HUNTSMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

HUNTSMAN INTERNATIONAL LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. GENERAL

CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

        For convenience in this report, the terms "Company," "our," "us" or "we" may be used to refer to Huntsman Corporation and, unless the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries and predecessors. In this report, "Huntsman International" refers to Huntsman International LLC (our 100% owned subsidiary) and, unless the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries; "HPS" refers to Huntsman Polyurethanes Shanghai Ltd. (our consolidated splitting joint venture with Shanghai Chlor-Alkali Chemical Company, Ltd); and "SLIC" refers to Shanghai Liengheng Isocyanate Company (our unconsolidated manufacturing joint venture with BASF AG and three Chinese chemical companies).

        In this report, we may use, without definition, the common names of competitors or other industry participants. We may also use the common names or abbreviations for certain chemicals or products.

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) and Huntsman International's interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP" or "U.S. GAAP") and in management's opinion reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for our Company and Huntsman International.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

        We are a global manufacturer of differentiated organic chemical products and of inorganic chemical products. Our products comprise a broad range of chemicals and formulations, which we market globally to a diversified group of consumer and industrial customers. Our products are used in a wide range of applications, including those in the adhesives, aerospace, automotive, construction products, durable and nondurable consumer products, electronics, medical, packaging, paints and coatings, power generation, refining, synthetic fiber, textile chemicals and dye industries. We are a leading global producer in many of our key product lines, including MDI, amines, surfactants, maleic anhydride, epoxy-based polymer formulations, textile chemicals, dyes and titanium dioxide.

        We operate in five segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects and Pigments. Our Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects segments produce differentiated organic chemical products and our Pigments segment produces inorganic chemical products.

COMPANY

        Our Company, a Delaware corporation, was formed in 2004 to hold the Huntsman businesses. Jon M. Huntsman founded the predecessor to our Company in the early 1970s as a small packaging

company. Since then, we have grown through a series of acquisitions and now own a global portfolio of businesses.

        We operate all of our businesses through Huntsman International, our 100% owned subsidiary. Huntsman International is a Delaware limited liability company.

HUNTSMAN CORPORATION AND HUNTSMAN INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        Except where otherwise indicated, these notes relate to the consolidated financial statements for both our Company and Huntsman International. The differences between our financial statements and Huntsman International's financial statements relate primarily to the following:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

        Our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) include the accounts of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and any variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated, except for intercompany sales between continuing and discontinued operations.

USE OF ESTIMATES

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

        Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. Beginning in 2011, we reclassified bank accepted drafts in China with maturities greater than 90 days from receipt from accounts receivable to other current assets.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Redemption of 7.375% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2015

        On July 25, 2011, Huntsman International redeemed the remaining $75 million of its 7.375% senior subordinated notes due 2015. The total redemption payment, excluding accrued interest, was $77 million, which included $2 million of call premiums. We expect to record a loss on early extinguishment of debt for this transaction in the third quarter of 2011 of $2 million.

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ADOPTED DURING 2011

        In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. This ASU provides amendments to the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. The amendments in this ASU replace the term "fair value" in the revenue allocation guidance with "selling price" to clarify that the allocation of revenue is based on entity-specific assumptions rather than assumptions of a marketplace participant and establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The amendments in this ASU will eliminate the residual method of allocation and require that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, and significantly expand the required disclosures related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The amendments in this ASU were effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010. The initial adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        In December 2010, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued ASU No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805)—Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations, which requires public entities that present comparative financial statements to disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred at the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in this ASU also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in this ASU are effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. We complied with the disclosure requirements of this standard in connection with our April 2, 2011 acquisition of Laffans Petrochemicals Limited and in connection with our April 1, 2011 consolidation of the Sasol-Huntsman GmbH and Co. KG ("Sasol-Huntsman") joint venture. See "Note 3. Business Combinations" and "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities."

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)


ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS PENDING ADOPTION IN FUTURE PERIODS

        In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, providing a consistent definition of fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as well as developing common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively and will be effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, requiring entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity is eliminated. The amendments do not change the option to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects, with one amount shown for the aggregate income tax expense or benefit related to the total of other comprehensive income components. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively and will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

LAFFANS ACQUISITION

        On April 2, 2011, we completed the acquisition of the chemical business of Laffans Petrochemicals Limited ("Laffans"), an amines and surfactants manufacturer located in Ankleshwar, India (the "Laffans Acquisition"). The acquisition cost of approximately $23 million remains subject to finalization of closing working capital. The acquired business has been integrated into our Performance Products segment. Transaction costs charged to expense related to this acquisition were not significant.

        We have accounted for the Laffans Acquisition using the acquisition method. As such, we analyzed the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary

        The acquisition cost allocation is preliminary pending final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including final valuation of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and the determination of related deferred taxes. For purposes of this preliminary allocation of fair value, we have assigned any excess of the acquisition cost of historical carrying values to property, plant and equipment and no amounts have been allocated to goodwill. It is possible that changes to this allocation could occur.

        If this acquisition were to have occurred on January 1, 2010, the following estimated pro forma revenues and net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation and Huntsman International would have been reported (dollars in millions):

4. INVENTORIES

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using last-in first-out ("LIFO"), first-in first-out, and average costs methods for different components of inventory. Inventories consisted of the following (dollars in millions):

 
  June 30,
2011
  December 31,
2010
 

Raw materials and supplies

  $ 403   $ 321  

Work in progress

    107     99  

Finished goods

    1,323     1,043  
           

Total

    1,833     1,463  

LIFO reserves

    (87 )   (67 )
           

Net

  $ 1,746   $ 1,396  
           

        As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximately 10% and 12%, respectively, of inventories were recorded using the LIFO cost method.

        In the normal course of operations we, at times, exchange raw materials and finished goods with other companies for the purpose of reducing transportation costs. The net nonmonetary open exchange positions are valued at cost. The amounts included in inventory under nonmonetary open exchange agreements receivable by us as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $4 million and $3 million, respectively. Other open exchanges are settled in cash and result in a net deferred profit margin. The amounts payable under these open exchange agreements as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $1 million and nil, respectively.

5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

        We evaluate our investments and transactions to identify variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which we are the primary beneficiary. We hold a variable interest in the following four joint ventures for which we are the primary beneficiary:

        Sasol-Huntsman had revenues and earnings of $44 million and $7 million, respectively, for the period from the date of consolidation to June 30, 2011. If this consolidation had occurred on January 1, 2010, the approximate pro forma revenues attributable to both our Company and Huntsman International would have been $2,366 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $5,643 million and $4,479 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. There would have been no impact to the combined earnings attributable to us or Huntsman International excluding a one-time noncash gain of approximately $12 million recognized upon consolidation included in other operating income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) (unaudited). Upon consolidation we also recognized a one-time noncash income tax expense of approximately $2 million. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was estimated to be $61 million at April 1, 2011. The noncontrolling interest was valued at 50% of the fair value of the net assets as of April 1, 2011, as dictated by the ownership interest percentages, adjusted for certain tax consequences only applicable to one parent.

We had no borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Facility; we had approximately $26 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit and bank guarantees issued and outstanding under our Revolving Facility.

(2)
The Revolving Facility matures in March 2014, but is subject to optional extensions from time to time with the consent of the lenders and subject to certain specified conditions and exceptions. Notwithstanding the stated maturity dates, the maturities of the Revolving Facility and Term Loan B will accelerate if we do not repay, or refinance, all but $100 million of Huntsman International's outstanding debt securities on or before three months prior to the maturity dates of such debt securities. The maturity of the Extended Term Loan B will also accelerate if we do not repay, refinance or have a minimum level of liquidity available to enable us to refinance or repay our outstanding 5.50% senior notes due 2016 at least three months prior to the maturity date of such notes.

        Our obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are guaranteed by our guarantor subsidiaries, which consist of substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries and certain of our foreign subsidiaries, and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our domestic property, plant and equipment, the stock of all of our material domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries and pledges of intercompany notes between certain of our subsidiaries.

Amendments to Senior Credit Facilities

        On March 7, 2011, Huntsman International entered into a sixth amendment to its credit agreement. The amendment, among other things, extended $650 million of aggregate principal of Term Loan B to a stated maturity of April 2017. As noted in the table above, after the amendment, as of June 30, 2011, we have $652 million outstanding on Term Loan B with maturity of April 2014 and $650 million outstanding on Extended Term Loan B with a maturity of April 2017. The amendment increased the interest rate margin with respect to Extended Term Loan B by 1.0%.

        Extended Term Loan B will amortize in an amount equal to 1.0% of the principal amount, payable annually commencing on March 31, 2012. The amendment also grants Huntsman International the right to request an extension of the remaining principal balance of Term Loan B to the stated maturity date of Extended Term Loan B.

A/R Programs

        Our U.S. and European accounts receivable programs ("U.S. A/R Program," "EU A/R Program" and collectively "A/R Programs") are structured so that we grant a participating undivided interest in certain of our trade receivables to a U.S. special purpose entity ("U.S. SPE") and a European special purpose entity ("EU SPE"). We retain the servicing rights and a retained interest in the securitized receivables. Information regarding the A/R Programs as of June 30, 2011 is as follows (monetary amounts in millions):

The amount of actual availability under the A/R Programs may be lower based on the level of eligible receivables sold, changes in the credit ratings of our customers, customer concentration levels, and certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred, as defined in the applicable agreements.

(2)
Each interest rate is defined in the applicable agreements. In addition, the U.S. SPE and the EU SPE are obligated to pay unused commitment fees to the lenders based on the amount of each lender's commitment.

(3)
Applicable rate for the U.S. A/R Program is defined by the lender as either USD LIBOR or CP rate. Applicable rate for the EU A/R Program is either GBP LIBOR, USD LIBOR or EURIBOR.

        As of June 30, 2011, $698 million of accounts receivable were pledged as collateral under the A/R Programs.

Amendments to A/R Programs

        On April 15, 2011, Huntsman International entered into an amendment to the EU A/R Program. This amendment, among other things, extended the scheduled commitment termination date of the program to April 2014, added an additional lender to the program and reduced the applicable margin on borrowings to 2.0%.

        On April 18, 2011, Huntsman International entered into an amendment to the U.S. A/R Program.

This amount was classified as current on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) as of June 30, 2011. The total redemption payment, excluding accrued interest, was $77 million, which included $2 million of call premiums. We expect to record a loss on early extinguishment of debt for this transaction in the third quarter of 2011 of $2 million.

Variable Interest Entity Debt

        On April 1, 2011 we began consolidating Sasol-Huntsman which was previously accounted for under the equity method. See "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities." Sasol-Huntsman has a facility agreement for a €77 million term loan facility (approximately $111 million) and a €5 million revolving facility (approximately $7 million). As of June 30, 2011, Sasol-Huntsman had no borrowings under the revolving facility and had €76 million (approximately $109 million) outstanding under the term loan facility.

7. DEBT (Continued)

        The facility will be repaid over 15 semiannual installments, beginning December 2011, with final repayment scheduled for December 2018. Obligations under the facility agreement are secured by, among other things, first priority right on the property, plant and equipment of Sasol-Huntsman.

        As of June 30, 2011, Arabian Amines Company had $204 million outstanding under its loan commitments and debt financing arrangements.

Other Debt

        During the six months ended June 30, 2011, HPS repaid $2 million and RMB 118 million (approximately $18 million) of term loans and working capital loans under its secured facilities. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2011, HPS refinanced RMB 38 million (approximately $6 million) in working capital loans due beginning in 2011 to 2014. The interest rate on these facilities is LIBOR plus 0.48% for U.S. dollar borrowings and 90% of the Peoples Bank of China rate for RMB borrowings. As of June 30, 2011, HPS had $14 million in U.S. dollar borrowings and 362 million in RMB term loan and working capital borrowings (approximately $56 million) under these secured facilities.

        As of June 30, 2011, HPS also had RMB 499 million (approximately $77 million) outstanding under a loan facility for issuing working capital loans and for discounting commercial drafts with recourse.

        As of June 30, 2011, our Australian subsidiary has AUD32 million (approximately $34 million) outstanding under our Australian credit facility. The credit facility is comprised of a revolving facility with AUD17 million outstanding (approximately $19 million) and a term facility with AUD14 million outstanding (approximately $15 million). Our Australian subsidiary is currently not in compliance with a financial covenant contained in the credit facility. Our lender has agreed to modify certain terms of the credit facility, and we expect to complete this amendment in the third quarter of 2011. The amounts outstanding under our Australian credit facility were classified as current on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) as of June 30, 2011.

Note Payable from Huntsman International to Huntsman Corporation

        As of June 30, 2011, we have a loan of $535 million to our subsidiary, Huntsman International (the "Intercompany Note"). The Intercompany Note is unsecured and $100 million of the outstanding amount is classified as current as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2011, under the terms of the Intercompany Note, Huntsman International promises to pay us interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate per annum based on the previous monthly average borrowing rate obtained under our U.S. A/R Programs, less ten basis points (provided that the rate shall not exceed an amount that is 25 basis points less than the monthly average borrowing rate obtained for the U.S. LIBOR-based borrowings under our Revolving Facility).

7. DEBT (Continued)

COMPLIANCE WITH COVENANTS

        We believe that we are in compliance with the covenants contained in the agreements governing our material debt instruments, including our Senior Credit Facilities, our A/R Programs and our notes. However, our Australian subsidiary is currently not in compliance with a financial covenant contained in its credit facility. See "—Other Debt" above.

        Our Senior Credit Facilities are subject to a single financial covenant (the "Leverage Covenant") which applies only to the Revolving Facility and is tested at the Huntsman International level. The Leverage Covenant is applicable only if borrowings, letters of credit or guarantees are outstanding under the Revolving Facility (cash collateralized letters of credit or guarantees are not deemed outstanding). The Leverage Covenant is a net senior secured leverage ratio covenant which requires that Huntsman International's ratio of senior secured debt to EBITDA (as defined in the applicable agreement) is not more than 3.75 to 1.

        If in the future Huntsman International failed to comply with the Leverage Covenant, then we may not have access to liquidity under our Revolving Facility. If Huntsman International failed to comply with the Leverage Covenant at a time when we had uncollateralized loans or letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility, Huntsman International would be in default under the Senior Credit Facilities, and, unless Huntsman International obtained a waiver or forbearance with respect to such default (as to which we can provide no assurance), Huntsman International could be required to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full, and we may not have further access to such facilities.

        The agreements governing our A/R Programs also contain certain receivable performance metrics. Any material failure to meet the applicable A/R Programs' metrics in the future could lead to an early termination event under the A/R Programs, which could require us to cease our use of such facilities, prohibiting us from additional borrowings against our receivables or, at the discretion of the lenders, requiring that we repay the A/R Programs in full. An early termination event under the A/R Programs would also constitute an event of default under our Senior Credit Facilities, which could require us to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full and could result in the loss of our Senior Credit Facilities.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

        We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity pricing risks. From time to time, we enter into transactions, including transactions involving derivative instruments, to manage certain of these exposures.

        All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are recorded on our balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged items are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, to the extent effective, and will be recognized in the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. To the extent applicable, we perform effectiveness assessments in order to use hedge accounting at each reporting period. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (Continued)

        We also hedge our net investment in certain European operations. Changes in the fair value of the hedge in the net investment of certain European operations are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.

        Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variation. Our revenues and expenses are denominated in various currencies. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency derivative instruments to minimize the short-term impact of movements in foreign currency rates. Where practicable, we generally net multicurrency cash balances among our subsidiaries to help reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. Certain other exposures may be managed from time to time through financial market transactions, principally through the purchase of spot or forward foreign exchange contracts (generally with maturities of one year or less). We do not hedge our currency exposures in a manner that would eliminate the effect of changes in exchange rates on our cash flows and earnings. As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately $250 million in notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in forward foreign currency contracts.

        On December 9, 2009, we entered into a five-year interest rate contract to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. The notional value of the contract is $50 million and was designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swap was recorded in other comprehensive loss. We will pay a fixed 2.6% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate. As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of the hedge was less than $2 million and is recorded in other noncurrent liabilities.

        On January 19, 2010, we entered into a five-year interest rate contract to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. The notional value of the contract is $50 million and was designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swap was recorded in other comprehensive loss. We will pay a fixed 2.8% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate. As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of the hedge was less than $3 million and is recorded in other noncurrent liabilities.

        Beginning in 2009, Arabian Amines Company entered into a 12 year floating to fixed interest rate contract providing to us LIBOR interest payments for a fixed payment of 5.02%. In connection with the consolidation of Arabian Amines Company as of July 1, 2010, the interest rate contract is now consolidated by Huntsman International. See "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities." The notional amount of the hedge as of June 30, 2011 is $40 million and the interest rate contract is not designated as a cash flow hedge. As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of the hedge was $5 million and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded interest income of $1 million and nil, respectively.

        In 2009, Sasol-Huntsman entered into derivative transactions to hedge the variable interest rate associated with its local credit facility. These derivative rate hedges include a floating to fixed interest rate contract providing Sasol-Huntsman with EURIBOR interest payments for a fixed payment of 3.62% and a cap for future periods with a strike price of 3.62%. In connection with the consolidation of Sasol-Huntsman as of April 1, 2011, the interest rate contract is now included in our consolidated results. See "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities." The notional amount of the hedge as of June 30, 2011 is €54 million (approximately $77 million) and the derivative transactions do not qualify for hedge

accounting. As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of this hedge was €1 million (approximately $2 million) and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        In conjunction with the issuance of $350 million of 8.625% senior subordinated notes due 2020, we entered into cross-currency interest rate contracts with three counterparties. On March 17, 2010, we paid $350 million to these counterparties and received €255 million from these counterparties and at maturity on March 15, 2015 we are required to pay €255 million and will receive $350 million. On March 15 and September 15 of each year, we will receive U.S. dollar interest payments of approximately $15 million (equivalent to an annual rate of 8.625%) and make interest payments of approximately €11 million (equivalent to an annual rate of approximately 8.41%). This swap is designated as a hedge of net investment for financial reporting purposes. As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of this swap was $5 million and was recorded as noncurrent liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet (unaudited). For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of $9 million and $24 million, respectively was recorded at a loss in other comprehensive income.

        As of and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, the changes in fair value of the realized gains (losses) recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited) of our other outstanding foreign currency rate hedging contracts and derivatives were not considered significant.

        A significant portion of our intercompany debt is denominated in euros. We also finance certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries with intercompany loans that are, in many cases, denominated in currencies other than the entities' functional currency. We manage the net foreign currency exposure created by this debt through various means, including cross-currency swaps, the designation of certain intercompany loans as permanent loans because they are not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future ("permanent loans") and the designation of certain debt and swaps as net investment hedges.

        Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are not designated as permanent loans are recorded in earnings. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are designated as permanent loans are recorded in other comprehensive loss. From time to time, we review such designation of intercompany loans.

        From time to time, we review our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt and swaps to determine the appropriate amounts designated as hedges. As of June 30, 2011, we have designated €363 million (approximately $521 million) of euro-denominated debt and cross-currency interest rate swap as a hedge of our net investments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the amount of loss recognized on the hedge of our net investments was $12 million and $35 million and was recorded as a loss in other comprehensive loss. As of June 30, 2011, we had €1,050 million (approximately $1,507 million) in net euro assets.

LEGAL MATTERS

Asbestos Litigation

        We have been named as a "premises defendant" in a number of asbestos exposure cases, typically claims by nonemployees of exposure to asbestos while at a facility. In the past, these cases typically have involved multiple plaintiffs bringing actions against multiple defendants, and the complaints have not indicated which plaintiffs were making claims against which defendants, where or how the alleged injuries occurred or what injuries each plaintiff claimed. These facts, which would be central to any estimate of probable loss, generally have been learned only through discovery.

        Where a claimant's alleged exposure occurred prior to our ownership of the relevant "premises," the prior owners generally have contractually agreed to retain liability for, and to indemnify us against, asbestos exposure claims. This indemnification is not subject to any time or dollar amount limitations. Upon service of a complaint in one of these cases, we tender it to the prior owner. None of the complaints in these cases state the amount of damages being sought. The prior owner accepts responsibility for the conduct of the defense of the cases and payment of any amounts due to the claimants. In our seventeen-year experience with tendering these cases, we have not made any payment with respect to any tendered asbestos cases. We believe that the prior owners have the intention and ability to continue to honor their indemnity obligations, although we cannot assure you that they will continue to do so or that we will not be liable for these cases if they do not.

        The following table presents for the periods indicated certain information about cases for which service has been received that we have tendered to the prior owner, all of which have been accepted.

Although the indemnifying party informs us when tendered cases have been resolved, it generally does not inform us of the settlement amounts relating to such cases, if any. The indemnifying party has informed us that it typically manages our defense together with the defense of other entities in such cases and resolves claims involving multiple defendants simultaneously, and that it considers the allocation of settlement amounts, if any, among defendants to be confidential and proprietary. Consequently, we are not able to provide the number of cases resolved with payment by the indemnifying party or the amount of such payments.

        We have never made any payments with respect to these cases. As of June 30, 2011, we had an accrued liability of $13 million relating to these cases and a corresponding receivable of $13 million relating to our indemnity protection with respect to these cases. We cannot assure you that our liability

will not exceed our accruals or that our liability associated with these cases would not be material to our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity; accordingly, we are not able to estimate the amount or range of loss in excess of our accruals. Additional asbestos exposure claims may be made against us in the future, and such claims could be material. However, because we are not able to estimate the amount or range of losses associated with such claims, we have made no accruals with respect to unasserted asbestos exposure claims as of June 30, 2011.

        Certain cases in which we are a "premises defendant" are not subject to indemnification by prior owners or operators. The following table presents for the periods indicated certain information about these cases. Cases include all cases for which service has been received by us. Certain prior cases that were filed in error against us have been dismissed.

        We paid gross settlement costs for asbestos exposure cases that are not subject to indemnification of $342,000 and $200,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, we had an accrual of $337,500 relating to these cases. We cannot assure you that our liability will not exceed our accruals or that our liability associated with these cases would not be material to our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity; accordingly, we are not able to estimate the amount or range of loss in excess of our accruals. Additional asbestos exposure claims may be made against us in the future, and such claims could be material. However, because we are not able to estimate the amount or range of losses associated with such claims, we have made no accruals with respect to unasserted asbestos exposure claims as of June 30, 2011.

Antitrust Matters

        We have been named as a defendant in civil class action antitrust suits alleging that between 1999 and 2004 we conspired with Bayer, BASF, Dow and Lyondell to fix the prices of MDI, TDI, polyether polyols, and related systems ("polyether polyol products") sold in the U.S. in violation of the federal Sherman Act. These cases are consolidated as the "Polyether Polyols" cases in multidistrict litigation pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas.

        In addition, we and the other Polyether Polyol defendants have been named as defendants in three civil antitrust suits brought by certain direct purchasers of polyether polyol products that opted out of the class certified in the Kansas multidistrict litigation. The relevant time frame for these cases is 1994 to 2004 and they are referred to as the "direct action cases."

        The class action and the direct action cases have been consolidated in the Kansas court for the purposes of discovery and other pretrial matters. Discovery in the direct action cases is ongoing and we do not anticipate a trial of the direct action cases until 2013.

        On May 26, 2011, we entered into a settlement agreement with the class plaintiffs. Although we vigorously deny any wrongdoing alleged in the litigation, we determined to enter into the settlement to avoid the substantial burdens and uncertainties inherent in complex business litigation.

        Under the settlement agreement, we paid $11 million into an escrow fund for the benefit of the class on June 27, 2011 after the court preliminarily approved the settlement. We will pay an additional $11 million within one year thereafter and a third $11 million payment within two years of the initial payment. In exchange for these payments, we will receive from the class a release and discharge of all claims against us, as described in the settlement agreement. The settlement is subject to final approval by the court after notice is given to the class members. The hearing on final approval is scheduled for September 27, 2011.

        We fully accrued for this matter in prior quarters. The settlement does not resolve the direct action cases nor the other pending antitrust litigation described below.

        Two purported class action cases were filed May 5 and 17, 2006 in the Superior Court of Justice, Ontario Canada and Superior Court, Province of Quebec, District of Quebec, by direct purchasers of MDI, TDI and polyether polyols and by indirect purchasers of these products. The class certification hearing is scheduled for April 2, 2012. A purported class action case filed February 15, 2002 by purchasers of products containing rubber and urethanes products and pending in Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco is stayed pending resolution of the Kansas multidistrict litigation. The plaintiffs in each of these matters make similar claims against the defendants as the class plaintiffs in the Kansas multidistrict litigation.

        We have been named as a defendant in two purported class action civil antitrust suits alleging that we and our co-defendants and other co-conspirators conspired to fix prices of titanium dioxide sold in the U.S. between at least March 1, 2002 and the present. The cases were filed on February 9 and 12, 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland and a consolidated complaint was filed on April 12, 2010. The other defendants named in this matter are E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Kronos Worldwide Inc., Millennium Inorganic Chemicals, Inc. and the National Titanium Dioxide Company Limited (d/b/a Cristal). A class certification hearing is scheduled for August 16, 2012 and trial is set to begin September 9, 2013. Discovery is ongoing.

        In all of the antitrust litigation currently pending against us, the plaintiffs generally are seeking injunctive relief, treble damages, costs of suit and attorneys fees. We are not aware of any illegal conduct by us or any of our employees. Nevertheless, we have incurred costs relating to these claims and could incur additional costs in amounts material to us.

Port Arthur Plant Fire Insurance Litigation Settlement

        On April 29, 2006, our former Port Arthur, Texas olefins manufacturing plant (which we sold to Flint Hills Resources in November 2007) experienced a major fire. The plant was covered by property damage and business interruption insurance through International Risk Insurance Company ("IRIC"),

our captive insurer, and certain reinsurers (the "Reinsurers"). The property damage and business interruption insurance was subject to a combined deductible of $60 million. We, together with IRIC, asserted claims to the Reinsurers related to losses occurring as a result of this fire. On August 31, 2007, the Reinsurers brought an action against us in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. The action sought to compel us to arbitrate with the Reinsurers to resolve disputes related to our claims or, in the alternative, to declare judgment in favor of the Reinsurers. Pursuant to a December 29, 2008 agreement, we participated with the Reinsurers in binding arbitration. We paid our deductible on the claim of $60 million and were paid $365 million by the Reinsurers prior to the commencement of binding arbitration. On May 14, 2010, we entered into a settlement agreement with the Reinsurers, including those Reinsurers that did not participate in the arbitration proceedings that resolved the remainder of our insurance claim for a total amount of $110 million. The Reinsurers completed the payment of this amount on June 15, 2010.

        As a result of this settlement, we recognized a gain of $110 million in discontinued operations during the second quarter of 2010, the proceeds of which were used to repay secured debt in accordance with relevant provisions of the agreements governing our senior secured credit facilities. Of the $110 million payment, $34 million was reflected within the statement of cash flows as cash flows from investing activities and the remaining $76 million was reflected as cash flows from operating activities.

Other Proceedings

        We are a party to various other proceedings instituted by private plaintiffs, governmental authorities and others arising under provisions of applicable laws, including various environmental, products liability and other laws. Except as otherwise disclosed in this report, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

14. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS

GENERAL

        We are subject to extensive federal, state, local and international laws, regulations, rules and ordinances relating to safety, pollution, protection of the environment and the generation, storage, handling, transportation, treatment, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances and waste materials. In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to frequent environmental inspections and monitoring and occasional investigations by governmental enforcement authorities. In addition, our production facilities require operating permits that are subject to renewal, modification and, in certain circumstances, revocation. Actual or alleged violations of safety laws, environmental laws or permit requirements could result in restrictions or prohibitions on plant operations, substantial civil or criminal sanctions, as well as, under some environmental laws, the assessment of strict liability and/or joint and several liability. Moreover, changes in environmental regulations could inhibit or interrupt our operations, or require us to modify our facilities or operations. Accordingly, environmental or regulatory matters may cause us to incur significant unanticipated losses, costs or liabilities.

14. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS (Continued)

ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY SYSTEMS

        We are committed to achieving and maintaining compliance with all applicable environmental, health and safety ("EHS") legal requirements, and we have developed policies and management systems that are intended to identify the multitude of EHS legal requirements applicable to our operations, enhance compliance with applicable legal requirements, ensure the safety of our employees, contractors, community neighbors and customers and minimize the production and emission of wastes and other pollutants. Although EHS legal requirements are constantly changing and are frequently difficult to comply with, these EHS management systems are designed to assist us in our compliance goals while also fostering efficiency and improvement and minimizing overall risk to us.

EHS CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

        We may incur future costs for capital improvements and general compliance under EHS laws, including costs to acquire, maintain and repair pollution control equipment. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 our capital expenditures for EHS matters totaled $34 million and $24 million, respectively. Because capital expenditures for these matters are subject to evolving regulatory requirements and depend, in part, on the timing, promulgation and enforcement of specific requirements, our capital expenditures for EHS matters have varied significantly from year to year and we cannot provide assurance that our recent expenditures will be indicative of future amounts required under EHS laws.

REMEDIATION LIABILITIES

        We have incurred, and we may in the future incur, liability to investigate and clean up waste or contamination at our current or former facilities or facilities operated by third parties at which we may have disposed of waste or other materials. Similarly, we may incur costs for the cleanup of waste that was disposed of prior to the purchase of our businesses. Under some circumstances, the scope of our liability may extend to damages to natural resources.

        Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and similar state laws, a current or former owner or operator of real property may be liable for remediation costs regardless of whether the release or disposal of hazardous substances was in compliance with law at the time it occurred, and a current owner or operator may be liable regardless of whether it owned or operated the facility at the time of the release. Outside the U.S., analogous contaminated property laws, such as those in effect in France and Australia, can hold past owners and/or operators liable for remediation at former facilities. We have been notified by third parties of claims against us for cleanup liabilities at approximately 10 former facilities or third party sites, including, but not limited to, sites listed under CERCLA. Based on current information and past experiences at other CERCLA sites, we do not expect any of these third party claims to result in material liability to us.

        One of these sites, the North Maybe Canyon Mine CERCLA site, includes an abandoned phosphorous mine near Soda Springs, Idaho believed to have been operated by one of our predecessor companies (El Paso Products Company). In 2004, the U.S. Forest Service notified us that we are a CERCLA Potentially Responsible Party (a "PRP") for the mine site involving selenium contaminated

surface water. Under a 2004 administrative order, the current mine lessee, Nu-West Industries, Inc., began undertaking the investigation required for a CERCLA removal process. In 2008, the site was transitioned to the CERCLA remedial action process, which requires a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (an "RI/FS"). In 2009, the Forest Service notified the three PRPs (our Company, Nu-West and Wells Cargo) that it would undertake the RI/FS itself. On February 19, 2010, in conjunction with Wells Cargo, we agreed to jointly comply with a unilateral administrative order (a "UAO") to conduct an RI/FS of the entire West Ridge of the site, although we are alleged to have had only a limited historical presence in the investigation area. In March 2010, following the initiation of litigation by Nu-West, the Forest Service assumed Nu-West's original investigation obligations. On June 15, 2010, we received the UAO which had been executed by the Forest Service and we are presently carrying out the requirements of the order. We continue to coordinate with our insurers regarding policy coverage in this matter. At this time, we do not believe the costs to remediate this site will be material to our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

        In addition, under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") and similar state laws, we may be required to remediate contamination originating from our properties as a condition to our hazardous waste permit. Some of our manufacturing sites have an extended history of industrial chemical manufacturing and use, including on-site waste disposal. We are aware of soil, groundwater or surface contamination from past operations at some of our sites, and we may find contamination at other sites in the future. For example, our Port Neches, Texas, and Geismar, Louisiana, facilities are the subject of ongoing remediation requirements under RCRA authority. Similar laws exist in a number of locations in which we currently operate, or previously operated, manufacturing facilities, such as Australia, Switzerland and Italy.

        In June of 2006, an agreement was reached between the local regulatory authorities and our Advanced Materials site in Pamplona, Spain to relocate our manufacturing operations in order to facilitate new urban development desired by the city. Subsequently, as required by the authorities, soil and groundwater sampling was performed and followed by a quantitative risk assessment. In October 2010, the local authorities approved our proposed two-phase remedial approach. The first phase was installed in 2011 and involves groundwater extraction and treatment in one limited area of the site. The second phase, not yet defined, would proceed during site redevelopment. As the second phase remediation has not yet been defined, we are unable to assess the amount of any potential liability.

        By letter dated March 7, 2006, our Base Chemicals and Polymers facility in West Footscray, Australia, was issued a clean-up notice by the Environment Protection Authority, Victoria, Australia (the "EPA Victoria") due to concerns about soil and groundwater contamination emanating from the site. The agency revoked the original clean-up notice on September 4, 2007 and issued a revised clean-up notice due to "the complexity of contamination issues" at the site. In the third quarter of 2009, we recorded a $30 million liability related to estimated environmental remediation costs at this site. On August 23, 2010, EPA Victoria revoked the second clean-up notice and issued a revised notice that included a requirement for financial assurance for the remediation. We have now reached agreement with the agency that a mortgage on the land will be held by the agency as financial surety during the period covered by the current clean-up notice, which ends on July 30, 2014. We can provide no assurance that the agency will not seek to institute additional requirements for the site or that additional costs will not be associated with the clean up. This facility has been closed and demolished.

14. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS (Continued)

        By letter dated March 15, 2010, the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") notified us that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") has requested that the DOJ bring an action in federal court against us and other PRPs for recovery of costs incurred by the U.S. in connection with releases of hazardous substances from the State Marine Superfund Site in Port Arthur, Texas. As of August 31, 2007, the EPA had incurred and paid approximately $2.8 million in unreimbursed response costs related to the site. Prior to filing the complaint, the DOJ requested that PRPs sign and return a standard tolling agreement (from March 31, 2010 through September 30, 2010) and participate in settlement discussions. We originally responded to an information request regarding this site on March 7, 2005 and identified historical transactions associated with a predecessor of a company we acquired. The prior owners have contractually agreed to indemnify us in this matter. While the DOJ is aware of the indemnity, we may be required to participate in future settlement discussions; therefore, on March 29, 2010, we submitted the signed tolling agreement and offer to negotiate to the DOJ. The tolling agreement has since been extended through September 30, 2011.

        In many cases, our potential liability arising from historical contamination is based on operations and other events occurring prior to our ownership of a business or specific facility. In these situations, we frequently obtained an indemnity agreement from the prior owner addressing remediation liabilities arising from pre-closing conditions. We have successfully exercised our rights under these contractual covenants for a number of sites and, where applicable, mitigated our ultimate remediation liability. We cannot assure you, however, that the liabilities for all such matters subject to indemnity, will be honored by the prior owner or that our existing indemnities will be sufficient to cover our liabilities for such matters.

        Based on available information and the indemnification rights we believe are likely to be available, we believe that the costs to investigate and remediate known contamination will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, if such indemnities are not honored or do not fully cover the costs of investigation and remediation or we are required to contribute to such costs, then such expenditures may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. At the current time, we are unable to estimate the total cost, exclusive of indemnification benefits, to remediate any of the known contamination sites.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESERVES

        We have accrued liabilities relating to anticipated environmental cleanup obligations, site reclamation and closure costs and known penalties. Liabilities are recorded when potential liabilities are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Our liability estimates are calculated using present value techniques and are based upon requirements placed upon us by regulators, available facts, existing technology and past experience. The environmental liabilities do not include amounts recorded as asset retirement obligations. We had accrued $41 million and $48 million for environmental liabilities as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Of these amounts, $4 million and $13 million were classified as accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and $37 million and $35 million were classified as other noncurrent liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. In certain cases, our remediation liabilities may be payable over

periods of up to 30 years. We may incur losses for environmental remediation in excess of the amounts accrued; however, we are not able to estimate the amount or range of such potential excess.

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

        In December 2006, the EU parliament and EU council approved a new EU regulatory framework for chemicals called Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals ("REACH"). REACH took effect on June 1, 2007, and the program it establishes will be phased in over 11 years. Under the regulation, companies that manufacture in or import into the European Economic Area ("EEA") more than one metric tonne of a chemical substance per year will be required to register such chemical substances and isolated intermediates in a central database. Use authorizations will be granted for a specific chemical if the applicants can show that the risks in using the chemical are adequately controlled, and for chemicals where there are no suitable alternative substances or technologies available and the applicant can demonstrate that the social and economic benefits of using the chemical outweigh the risks. In addition, specified uses of some hazardous substances may be restricted. Furthermore, all applicants will have to study the availability of alternative chemicals. If an alternative is available, an applicant will have to submit a "substitution" plan to the regulatory agency. The regulatory agency will only authorize persistent bio-accumulative and toxic substances if an alternative chemical is not available. The registration, evaluation and authorization phases of the program will require expenditures and resource commitments in order to, for example, participate in mandatory data-sharing forums; acquire, generate and evaluate data; prepare and submit dossiers for substance registration; obtain legal advice and reformulate products, if necessary. We have established a cross-business European REACH team that is working closely with our businesses to identify and list all substances we purchase or manufacture in, or import into, the EEA. We met pre-registration REACH compliance requirements by the November 30, 2008 regulatory deadline, with the exception of pre-registrations for two substances, for a total of 1,850 pre-registrations for substances that we intended to register. These two substances, along with the other high-volume and high-priority chemicals, were successfully registered under the program by the November 30, 2010 regulatory deadline. Although the total long-term cost for REACH compliance is not estimable at this time, we spent approximately $9 million, $3 million and $2 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, on REACH compliance. However, we cannot provide assurance that these recent expenditures will be indicative of future amounts required for REACH compliance.

GREENHOUSE GAS REGULATION

        Although the existence of binding emissions limitations under international treaties such as the Kyoto Protocol is in doubt after 2012, we expect some or all of our operations to be subject to regulatory requirements to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases ("GHG"). Even in the absence of a new global agreement to limit GHGs, we may be subject to additional regulation under the European Union Emissions Trading System as well as new national and regional GHG trading programs. For example, our operations in Australia and selected U.S. states may be subject to future GHG regulations under emissions trading systems in those jurisdictions.

        Because the United States has not adopted federal climate change legislation, domestic GHG efforts are likely to be guided by EPA regulations in the near future. While EPA's GHG programs are

currently subject to judicial challenge, our domestic operations may become subject to EPA's regulatory requirements when implemented. In particular, expansions of our existing facilities or construction of new facilities may be subject to the Clean Air Act's Prevention of Significant Deterioration Requirements under EPA's GHG "Tailoring Rule." In addition, certain aspects of our operations may be subject to GHG emissions monitoring and reporting requirements. If we are subject to EPA GHG regulations, we may face increased monitoring, reporting, and compliance costs.

        We are already managing and reporting GHG emissions, to varying degrees, as required by law for our sites in locations subject to Kyoto Protocol obligations and/or EU emissions trading scheme requirements. Although these sites are subject to existing GHG legislation, few have experienced or anticipate significant cost increases as a result of these programs, although it is possible that GHG emission restrictions may increase over time. Potential consequences of such restrictions include capital requirements to modify assets to meet GHG emission restrictions and/or increases in energy costs above the level of general inflation, as well as direct compliance costs. Currently, however, it is not possible to estimate the likely financial impact of potential future regulation on any of our sites.

        Finally, it should be noted that some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHG in the Earth's atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climatic events. If any of those effects were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on our assets and operations.

CHEMICAL FACILITY ANTI-TERRORISM RULEMAKING

        In 2007, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") issued the final "Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standard." To comply, chemical manufacturing facilities using specified chemicals in threshold quantities were required to submit a "Top Screen" questionnaire to the DHS in 2008. Consequently, we submitted Top Screens for all of our covered facilities and later the DHS designated four of our facilities as "High Risk" sites. In late 2008, these four sites performed and submitted DHS-required security vulnerability assessments. DHS subsequently deemed one of these sites to be on a high security risk tier, and the other three to be on a lower security risk tier. The three lower-tiered sites submitted Site Security Plans ("SSPs") to the DHS, but security improvements recommended from the SSPs are not anticipated to be material. The higher-tiered site also submitted an SSP to the DHS, and DHS-required security upgrades were estimated to cost $8 million to $10 million to be spent during 2011 and 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we spent approximately $2 million on these security upgrades. However, in June 2011, the DHS unexpectedly lowered the high-tiered site's risk ranking one level. Consequently, security upgrades are not expected to be as costly as originally projected for the higher-level ranking. Additional security upgrades will be required, but the extent and cost of these upgrades cannot be determined until the facility meets with the DHS to review the ranking change.

MTBE DEVELOPMENTS

        We produce MTBE, an oxygenate that is blended with gasoline to reduce vehicle air emissions and to enhance the octane rating of gasoline. Litigation or legislative initiatives restricting the use of MTBE in gasoline may subject us or our products to environmental liability or materially adversely affect our

sales and costs. Because MTBE has contaminated some water supplies, its use has become controversial in the U.S. and elsewhere, and its use has been effectively eliminated in the U.S. market. We currently market MTBE, either directly or through third parties, to gasoline additive customers located outside the U.S., although there are additional costs associated with such outside-U.S. sales which may result in decreased profitability compared to historical sales in the U.S. We may also elect to use all or a portion of our precursor TBA to produce saleable products other than MTBE. If we opt to produce products other than MTBE, necessary modifications to our facilities will require significant capital expenditures and the sale of such other products may produce a lower level of cash flow than that historically produced from the sale of MTBE.

        Numerous companies, including refiners, manufacturers and sellers of gasoline, as well as manufacturers of MTBE, have been named as defendants in numerous cases in U.S. courts that allege MTBE contamination in groundwater. The plaintiffs in the MTBE groundwater contamination cases generally seek compensatory damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief, such as monitoring and abatement, and attorney fees. Between 2007 and 2009, we were named as a defendant in 18 of these lawsuits in New York state and federal courts, which we settled in an amount immaterial to us.

        It is possible that we could be named as a defendant in existing or future MTBE contamination cases. We cannot provide assurances that adverse results against us in existing or future MTBE contamination cases will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

INDIA INVESTIGATION

        During the third quarter of 2010, we completed an internal investigation of the operations of Petro Araldite Pvt. Ltd. ("PAPL"), our majority owned joint venture in India. PAPL manufactures base liquid resins, base solid resins and formulated products in India. The investigation initially focused on allegations of illegal disposal of hazardous waste and waste water discharge and related reporting irregularities. Based upon preliminary findings, the investigation was expanded to include a review of the production and off-book sales of certain products and waste products. The investigation included the legality under Indian law and U.S. law, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, of certain payments made by employees of the joint venture to government officials in India. Records at the facility covering nine months in 2009 and early 2010 show that less than $11,000 in payments were made to officials for that period; in addition, payments in unknown amounts may have been made by individuals from the facility in previous years.

        In May and July 2010, PAPL fully disclosed the environmental noncompliance issues to the local Indian environmental agency, the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board ("TNPCB"). All environmental compliance and reporting issues have been addressed to the agency's satisfaction other than the use of freshwater for the dilution of wastewater effluent discharges and the remediation of several off-site solid waste disposal areas. Also in May 2010, we voluntarily contacted the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the DOJ to advise them of our investigation and that we intend to cooperate fully with each of them. We met with the SEC and the DOJ in October 2010 to discuss this matter and we continue to cooperate with these agencies. Steps have been taken to halt all known illegal or improper activity. These steps included the termination of employment of management

employees as appropriate. TNPCB directed us to submit a plan for the remediation of the off-site waste disposal areas and the plan was approved. The impacted off-site soil has been excavated and relocated to the site. Final disposal methods for the removed waste await approval from TNPCB.

        No conclusions can be drawn at this time as to whether any government agencies will open formal investigations of these matters or what remedies such agencies may seek. Governmental agencies could assess material civil and criminal penalties and fines against PAPL and potentially against us and could issue orders that adversely affect the operations of PAPL. We cannot, however, determine at this time the magnitude of the penalties and fines that could be assessed, the total costs to remediate the prior noncompliance or the effects of implementing any necessary corrective measures on PAPL's operations.

15. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

        Under the Huntsman Corporation Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the "Stock Incentive Plan"), a plan approved by stockholders, we may grant nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, phantom stock, performance awards and other stock-based awards to our employees, directors and consultants and to employees and consultants of our subsidiaries, provided that incentive stock options may be granted solely to employees. The terms of the grants are fixed at the grant date. As of June 30, 2011, we were authorized to grant up to 32.6 million shares under the Stock Incentive Plan. As of June 30, 2011, we had 10.3 million shares remaining under the Stock Incentive Plan available for grant. Option awards have a maximum contractual term of 10 years and generally must have an exercise price at least equal to the market price of our common stock on the date the option award is granted. Stock-based awards generally vest over a three-year period.

        The compensation cost from continuing operations under the Stock Incentive Plan for our Company and Huntsman International were as follows (dollars in millions):

STOCK OPTIONS

        The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock through the grant date. The expected term of options granted was estimated based on the contractual term of the instruments and employees' expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The assumptions noted below represent the weighted average of the assumptions utilized for stock options granted during the periods.

As of June 30, 2011, a total of 422,305 restricted stock units were vested, of which 93,173 vested during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Only 176,327 of these shares have been reflected as vested shares in this table because, in accordance with the restricted stock unit agreements, shares of common stock are not issued for vested restricted stock units until termination of employment.

        As of June 30, 2011, there was $32 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share compensation arrangements granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.4 years. The value of share awards that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $23 million and $18 million, respectively.

16. INCOME TAXES

        We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. We evaluate deferred tax assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Valuation allowances are reviewed on a tax jurisdiction basis to analyze whether there is sufficient positive or negative evidence to support a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets for each jurisdiction. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we released valuation allowances of $6 million on certain net deferred tax assets in Luxembourg. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we released a valuation allowance of $14 million on certain net deferred tax assets in Australia.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a net increase in unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding income tax expense of approximately $1 million and during the six months ended June 30, 2010 we recorded a net decrease in unrecognized tax benefits with a

corresponding income tax benefit of $7 million, resulting from the settlement of tax audits, the effective settlement of certain tax positions and the expiration of statutes of limitations, net of current year additions.

HUNTSMAN CORPORATION

        In addition to the tax benefits resulting from the valuation allowance release and the tax effects resulting from the unrecognized tax benefit items discussed above, during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 we recognized $1 million and $13 million of tax benefit, respectively, on $3 million and $162 million of loss on early extinguishment of debt (the majority of the 2010 loss is not deductible for tax purposes). Excluding these items, we recorded income tax expense of $62 million and $39 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our tax obligations are affected by the mix of income and losses in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate.

HUNTSMAN INTERNATIONAL

        In addition to the tax benefits resulting from the valuation allowance release and the tax effects resulting from the unrecognized tax benefit items discussed above, during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 Huntsman International recognized $1 million and $5 million of tax benefit, respectively, on $3 million and $16 million of loss on early extinguishment of debt. Excluding these items, Huntsman International recorded income tax expense of $62 million and $42 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our tax obligations are affected by the mix of income and losses in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate.

that were used in the manufacture of fiberglass swimming pools. HCCA ceased manufacturing these resins by 2004 and sold the business that manufactured and sold these resins in 2007.

        In 2010 and 2011, the courts found HCCA liable for damage to certain swimming pools and one court issued a ruling awarding $87,000 per pool for each of 423 known damaged pools, plus an additional 143 pools that could potentially fail plus economic damages, costs and interest in amounts still to be determined.

        These and other related claims were tendered to HCCA's insurers, who continue to defend these matters. During the first quarter of 2011, HCCA increased its estimate of potential loss related to these claims and recorded a liability for the full estimated value of the claims and a corresponding receivable relating to our indemnity protection with a net charge to discontinued operations for any potential shortfall in insurance coverage.

U.S. BASE CHEMICALS AND NORTH AMERICAN POLYMERS DISPOSITIONS

        In 2007, we completed the sale of our former U.S. base chemicals business (the "U.S. Base Chemicals Disposition") and our North American polymers business assets (the "North American Polymers Disposition"). The results of these former businesses are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited).

        During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded after tax income from discontinued operations related to our former U.S. base chemicals and North American polymers businesses of $68 million and $67 million, respectively, which consisted of a $110 million pretax gain recorded in connection with the final settlement of insurance claims related to the 2006 fire at our former Port Arthur, Texas plant and a pretax gain of $7 million from the settlement of insurance claims related to the 2005 gulf coast storms, offset in part by income taxes and legal fees related to the arbitration of the fire insurance claim.

18. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

        Basic income (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects potential dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive units had been exercised or converted.

        Additional stock-based awards of 6.2 million and 6.9 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and additional stock-based awards of 6.1 million and 6.6 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These stock-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 periods because the effect would be anti-dilutive. In addition, our 7% convertible notes due 2018 would have had a weighted average effect of 1.8 million shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and interest expense, net of tax, of $1 million would have been included as an adjustment to the numerator of the diluted loss per share calculation for the six months ended June 30, 2010. However, the potential effect of assumed conversion of the convertible notes due 2018 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2010 because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

19. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

        We derive our revenues, earnings and cash flows from the manufacture and sale of a wide variety of differentiated chemical products. We have reported our operations through five segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects and Pigments.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        With respect to Huntsman Corporation, certain information set forth in this report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Huntsman International is a limited liability company, and, pursuant to Section 21E(b)(2)(E) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the safe harbor for certain forward-looking statements is inapplicable to it. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions and other information that is not historical information. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may," "should," "anticipates," or "intends" or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. We may also make additional forward-looking statements from time to time. All such subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, by us or on our behalf, are also expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

        All forward-looking statements, including without limitation management's examination of historical operating trends, are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them, but, there can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs and projections will result or be achieved. All forward-looking statements apply only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

        There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in or contemplated by this report. Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of the risks referenced in "Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

OVERVIEW

Business

        We are a global manufacturer of differentiated organic chemical products and of inorganic chemical products. Our products comprise a broad range of chemicals and formulations, which we market globally to a diversified group of consumer and industrial customers. Our products are used in a wide range of applications, including those in the adhesives, aerospace, automotive, construction products, durable and nondurable consumer products, electronics, medical, packaging, paints and coatings, power generation, refining, synthetic fiber, textile chemicals and dye industries. We are a leading global producer in many of our key product lines, including MDI, amines, surfactants, epoxy-based polymer formulations, textile chemicals, dyes, maleic anhydride and titanium dioxide. We had revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 of $5,613 million and $4,437 million, respectively.

        We operate in five segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects and Pigments. Our Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects segments produce differentiated organic chemical products and our Pigments segment produces inorganic chemical products.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Redemption of 7.375% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2015

        On July 25, 2011, Huntsman International redeemed the remaining $75 million of its 7.375% senior subordinated notes due 2015. The total redemption payment, excluding accrued interest, was $77 million, which included $2 million of call premiums. We expect to record a loss on early extinguishment of debt for this transaction in the third quarter of 2011 of $2 million.

OUTLOOK

        Global demand for most of our products is strong and we continue to be encouraged by underlying trends within our largest businesses. Average selling prices increased on a quarterly basis both from the prior year and sequentially within all our businesses, a trend we expect to continue in the near term for most of our businesses, most notably in our Pigments business.

        We continue to be optimistic that we will see stable to improving markets globally for the remainder of 2011. Nevertheless, we recognize that there are significant continuing economic risks that could materially impact our earnings performance. Continued government budgetary issues, both in the U.S. and in Europe, and inflation containment efforts in China are headwinds to accelerating demand in this stage of the economic cycle. While we anticipate that our raw material and energy costs will remain at elevated levels in response to increased demand, subject to global economic growth we expect our margins will continue to improve.

        Our management believes that our strategic and financial approach to the operation of our business—focusing on growth in Asia and other emerging markets and debt reduction—will provide us a foundation for long-term earnings growth.

NM—Not Meaningful

(1)
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International LLC, as appropriate, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA enhances an investor's understanding of our financial performance. However, EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International LLC, as appropriate, or other measures of performance as defined by GAAP. Moreover, EBITDA as used herein is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. Our management uses EBITDA to assess financial performance by reviewing EBITDA as a general indicator of economic performance compared with prior periods. Because EBITDA excludes interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, EBITDA provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by debt restructurings, fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, or levels of depreciation and amortization. Accordingly, our

70


Table of Contents


Adjusted EBITDA is computed by eliminating the following from EBITDA: unallocated foreign exchange gains; loss on early extinguishment of debt; legal settlements; EBITDA from discontinued operations; acquisition expenses; gain on the sale of assets related to plant closures; expenses associated with the Terminated Merger and related litigation (Huntsman Corporation only); extraordinary gain on the acquisition of a business; gain on consolidation of a variable interest entity and restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs (credits). Adjusted EBITDA is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to EBITDA and reported GAAP measures because we believe that it is indicative of our operating performance and is frequently used as a valuation measure of chemical companies. Our management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the core operating performance of our segments and business.


In addition to the limitations of EBITDA noted above, Adjusted EBITDA excludes items that may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in the evaluation of performance. However, we believe it is useful to exclude such items to provide a supplemental analysis of current results and trends compared to other periods for the following reasons: certain excluded items can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events, and the variability of such items may not relate specifically to current operating results or trends; and certain excluded items, while potentially recurring in future periods, may not be indicative of future results.


Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income applicable to Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, as an indicator of performance, or as any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP.


We believe that net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. For each of our Company and Huntsman

Adjusted net income (loss) is computed by eliminating the after-tax amounts related to the following from net income applicable to Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate: unallocated foreign exchange gains or losses; loss on early extinguishment of debt; legal settlements; discount amortization of settlement financing; income (loss) from discontinued operations; acquisition expenses; gain on sale of assets related to plant closures; expenses associated with the Terminated Merger and related litigation (Huntsman Corporation only); extraordinary gain on the acquisition of a business; gain on consolidation of a variable interest entity; and restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs. The income tax impacts of each aforementioned item was calculated using the statutory rates in the applicable taxing jurisdiction and considering valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction. Basic adjusted income (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing adjusted net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and is computed by dividing adjusted net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding as dilutive securities.


Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted income (loss) per share amounts are presented solely as supplemental disclosures to net income applicable to Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, and income (loss) per share because we believe that these measures are indicative of our operating performance. Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted income (loss) per share exclude items that may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in the evaluation of performance. However, we believe it is useful to exclude such items to provide a supplemental analysis of current results and trends compared to other periods for the following reasons: certain excluded items can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events, and the variability of such items may not relate specifically to current operating results or trends; and certain excluded items, while potentially recurring in future periods, may not be indicative of future results.

Polyurethanes

        The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes. Average MDI and PO/MTBE selling prices increased primarily in response to higher raw material costs and the strength of major European currencies against the U.S. dollar. MDI sales volumes increased primarily due to improved demand in the insulation and automotive sectors and stronger regional demand in the Americas and Asia. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher contribution margins and higher sales volumes.

Performance Products

        The increase in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes. Average selling prices increased across almost all product groups, principally in response to higher raw material costs and the strength of major European currencies and the Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar. Sales volumes increased primarily as a result of the consolidation of the Sasol-Huntsman joint venture during the second quarter of 2011 and more production from our Arabian Amines Company joint venture which was starting up in the second quarter of 2010. The decrease in segment EBITDA was primarily due to a nonrecurring $15 million credit recorded in the second quarter of 2010 to appropriately reflect our investment in the Sasol-Huntsman joint venture, offset in part by a gain of $12 million recorded in the second quarter of 2011 in connection with the consolidation of the Sasol-Huntsman joint venture.

Advanced Materials

        The increase in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to higher average selling prices, partially offset by lower sales volumes. Average selling prices increased primarily in response to higher raw material costs and the strength of major European currencies against the U.S. dollar. Sales volumes decreased in our base resins business partially offset by an increase in combined sales volumes in our core formulation systems and specialty components businesses. The decrease in segment EBITDA was primarily due to lower margins, the impact of stronger major European currencies against the U.S. dollar resulting in higher manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs, and higher restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our Advanced Materials segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing charges of $3 million and nil, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Textile Effects

        The decrease in revenues in our Textile Effects segment for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased due to lower demand and customer manufacturing constraints. Average selling prices increased primarily from the strength of major European currencies against the U.S. dollar. EBITDA remained unchanged primarily due to lower sales volumes, the foreign currency impact of a stronger Swiss franc against the U.S. dollar on our manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs, offset by lower restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our Textile Effects segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing charges of nil and $15 million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Pigments

        The increase in revenues in our Pigments segment for three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes. Average selling prices increased in all regions of the world driven principally by higher raw materials costs and stronger overall market demand. Sales volumes increased primarily due to increased global demand, particularly in the Asia-Pacific, Africa, Latin America and Middle East regions. The increase in segment EBITDA in our Pigments segment was primarily due to higher margins and higher sales volumes, partially offset by higher manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs.

Corporate and other—Huntsman Corporation

        Corporate and other includes unallocated corporate overhead, unallocated foreign exchange gains and losses, LIFO inventory valuation reserve adjustments, loss on early extinguishment of debt, unallocated restructuring impairment and plant closing costs and nonoperating income and expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, EBITDA from Corporate and other items decreased by $18 million to a loss of $63 million from a loss of $45 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in EBITDA from Corporate and other for the three months ended June 30, 2011 resulted primarily from a $14 million increase in LIFO inventory valuation expense ($11 million of loss in 2011 compared to $3 million gain in 2010).

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, EBITDA from Corporate and other items decreased by $19 million to a loss of $64 million from a loss of $45 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in EBITDA from Corporate and other for the three months ended June 30, 2011 resulted primarily from a $14 million increase in LIFO inventory valuation expense ($11 million of loss in 2011 compared to $3 million gain in 2010).

Discontinued Operations

        The operating results of our former polymers, base chemicals and Australian styrenics businesses are classified as discontinued operations, and, accordingly, the revenues of these businesses are excluded from revenues for all periods presented. The EBITDA of these former businesses are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. The income (loss) from discontinued operations represents the operating results, legal costs, partial fire insurance settlement gains and related litigation costs, and restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs and gain (loss) on disposal with respect to our former businesses. During the second quarter of 2010, we recognized a $110 million pretax gain in connection with the final settlement of our insurance claims related to the 2006 fire at our former Port Arthur, Texas plant, offset in part by related income taxes, legal and other costs. For more information, see "Note 17. Discontinued Operations" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Polyurethanes

        The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to higher sales volumes and higher average selling prices. PO/MTBE sales volumes increased compared to the 2010 period primarily due to the 2010 planned maintenance outage at our Port Neches, Texas facility. MDI sales volumes increased primarily due to improved demand in the insulation and automotive sectors and stronger overall global demand. Average PO/MTBE selling prices increased primarily in response to higher raw material costs and industry supply constraints. Average MDI selling prices increased in response to higher raw material costs and the impact of stronger major European currencies against the U.S. dollar. The increase in EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales volumes and contribution margins, and the 2010 planned maintenance at our Port Neches, Texas facility, the estimated impact of which was $40 million.

Performance Products

        The increase in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes. Average selling prices increased across almost all product groups principally in response to higher raw material costs and the strength of major European currencies and the Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar. Sales volumes increased due to higher demand for ethyleneamines and EG, offset by lower sales of amines and European surfactants. In addition, sales volumes increased as a result of the consolidation of the Sasol-Huntsman joint venture during the second quarter of 2011 and more production from our Arabian Amines Company joint venture which was starting up in the second quarter of 2010. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales volumes and higher margins as selling prices increased faster than raw material prices, partially offset by increased fixed costs. In addition, in the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a gain of $12 million in connection with the consolidation of the Sasol-Huntsman joint venture and, in the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded a nonrecurring $15 million credit to appropriately reflect our investment in the Sasol-Huntsman joint venture.

Advanced Materials

        The increase in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes. Average selling prices increased in all regions and across the entire product portfolio in response to higher raw material costs. Sales volumes increased in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region while sales volumes decreased in the Americas, primarily as a result of raw material constraints for

base resins. The decrease in EBITDA was primarily due to the impact of stronger major European currencies against the U.S. dollar, higher manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs and higher restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs, offset in part by higher contribution margins. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our Advanced Materials segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing charges (credits) of $3 million and $(2) million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Textile Effects

        The decrease in revenues in our Textile Effects segment for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased due to lower demand and customer manufacturing constraints. Average selling prices increased primarily in response to higher raw material costs and from the impact of stronger major international currencies against the U.S. dollar. The decrease in EBITDA was primarily due to lower sales volumes, the foreign currency impact of a stronger Swiss franc against the U.S. dollar on our manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs, offset in part by lower restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our Textile Effects segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing charges of $5 million and $15 million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Pigments

        The increase in revenues in our Pigments segment for six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes. Average selling prices increased in all regions of the world driven principally by higher raw materials costs and stronger overall market demand. Sales volumes increased primarily due to increased demand in all regions of the world. The increase in EBITDA in our Pigments segment was primarily due to higher contribution margins and higher sales volumes, partially offset by higher manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs and higher restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our Pigments segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing charges of $7 million and $3 million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Corporate and other—Huntsman Corporation

        Corporate and other includes unallocated corporate overhead, unallocated foreign exchange gains and losses, LIFO inventory valuation reserve adjustments, loss on early extinguishment of debt, unallocated restructuring impairment and plant closing costs and nonoperating income and expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, EBITDA from Corporate and other items increased by $108 million to a loss of $144 million from a loss of $252 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in EBITDA from Corporate and other for the six months ended June 30, 2011 resulted primarily from a decrease in loss on early extinguishment of debt of $159 million ($3 million of loss in 2011 compared to $162 million in 2010). For more information regarding the loss on early extinguishment of debt, see "Note 7. Debt—Redemption of Notes and Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). The increase to EBITDA was partially offset by $34 million of higher expenses related to legal claims in connection with certain antitrust matters and an $11 million increase in LIFO inventory valuation expense ($19 million of loss in 2011 compared to $8 million loss in 2010). For more information, see "Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies—Antitrust Matters" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Corporate and other—Huntsman International

        Corporate and other includes unallocated corporate overhead, unallocated foreign exchange gains and losses, LIFO inventory valuation reserve adjustments, loss on early extinguishment of debt, unallocated restructuring impairment and plant closing costs, gain and loss on the disposition of assets and nonoperating income and expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, EBITDA from Corporate and other items decreased by $49 million to a loss of $144 million from a loss of $95 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in EBITDA from Corporate and other for the six months ended June 30, 2011 resulted primarily from $34 million of higher expenses related to legal claims in connection with certain antitrust matters and an $11 million increase in LIFO inventory valuation expense ($19 million of loss in 2011 compared to $8 million loss in 2010). For more information, see "Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies—Antitrust Matters" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Discontinued Operations

        The operating results of our former polymers, base chemicals and Australian styrenics businesses are classified as discontinued operations, and, accordingly, the revenues of these businesses are excluded from revenues for all periods presented. The EBITDA of these former businesses are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. The income (loss) from discontinued operations represents the operating results, legal costs, partial fire insurance settlement gains and related litigation costs, and restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs and gain (loss) on disposal with respect to our former businesses. During the second quarter of 2010 we recognized a $110 million pretax gain in connection with the final settlement of our insurance claims related to the 2006 fire at our former Port Arthur, Texas plant, offset in part by related income taxes, legal and other costs. See "Note 17. Discontinued Operations" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The following is a discussion of our liquidity and capital resources and does not include separate information with respect to Huntsman International in accordance with General Instructions H(1)(a) and (b) of Form 10-Q.

Cash

        Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $1 million and $(442) million, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily attributable to an increase in operating income as described in "—Results of Operations" above and to a $340 million favorable variance in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared with the same period in 2010. Upon the adoption of new accounting guidance on January 1, 2010, sales of accounts receivable under our A/R Programs no longer meet the criteria for derecognition and off-balance sheet treatment. Accordingly, the amounts outstanding under our A/R Programs are accounted for as secured borrowings and were included on our balance sheet. As a result of the adoption of this new guidance, accounts receivable increased by $254 million and a corresponding increase in cash used in operating activities was reflected in the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

        Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $111 million and $49 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we paid $124 million and $78 million, respectively, for capital expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we paid $23 million for the Laffans Acquisition. On April 1, 2011, we began consolidating the Sasol-Huntsman joint venture and assumed its cash balance of $28 million. During

the six months ended June 30, 2010, we received proceeds of $110 million from the settlement of our insurance claims related to the 2006 fire at our former Port Arthur, Texas, $34 million of which was reflected in the statement of cash flows as investing activities.

        Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $178 million as compared with $480 million in the 2010 period. This decrease in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to higher net repayments of debt in the 2010 period as compared to the 2011 period and a $150 million reduction in call premiums paid related to early extinguishment of debt, offset by the on-balance sheet treatment of our A/R Programs in 2010. For more information regarding the call premiums paid, see "Note 7. Debt—Redemption of Notes and Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

DIRECT AND SUBSIDIARY DEBT

        Huntsman Corporation's direct debt and guarantee obligations consist of the following: guarantees of certain debt of HPS (our Chinese MDI joint venture); a guarantee of certain obligations of Arabian Amines Company (our consolidated ethyleneamines manufacturing joint venture in Jubail, Saudi Arabia); a guarantee of certain debt and other obligations of certain of our Australian subsidiaries; and certain indebtedness incurred from time to time to finance certain insurance premiums.

        Substantially all of our other debt, including the facilities described below, has been incurred by our subsidiaries (primarily Huntsman International); such subsidiary debt is nonrecourse to us and we have no contractual obligation to fund our subsidiaries' respective operations.

Transactions Affecting our Debt

Senior Credit Facilities

        As of June 30, 2011, our Senior Credit Facilities consisted of our Revolving Facility, our Term Loan B, our Term Loan C and our Extended Term Loan B as follows (dollars in millions):

We had no borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Facility; we had approximately $26 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit and bank guarantees issued and outstanding under our Revolving Facility.

(2)
The Revolving Facility matures in March 2014, but is subject to optional extensions from time to time with the consent of the lenders and subject to certain specified conditions and exceptions. Notwithstanding the stated maturity dates, the maturities of the Revolving Facility and Term Loan B will accelerate if we do not repay, or refinance, all but $100 million of Huntsman International's outstanding debt securities on or before three months prior to the maturity dates of such debt securities. The maturity of the Extended Term Loan B will also accelerate if we do not repay, refinance or have a minimum level of liquidity available to enable us to refinance or repay our outstanding 5.50% senior notes due 2016 at least three months prior to the maturity date of such notes.

        Our obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are guaranteed by our guarantor subsidiaries, which consist of substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries and certain of our foreign subsidiaries, and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our domestic property, plant and equipment, the stock of all of our material domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries and pledges of intercompany notes between certain of our subsidiaries.

Amendments to Senior Credit Facilities

        On March 7, 2011, Huntsman International entered into a sixth amendment to its credit agreement. The amendment, among other things, extended $650 million of aggregate principal of Term Loan B to a stated maturity of April 2017. As noted in the table above, after the amendment, as of June 30, 2011, we have $652 million outstanding on Term Loan B with maturity of April 2014 and $650 million outstanding on Extended Term Loan B with a maturity of April 2017. The amendment increased the interest rate margin with respect to Extended Term Loan B by 1.0%.

        Extended Term Loan B will amortize in an amount equal to 1.0% of the principal amount, payable annually commencing on March 31, 2012. The amendment also grants Huntsman International the right to request an extension of the remaining principal balance of Term Loan B to the stated maturity date of Extended Term Loan B.

A/R Programs

        Our A/R Programs are structured so that we grant a participating undivided interest in certain of our trade receivables to a U.S. SPE and a EU SPE. We retain the servicing rights and a retained interest in the securitized receivables. Information regarding the A/R Programs as of June 30, 2011 is as follows (monetary amounts in millions):

Facility
  Maturity   Maximum Funding
Availability(1)
  Amount
Outstanding
  Interest Rate(2)(3)

U.S. A/R Program

  April 2014   $250   $90   Applicable Rate plus 1.50%-1.65%

EU A/R Program

  April 2014   €225
(approximately $323)
  €114
(approximately $164)
  Applicable Rate plus 2.0%

(1)
The amount of actual availability under the A/R Programs may be lower based on the level of eligible receivables sold, changes in the credit ratings of our customers, customer concentration levels, and certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred, as defined in the applicable agreements.

(2)
Each interest rate is defined in the applicable agreements. In addition, the U.S. SPE and the EU SPE are obligated to pay unused commitment fees to the lenders based on the amount of each lender's commitment.

(3)
Applicable rate for the US A/R Program is defined by the lender as either USD LIBOR or CP rate. Applicable rate for the EU A/R Program is either GBP LIBOR, USD LIBOR or EURIBOR.

        As of June 30, 2011, $698 million of accounts receivable were pledged as collateral under the A/R Programs.

Amendments to A/R Programs

        On April 15, 2011, Huntsman International entered into an amendment to the EU A/R Program. This amendment, among other things, extended the scheduled commitment termination date of the program to April 2014, added an additional lender to the program and reduced the applicable margin on borrowings to 2.0%.

        On April 18, 2011, Huntsman International entered into an amendment to the U.S. A/R Program. This amendment, among other things, extended the scheduled commitment termination date of the program to April 2014, added an additional lender to the program and reduced the applicable margin on borrowings to a range of 1.50% to 1.65%.

The convertible notes due 2018 were issued to Apollo in December 2008 as part of a settlement agreement with Apollo. These convertible notes, which would have matured on December 23, 2018, bore interest at the rate of 7% per year and were convertible into approximately 31.8 million shares of our common stock at any time by the holders.

        For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we and Huntsman International recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $3 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we had a loss on early extinguishment of $162 million, which included $7 million of loss on early extinguishment of debt on the prepayment of our term loans, and Huntsman International recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $16 million, which included the $7 million of loss on early extinguishment of debt on the prepayment of our term loans.

        On July 25, 2011, Huntsman International redeemed the remaining $75 million of its 7.375% senior subordinated notes due 2015. This amount was classified as current on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) as of June 30, 2011. The total redemption payment, excluding accrued interest, was $77 million, which included $2 million of call premiums. We expect to record a loss on early extinguishment of debt for this transaction in the third quarter of 2011 of $2 million.

Variable Interest Entity Debt

        On April 1, 2011 we began consolidating Sasol-Huntsman which was previously accounted for under the equity method. Sasol-Huntsman has a facility agreement for a €77 million term loan facility (approximately $111 million) and a €5 million revolving facility (approximately $7 million). As of June 30, 2011, Sasol-Huntsman had no borrowings under the revolving facility and had €76 million (approximately $109 million) outstanding under the term loan facility.

        The facility will be repaid over 15 semiannual installments, beginning December 2011, with final repayment scheduled for December 2018. Obligations under the facility agreement are secured by, among other things, first priority right on the property, plant and equipment of Sasol-Huntsman.

        As of June 30, 2011, Arabian Amines Company had $204 million outstanding under its loan commitments and debt financing arrangements.

Other Debt

        During the six months ended June 30, 2011, HPS repaid $2 million and RMB 118 million (approximately $18 million) of term loans and working capital loans under its secured facilities. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2011, HPS refinanced RMB 38 million (approximately $6 million) in working capital loans due beginning in 2011 to 2014. The interest rate on these facilities is LIBOR plus 0.48% for U.S. dollar borrowings and 90% of the Peoples Bank of China rate for RMB borrowings. As of June 30, 2011, HPS had $14 million in U.S. dollar borrowings and 362 million in RMB term loan and working capital borrowings (approximately $56 million) under these secured facilities.

        As of June 30, 2011, HPS also had RMB 499 million (approximately $77 million) outstanding under a loan facility for issuing working capital loans and for discounting commercial drafts with recourse.

        As of June 30, 2011, our Australian subsidiary has AUD32 million (approximately $34 million) outstanding under our Australian credit facility. The credit facility is comprised of a revolving facility with AUD17 million outstanding (approximately $19 million) and a term facility with AUD14 million outstanding (approximately $15 million). Our Australian subsidiary is currently not in compliance with a financial covenant contained in the credit facility. Our lender has agreed to modify certain terms of the credit facility, and we expect to complete this amendment in the third quarter of 2011. The amounts outstanding under our Australian credit facility were classified as current on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) as of June 30, 2011.

Note Payable from Huntsman International to Huntsman Corporation

        As of June 30, 2011, we have a loan of $535 million to our subsidiary, Huntsman International. The Intercompany Note is unsecured and $100 million of the outstanding amount is classified as current as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2011, under the terms of the Intercompany Note, Huntsman International promises to pay us interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate per annum based on the previous monthly average borrowing rate obtained under our U.S. A/R Programs, less ten basis points (provided that the rate shall not exceed an amount that is 25 basis points less than the monthly average borrowing rate obtained for the U.S. LIBOR-based borrowings under our Revolving Facility).

Compliance with Covenants

        Our management believes that we are in compliance with the covenants contained in the agreements governing our material debt instruments, including our Senior Credit Facilities, our A/R Programs and our notes. However, our Australian subsidiary is currently not in compliance with a financial covenant contained in its credit facility. See "—Other Debt" above.

        Our Senior Credit Facilities are subject to the Leverage Covenant which applies only to the Revolving Facility and is tested at the Huntsman International level. The Leverage Covenant is applicable only if borrowings, letters of credit or guarantees are outstanding under the Revolving Facility (cash collateralized letters of credit or guarantees are not deemed outstanding). The Leverage Covenant is a net senior secured leverage ratio covenant which requires that Huntsman International's ratio of senior secured debt to EBITDA (as defined in the applicable agreement) is not more than 3.75 to 1.

        If in the future Huntsman International failed to comply with the Leverage Covenant, then we may not have access to liquidity under our Revolving Facility. If Huntsman International failed to comply with the Leverage Covenant at a time when we had uncollateralized loans or letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility, Huntsman International would be in default under the Senior

Table of Contents


Credit Facilities, and, unless Huntsman International obtained a waiver or forbearance with respect to such default (as to which we can provide no assurance), Huntsman International could be required to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full, and we may not have further access to such facilities.

        The agreements governing our A/R Programs also contain certain receivable performance metrics. Any material failure to meet the applicable A/R Programs' metrics in the future could lead to an early termination event under the A/R Programs, which could require us to cease our use of such facilities, prohibiting us from additional borrowings against our receivables or, at the discretion of the lenders, requiring that we repay the A/R Programs in full. An early termination event under the A/R Programs would also constitute an event of default under our Senior Credit Facilities, which could require us to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full and could result in the loss of our Senior Credit Facilities.

SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM LIQUIDITY

        We depend upon our cash, credit facilities, A/R Programs and other debt instruments to provide liquidity for our operations and working capital needs. As of June 30, 2011, we had $1,231 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity, consisting of $690 million in cash and restricted cash, $274 million in availability under our Revolving Facility, and $267 million in availability under our A/R Programs.

        Our liquidity can be significantly impacted by various factors. The following matters had, or are expected to have, a significant impact on our liquidity:

        As of June 30, 2011, we had $289 million classified as current portion of debt which consists of certain scheduled term payments and various short-term facilities, including the prepayment of $75 million of our 7.375% senior subordinated notes due 2015 paid on July 25, 2011, an HPS

borrowing facility in China with $77 million outstanding, our Australian credit facilities with $34 million classified as current, our scheduled Senior Credit Facilities amortization payments in 2012 totaling $18 million, and certain other short term facilities and scheduled amortization payments totaling $85 million. Although we cannot provide assurances, we intend to renew or extend the majority of these short-term facilities in the current period.

Capital Expenditures

        During 2011, we expect to spend approximately $350 million on capital expenditures. We expect to fund capital expenditures through a combination of available cash and cash flows from operations.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity pricing risks. From time to time, we enter into transactions, including transactions involving derivative instruments, to manage certain of these exposures.

        All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are recorded on our balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged items are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, to the extent effective, and will be recognized in the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. To the extent applicable, we perform effectiveness assessments in order to use hedge accounting at each reporting period. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

Table of Contents

        We also hedge our net investment in certain European operations. Changes in the fair value of the hedge in the net investment of certain European operations are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.

        Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variation. Our revenues and expenses are denominated in various currencies. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency derivative instruments to minimize the short-term impact of movements in foreign currency rates. Where practicable, we generally net multicurrency cash balances among our subsidiaries to help reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. Certain other exposures may be managed from time to time through financial market transactions, principally through the purchase of spot or forward foreign exchange contracts (generally with maturities of one year or less). We do not hedge our currency exposures in a manner that would eliminate the effect of changes in exchange rates on our cash flows and earnings. As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately $250 million in notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in forward foreign currency contracts.

        On December 9, 2009, we entered into a five-year interest rate contract to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. The notional value of the contract is $50 million and was designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swap was recorded in other comprehensive loss. We will pay a fixed 2.6% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate. As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of the hedge was less than $2 million and is recorded in other noncurrent liabilities.

        On January 19, 2010, we entered into a five-year interest rate contract to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. The notional value of the contract is $50 million and was designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swap was recorded in other comprehensive loss. We will pay a fixed 2.8% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate. As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of the hedge was less than $3 million and is recorded in other noncurrent liabilities.

        Beginning in 2009, Arabian Amines Company entered into a 12 year floating to fixed interest rate contract providing to us LIBOR interest payments for a fixed payment of 5.02%. In connection with the consolidation of Arabian Amines Company as of July 1, 2010, the interest rate contract is now consolidated by Huntsman International. See "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities." The notional amount of the hedge as of June 30, 2011 is $40 million and the interest rate contract is not designated as a cash flow hedge. As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of the hedge was $5 million and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded interest income of $1 million and nil, respectively.

        In 2009, Sasol-Huntsman entered into derivative transactions to hedge the variable interest rate associated with its local credit facility. These derivative rate hedges include a floating to fixed interest rate contract providing Sasol-Huntsman with EURIBOR interest payments for a fixed payment of 3.62% and a cap for future periods with a strike price of 3.62%. In connection with the consolidation of Sasol-Huntsman as of April 1, 2011, the interest rate contract is now included in our consolidated results. See "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities." The notional amount of the hedge as of June 30, 2011 is €54 million (approximately $77 million) and the derivative transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting. As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of this hedge was €1 million (approximately $2 million) and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        In conjunction with the issuance of $350 million of 8.625% senior subordinated notes due 2020, we entered into cross-currency interest rate contracts with three counterparties. On March 17, 2010, we paid $350 million to these counterparties and received €255 million from these counterparties and at maturity on March 15, 2015 we are required to pay €255 million and will receive $350 million. On March 15 and September 15 of each year, we will receive U.S. dollar interest payments of

approximately $15 million (equivalent to an annual rate of 8.625%) and make interest payments of approximately €11 million (equivalent to an annual rate of approximately 8.41%). This swap is designated as a hedge of net investment for financial reporting purposes. As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of this swap was $5 million and was recorded as noncurrent liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet (unaudited). For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of $9 million and $24 million, respectively was recorded at a loss in other comprehensive income.

        As of and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, the changes in fair value of the realized gains (losses) recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited) of our other outstanding foreign currency rate hedging contracts and derivatives were not considered significant.

        A significant portion of our intercompany debt is denominated in euros. We also finance certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries with intercompany loans that are, in many cases, denominated in currencies other than the entities' functional currency. We manage the net foreign currency exposure created by this debt through various means, including cross-currency swaps, the designation of certain intercompany loans as permanent loans because they are not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future ("permanent loans") and the designation of certain debt and swaps as net investment hedges.

        Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are not designated as permanent loans are recorded in earnings. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are designated as permanent loans are recorded in other comprehensive loss. From time to time, we review such designation of intercompany loans.

        From time to time, we review our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt and swaps to determine the appropriate amounts designated as hedges. As of June 30, 2011, we have designated €363 million (approximately $521 million) of euro-denominated debt and cross-currency interest rate swap as a hedge of our net investments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the amount of loss recognized on the hedge of our net investments was $12 million and $35 million and was recorded as a loss in other comprehensive loss. As of June 30, 2011, we had €1,050 million (approximately $1,507 million) in net euro assets.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2011. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in that they ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

        No changes to our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). However, we can only give reasonable assurance that our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Ineffective internal controls over financial reporting could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and could result in a lower trading price for our securities.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

ANTITRUST SETTLEMENT

        As disclosed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, we have been named as a defendant in civil class action antitrust suits alleging that between 1999 and 2004 we conspired with Bayer, BASF, Dow and Lyondell to fix the prices of MDI, TDI, polyether polyols, and related systems ("urethanes") sold in the U.S. in violation of the federal Sherman Act. These cases are consolidated as the "Polyether Polyols" cases pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas.

        On May 26, 2011, we entered into a settlement agreement with the class plaintiffs in the urethanes antitrust litigation that requires us to pay $33 million in three equal installments in exchange for a full release and discharge of all claims by the class plaintiffs against us.

        Under the settlement agreement, we paid $11 million into an escrow fund for the benefit of the class on June 27, 2011 after the Court preliminarily approved the settlement. We will pay an additional $11 million within one year thereafter and a third $11 million within two years of the initial payment. In exchange for these payments, we will receive from the class a release and discharge of all claims against us, as described in the settlement agreement. The settlement is subject to final approval by the Court after notice is given to the class members. The hearing on final approval is scheduled for September 27, 2011.

        We fully accrued for this matter in prior quarters. The settlement does not resolve the direct action cases nor the other pending antitrust litigation.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS

        During the period from 2007 through 2009, our Performance Products business' surfactants manufacturing facility located in New South Wales, Australia experienced five reported releases of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, both raw materials used in the surfactants manufacturing process. As a consequence of these releases, the site received and responded to information requests and physical inspections from WorkCover NSW and/or the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water NSW, both regulatory agencies with oversight authority for the facility. Subsequent to these inquiries, by letter dated September 10, 2010, the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water NSW notified us that it had commenced a court proceeding regarding the fifth ethylene oxide release which occurred on October 28, 2009. On December 3, 2010, we pled guilty to a breach of our operating license and on March 18, 2011, the court ordered us to pay AUD68,000.
