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, comprehensive income, 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, 2011 for our Company and Huntsman International.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)

1. GENERAL (Continued)

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 condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) 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.

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ADOPTED DURING 2012

        In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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 were effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted the amendments of this ASU effective January 1, 2012, and the initial adoption of the

HUNTSMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

HUNTSMAN INTERNATIONAL LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)

amendments in this ASU did not 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 were effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2012 and have presented our consolidated net income and consolidated comprehensive income in two separate, but consecutive, statements.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS PENDING ADOPTION IN FUTURE PERIODS

        In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The guidance in this ASU is intended to reduce complexity and costs of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities with the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The amendments in this ASU include examples of events and circumstances that might indicate that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. We did not early adopt the provisions of this ASU for our annual impairment test on July 1, 2011 and 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

EMA ACQUISITION

        On December 30, 2011, we completed the acquisition of EMA Kimya Sistemleri Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (the "EMA Acquisition"), an MDI-based polyurethanes systems house in Istanbul, Turkey for approximately $11 million, net of cash acquired and including the repayment of assumed debt. We have accounted for the EMA Acquisition using the acquisition method and transaction costs charged to expense associated with this acquisition were not significant. For purposes of a preliminary allocation of the acquisition cost to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we have assigned the excess of the acquisition cost over historical carrying values of $7 million to property, plant and equipment. At December 31, 2011, the excess of the acquisition cost over historical carrying values had been assigned as goodwill. This preliminary purchase price allocation is likely to change once we complete the analysis of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 related to the business acquired were approximately

$7 million and $12 million, respectively. Net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 related to the business acquired were approximately $1 million and $2 million, respectively.

LAFFANS ACQUISITION

        On April 2, 2011, we completed the acquisition of the chemical business of Laffans Petrochemicals Limited, an amines and surfactants manufacturer located in Ankleshwar, India (the "Laffans Acquisition") at a cost of approximately $23 million. 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 allocation of acquisition cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

        For June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately 11% 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, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $8 million and $3 million, respectively. Other open exchanges are settled in cash and result in a net deferred profit margin. The amount payable under these open exchange agreements as of both June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was nil.

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:

        Goodwill of $17 million was recognized upon consolidation of Sasol-Huntsman, of which approximately $12 million is deductible for income tax purposes. The total amount of goodwill decreased approximately $2 million from the date of consolidation to December 31, 2011 due to a change in the foreign currency exchange rate. The net change due to changes in the foreign currency exchange rate to the total amount of goodwill from December 31, 2011 to June 30, 2012 was nil. All other intangible assets are being amortized over an average useful life of 18 years.

        If this consolidation had occurred on January 1, 2011, the approximate pro forma revenues attributable to both our Company and Huntsman International would have been $5,643 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. 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 expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (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.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2012, our Advanced Materials segment recorded charges of $3 million primarily related to the reorganization of our global business structure and the relocation of our divisional headquarters from Basel, Switzerland to The Woodlands, Texas.

        On September 27, 2011, we announced plans to implement a significant restructuring of our Textile Effects segment, including the closure of our production facilities and business support offices in Basel, Switzerland, as part of an ongoing strategic program aimed at improving the Textile Effects segment's long-term global competitiveness. In connection with this plan, during the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded restructuring charges of $3 million and a $1 million noncash charge for asset impairments. We expect to incur additional restructuring and plant closing charges, excluding site exit

Note Payable from Huntsman International to Huntsman Corporation

        As of June 30, 2012, we have a loan of $619 million to our subsidiary, Huntsman International (the "Intercompany Note"). During the six months ended June 30, 2012, Huntsman International borrowed $84 million from us under the Intercompany Note. The Intercompany Note is unsecured and $100 million of the outstanding amount is classified as current as of both June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). As of June 30, 2012, 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. accounts receivable securitization program ("U.S. A/R Program"), 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

        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 U.S. A/R Program and our European accounts receivable securitization program (the "EU A/R Program" and collectively with the U.S. A/R Program the "A/R Programs") and our notes.

        Our material financing arrangements contain certain covenants with which we must comply. A failure to comply with a covenant could result in a default under a financing arrangement if not waived or amended. A default under these material financing arrangements generally allows debt holders the option to declare the underlying debt obligations immediately due and payable.

        Furthermore, certain of our material financing arrangements contain cross default and cross acceleration provisions under which a failure to comply with the covenants in one financing arrangement may result in an event of default under another financing arrangement.

        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 fails 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, 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.

        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.

        Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variation. Our revenues and expenses are denominated in various foreign 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 multi-currency 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 foreign 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, 2012, we had approximately $238 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 it has been 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) income. We will pay a fixed 2.6% on the hedge and receive the one-month

LIBOR rate. As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of the hedge was $3 million and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        On January 19, 2010, we entered into an additional 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 it has been 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) income. We will pay a fixed 2.8% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate. As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of the hedge was $3 million and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        On September 1, 2011, we entered into a $50 million forward interest rate contract that will begin in December 2014 with maturity in April 2017 and a $50 million forward interest rate contract that will begin in January 2015 with maturity in April 2017. These two forward contracts are to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities once our existing interest rate hedges mature. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swaps were recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income. Both interest rate contracts will pay a fixed 2.5% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate once the contracts begin in 2014 and 2015, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, the combined fair value of these two hedges was $3 million and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        In 2009, Sasol-Huntsman entered into derivative transactions to hedge the variable interest rate associated with its local credit facility. These 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, 2012 was €45 million (approximately $56 million) and the derivative transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting. As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of this hedge was €2 million (approximately $3 million) and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded interest income of less than €1 million (less than $1 million) due to changes in the fair value of the swap.

        Beginning in 2009, Arabian Amines Company entered into a 12-year floating to fixed interest rate contract providing for a receipt of 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 included in our consolidated results. See "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities." The notional amount of the swap as of June 30, 2012 was $38 million, and the interest rate contract is not designated as a cash flow hedge. As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of the swap was $6 million and was recorded as other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded a reduction of interest expense of less than $1 million due to changes in the fair value of the swap.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (Continued)

        In conjunction with the issuance of the 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%). These swaps are designated as a hedge of net investment for financial reporting purposes. As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of these swaps was $35 million and was recorded in noncurrent assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        As of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the changes in fair value of the realized gains (losses) recorded in the 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) income. 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, 2012, we have designated €255 million (approximately $318 million) of euro-denominated debt and cross-currency interest rate swaps as a hedge of our net investments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the amount of gain recognized on the hedge of our net investments was $18 and $5 million, respectively and was recorded as a gain in other comprehensive (loss) income. As of June 30, 2012, we had €1,260 million (approximately $1,572 million) in net euro assets.

        The carrying amounts reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of non-qualified employee benefit plan investments is obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices. The estimated fair values of our long-term debt are based on quoted market prices for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market (Level 1).

        The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since June 30, 2012, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

We are party to cross-currency interest rate contracts that are measured at fair value in the financial statements. These instruments have historically been categorized by us as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy due to an unobservable input associated with the credit valuation adjustment, which we deemed to be a significant input to the overall measurement of fair value at inception. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, this credit valuation adjustment has ceased

        During the first quarter of 2012, certain U.K. pension plans were closed to new entrants. For existing participants, benefits will only grow as a result of increases in pay. Defined contribution plans were established to replace these pension plans for future benefit accruals. This change did not have a significant impact on our pension liability.

        During 2012, a certain U.S. pension plan formula was converted from an average pay design to a cash balance plan design. The existing defined contribution plan match was enhanced to offset this reduction in benefits. In connection with this plan change, we reduced our pension liability by approximately $23 million with a corresponding offset to other comprehensive (loss) income during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we made contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans of $84 million and $96 million, respectively. During the remainder of 2012, we expect to contribute an additional amount of $70 million to these plans.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

        Effective August 5, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized our Company to repurchase up to $100 million in shares of our common stock. Repurchases under this program may be made through the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, and repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice. Shares of common stock acquired through the repurchase program are held in treasury at cost. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we did not repurchase any shares of our outstanding common stock under the repurchase program. As of June 30, 2012, there remained approximately $50 million of the amount authorized under the program that could be used for stock repurchases.

COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS

        On each of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, we paid cash dividends of $24 million, or $0.10 per share, to common stockholders of record as of June 15, 2012 and March 15, 2012, respectively. On each of June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, we paid cash dividends of $24 million, or $0.10 per share, to common stockholders of record as of June 15, 2011 and March 15, 2011, respectively.

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. Rarely do 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 eighteen-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, 2012, we had an accrued liability of $10 million relating to these cases and a corresponding receivable of $10 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, 2012.

        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

        We paid gross settlement costs for asbestos exposure cases that are not subject to indemnification of $82,000 and $342,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, we had an accrual of $225,000 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, 2012.

Antitrust Matters

        We were 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 Polyols defendants were 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 were consolidated in the Kansas court for the purposes of discovery and other pretrial matters.

        In the second quarter of 2011, we settled the class action and were dismissed as a defendant. On December 29, 2011, we entered into a settlement agreement with the direct action plaintiffs for an amount immaterial to our financial statements and were dismissed from those cases on December 30, 2011.

        Two similar civil antitrust 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, on behalf of purported classes of Canadian direct and indirect purchasers of MDI, TDI and polyether polyols. On April 11, 2012, we reached agreement to resolve these cases for an amount immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). The Canadian settlement is subject to court approval.

        A purported class action case filed February 15, 2005 by purchasers in California of products containing rubber and urethane chemicals and pending in Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco is stayed pending resolution of the Kansas multidistrict litigation. The plaintiffs in this matter 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 13, 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. As alleged damages in these cases have not been specified, and because of the overall complexity of these cases, we are unable to reasonably estimate any possible loss or range of loss with respect to these claims.

Product Delivery Claim

        We have been notified by a customer of potential claims related to our allegedly delivering a different product from that which it had ordered. Our customer claims that it was unaware that the different product had been delivered until after it had been used to manufacture materials which were subsequently sold. The customer has indicated that it has been notified of claims of up to an aggregate of €153 million (approximately $191 million) relating to this matter and believes that we may be responsible for all or a portion of these potential claims. We are investigating this matter and based on the facts currently available to us, we believe that we are insured for any liability we may ultimately have in excess of $10 million. However, no assurance can be given regarding our ultimate liability or costs to us. We believe the range of possible loss to our Company in this matter to be between €0 and €153 million and have made no accrual with respect to this matter.

Indemnification Matter

        On July 3, 2012, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (the "Banks") demanded that we indemnify them for claims brought by certain MatlinPatterson entities that were formerly our shareholders (the "Plaintiffs") in litigation filed June 19, 2012 in the 9th District Court in Montgomery County, Texas. The Banks assert that they are entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Agreement of Compromise and Settlement between the Banks and our Company, dated June 22, 2009, wherein the Banks and our Company settled claims that we brought relating to the failed merger with Hexion Specialty Chemicals, Inc. ("Hexion"). Plaintiffs claim that the Banks knowingly made materially false representations about the nature of the financing for the acquisition of our Company by Hexion and that they suffered substantial losses to their 19 million shares of our

common stock as a result of the Banks' misrepresentations. Plaintiffs are asserting statutory fraud, common law fraud and aiding and abetting statutory fraud and are seeking actual damages, exemplary damages, costs and attorney's fees, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. We have denied the Banks' demand and continue to monitor the litigation. At this time, we are unable to estimate the amount or range of possible losses with respect to these claims.

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 effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

14. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS

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, product management and distribution, 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 or product distribution, 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.

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, 2012 and 2011, our capital expenditures for EHS matters totaled $39 million and $34 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 are indicative of future amounts we may spend related to EHS and other applicable 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. Currently, there are approximately 10 former facilities or third party sites in the U.S. for which we have been notified of potential claims against us for cleanup liabilities, including, but not limited to, sites listed under CERCLA. Based on current information and past experiences at other CERCLA sites, we do not expect these third party claims to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        One of these sites, the North Maybe Canyon Mine site, involves a former phosphorous mine near Soda Springs, Idaho, which is believed to have been operated by a predecessor company to us. In 2004, the U.S. Forest Service ("USFS") notified us that we are a CERCLA potentially responsible party ("PRP") for contaminated surface water issues. In February 2010, we and Wells Cargo (another PRP) agreed to conduct a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) of a portion of the site and are currently engaged in that process. At this time, we are unable to reasonably estimate our potential losses in this matter.

        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, India, France, Hungary and Italy.

        By letter dated March 7, 2006, our former Base Chemicals and Polymers facility in West Footscray, Australia, was issued a clean-up notice by the Environmental Protection Authority Victoria ("EPA Victoria") due to concerns about soil and groundwater contamination emanating from the 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 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. As of June 30, 2012, we had an accrued liability of $30 million related to estimated environmental remediation costs at this site. 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.

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 as appropriate 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 $34 million and $36 million for environmental liabilities as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Of these amounts, $4 million and $7 million were classified as accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and $30 million and $29 million were classified as other noncurrent liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. In certain cases, our remediation liabilities may be payable over periods of up to 30 years.

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

        On June 1, 2007, the EU regulatory framework for chemicals called "REACH" took effect, designed to be phased in over 11 years. As a REACH-regulated company that manufactures in or imports more than one metric ton per year of a chemical substance into the European Economic Area, we were required to pre-register with the European Chemicals Agency ("ECHA"), such chemical substances and isolated intermediates to take advantage of the 11 year phase-in period. To meet our compliance obligations, a cross-business REACH team was established, through which we were able to fulfill all required pre-registrations and our first phase registrations by the November 30, 2010 deadline. While we continue our registration efforts to meet the next registration deadline of June 2013, our REACH implementation team is now strategically focused on the authorization phase of the REACH process, directing its efforts to address "Substances of Very High Concern" and evaluating potential business implications. Where warranted, evaluation of substitute chemicals will be an important element of our ongoing manufacturing sustainability efforts. As a chemical manufacturer with global operations,

we are also actively monitoring and addressing analogous regulatory regimes being considered or implemented outside of the EU.

        Although the total long-term cost for REACH compliance is unknown at this time, we spent approximately $5 million, $9 million and $3 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, to meet the initial REACH requirements. We cannot provide assurance that these recent expenditures are indicative of future amounts that we may be required to spend 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 ("GHGs"). 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.

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 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 including the remediation of several off-site solid waste disposal areas. Both remaining issues are being addressed. At TNPCB's direction, we submitted a plan for the remediation of the off-site waste disposal areas, which the TNPCB approved. The impacted off-site soil was excavated and relocated to the site. We received a hazardous waste license from the TNPCB on June 15, 2012 and the removed waste was transported to an authorized disposal facility in June 2012.

        Also in May 2010, we voluntarily contacted the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the U.S. Department of Justice ("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, including the termination of employment of management employees as appropriate. In May 2012, the SEC and DOJ notified us that they would not recommend any enforcement action be taken against our Company in this matter.

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, 2012, we were authorized to grant up to 32.6 million shares under the Stock Incentive Plan. As of June 30, 2012, we had 8 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.

15. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS (Continued)

        As of June 30, 2012, there was $24 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 1.9 years. The value of share awards that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $21 million and $23 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. These conclusions require significant judgment. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider the cyclicality of businesses and cumulative income or losses during the applicable period. Cumulative losses incurred over the applicable period limits our ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for the future. Changes in expected future income in applicable jurisdictions could affect the realization of deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, on a discrete basis, we changed our judgment about certain valuation allowances, primarily related to operations of the Textile Effects business, resulting in a net $1 million expense for changes in valuation allowance related to certain net deferred assets in Guatemala, Indonesia, and China, with no single change to a valuation allowance greater than $2 million. In addition, due to changes in certain intercompany operations, we increased our estimated future taxable income in Luxembourg and released valuation allowances of $7 million and $6 million on certain net deferred assets during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded a net increase in unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding income tax expense of $5 million, and during the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a net increase in unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding income tax expense of $1 million.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we were granted a tax holiday for the period from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2016 with respect to certain income from Pigments products manufactured in Malaysia. We are required to make certain investments in order to enjoy the benefits of the tax holiday and we intend to make these investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded a discrete benefit of $3 million from de-recognition of a net deferred tax liability that will reverse during the holiday period. The amount of tax benefit to be realized from the tax holiday is directly dependent on the amount of future pre-tax income generated. We expect that the effects of the tax holiday will not be material to our provision for income taxes.

Huntsman Corporation

        Excluding the tax effects resulting from the net valuation allowance changes, the net unrecognized tax benefit items and the Malaysia tax holiday discussed above, we recorded income tax expense of

$129 million and $61 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our tax expense is affected by the mix of income and losses in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, as impacted by the presence of valuation allowances in certain tax jurisdictions.

Huntsman International

        Excluding the tax effects resulting from the net valuation allowance changes, the net unrecognized tax benefit items and the Malaysia tax holiday discussed above, Huntsman International recorded income tax expense of $130 million and $61 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our tax expense is affected by the mix of income and losses in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, as impacted by the presence of valuation allowances in certain tax jurisdictions.

17. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

AUSTRALIAN STYRENICS BUSINESS SHUTDOWN

        During the first quarter of 2010, we ceased operation of our former Australian styrenics business. The following results of operations of our former Australian styrenics business have been presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited) (dollars in millions):

        In 2006, product defect actions were filed against our subsidiary Huntsman Chemical Company Australia Pty Limited ("HCCA") in Australian courts relating to the sale and supply of vinyl ester resins that were used in the manufacture of fiberglass swimming pools. HCCA ceased manufacturing these specific resin formulations by 2004 and sold the business that manufactured and sold these resins in 2007.

        During the first quarter of 2011, HCCA increased its estimate of probable 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. Following mediation held in August 2011, HCCA and its insurers reached an agreement with two claimants to settle their claims for amounts within our insurance coverage after our self-insured retention was satisfied. Accordingly, during the third quarter of 2011, HCCA reduced its estimate of probable loss proportionately and reversed a portion of the liability related to this matter. The settlements were paid in the fourth quarter of 2011.

18. NET INCOME PER SHARE

        Basic income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share reflects all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and is computed by dividing net income available to Huntsman Corporation 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 as dilutive securities.

        Basic and diluted income per share is determined using the following information (in millions):

        Additional stock-based awards of 8.3 million and 6.2 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and additional stock-based awards of 9.2 million and 6.1 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. However, these stock-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 periods because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

RUSSIAN MDI, COATINGS AND SYSTEMS ACQUISITION

        On July 3, 2012, we completed the acquisition of the remaining 55% ownership interest of International Polyurethane Investment B.V.. This company's wholly owned subsidiary, Huntsman NMG Zao, is a leading supplier of polyurethane systems to the adhesives, coatings and footwear markets in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus and is headquartered in Obninsk, Russia. The acquisition cost was approximately €13 million (approximately $16 million). The acquired business will be integrated into our Polyurethanes segment. Transaction costs charged to expense related to this acquisition were not significant through June 30, 2012. If this acquisition were to have occurred on January 1, 2011, there would have been no impact to the combined earnings attributable to our Company or Huntsman International and the following estimated pro forma revenues attributable to our Company and Huntsman International would have been reported (dollars in millions):

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, 2011.

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, personal care and hygiene, durable and non-durable 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 had revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 of $5,827 million and $5,613 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

        For a discussion of recent developments, see "Note 21. Subsequent Events" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

OUTLOOK

        Our Polyurethanes segment experienced strong demand growth and improved margins due to improved MDI volumes and margins. We expect continued pressure in our Pigments segment due to softening demand, competitive pressures and higher raw material costs. We are encouraged by our restructuring efforts and expect the annual EBITDA benefit above our current run rate will exceed $150 million when completed by the end of 2013.

        The following summarizes key considerations that could impact future performance of our operating segments:

Polyurethanes:

Performance Products:

Advanced Materials:

Textile Effects:

Pigments:

        We expect to spend approximately $425 million in 2012 on capital expenditures, largely for growth initiatives and maintenance.

        We expect our long-term effective income tax rate to be approximately 30% to 35%.

NM—Not Meaningful

(1)
Our management uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to assess financial performance. EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is computed by eliminating the following from EBITDA: loss on early extinguishment of debt; gain on consolidation of a variable interest entity; certain legal settlements and related expenses; EBITDA from discontinued operations; acquisition expenses; extraordinary gain on the acquisition of a business; gain on disposition of businesses/assets; and restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs (credits).

Our management also uses adjusted net income to assess financial performance. Adjusted net income is computed by eliminating the after-tax amounts related to the following from net income applicable to Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate: loss on early extinguishment of debt; gain on consolidation of a variable interest entity; certain legal settlements and related expenses; discount amortization on settlement financing; loss from discontinued operations; acquisition expenses; gain on disposition of businesses/assets; extraordinary gain on the acquisition of a business; and restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition 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 net income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share reflects all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and is computed by dividing adjusted net income 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 and adjusted net income per share amounts are presented solely as supplemental information.

Polyurethanes

        The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower average selling prices. MDI sales volumes increased as a result of improved demand in all regions and across most major markets. PO/MTBE sales volumes increased due to strong demand. PO/MTBE average selling prices decreased primarily in response to lower raw material costs, partially offset by an increase in MDI average selling prices. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher margins and higher sales volumes.

Performance Products

        The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was due to lower average selling prices and lower sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased primarily in response to lower raw material costs and the strength of the U.S. dollar against major international currencies. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to lower demand across most markets and a greater shift to tolling arrangements. The decrease in segment EBITDA was primarily due to lower margins, most notably in amines, lower sales volumes, an approximate $5 million impact from an unplanned outage at our ethylene oxide facility and a gain of

$12 million recorded in the second quarter of 2011 in connection with the consolidation of our Sasol-Huntsman joint venture.

Advanced Materials

        The decrease in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily due to lower average selling prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased primarily in response to lower raw material costs, competitive market pressure and the strength of the U.S. dollar against major international currencies. Sales volumes increased across most regions, primarily due to strong demand in our base resins business in the Americas and India, while sales volumes in the Asia-Pacific region decreased due to lower demand in the wind energy and electrical engineering markets. The decrease in segment EBITDA was primarily due to lower margins due in part to the change in sales mix from increased base resin sales volumes. The affect of lower margins was partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative costs as a result of recent restructuring efforts. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, our Advanced Materials segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs of $2 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).

Textile Effects

        The decrease in revenues in our Textile Effects segment for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily due to lower average selling prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to the strength of the U.S. dollar against major international currencies and sales mix. Sales volumes increased due to increased market share in key markets, specifically Asia. The decrease in segment EBITDA was primarily due to lower margins, partially offset by higher sales volumes and lower manufacturing costs as a result of recent restructuring efforts. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, our Textile Effects segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs of $1 million and nil, respectively, and expenses for the transition of production from Basel, Switzerland to a tolling facility of $4 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).

Pigments

        The decrease in revenues in our Pigments segment for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to lower global demand and continued customer destocking, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. Average selling prices increased in all regions of the world primarily as a result of higher raw material costs, partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar against major international currencies. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher margins, partially offset by lower sales volumes.

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, nonoperating income and expense, benzene sales and gains and losses on the disposition of corporate assets. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, EBITDA from Corporate and other increased by $19 million to a loss of $44 million from a loss of $63 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in EBITDA from Corporate and

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, EBITDA from Corporate and other increased by $21 million to a loss of $43 million from a loss of $64 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in EBITDA from Corporate and other for the three months ended June 30, 2012 resulted primarily from a $20 million decrease in LIFO inventory valuation expense ($9 million of income in 2012 compared to $11 million of expense in 2011).

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 loss from discontinued operations represents the operating results, legal costs, restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs and gain (loss) on disposal with respect to our former businesses. The decrease in loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, resulted primarily from higher legal costs in the 2011 period. 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 operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $348 million and $1 million, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period in 2011 was primarily attributable to an increase in operating income as described in "—Results of Operations" above and to a $179 million favorable variance in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared with the same period in 2011.

        Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $185 million and $111 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we paid $163 million and $124 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 our Sasol-Huntsman joint venture and assumed its cash balance of $28 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we made investments in Louisiana Pigments Company, L.P. of $60 million and $10 million, respectively, and received dividends from Louisiana Pigments Company, L.P. of $40 million and $13 million, respectively.

        Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $264 million and $178 million, respectively. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to higher net repayments of debt during the 2012 period as compared to the 2011 period.

Other Debt

        During the six months ended June 30, 2012, HPS repaid $2 million and RMB 120 million (approximately $19 million) on term loans and working capital loans under its secured facilities. As of June 30, 2012, HPS had $10 million and RMB 354 million (approximately $56 million) outstanding under their secured facilities. In connection with these payments, the lenders agreed to release our Company as a guarantor.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2012, HPS repaid RMB 109 million (approximately $17 million) under its loan facility for working capital loans and discounting commercial drafts without recourse. As of June 30, 2012, HPS had RMB 390 million (approximately $62 million) outstanding, which is classified as current portion of debt on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        On March 30, 2012, we repaid the remaining A$26 million (approximately $27 million) outstanding under our Australian Credit Facility, which represents repayment of A$14 million (approximately

87

$15 million) under the revolving facility and A$12 million (approximately $12 million) under the term loan facility.

Note Payable from Huntsman International to Huntsman Corporation

        As of June 30, 2012, we have a loan of $619 million to our subsidiary, Huntsman International. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, Huntsman International borrowed $84 million from us under the Intercompany Note. The Intercompany Note is unsecured and $100 million of the outstanding amount is classified as current as of both June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). As of June 30, 2012, 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 Program, 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

        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.

        Our material financing arrangements contain certain covenants with which we must comply. A failure to comply with a covenant could result in a default under a financing arrangement if not waived or amended. A default under these material financing arrangements generally allows debt holders the option to declare the underlying debt obligations immediately due and payable.

        Furthermore, certain of our material financing arrangements contain cross default and cross acceleration provisions under which a failure to comply with the covenants in one financing arrangement may result in an event of default under another financing arrangement.

        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 fails 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

88

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, 2012, we had $1,098 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity, consisting of $461 million in cash and restricted cash, $383 million in availability under our Revolving Facility, and $254 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:

89


Table of Contents

        As of June 30, 2012, we had $143 million classified as current portion of debt which consists of certain scheduled term payments and various short-term facilities including an HPS borrowing facility in China with $66 million outstanding, our scheduled Senior Credit Facilities amortization payments totaling $17 million, scheduled amortization payments at our VIEs of $23 million and certain other short term facilities and scheduled amortization payments totaling $37 million. Although we cannot provide assurances, we intend to renew or extend the majority of these short-term facilities in the current period.

        As of June 30, 2012, we had approximately $172 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, held by our foreign subsidiaries, including our VIEs. Additionally, we have material intercompany debt obligations owed to us by our non-U.S. subsidiaries. We intend to use cash held in our foreign subsidiaries to fund our local operations. Nevertheless, we could repatriate cash as dividends or as repayments of intercompany debt. If foreign cash were repatriated as dividends, the dividends could be subject to adverse tax consequences. At present, we estimate that we will generate sufficient cash in our U.S. operations, together with the payments of intercompany debt if necessary, to meet our cash needs in the U.S and we do not expect to repatriate material cash to the U.S. as dividends in the near term. Cash held by certain foreign subsidiaries, including our VIEs, may also be subject to legal restrictions, including those arising from the interests of our partners, which could limit the amounts available for repatriation.

RESTRUCTURING, IMPAIRMENT AND PLANT CLOSING COSTS

        Our Polyurethanes, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects and Pigments segments are involved in cost reduction programs that are expected to reduce costs in these businesses by approximately $190 million. These cost savings are expected to be achieved through the third quarter of 2013. For further discussion of these plans and the costs involved, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        For a discussion of legal proceedings, see "Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Matters," "Note 14. Environmental, Health and Safety Matters—Remediation Liabilities" and "Note 17. Discontinued Operations—Australian Styrenics Business Shutdown" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS

        For a discussion of environmental, health and safety matters, see "Note 14. Environmental, Health and Safety Matters" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

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, 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.

        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.

        Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variation. Our revenues and expenses are denominated in various foreign 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 multi-currency 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 foreign 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, 2012, we had approximately $238 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 it has been 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) income. We will pay a fixed 2.6% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate. As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of the hedge was $3 million and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        On January 19, 2010, we entered into an additional 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 it has been 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) income. We will pay a fixed 2.8% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate. As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of the hedge was $3 million and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        On September 1, 2011, we entered into a $50 million forward interest rate contract that will begin in December 2014 with maturity in April 2017 and a $50 million forward interest rate contract that will begin in January 2015 with maturity in April 2017. These two forward contracts are to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities once our existing interest rate hedges mature. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swaps were recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income. Both interest rate contracts will pay a fixed 2.5% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate once the contracts begin in 2014 and 2015, respectively. As of

Table of Contents

June 30, 2012, the combined fair value of these two hedges was $3 million and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        In 2009, Sasol-Huntsman entered into derivative transactions to hedge the variable interest rate associated with its local credit facility. These 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" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). The notional amount of the hedge as of June 30, 2012 was €45 million (approximately $56 million) and the derivative transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting. As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of this hedge was €2 million (approximately $3 million) and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded interest income of less than €1 million (less than $1 million) due to changes in the fair value of the swap.

        Beginning in 2009, Arabian Amines Company entered into a 12-year floating to fixed interest rate contract providing for a receipt of 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 included in our consolidated results. See "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). The notional amount of the swap as of June 30, 2012 was $38 million, and the interest rate contract is not designated as a cash flow hedge. As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of the swap was $6 million and was recorded as other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded a reduction of interest expense of less than $1 million due to changes in the fair value of the swap.

        In conjunction with the issuance of the 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%). These swaps are designated as a hedge of net investment for financial reporting purposes. As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of these swaps was $35 million and was recorded in noncurrent assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        As of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the changes in fair value of the realized gains (losses) recorded in the 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 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) income. From time to time, we review such designation of intercompany loans.

92


Table of Contents

        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, 2012, we have designated €255 million (approximately $318 million) of euro-denominated debt and cross-currency interest rate swaps as a hedge of our net investments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the amount of gain recognized on the hedge of our net investments was $18 and $5 million, respectively and was recorded as a gain in other comprehensive (loss) income. As of June 30, 2012, we had €1,260 million (approximately $1,572 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 Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2012. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2012, 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, 2012 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

Indemnification Matter

        On July 3, 2012, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (the "Banks") demanded that we indemnify them for claims brought by certain MatlinPatterson entities that were formerly our shareholders (the "Plaintiffs") in litigation filed June 19, 2012 in the 9th District Court in Montgomery County, Texas. The Banks assert that they are entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Agreement of Compromise and Settlement between the Banks and our Company, dated June 22, 2009, wherein the Banks and our Company settled claims that we brought relating to the failed merger with Hexion. Plaintiffs claim that the Banks knowingly made materially false representations about the nature of the financing for the acquisition of our Company by Hexion and that they suffered substantial losses to their 19 million shares of our common stock as a result of the Banks' misrepresentations. Plaintiffs are asserting statutory fraud, common law fraud and aiding and abetting statutory fraud and are seeking actual damages, exemplary damages, costs and attorney's fees, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. We have denied the Banks' demand and continue to monitor the litigation. At this time, we are unable to estimate the amount or range of possible losses with respect to these claims.
