45% percent gender diverse and is represented by one director from an underrepresented community. Going forward, we will continue to ensure diversity is a central part of the NCG Committee’s deliberations regarding potential director appointments and broader refreshment plans. Directors are expected to devote the necessary time, energy, and attention to ensure diligent performance of their responsibilities. When selecting candidates for nomination, the NCG Committee considers these factors, among other items, to assure new directors have the highest personal and professional integrity. In addition, selected director nominees are required to have demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment to be most effective in serving the long-term interests of all shareholders. The NCG Committee will not nominate for election any partner, member, managing director, executive officer or principal of any entity that provides accounting, consulting, legal, investment banking or financial advisory services to the Company. Once the NCG Committee has identified a prospective candidate, the NCG Committee will make an initial determination as to whether to conduct a full evaluation of the candidate. This initial determination will be based on information provided to the NCG Committee with the recommendation of the prospective candidate, as well as the NCG Committee’s own knowledge of the prospective candidate. This may be supplemented by inquiries to the person making the recommendation or others. The preliminary determination will be based primarily on the likelihood that the prospective nominee can satisfy the factors described above. If the NCG Committee determines, in consultation with other Board members, that further consideration is warranted, it may gather additional information about the prospective nominee’s background and experience. In connection with this evaluation, the NCG Committee will determine whether to interview the prospective nominee. One or more NCG Committee members and other directors, as appropriate, may interview the prospective nominee in person or by video or teleconference. After completing its evaluation, the NCG Committee will decide whether to make a recommendation to the full Board for its consideration. The NCG Committee evaluates director candidates suggested by shareholders, applying the factors for potential candidates described above, and considers the additional information provided by the shareholder or gathered by the NCG Committee. Shareholders wishing to suggest a candidate for director should write to the Corporate Secretary. A shareholder’s written communication to the Corporate Secretary should be delivered to The Chemours Company, 1007 Market Street, Wilmington, DE 19801, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Shareholders who wish to nominate candidates for the Board must follow the procedures described under “2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders — Procedures for Submitting Shareholder Proposals and Nominations” in this Proxy Statement on page 96.

  21. BOARD SELF-EVALUATION

    BOARD SELF-EVALUATION The Board is committed to effective oversight of our strategy in support of long-term shareholder value. To facilitate this, the Board and its committees conduct a comprehensive annual self-evaluation, focusing on the Board’s overall effectiveness and identifying opportunities for performance enhancement. With the support of our General Counsel & Corporate Secretary and a third-party evaluation tool, the NCG Committee is responsible for overseeing the self-evaluation process. The NCG Committee periodically reviews the topics to be addressed and the format of the evaluation to ensure robust and actionable feedback.

  22. BOARD SELF-EVALUATION

    | 2026 PROXY STATEMENT | | 11 |

  23. BOARD SELF-EVALUATION

    The goal of the process is to obtain feedback from Directors regarding the performance, effectiveness and culture of the Board and its committees. The NCG Committee utilizes anonymous surveys to gather robust feedback, which is received by its Chair and then shared with each committee Chair for review and further discussion with their respective committee members. Each committee develops recommendations for any potential changes or updates in response to the received feedback, which are brought to the full Board for consideration to determine potential next steps and actions, as appropriate. In addition to the annual self-evaluation conducted by the Board and its committees, the Board has also conducted director peer assessments using an anonymous third-party evaluation tool with four directors in 2025. This process will be conducted annually in a staggered process. The Chair also held individual meetings with each director to discuss self-improvement, Chair feedback, and overall Board effectiveness.

  73. 2025 AIP RESULTS

    2025 AIP RESULTS As discussed in the “2025 Business Highlights,” 2025 unfolded against a challenging macroeconomic backdrop, shaped by external pressures and internal operational disruptions. In response, management took decisive actions and remained disciplined in executing the Company’s PTT strategy, focused on strengthening Chemours’ long-term position. Throughout the year, the Company advanced significant cost reduction initiatives, resolved legacy liabilities, further optimized its asset portfolio to enhance efficiency and flexibility, concentrated resources on high-value applications and end markets where it holds differentiated capabilities, and continued to advocate globally for its essential chemistries and science-based regulation. In 2025, Chemours delivered net sales of $5.8 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $742 million. Notably, TSS delivered another year of exceptional performance, with Opteon™ Refrigerants recording a 56% year-over-year increase in Net Sales compared to 2024 as global regulation continues to drive adoption. While unfavorable factors impacted financial performance, we continued to make measurable progress across all four pillars of our PTT strategy. In this context, results under the AIP were mixed and appropriately reflected both financial outcomes and strategic execution. The following summarizes each NEO’s AIP outcome: The following NEOs were aligned to the Corporate AIP outcome: ▪ Ms. Dignam’s executive KPIs were achieved at 100%, resulting in a final AIP achievement of 87.5%. ▪ Mr. Hostetter’s executive KPIs were achieved at 80%, resulting in a final AIP achievement of 85.5%. Ms. Wellman’s executive KPIs were achieved at 140%, resulting in a final AIP achievement of 91.5%.

    The following NEOs were assigned to the applicable business segment AIP outcome: Mr. Martinko’s executive KPIs were achieved at 100%, resulting in a final TSS AIP achievement of 78.3%. ▪ Mr. Familiar’s executive KPIs were achieved at 80%, resulting in a final APM AIP achievement of 45.5%.

  76. 2025 – 2027 LTIP DESIGN

    2025 – 2027 LTIP DESIGN The structure of the 2025 – 2027 LTIP remained unchanged from the prior year. The LTIP features equal weighting among four equity vehicles: PSUs, Premium Stock Options (“PSOs”), Non-Qualified Stock Options (“NQSOs”), and RSUs. The CLDC maintained this diversified mix of awards which created balanced risk and reward profile for our executive team, motivating sustained performance while aligning executives’ interests with those of our shareholders. The Committee further believes the diverse approach mitigates the impact of long-term target setting which has been an on-going concern specifically as it relates to PSUs.

  77. Performance Metrics and Alignment with Strategy

    Performance Metrics and Alignment with Strategy The metrics for the PSU component of the LTIP are unchanged for 2025 – 2027 and continue to focus on driving shareholder value: ▪ Economic Value Added (“EVA”) — 70%: EVA is a key measure of effective capital utilization, incentivizing management to pursue initiatives that generate returns above the Company’s cost of capital. This metric is closely tied to sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value creation. Relative Total Shareholder Return (“rTSR”) — 30%: rTSR measures our stock’s performance against a peer group, rewarding management for delivering superior shareholder returns compared to industry peers. This metric ensures that compensation outcomes reflect both absolute performance and competitive positioning.

  78. Performance Metrics and Alignment with Strategy

    | 50 | | 2026 PROXY STATEMENT |

  79. Performance Metrics and Alignment with Strategy

    Awards earned under the PSU portion of the LTIP are determined at the end of a three-year performance period, reinforcing a focus on long-term outcomes.

  80. Emphasis on Pay-for-Performance and Retention

    Emphasis on Pay-for-Performance and Retention The 2025 LTIP awards continue to be heavily performance-weighted, with 75% of total value in the form of PSUs, PSOs, and NQSOs. These awards deliver value to executives only if Chemours achieves sustained, long-term shareholder value. RSUs comprise the remaining 25% and are specifically designed to foster executive retention while also promoting alignment. As a less volatile equity vehicle, RSUs provide value based on continued employment, while maintaining shareholder alignment since each RSU is equivalent in value to a share of Chemours common stock.

  81. 2023 – 2025 PSU AWARD RESULTS

    2023 – 2025 PSU AWARD RESULTS Shares earned from 2023 – 2025 PSUs were based on pre-established three-year cumulative targets for Adjusted Net Income (60%) and rTSR (40%). While threshold performance was not achieved for Adjusted Net Income, the Company’s rTSR ranked in the 40th percentile resulting in 85.7% of the PSUs tied to rTSR performance being earned. The combined achievement for the 2023 – 2025 PSUs was 34.3%.

  82. INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT

    INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT The CLDC has retained Farient Advisors (“Farient”) as its independent compensation consultant to advise on executive compensation matters. Farient provides a variety of consulting services to the CLDC. These services include but are not limited to, advising on market pay practices and compensation best practices, providing competitive pay reviews, reviewing our executive compensation philosophy, reviewing the disclosure of the executive compensation programs in the Proxy Statement, sharing market trends, opining on incentive plan design and target setting, recommending compensation peer group(s) and providing legislative and regulatory updates. During fiscal year 2025, Farient did not perform any services for Chemours other than advising on executive and non-employee director compensation under its engagement by the CLDC, and the CLDC determined that Farient was independent and that its engagement did not present any conflicts of interest.

  83. COMPENSATION PEER GROUP SELECTION AND COMPETITIVE POSITIONING

    COMPENSATION PEER GROUP SELECTION AND COMPETITIVE POSITIONING In making compensation decisions, the CLDC considers competitive market compensation data from a peer group of companies as one of several reference points. Peer group compensation data is supplemented with broader chemical and general industry pay data. The CLDC reviews the composition of the peer group annually to ensure that it remains suitable and appropriate for benchmarking pay and performance. The peer group is composed of publicly traded U.S. based companies of similar scale, with revenue generally 0.25x to 4x that of the Company, within the commodity, diversified and specialty chemicals sectors, and having business characteristics reflecting Chemours’ current business model and strategic direction. Market pay data are adjusted using regression to reflect Chemours’ relative scale. Thus, data from companies that are smaller or larger than Chemours are adjusted to better reflect market conditions given the Company’s size. Based on the above criteria, the CLDC chose not to make a change to the peer group used for 2025.

  84. COMPENSATION PEER GROUP SELECTION AND COMPETITIVE POSITIONING

  88. ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN

    ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN Chemours’ AIP is designed to reward executives for achieving and exceeding annual performance goals. Under the AIP, each NEO has a target annual incentive opportunity, expressed as a percentage of salary. Incentive targets are determined based on the CLDC’s review of compensation peer group practices, chemical industry data from proprietary third-party surveys, and the position and scope of responsibilities of each NEO. Incentive targets are reviewed annually in the first quarter of the year. After considering external market pay data, internal pay equity, and performance, the CLDC approved a target bonus opportunity increase for Mr. Hostetter from 75% to 85%. Target bonus amounts, as a percentage of base salary, for all other NEOs were maintained at the same levels as in 2024. The following table summarizes 2024 and 2025 AIP target percentages for NEOs other than the CEO:

  89. ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN

    | NEO | Bonus Target as of December 31, 2024 | Bonus Target as of December 31, 2025 | | Shane Hostetter | 75% | 85% | | Kristine Wellman | 70% | 70% | | Joseph Martinko | 70% | 70% | | Gerardo Familiar | 70% | 70% |

  90. PERFORMANCE MEASURES

    PERFORMANCE MEASURES The CLDC maintained its focus on aligning the AIP with shareholders’ interests. The 2025 AIP was tied primarily to our performance against financial metrics (90%) In order to provide a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of the Company’s effectiveness in managing cash, TTM CCC was introduced as a financial performance metric with a 10% weighting, replacing Average Networking Capital Days. TTM CCC measures the time between cash outflow to secure inventory and cash received from customers, while also factoring in the time taken to pay suppliers. This metric appropriately balances sales performance with inventory management. Additionally, the financial metrics were supplemented executive KPIs, carrying a 10% overall weighting. These metrics are designed to reinforce Chemours’ commitment to safety and sustainability, and aligns with our PTT strategy. Each NEO was held accountable for a common set of safety measures — specifically process safety and the reduction of severe employee injuries — which comprised 6% of the metric’s total weight. The remaining 4% was allocated to individual performance objectives tailored to each executive’s role and responsibilities. The portion of the executive KPIs allocated to individual performance objectives tailored to each executive’s role and responsibilities were as follows: for Ms. Dignam, the focus was on progress towards PTT objectives; for Mr. Hostetter, the focus was on stable forecasting process for cash; for Ms. Wellman, the focus was on regulatory advocacy efforts supporting strengthening the long-term pillar; and for Mr. Familiar and Mr. Martinko, the focus was on improving safety performance at priority sites. This new KPI underscores our emphasis on both collective and individual accountability in driving sustainable performance and a culture of safety across the Company. The plan design focused NEOs on execution, delivering for our customers, operating and capital efficiency, and safety working as “One Chemours” to achieve our collective objectives. The maximum bonus opportunity for the NEOs remained 200% of their target annual incentive. The following reflects the weightings for each metric in the AIP:

  109. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

    LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN Chemours provides LTI compensation to tie the NEOs’ interests with the interests of shareholders and the creation of long-term, sustained value. The CLDC views these incentives as a critical element of the executive compensation program. After considering external market pay data, internal pay equity, and performance, the CLDC approved the LTI target increases set forth in the table below. The following table reflects the LTIP target opportunities at the end of fiscal years 2024 and 2025 for the NEOs other than Ms. Dignam, whose LTIP target opportunities are discussed above.

  110. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

    | NEO | Long-Term Incentive Target as of December 31, 2024 | Long-Term Incentive Target as of December 31, 2025 | | Shane Hostetter | $1,350,000 | $1,515,000 | | Kristine Wellman | $850,000 | $875,000 | | Joseph Martinko | $650,000 | $745,000 | | Gerardo Familiar | $650,000 | $745,000 |

    | 2026 PROXY STATEMENT | | 59 |

  113. 2025 – 2027 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN DESIGN

    The structure of the 2025 – 2027 LTIP remained unchanged from the prior year. The LTIP features equal weighting among four equity vehicles: PSUs, PSOs, NQSOs, and RSUs. The CLDC maintained this diversified mix of awards which created balanced risk and reward profile for our executive team, motivating sustained performance while aligning executives’ interests with those of our shareholders. The Committee further believes the diverse approach mitigates the impact of long-term target setting which has been an on-going concern specifically as it relates to PSUs. The 2025 LTIP awards remained heavily performance-weighted (75%) including PSUs, PSOs, and NQSOs delivering value to our executives only if we deliver long-term shareholder value. RSUs encourage retention and mitigate some risk as an inherently less volatile equity vehicle providing value based on continued employment, while maintaining alignment with shareholders since each RSU has the same value as a share of our common stock. The PSOs, NQSOs, and RSUs vest annually in three equal installments from the date of grant.

  114. PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS (25% OF LTI TARGET AWARD)

    PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS (25% OF LTI TARGET AWARD) Twenty-five percent of each NEO’s LTIP award was delivered through PSUs. The PSUs are earned based on performance over a three-year performance period. The performance metrics used in the 2025 – 2027 PSU awards were EVA (70%) and rTSR (30%), both measured cumulatively over a three-year period ending December 31, 2027. The maximum opportunity remains 200% of target share award.

  115. PERFORMANCE STOCK OPTIONS (25% OF LTIP TARGET AWARD)

    PERFORMANCE STOCK OPTIONS (25% OF LTIP TARGET AWARD) The use of PSOs provides direct alignment with shareholder interests as they have value only if the price of Chemours’ stock at the time of exercise exceeds the stock price on the date of grant plus a 10% premium, while also encouraging retention through their service-based vesting conditions. As a result, these premium priced stock options encourage executives to focus on behaviors and initiatives that support significant stock price appreciation over time. The stock options vest in equal annual installments over three years from the grant date and have a ten-year term.

  116. NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS (25% OF LTIP TARGET AWARD)

    NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS (25% OF LTIP TARGET AWARD) The use of stock options provides direct alignment with shareholder interests as they have value only if the price of Chemours’ stock at the time of exercise exceeds the stock price on the date of grant. As a result, stock option grants encourage executives to focus on behaviors and initiatives that support sustained long-term stock price appreciation. The stock options vest in equal annual installments over three years from the grant date and have a ten-year term.

  117. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS (25% OF LTIP TARGET AWARD)

    RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS (25% OF LTIP TARGET AWARD) The mix of equity award types also includes RSUs with vesting tied to continued service. The plan supports a strong performance orientation and long-term retention of talent to drive the Company strategy. The RSUs vest in equal annual installments over three years from the grant date.

  118. RELATIVE TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN

    RELATIVE TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN Relative total shareholder return is defined as the change in the Company’s stock price plus dividends paid and assumed to be reinvested on the ex-dividend date during the period, divided by beginning stock price, compared on a percentile basis to the same change with respect to a peer group. For this purpose, a company’s beginning stock price will be the closing stock price averaged over the 20 trading days ending on the trading day before the start of the Performance Period and the ending stock price will be the closing stock price, inclusive of reinvested dividends, averaged over the 20 trading days ending with the last trading day within the Performance Period. The performance will be relative to the 2025 peer group. rTSR is a metric used to promote alignment with shareholder interests relative to our peers with whom we compete for capital. The rTSR portion of the PSUs are earned as set forth in the table below. For purposes of calculating the appropriate earned percentile, any companies that are in the peer group at the beginning of the performance period that are no longer separate publicly traded companies due to merger, acquisition, or buyout shall be disregarded. Companies that are no longer publicly traded due to insolvency or bankruptcy will be included at the lowest performance ranking. For calculating the earned percentile, the Company will be considered a member of the peer group.

  119. RELATIVE TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN

    | | Threshold | Target | Maximum | | Achieved rTSR | 15th Percentile | 50th Percentile | 85th Percentile | | Payout | 50% | 100% | 200% |

  122. 2025 LTIP AWARDS

    The Annual LTI awards were granted on March 3rd in accordance with our normal grant practice. The number of PSUs and RSUs awarded was determined by dividing the dollar target value for each NEO by the closing price for Chemours common stock on grant date and rounding down to the nearest whole share. The closing price of Chemours common stock was $13.86 on March 3, 2025.

  123. 2025 LTIP AWARDS

    | 2026 PROXY STATEMENT | | 61 |

  124. 2025 LTIP AWARDS

    The number of shares underlying NQSOs awarded was determined based on the Black-Scholes value. The Black-Scholes value of an option was $4.17 on March 3, 2025. The exercise price of the NQSOs was equal to the closing price of Chemours common stock on the grant date. (3) The number of shares underlying PSOs awarded was determined based on the Monte-Carlo value which was $3.90 on March 3, 2025. The exercise price of the PSOs was equal to 110% of the closing price of Chemours common stock on the grant date.

  125. 2023 – 2025 PSU AWARD RESULTS

    2023 – 2025 PSU AWARD RESULTS Shares earned from 2023 – 2025 PSUs were based on pre-established three-year cumulative targets for Adjusted Net Income (60%) and rTSR (40%). While the threshold was not achieved for Adjusted Net Income, the Company’s rTSR ranked in at the 40th percentile resulting in a metric achievement of 85.7%. The combined achievement for the plan was 34.3%. As a cyclical business, Chemours has historically faced difficulties in setting targets for performance metrics, and these challenges are exacerbated under fluctuating conditions. The dynamic market environment requires us to continuously adapt, making it more complex to establish three-year targets. The performance peer group for these PSUs was comprised of the following companies:

  130. THE NON-QUALIFIED MANAGEMENT DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN (“MDCP”)

    THE NON-QUALIFIED MANAGEMENT DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN (“MDCP”) Under the MDCP, a nonqualified elective deferred compensation plan, participants may defer salary, AIP, and certain incentive plan awards until a later date. Each year during the enrollment window eligible employees can elect to defer: 1 – 60% of “salary” and/or 1 – 60% of the annual incentives. Additionally, corporate officers may elect to defer settlement of their equity awards (i.e., RSUs and/or PSUs). NEOs are 100% vested in their deferrals and related investment experience. Amounts contributed to the non-qualified deferred compensation plans represent unsecured obligations of the Company and, as such, are subject to the risk of loss in the event of the Company’s insolvency or default.

  131. SEVERANCE BENEFITS

    SEVERANCE BENEFITS The Company maintains a severance policy under which executive officers and certain other employees of the Company are eligible for severance payments and benefits upon a termination without cause or resignation for good reason from the Company. The policy applies to executive officers and certain other employees of the Company designated for participation by the CLDC, or in the case of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Board. For additional information, see “Executive Compensation — Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control.” Benefits provided under the severance policy include: ▪ A lump sum cash payment of one times (two times for the CEO) the sum of the NEO’s base salary, target AIP and annualized health care subsidy; and ▪ A lump sum cash payment equal to the pro-rated portion of the NEO’s AIP for the year of termination. To ensure that executives remain focused on Chemours’ business during a period of uncertainty, the Company maintains a change-in-control severance plan for NEOs. For any benefits to be earned, a change in control must occur and the executive’s employment must be terminated following the change in control and during the term of the change-in-control severance plan, either by Chemours without cause or the executive for good reason (often

    called a “double trigger”). The plan does not provide tax gross-ups. For additional information, see “Executive Compensation — Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control.” Benefits provided under the change-in-control severance plan include: ▪ A lump sum cash payment of two times (three times for the CEO) the sum of the NEO’s base salary and target AIP; ▪ A lump sum cash payment equal to the pro-rated portion of the NEO’s AIP target for the year of termination; and ▪ Continued health and dental benefits, financial counseling and tax preparation, and outplacement services for up to two years (three years for the CEO) following the date of termination. The change-in-control severance plan also includes 12-month (18-month for the CEO) non-competition and non-solicitation covenants, non-disparagement, and confidentiality provisions.

  136. SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE (“SCT”)

    (1) Represents the aggregate grant date fair value of PSUs and RSUs computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718 disregarding estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting. The grant date fair value of each PSU granted to NEOs in 2025, assuming the probable outcome of the performance conditions, was determined to be $17.79. The techniques and assumptions used in determining the values can be found in Note 24 (“Stock-based Compensation”) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Chemours’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The grant date fair value of each RSU granted to NEOs in 2025 is equal to the closing share price of Chemours common stock on the grant date — $13.86 on March 3, 2025. (2) If the maximum level of performance were achieved, each NEO would earn 200% of the target number of PSUs awarded. Based on the closing price of Chemours common stock on the March 3 grant date ($13.86), the maximum value of PSUs awarded to each NEO in 2025 is as follows: Ms. Dignam — $2,950,000; Mr. Hostetter $757,477; Ms. Wellman — $437,477; Mr. Martinko — $372,474; and Mr. Familiar — $372,474.

  141. 2025 GRANTS OF PLAN BASED AWARDS

    (1) Nonequity incentive plan awards are short-term incentives that may be earned under the 2025 AIP. (2) Equity incentive plan awards are PSUs corresponding to a three-year performance period, FY2025 – FY2027. The NEOs may earn 50% of the target award upon attainment of threshold performance and up to 200% of the target award upon attainment of maximum performance. Performance outcomes will be determined following the conclusion of the performance period. Dividend equivalent units will be applied to the actual number of shares earned. The exercise price for stock options is equal to the fair market value of a share of Chemours common stock on the grant date. The exercise price for PSOs is equal to the fair market value of a share of Chemours common stock on the grant date plus a 10% premium. Stock options and PSOs are not credited with dividend equivalent units. NQSOs and PSOs feature three-year equal ratable vesting and a ten-year term.

    2025 NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION The following table provides information on the Company’s defined contribution or other plans that during 2025 provided for deferrals of compensation on a basis that is not tax qualified. Mses. Dignam and Wellman and each participated in the RSRP during 2025. Messrs. Hostetter, Martinko, and Familiar did not participate in the plan during 2025.

  161. 2025 NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

    (1) The amount in this column represents deferrals from salary and Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation under the RSRP and/or MDCP. The amounts are also included in the 2025 SCT. (2) The amount in this column represents employer contributions made under the RSRP; the amounts are also included in the 2025 SCT. (3) Earnings (loss) represent returns on investments in 20 core investment alternatives and interest accruals on cash balances, Chemours common stock returns, and dividend reinvestments. The core investment alternatives are the same investment alternatives available to all employees under the qualified plan. Interest is accrued on cash balances based on a rate that is traditionally less than 120% of the applicable federal rate, and dividend equivalents are accrued at a non-preferential rate. Accordingly, these amounts are not considered above-market or preferential earnings for purposes of, and are not included in, the 2025 SCT. This table reflects Salary and Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation amounts and Company contributions to qualified and nonqualified defined contribution plans reported in the aggregate balance at last fiscal year-end that were previously reported as compensation to the NEO in Chemours’ SCT for previous year(s).

  163. NARRATIVE DISCUSSION OF THE NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION TABLE

    NARRATIVE DISCUSSION OF THE NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION TABLE Chemours sponsors two non-qualified deferred compensation plans for the benefit of eligible employees. The RSRP supplements our qualified defined contribution plan, the Retirement Savings Plan (“RSP”), and is designed to provide benefits more than IRS qualified plan limits applicable to the RSP. The MDCP is an elective deferral plan that provides eligible employees with the opportunity to defer receipt of a specified portion of their compensation, thereby postponing income taxation on amounts deferred until the time such deferrals are distributed from the MDCP. Eligible employees may elect to participate in either, neither, or both non-qualified deferred compensation plans annually. The following provides an overview of the various deferral options as of December 31, 2025.

  164. POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

    POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL The table below summarizes the potential payouts to the NEOs, upon a termination from the Company, or under specified situations in a change in control as further described below. The amounts shown in the following table are approximate and reflect certain assumptions that the Company has made in accordance with the SEC’s rules. These assumptions include that the termination of employment or change in control occurred on December 31, 2025, and that the value of a share of the Company’s stock on that day was $11.79, the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2025. The table also includes potential payments under The Chemours Company 2017 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The treatment of benefits under each plan on termination or change in control is detailed in the footnotes to the table.

  170. CEO PAY RATIO

    CEO PAY RATIO There were no significant changes to the global employee population nor significant changes to employee compensation arrangements. Per SEC rules, Chemours is using the same median employee as last year for the CEO Pay Ratio. The CEO pay ratio figures below are a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules. The median employee’s compensation reflects compensation from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. Chemours chose total earnings including overtime pay as the consistently applied compensation measure. Chemours used a valid statistical sampling methodology to identify a population of employees whose base pay was within a 5% range of the median. Using this methodology, Chemours identified the median employee from that group. The total compensation for the selected median employee in 2025 was $121,131. The ratio of CEO pay to the median worker pay is 71:1.

  175. PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

    PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE Chemours and the CLDC are committed to ensuring alignment between Company performance and executive compensation to encourage and reward management for the creation of shareholder value. This Pay vs. Performance disclosure provides an additional perspective on our pay and performance alignment. This perspective is enhanced by the inclusion of Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”) to our PEOs and NEOs, which captures the annual change in management’s total, company-derived wealth. This provides a distinct view from total compensation for our CEO and NEO as set forth in the SCT, which captures the annual economic cost of compensation to the Company. CAP is a more suitable comparator to performance since it includes the effect of performance on executive compensation over time and the degree to which pay is aligned with performance. For further information concerning the Company’s variable pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to the “Executive Compensation” section of the CD&A.

  176. PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE TABLE

    PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE TABLE The following table shows the past five fiscal years’ of SCT total compensation, compensation actually paid, as calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K (“CAP”), our cumulative total shareholder return (“TSR”), the cumulative TSR of our performance peers over the same period, our net income, and our Adjusted EBITDA. As the table below demonstrates, there is a strong relationship between our financial outcomes and CAP to the principal executive officers (“PEOs”) and the average of CAP to the remaining NEOs. The CLDC believes strongly that the Company’s pay-for-performance approach is working as designed.

  188. HOW MANY VOTES ARE NEEDED TO ELECT THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES AND APPROVE EACH OF THE PROPOSALS?

    For the election of directors (Proposal 1), under the Bylaws, the number of votes cast “for” a nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “against” the nominee for the nominee to be elected as a director. For all other matters, except as set forth in the Certificate, the Bylaws or applicable law, the approval of the holders of a majority of votes represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal is required for approval of a proposal under the Bylaws. In accordance with the voting standards set forth above, abstentions from voting on a matter by a shareholder present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting have no effect on the election of directors but have the same effect as votes “against” the other proposals. Q.

  189. WHAT HAPPENS IF AN INCUMBENT DIRECTOR NOMINEE DOES NOT RECEIVE A MAJORITY OF THE VOTES CAST FOR HIS OR HER RE-ELECTION AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?

    WHAT HAPPENS IF AN INCUMBENT DIRECTOR NOMINEE DOES NOT RECEIVE A MAJORITY OF THE VOTES CAST FOR HIS OR HER RE-ELECTION AT THE ANNUAL MEETING? A. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board shall nominate for election or re-election only those candidates who agree to tender, promptly following the annual meeting at which they are elected or re-elected as a director, their irrevocable resignations contingent upon their failure to receive a majority of the votes cast for their election in an election that is not a contested election and the Board’s acceptance of such resignations. In the event an incumbent director fails to receive the required vote for re-election, the NCG Committee will make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the resignation of the incumbent director. The Board will act on the resignation, taking into account the recommendation of the NCG Committee, and publicly disclose its decision within ninety (90) days following certification of the election results. The NCG Committee in making its recommendation and the Board in making its decision may consider all facts and circumstances they consider relevant or appropriate in reaching their determinations. Q.
