Appointment of Principal Accounting Officer
On February 22, 2022, Celanese Corporation (“Celanese”
or the “Company”) appointed Aaron M. McGilvray to the position of Vice
President and Chief Accounting Officer (principal accounting officer), effective March 14, 2022. In this role, Mr. McGilvray will
have global responsibility for SEC reporting, internal reporting, accounting, and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. Mr. McGilvray, 46, has
served as our assistant controller since January 2018. Prior to that he served as global director of technical accounting from March
2016 and technical accounting manager from December 2011, when he joined the Company. He began his career with PricewaterhouseCoopers,
where he held a number of positions of increasing responsibility over 13 years prior to joining Celanese. He holds Bachelor of
Business Administration and Master of Science degrees in Accounting from Texas A&M University and is a licensed Certified Public
Accountant in the State of Texas.
In connection with his appointment, Mr. McGilvray’s compensation
package will be increased to reflect: (1) a base salary of $285,000; (2) an annual cash bonus target of 40% of salary; and (3) eligibility,
beginning in 2023, for an annual long-term incentive award with grant date fair value of $140,000 to be granted pursuant to the terms
of the Company’s 2018 Global Incentive Plan, under same terms applicable to grants to Company leadership.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. McGilvray and
other persons pursuant to which he was appointed as Chief Accounting Officer. There are no family relationships between Mr. McGilvray
and any officer or director of the Company. There have been no transactions since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year,
and no transactions are currently proposed, in which the Company was or is to be a participant and in which Mr. McGilvray or any member
of his immediate family had or will have any interest, that are required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Mr. McGilvray succeeds Benita M. Casey, who is departing from her role
as Chief Accounting Officer of the Company. Her last day is expected to be June 1, 2022.
