2014 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýIn connection with a September 2014 announcement of a feasibility study into a MDI production expansion at our Geismar, Louisiana facility, we concluded that certain capitalized engineering costs associated with a previously planned MDI production expansion at our Rotterdam, The Netherlands facility were impaired and our Polyurethanes segment recorded a noncash impairment charge of $16Ìýmillion during 2014.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýDuring 2013, our Performance Products segment initiated a restructuring program to refocus its surfactants business in Europe. In connection with this program, in 2014 we completed the sale of our European commodity surfactants business, including the ethoxylation facility in Lavera, France to Wilmar. In addition, Wilmar has entered into a multi-year arrangement to purchase certain sulfated surfactant products from our facilities in St.ÌýMihiel, France and Castiglione delle Stiviere, Italy. Additionally, in 2014 we ceased production at our Patrica, Italy surfactants facility. During 2014, we recorded charges of $23Ìýmillion primarily related to workforce reductions. We expect to complete this program by the end of 2015.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýDuring 2014, our Advanced Materials segment recorded charges of $11Ìýmillion primarily related to workforce reductions with our global transformational change program designed to improve the segment's manufacturing efficiencies, enhance its commercial excellence and improve its long-term global competitiveness. We expect to incur charges related to this program through the second quarter of 2015.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýDuring 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 program, during 2014, our Textile Effects segment recorded charges of $19Ìýmillion, including a $9Ìýmillion noncash charge for a pension settlement loss. We expect to incur charges related to this program through 2015. In June 2014, we announced plans for the closure of our Qingdao, China plant to be completed by December 2015. During 2014, we recorded charges of $6Ìýmillion primarily related to workforce reductions related to this initiative. We expect to incur charges related to this program through the end of 2016.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOn DecemberÌý1, 2014, we announced that we are taking significant action to improve the global competitiveness of our Pigments and Additives segment. As part of a comprehensive restructuring program, we plan to reduce our workforce by approximately 900 positions. In connection with this restructuring program, we recorded restructuring expense of $57Ìýmillion in the fourth quarter of 2014 related primarily to workforce reductions. We expect to record additional restructuring expense in 2015 once negotiations of employee termination benefits with European works councils are completed.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOn FebruaryÌý12, 2015, we announced plans to reduce our titanium dioxide capacity by approximately 100 kt by closing specific operations at our Calais, France facility, subject to consultation with employees and appropriate representative groups. This plan is in addition to that announced on DecemberÌý1, 2014.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýDuring 2014, our Corporate and other segment recorded charges of $13Ìýmillion primarily related to the reorganization of our global information technology organization. We expect to incur charges related to this program through the end of 2015.
