Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On December 9, 2021, Kraton Corporation ("Kraton") held a special meeting of the stockholders of Kraton (the "Special Meeting"), at which stockholders of Kraton overwhelmingly (i) approved and adopted the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 27, 2021 (the "Merger Agreement") by and between DL Chemical Co., Ltd ("Parent"), DLC US Holdings, Inc., DLC US, Inc. ("Merger Subsidiary") and Kraton, under which Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into Kraton with Kraton surviving the Merger as an indirect, wholly-owned, subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger") and (ii) approved, by a non-binding, advisory vote, the compensation arrangements that will or may become payable to Kraton's named executive officers in connection with the Merger.

At the Special Meeting, holders of 23,153,426 shares of Kraton common stock, par value $0.01 ("Kraton common stock"), which represents approximately 72.02% of the shares of Kraton common stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of 3:00 p.m., central time, on November 4, 2021, the record date, were represented in person or by proxy.

The specific voting results for the proposals, each of which is described in greater detail in Kraton's definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2021, follow below:

Proposal 1. To approve and adopt the Merger Agreement.
