Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Market and Dividend Information

Our shares were listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on October 14, 2010 under the symbol “LYB.”

The payment of dividends or distributions in the future will be subject to the requirements of Dutch law and the discretion and approval of our Board of Directors. The declaration of any future cash dividends and, if declared, the amount of any such dividends, will depend upon general business conditions, our financial condition, our earnings and cash flow, our capital requirements, financial covenants and other contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends or distributions.

We intend to continue to declare and pay quarterly dividends after giving consideration to our cash balances and expected results from operations. Our focus on funding our dividends is balanced with our commitment to maintain an investment grade balance sheet as part of our capital allocation strategy and there can be no assurance that any dividends or distributions will be declared or paid in the future.

Holders

As of February 18, 2026, there were approximately 5,000 record holders of our shares, including Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository Trust Company.

Equity Compensation Plan

See Part III, Item 11. Executive Compensation for information relating to the Company’s equity compensation plans.

United Kingdom Tax Considerations

As a result of its United Kingdom tax residency, dividend distributions by LyondellBasell Industries N.V. to its shareholders are not subject to withholding tax, as the United Kingdom currently does not levy a withholding tax on dividend distributions.
