Item 8.01Other Events.

As previously announced, on December 15, 2019, Ferro Corporation ("Ferro") and Pigments Spain, S.L. ("Buyer") entered into an Asset and Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") pursuant to which Ferro has agreed to sell Ferro's global tile coatings business to Buyer. The Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.

The Agreement has been included to provide security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Ferro or Buyer. The Agreement contains representations and warranties that Ferro, on one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, made to and solely for the benefit of each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the contract between the parties to the Agreement and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the contract or contained in confidential disclosure schedules. These disclosure schedules modify, qualify or create exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Agreement. Some of those representations and warranties (i) may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date and are modified, qualified and created in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules, (ii) may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to security holders or (iii) may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties to the Agreement rather than establishing matters as facts. For the foregoing reasons, the representations and warranties should not be relied upon as statements of factual information. Security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of Ferro or Buyer. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Ferro's public disclosures.
