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

1. GENERAL (Continued)

COMPANY

Our Company, a Delaware corporation, was formed in 2004 to hold the Huntsman businesses. Jon M. Huntsman founded the predecessor to our Company in the early 1970s as a small packaging company. Since then, we have grown through a series of acquisitions and now own a global portfolio of businesses.

We operate all of our businesses through Huntsman International, our 100% owned subsidiary. Huntsman International is a Delaware limited liability company and was formed in 1999.

HUNTSMAN CORPORATION AND HUNTSMAN INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

•: purchase accounting recorded at our Company for the 2003 step-acquisition of Huntsman International Holdings LLC, the former parent company of Huntsman International that was merged into Huntsman International in 2005;
•: the different capital structures;
•: a note payable from Huntsman International to us;
•: income (expenses) associated with our terminated merger with Hexion (the "Merger") and related litigation; and
•: our $250 million 7% convertible notes (the "Convertible Notes") issued to Apollo affiliates pursuant to the settlement agreement with respect to certain Merger-related litigation (the "Settlement Agreement").

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) and Huntsman International's condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) include the accounts of our wholly-owned and majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and any variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. During the first quarter of 2009, we reorganized our operating segments to divide our former Materials and Effects segment into two different segments—our Advanced Materials segment and our Textile Effects segment. All segment information for prior periods has been restated to reflect this change.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Senior Credit Facilities Waiver

On April 16, 2009, Huntsman International obtained a waiver (the "Waiver") to the agreement (the "Credit Agreement") governing our senior secured credit facilities ("Senior Credit Facilities"). Under the Waiver, a majority of the revolving lenders under our $650 million revolving facility (the "Revolving Facility") agreed to conditionally waive Huntsman International's compliance with its sole financial covenant, a senior secured leverage ratio covenant calculated by dividing senior secured debt by EBITDA as defined in the Credit Agreement (the "Leverage Covenant"). The Waiver is effective from April 16, 2009 through June 30, 2010. For more information, see "Note 7. Debt—Transactions Affecting our Debt—Senior Credit Facilities."

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. This FSP provides guidance for estimating the fair value of an asset or liability when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased, as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. It also requires disclosure in interim and annual periods of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs, if any, during the period. This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. We are evaluating this FSP to determine its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also requires disclosure about the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and changes in those methods and significant assumptions, if any, during the period. This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We are evaluating this FSP to determine its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We adopted SFAS No. 141 (R), Business Combinations, which replaced SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 on January 1, 2009. These statements significantly change the accounting for

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

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)

business combinations and noncontrolling interests. Among other things, these statements require more assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at fair value as of the acquisition date, liabilities related to contingent consideration to be remeasured to fair value each subsequent reporting period, an acquirer in preacquisition periods to expense all acquisition-related costs, and noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries initially to be measured at fair value and to be presented separately in the financial statements. Upon adoption of this standard, we recorded a charge of $1 million in the first quarter of 2009 to selling, general and administrative expenses to write off previously deferred acquisition costs related to our pending Baroda acquisition. See "Note 3. Business Combinations." We retroactively applied the presentation and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 160 to all prior periods presented.

We adopted FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination that Arise from Contingencies, on January 1, 2009. This FSP requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies to be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated. If fair value of such assets and liabilities cannot be reasonably estimated, the assets or liabilities would generally be recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and FASB Interpretation No. 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss. Further, this FSP requires contingent consideration arrangements of an acquiree assumed by the acquirer in a business combination to be initially recognized and subsequently measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS 141(R). The adoption of this FSP did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We adopted Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 08-6, Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations, on January 1, 2009. EITF 08-6 clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, Employers' Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets. This FSP provides guidance on an employers' disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The disclosures about plan assets required by this FSP are to be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. We are evaluating FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1 to determine its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We adopted SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an Amendment of FASB Statement 133 on January 1, 2009. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures regarding the effect of an entity's derivative instruments and related hedging activities on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows. See "Note 8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

PENDING BARODA ACQUISITION

On June 29, 2007, we signed an agreement to acquire the Baroda division of Metrochem Industries Limited ("MCIL"), a manufacturer of textile dyes and intermediates in India. Under the terms of the agreement, either party may terminate the agreement since the transaction was not consummated by April 30, 2008. As of March 31, 2009, this agreement had not been terminated. On

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (Continued)

February 6, 2009, we entered into a non-binding agreement in principle with MCIL under which the purchase price was revised to be approximately $29 million (U.S. dollar equivalents). This purchase price excludes from working capital the receivables existing on the closing date due to MCIL from our affiliates, which will be settled in the ordinary course. We anticipate that the majority of the purchase price will be funded through local financing. We expect to complete this acquisition before the end of the second quarter of 2009. However, there can be no assurances that this transaction will be consummated or, if consummated, that it will be consummated on the terms set forth above.

4. INVENTORIES

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

	March 31, 2009			December 31, 2008

Raw materials and supplies	$	270		$	282
Work in progress		86			88
Finished goods		1,021			1,192

Total		1,377			1,562
LIFO reserves		(44	)		(62	)

Net	$	1,333		$	1,500

As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, approximately 10% and 9%, respectively, of inventories were recorded using the last-in, first-out 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 non-monetary open exchange positions are valued at cost. The amounts included in inventory under non-monetary open exchange agreements payable by us as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $11 million and $19 million, respectively. Other open exchanges are settled in cash and result in a net deferred profit margin. The amounts under these open exchange agreements receivable by us at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were nil and $5 million, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, our Polyurethanes segment recorded charges of $1 million for an initiative related to our U.K.-based Global Expatriation Services department that will be completed in 2009.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, our Pigments segment recorded charges of $9 million primarily related to severance costs associated with the closure of our Grimsby, U.K. plant and central cost reduction projects. Our Pigments segment also recorded a non-cash charge of $4 million primarily related to a write down of engineering spare parts at our Grimsby, U.K. plant. In addition, we accelerated the depreciation of the long-lived assets associated with our Grimbsy, U.K. plant. We expect to incur additional charges of $37 million related to the closure of our Grimbsy, U.K. plant through June 30, 2010.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recorded charges of $1 million in Corporate and Other related to our 2009 fixed cost reduction project announced in the fourth quarter of 2008.

6. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

During 2008, we contributed $44 million as our 50% equity contribution to our ethyleneamines manufacturing joint venture in Jubail Industrial City, Saudi Arabia (the "Saudi Joint Venture") with Zamil Group. This joint venture's funding requirements will be satisfied through a combination of debt and equity, with the equity already provided on a 50/50 basis by us and Zamil Group. The joint venture obtained various loan commitments in the aggregate amount of approximately $195 million (U.S. dollar equivalents), of which $60 million was drawn under a short-term bridge loan facility as of March 31, 2009. We have provided certain guarantees of approximately $14 million for these commitments which will terminate upon completion of the project and satisfaction of certain conditions. We have estimated that the fair value of these guarantees was nil as of the closing date of this transaction and, accordingly, no amounts have been recorded. This joint venture is accounted for under the equity method.

7. DEBT (Continued)

DIRECT AND SUBSIDIARY DEBT

Our direct debt and guarantee obligations consist of our Convertible Notes, our guarantees of certain debt of HPS and SLIC, our Chinese MDI joint ventures, our Saudi Joint Venture, and certain indebtedness incurred from time to time to finance certain insurance premiums. Substantially all of our other debt has been incurred by our subsidiaries (primarily Huntsman International); such subsidiary debt is nonrecourse to us and we have no contractual obligation to fund our subsidiaries' respective operations.

TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING OUR DEBT

Senior Credit Facilities

As of March 31, 2009, our Senior Credit Facilities consisted of (i) a $650 million Revolving Facility and (ii) a $1,524 million term loan B facility (the "Dollar Term Loan"). As of March 31, 2009, we had no borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Facility, and we had approximately $31 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit and bank guarantees issued and outstanding under our Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility matures in August 2010 and the Dollar Term Loan matures in 2014; provided, however, that the maturities of the Revolving Facility and the Dollar Term Loan will accelerate if we do not repay or refinance all but $100 million of our outstanding debt securities on or before three months prior to the maturity dates of such debt securities (the next maturity date of such debt securities is October 15, 2010).

Our Senior Credit Facilities are subject to a single financial covenant, the Leverage Covenant, which applies only to the Revolving Facility. 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). On April 16, 2009, Huntsman International entered into the Waiver with respect to the Leverage Covenant.

The Waiver is effective from April 16, 2009 through June 30, 2010. The Leverage Covenant requires that the maximum senior secured leverage ratio does not exceed 5.00 to 1.00. Prior to the Waiver, the maximum permitted ratio was 3.75 to 1.00. In addition, the Waiver modifies the calculation used to determine compliance with the Leverage Covenant as follows:

•: by permitting us to add back to "Consolidated EBITDA" any lost profits that are attributable to Hurricanes Gustav and Ike that occurred in 2008 (such amounts being $49 million and $18 million for the third and fourth quarters, respectively, of 2008); and
•: by modifying the definition of "Permitted Non-Cash Impairment and Restructuring Charges" by replacing a reference to $100 million with $200 million for permitted cash charges to be added back to "Consolidated EBITDA".

As consideration for the Waiver, Huntsman International agreed to increase the interest paid on the Revolving Facility by 225 basis points from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 4.00% and to

Table of Contents

HUNTSMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

HUNTSMAN INTERNATIONAL LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

7. DEBT (Continued)

increase the applicable unused fee by 25 basis points from 0.50% to 0.75%. In addition, during the Wavier period, Huntsman International agreed as follows:

•: to not request a borrowing under the Revolving Facility during the next succeeding fiscal quarter if compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio, as agreed to in the Waiver, is not met in any fiscal quarter;
•: to not repay or make any payment of principal or interest under the Intercompany Note (defined below) if there are outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility or to reduce the principal amount outstanding under the Intercompany Note to less than $525 million; and
•: to not make any restricted payments in an aggregate amount greater than the sum of $100 million plus Available Equity Proceeds (as defined in the Credit Agreement) received by Huntsman International.

At the present time, borrowings under the Revolving Facility and Dollar Term Loan bear interest at LIBOR plus 4.0% and LIBOR plus 1.75%, respectively. However, the applicable interest rate of the Dollar Term Loan is subject to a reduction to LIBOR plus 1.50% upon achieving certain secured leverage ratio thresholds.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we paid the annual scheduled repayment of $16 million on our Dollar Term Loan. Inclusive of this repayment, we made net repayments on our debt of approximately $61 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009, excluding our off-balance sheet accounts receivable securitization program (the "A/R Securitization Program").

Intercompany Note

As of March 31, 2009, under an existing promissory note (the "Intercompany Note"), we have loaned $952 million to our subsidiary, Huntsman International. Huntsman International used a portion of such funds to repay borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility and the remainder was temporarily held in cash. The Intercompany Note is unsecured and $427 million of the outstanding amount is classified as current as of March 31, 2009 on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). As of March 31, 2009, 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 A/R Securitization Program for U.S. dollar outstandings, less 10 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). Subject to the conditions of the Waiver referenced above, with our consent, the principal and accrued interest outstanding under the Intercompany Note may also be forgiven, capitalized or satisfied with any alternate form of consideration. Subsequent to March 31, 2009, Huntsman International has reduced its borrowings on the Intercompany Note with available cash.

COMPLIANCE WITH COVENANTS

We are in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the agreements governing our debt instruments, including our Senior Credit Facilities, our A/R Securitization Program and the indentures governing our notes.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

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

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

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

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

On January 15, 2008, we entered into a series of forward foreign currency contracts in our Pigments segment to partially hedge the impact, for up to one year, of movements in foreign currency rates associated with the purchases of raw materials and sales of pigment in non-functional currencies. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, any remaining contracts matured and the realized gains (losses) recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited) were not considered significant. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the effective portion of the changes in fair value of $2 million was recorded in other comprehensive income.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (Continued)

three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded a foreign currency loss on this swap of $14 million in the condensed consolidated statement of operations (unaudited).

On October 24, 2008, we unwound a cross currency interest rate swap pursuant to which we had swapped $96 million of LIBOR floating rate debt payments for €71 million of EURIBOR floating rate debt payments. This swap was designated as a hedge of a net investment for financial reporting purposes. We received a cash benefit from the unwind of $3 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of $8 million were recorded in other comprehensive income.

As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2009, the changes in fair value of the realized gains (losses) recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited) of our other outstanding foreign currency rate hedging contracts and derivatives were not considered significant.

A significant portion of our 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 March 31, 2009, we have designated approximately €225 million ($299 million) of euro-denominated debt as a hedge of our net investments. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the amount of gain recognized on the hedge of our net investments was $15 million and was recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income. As of March 31, 2009, we had approximately €929 million ($1,235 million) in net euro assets.

9. SECURITIZATION OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Under our A/R Securitization Program, we grant an undivided interest in certain of our trade receivables to a qualified off-balance sheet entity (the "Receivables Trust") at a discount. This undivided interest serves as security for the issuance by the Receivables Trust of commercial paper. The A/R Securitization Program currently provides for financing through various commercial paper conduit programs (in both U.S. dollars and euros). The A/R Securitization Program consists of commercial paper conduit programs with a committed amount of approximately $575 million (U.S. dollar equivalents). Because of various factors such as market demand, lower pricing and changes in foreign currency rates, the underlying effective capacity of the program has declined. As of March 31, 2009, the Receivables Trust had $328 million in U.S. dollar equivalents (comprised of $116 million and approximately €160 million ($212 million)) in commercial paper outstanding.

9. SECURITIZATION OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE (Continued)

The A/R Securitization Program matures on November 12, 2009. We have already begun discussions with the program providers to extend this program beyond its current maturity. Although we can make no assurances, we intend to extend the A/R Securitization Program beyond its stated term.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (dollars in millions):

			Fair Value Amounts Using

12. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

5% MANDATORY CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

In connection with the initial public offering of our 5% mandatory convertible preferred stock on February 16, 2005, we declared all dividends that will be payable on such preferred stock from the issuance through the mandatory conversion date, which was February 16, 2008. Accordingly, we recorded dividends payable of $43 million and a corresponding charge to net loss attributable to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders during the year ended December 31, 2005. We paid the final dividend in cash on February 16, 2008. Also on February 16, 2008, the mandatory convertible preferred stock converted, pursuant to its terms, into 12,082,475 shares of our common stock.

COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS

On March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, we paid cash dividends of $23 million each, or $0.10 per share each, to common stockholders of record as of March 16, 2009 and March 14, 2008, respectively.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Texas Bank Litigation

On September 30, 2008, we filed suit in the 9th Judicial District Court in Montgomery County, Texas (the "Texas Bank Litigation") against affiliates of Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank AG (the "Lenders"), alleging, among other things, that the Lenders had conspired to tortiously interfere with our merger agreement with Basell AF. Our petition against the Lenders includes claims of common law fraud, civil conspiracy, and tortious interference with contract. We are seeking to recover damages measured by the benefit of the bargain, our out-of-pocket losses, restitution, or the amount by which the Lenders were unjustly enriched as a result of the injuries we believe they inflicted on us. Discovery, including depositions, is ongoing. A court ordered mediation is scheduled to begin May 13, 2009. Trial is currently set for June 8, 2009. We intend to prosecute our claims vigorously.

In connection with the Texas Bank Litigation, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement with respect to the Merger-related litigation, we agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Hexion, Apollo and certain related parties from any claim for indemnification or contribution or any other claim asserted against such parties by the Lenders or their affiliates that in any way arises out of any claims made by us and our affiliates against the Lenders, including claims for contribution asserted by the Lenders against Apollo and its affiliates. Our indemnification obligation does not cover legal fees and expenses incurred by the Lenders or the attorneys' fees and expenses of the indemnified parties in defending the Lenders' claims. The aggregate amount we must pay pursuant to indemnification will not exceed the amount of our recovery collected, if any, in the Texas Bank Litigation net of attorney fees, costs and expenses related to the Texas Bank Litigation.

In addition, we, together with certain of our affiliates, have entered into a letter agreement with Hexion and certain of its affiliates and Apollo and certain of its affiliates, pursuant to which we agreed to pay Apollo and certain of its affiliates an amount of cash equal to 20% of the value of cash and non-cash consideration that is in excess of $500 million that we may obtain or receive in settlement in connection with any claims we made against the Lenders arising from or relating to the Merger Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby and related matters, including the Texas Bank Litigation, after we first recover our attorneys' fees, costs and expenses in making the claim. In no circumstance will the aggregate amount of payments owed by us to the Apollo parties under the letter agreement exceed $425 million. Moreover, in the event trial commences in the Texas Bank Litigation, any interest on the part of the Apollo parties will terminate immediately and we will not owe any portion of any subsequent recovery to the Apollo parties.

Discoloration Claims

Certain claims have been filed against us relating to discoloration of unplasticized polyvinyl chloride products allegedly caused by our titanium dioxide ("Discoloration Claims"). Substantially all of the titanium dioxide that is the subject of these claims was manufactured prior to our acquisition of the titanium dioxide business from ICI in 1999. Net of amounts we have received from insurers and pursuant to contracts of indemnity, we have paid an aggregate of approximately $16 million in costs and settlement amounts for Discoloration Claims through March 31, 2009.

During each of the three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, we did not settle any Discoloration Claims. The two Discoloration Claims unresolved as of March 31, 2009 asserted aggregate damages of €36 million (approximately $48 million). An appropriate liability has been accrued for these claims. Based on our understanding of the merits of these claims and our rights under contracts of indemnity and insurance, we do not believe that the net impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity will be material.

While additional Discoloration Claims may be made in the future, we cannot reasonably estimate the amount of loss related to such claims. Although we may incur additional costs as a result of future claims (including settlement costs), based on our history with Discoloration Claims to date, the fact that substantially all of the titanium dioxide that has been the subject of these Discoloration Claims was manufactured and sold more than nine years ago, and the fact that we have rights under contract to indemnity, including from ICI, we do not believe that any unasserted Discoloration Claims will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Based on this conclusion and our inability to reasonably estimate our expected costs with respect to these unasserted claims, we have made no accruals in our financial statements as of March 31, 2009 for costs associated with unasserted Discoloration Claims.

Asbestos Litigation

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

Where a claimant's alleged exposure occurred prior to our ownership of the relevant "premises," the prior owners generally have contractually agreed to retain liability for, and to indemnify us against, asbestos exposure claims. This indemnification is not subject to any time or dollar amount limitations. Upon service of a complaint in one of these cases, we tender it to the prior owner. None of the complaints in these cases state the amount of damages being sought. The prior owner accepts responsibility for the conduct of the defense of the cases and payment of any amounts due to the claimants. In our nearly fourteen-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.

(1): 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 March 31, 2009, we had an accrued liability of $16 million relating to these cases and a corresponding receivable of $16 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; however, 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 March 31, 2009.

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

We paid gross settlement costs for asbestos exposure cases that are not subject to indemnification of nil during both the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. 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; however, 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 March 31, 2009.

Antitrust Matters

We have been named as a defendant in civil 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 known as In re Urethane Antitrust Litigation, MDL No. 1616, Civil No. 2:04-md-01616-JWL-DJW, pending in the United States District Court, District of Kansas. The Kansas court has ruled that plaintiffs may prosecute the Polyether Polyols cases on behalf of a class of all direct purchasers of polyether polyol products in the U.S. Bayer has entered into a settlement with the plaintiffs' class and has been dismissed as a defendant. Merits discovery is underway, and trial has been set for May 3, 2011.

We and the other Polyether Polyol defendants (excluding Bayer) have also been named as defendants in two civil antitrust suits brought by certain direct purchasers of polyether polyol products that opted out of the class certified in MDL No. 1616. These cases have been brought by 12 groups of affiliated companies, 73 plaintiffs in all, who allege that between 1994 and 2006 inclusive the Polyether Polyol defendants conspired to fix the prices of polyether polyol products sold in the U.S. and abroad in violation of the Sherman Act, similar laws of several U.S. states, and the laws of the European Union and certain of its member states. We and the other defendants have moved to dismiss the opt-out complaints.

We, along with the other Polyether Polyols defendants and Rhodia, have also been named as defendants in civil antitrust suits alleging a conspiracy to fix the prices of polyether polyol products sold in Canada in violation of Canadian competition law. These cases, filed in the Superior Court of Justice, Ontario, Canada on May 5, 2006 and in Superior Court, Quebec, Canada on May 17, 2006, purport to be brought on behalf of various classes of Canadian direct purchasers of polyether polyol products. There has been little activity in these cases since they were filed.

Along with Flexsys, Crompton (now Chemtura), Uniroyal, Rhein Chemie Rheinau and the other Polyether Polyol defendants, we also have been named as a defendant in a civil antitrust suit pending in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco, filed on February 15, 2005, that alleges that between 1994 and 2004 the defendants conspired to fix the prices of certain rubber and urethane products sold in California in violation of antitrust and unfair competition laws of California. This case purports to be brought on behalf of a class of all California purchasers of products containing rubber and urethanes products. By agreement of the parties this case has been stayed pending the resolution of MDL No. 1616.

Along with Dow, BASF, and Lyondell, we have also been named as a defendant in a third amended complaint proposed for filing in an existing civil antitrust suit pending against Bayer and Chemtura in federal district court in Massachusetts. The proposed amended complaint alleges that beginning around 1990 we and the other defendants conspired to fix the prices of MDI, TDI, polyether polyols, and polyester polyols sold throughout the U.S. in violation of the federal Sherman Act and the laws of various states. The proposed amended complaint seeks to sue on behalf of all indirect purchasers of such products in the U.S. The Massachusetts action has been stayed pending plaintiffs' settlement of the previously asserted claims against Bayer and Chemtura. We have filed papers opposing the motion for leave to file the proposed amended complaint adding us as a defendant in that action.

The plaintiffs' pleadings in these various antitrust suits provide few specifics about any alleged illegal conduct on our part, and we are not aware of any illegal conduct by us or any of our employees. For these reasons, we cannot estimate the possibility of loss or range of loss relating to these claims, and therefore we have not accrued a liability for these claims. Nevertheless, we could incur losses due to these claims in the future and such losses could be material.

In addition, on February 16, 2006, the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice served us with a grand jury subpoena requesting production of documents relating to our sale of polyether polyol products. The other defendants in the Polyether Polyols cases have confirmed that they were also served with subpoenas in this matter. We cooperated fully with the investigation, and by letter dated December 16, 2007, the U.S. Department of Justice notified us that its investigation of possible antitrust violations by manufacturers of polyether polyol products has been closed.

MTBE Litigation

We are named as a defendant in 16 lawsuits pending in multidistrict litigation filed between March 23, 2007 and March 31, 2009 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and New York state court alleging liability related to MTBE contamination in groundwater. Numerous other companies, including refiners, manufacturers and sellers of gasoline, as well as manufacturers of MTBE, were named as defendants in these and many other cases that were pending in U.S. courts. The plaintiffs in the 16 cases in which we were named are municipal water districts, a regional water supply authority, and municipal corporations that claim that defendants' conduct has caused MTBE contamination of their groundwater. We were dismissed from eight of these cases without prejudice for lack of federal court jurisdiction over the claims, and two other dismissals are pending. Seven of the eight dismissed cases, as well as three additional new actions, were re-filed or filed on March 31, 2009: six in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau and four in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Suffolk, leaving 16 cases now pending against us. The other action that was dismissed could also be re-filed in state court in New York, which would bring the total number of cases to 17. The plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, such as monitoring and abatement, compensatory damages, punitive damages and attorney fees. At this time, we have insufficient information to meaningfully assess our potential exposure in these cases and therefore we have not accrued a liability for these claims. We believe that our liability in these cases, if any, would likely be covered, at least in part, by insurance and/or by indemnity agreements with prior owners.

Shareholder Litigation

From July 5 to July 13, 2007, four putative shareholder class action complaints were filed against our Company and our directors alleging breaches of fiduciary duty in connection with our then-proposed sale to Basell and the receipt of a superior proposal from Hexion. Three actions were filed in Delaware: Cohen v. Archibald, et al., No. 3070, in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware (filed July 5, 2007); Augenstein v. Archibald, et al., No. 3076, in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware (filed July 9, 2007); and Murphy v. Huntsman, et al., No. 3094, in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware (filed July 13, 2007). Another action was filed in Texas: ]Schwoegler v. Huntsman Corporation, et al., Cause No. 07-07-06993-CV, in the 9th Judicial District Court of Montgomery County, Texas (filed July 6, 2007). As subsequently amended, these lawsuits together allege that we and our directors breached fiduciary duties to the stockholders by, among other things, engaging in an unfair sales process, approving an unfair price per share for the Merger with Hexion, and making inadequate disclosures to stockholders, and that Basell, Hexion and MatlinPatterson entities aided and abetted these breaches of fiduciary duty. The lawsuits sought to enjoin the stockholder vote on the Merger.

On September 20, 2007, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with plaintiffs' counsel in the Delaware and Texas actions to settle these four lawsuits. As part of the proposed settlement, the defendants denied all allegations of wrongdoing, but we agreed to make certain additional disclosures in the final proxy statement that was mailed to our stockholders on or about September 14, 2007. In connection with the settlement, the parties also reached an agreement with respect to any application that the plaintiffs' counsel would have made for an award of customary attorneys' fees and expenses to be paid following the completion of the Merger.

The Memorandum of Understanding is now null and void and of no force and effect because the Merger was not consummated. The Texas action has been voluntarily dismissed, but there have been no further developments in the Delaware actions at this time.

Port Arthur Plant Fire Insurance Litigation

On August 31, 2007, an action was brought against our Company and International Risk Insurance Company ("IRIC"), our captive insurer, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, by seventeen reinsurance companies (the "Reinsurers") that reinsure risks under the property insurance policy issued by IRIC to our Company (the "Policy") for the period covering the April 29, 2006 fire at our manufacturing facility in Port Arthur, Texas. The action sought to compel our Company and IRIC to arbitrate with the Reinsurers to resolve disputes related to the claim for losses caused by the fire or, in the alternative, to declare judgment in favor of the Reinsurers. On September 26, 2008, the court denied motions to dismiss filed by our Company and IRIC, ordering the parties to engage in a short period of discovery on the issue of arbitrability. In a second and related action filed by our Company against IRIC in state court in Jefferson County, Texas, IRIC filed a third party petition against the Reinsurers, who then removed that action to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Some of the Reinsurers filed answers and motions to compel arbitration, to stay these proceedings, and to change venue to the United States District Court for the

Southern District of Texas in order to consolidate the two actions. We filed a motion to remand that action to the state court and opposition to the Reinsurers' motions in that action. On April 23, 2008, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas transferred the case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. On September 26, 2008, the court denied our motion to remand that suit to the state court in which it was filed.

Pursuant to a December 29, 2008 agreement among the parties to the actions referenced above: (1) a mediation was scheduled for February 24-25, 2009, (2) if the disputes were not fully resolved in mediation, the parties would submit all coverage and quantum issues to a three-arbitrator panel in August of 2009, with a binding award to be entered by September 30, 2009, (3) the Reinsurers paid an additional $40 million on our claim on December 29, 2008 and agreed that all monies paid by the participating Reinsurers on the claim to date are nonrefundable, (4) we waived our noncontractual claims against the Reinsurers, (5) the first action referenced above is stayed pending final resolution and entry of judgment, and (6) the second action referenced above has been dismissed. Because the non-binding mediation was not successful, we and the Reinsurers will participate in binding arbitration which is expected to occur in the latter half of 2009. Reinsurers responsible for a small percentage of our remaining claim were not parties to the two lawsuits and are not parties to the agreement; thus we may need to pursue actions against them separately for their pro rata shares of the unpaid claim. We have paid our deductible on the claim of $60 million and have been paid $365 million to date by the Reinsurers. As of March 31, 2009, we have claimed an additional approximately $243 million as presently due and owing and unpaid under the Policy for losses caused by the fire, and we anticipate filing additional claims. For more information, see "Note 17. Casualty Losses and Insurance Recoveries—Port Arthur, Texas Plant Fire."

Other Proceedings

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

GUARANTEES

On September 19, 2003, SLIC obtained secured financing for the construction of production facilities. SLIC obtained various committed loans in the aggregate amount of approximately $230 million in U.S. dollar equivalents. As of March 31, 2009, there were $68 million and RMB 840 million (approximately $123 million) in outstanding borrowings under these facilities. The interest rate on these facilities is LIBOR plus 0.48% for U.S. dollar borrowings and 90% of the Peoples Bank of China rate for RMB borrowings. The loans are secured by substantially all the assets of SLIC and will be paid in 16 semiannual installments (of which 12 installments remain), which began on June 30, 2007. We unconditionally guarantee 35% of any amounts due and unpaid by SLIC under the loans described above (except for the value added tax facility which is not guaranteed). Our guarantee remains in effect until SLIC has met certain conditions. The conditions outstanding include completion

of the building and equipment mortgage registrations, which are progressing, and maintaining a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1:1 at the time such registrations are completed. We have estimated that the fair value of this guarantee is nil as of the closing of the transaction and, accordingly, no amounts have been recorded.

Our unconsolidated Saudi Joint Venture obtained various loan commitments in the aggregate amount of approximately $195 million (U.S. dollar equivalents). We have provided certain guarantees of approximately $14 million for these commitments, and our guarantees will terminate upon completion of the project and satisfaction of certain other conditions. We have estimated that the fair value of such guarantees was nil as of the closing date of this transaction and, accordingly, no amounts have been recorded.

15. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS

GENERAL

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

EHS 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 three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, our capital expenditures for EHS matters totaled $8 million and

Table of Contents

HUNTSMAN INTERNATIONAL LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

15. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS (Continued)

$14 million, respectively. Since capital expenditures for these matters are subject to evolving regulatory requirements and depend, in part, on the timing, promulgation and enforcement of specific requirements, we cannot provide assurance that our recent expenditures will be indicative of future amounts required under EHS laws.

REMEDIATION LIABILITIES

We have incurred, and we may in the future incur, liabilities 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 wastes that were 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 U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("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. We have been notified by third parties of claims against us for cleanup liabilities at approximately 10 former facilities or third party sites, including, but not limited to, sites listed under CERCLA. Based on current information and past experiences at other CERCLA sites, we do not expect any of these third party claims to result in material liability to us.

In addition, under the U.S. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended ("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.

In June of 2006, an agreement was reached between the local regulatory authorities and our advanced materials site in Pamplona, Spain to relocate our manufacturing operations in order to facilitate new urban development desired by the city. Subsequently, as required by the authorities, soil and groundwater sampling was performed and followed by a quantitative risk assessment. Although unresolved at this time, some level of remediation of site contamination may be required in the future, but the estimated cost is unknown because the remediation approach and timing has not been determined.

By letter dated March 7, 2006, our Base Chemicals and Polymers facility in West Footscray, Australia, was issued a clean-up notice by the Australian (Victorian) EPA due to concerns about soil and groundwater contamination emanating from the site. The agency revoked the original clean-up notice on September 4, 2007 and issued a revised clean-up notice due to "the complexity of contamination issues" at the site. On March 21, 2009, we submitted the required Site Remediation Action Plan to the agency which proposed additional investigation and remediation method trials. We

Table of Contents

can provide no assurance that the EPA will agree with our proposed plan or will not seek to institute additional requirements for the site. However, we do not believe the costs to us associated with this issue will be material.

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

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

Environmental Reserves

We have accrued liabilities relating to anticipated environmental cleanup obligations, site reclamation and closure costs and known penalties. Liabilities are recorded when potential liabilities are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Our liability estimates are based upon requirements placed upon the company by regulators, available facts, existing technology and past experience. The environmental liabilities do not include amounts recorded as asset retirement obligations. We had accrued $8 million and $7 million for environmental liabilities as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Of these amounts, $5 million and $4 million were classified as accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and $3 million each were classified as other noncurrent liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. In certain cases, our remediation liabilities may be payable over periods of up to 30 years. We may incur losses for environmental remediation in excess of the amounts accrued; however, we are not able to estimate the amount or range of such potential excess.

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

In December 2006, the EU parliament and EU council approved a new EU regulatory framework for chemicals called "REACH" (Registration, Evaluation and AuthoriSation of Chemicals). REACH took effect on June 1, 2007, and the program it establishes will be phased in over 11 years. Under the regulation, companies that manufacture in or import into the European Economic Area (EEA) more than one metric tonne of a chemical substance per year will be required to register such chemical

substances and isolated intermediates in a central database. Use authorizations will be granted for a specific chemical if the applicants can show that the risks in using the chemical are adequately controlled; and for chemicals where there are no suitable alternatives substances or technologies available and the applicant can demonstrate that the social and economic benefits of using the chemical outweigh the risks. In addition, specified uses of some hazardous substances may be restricted. Furthermore, all applicants will have to study the availability of alternative chemicals. If an alternative is available, an applicant will have to submit a "substitution" plan to the regulatory agency. The regulatory agency will only authorize persistent bio-accumulative and toxic substances if an alternative chemical is not available. The registration, evaluation and authorization phases of the program will require expenditures and resource commitments in order to, for example, participate in mandatory data-sharing forums; acquire, generate and evaluate data; prepare and submit dossiers for substance registration; obtain legal advice and reformulate products, if necessary. We have established a cross-business European REACH team that is working closely with our businesses to identify and list all substances purchased or manufactured in or imported into the EEA. Our pre-registration REACH compliance began on June 1, 2008, utilizing internal resources at nominal expense, and we met all chemical pre-registration requirements by the November 30, 2008 regulatory deadline. We are currently proceeding with the registration of the high-volume and high-priority chemicals under the program. Although the total long-term cost for REACH compliance is not estimable at this time, we spent approximately $2 million and $3 million during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, on REACH compliance.

GREENHOUSE GAS REGULATION

In the EU and other jurisdictions committed to compliance with the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, there is an increasing likelihood that our manufacturing sites will be affected in some way over the next few years by regulation or taxation of greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions. In addition, although the U.S. is not a signatory to the Convention, several states are implementing their own GHG regulatory programs, and a federal program in the U.S. is likely for the future. Draft U.S. Federal legislation and the recent U.S. EPA Clean Air Act endangerment findings for carbon dioxide have focused corporate attention on the eventuality of measuring and reporting of GHG emissions for operations in the U.S. The U.S. EPA has also recently proposed mandatory GHG reporting requirements for U.S. sources in excess of 25,000 tons. Final details of a comprehensive U.S. GHG management approach is, as yet, uncertain. Nevertheless, we are already managing and reporting GHG emissions, to varying degrees, as required by law for our sites in locations subject to Kyoto obligations and/or EU emissions trading scheme requirements. Although these sites are subject to existing GHG legislation, but few have experienced or anticipate significant cost increases as a result, although it is likely that GHG emission restrictions will increase over time. Potential consequences of such restrictions include capital requirements to modify assets used to meet GHG restriction 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.

CHEMICAL SECURITY

The Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") issued the final rule of their "Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standard" in 2007. The initial phase of the rule required all chemical facilities in the U.S. to evaluate their facilities against the DHS Appendix A list of "Chemicals of Interest." Facilities which have specified chemicals in designated quantities on the Appendix A list were required to submit a "Top Screen" to DHS in 2008. A Top Screen is a questionnaire completed by a facility having Chemicals of Interest in designated threshold quantities. In early 2008, we submitted Top Screens for several of our facilities. After reviewing the Top Screens, DHS determined that some of our sites were "High Risk" facilities. As a result, we were required to perform Security Vulnerability Assessments ("SVAs") at the High Risk sites. The SVAs were completed and sent to DHS during the fourth quarter of 2008. We are currently awaiting the final risk ranking from the DHS, based on their assessment of the SVAs. Any of the sites which are still considered High Risk after the DHS assessment will be required to develop site security plans based on a list of DHS risk-based performance standards. We are unable to determine the cost of security enhancements at our High Risk sites until the site security plans are developed. We anticipate this phase of the rule to be completed by mid-2009. Additionally, on November 26, 2008, the Transportation Safety Administration of the DHS published a final rule regarding "rail security sensitive materials" that are received at or shipped from facilities. We have two sites that are subject to this new rule, but at this time do not anticipate that the costs to comply will be material.

MTBE DEVELOPMENTS

We produce MTBE, an oxygenate that is blended with gasoline to reduce vehicle air emissions and to enhance the octane rating of gasoline. Litigation or legislative initiatives restricting the use of MTBE in gasoline may subject us or our products to environmental liability or materially adversely affect our sales and costs. Because MTBE has contaminated some water supplies, its use has become controversial in the U.S. and elsewhere, and its use has been effectively eliminated in the U.S. market. We currently market MTBE, either directly or through third parties, to gasoline additive customers located outside the U.S., although there are additional costs associated with such outside-U.S. sales which may result in decreased profitability compared to historical sales in the U.S. We may also elect to use all or a portion of our precursor tertiary butyl alcohol to produce saleable products other than MTBE. If we opt to produce products other than MTBE, necessary modifications to our facilities will require significant capital expenditures and the sale of such other products may produce a lower level of cash flow than that historically produced from the sale of MTBE.

Numerous companies, including refiners, manufacturers and sellers of gasoline, as well as manufacturers of MTBE, have been named as defendants in more than 150 cases in U.S. courts that allege MTBE contamination in groundwater. Many of these cases were settled after the parties engaged in mediation supervised by a court-appointed special settlement master. Beginning in March 2007 and continuing through March 31, 2009, we have been named as a defendant in 16 of these lawsuits, and an additional suit dismissed by the federal court could be re-filed in state court. For more information, see "Note 14. Commitment and Contingencies—Legal Matters—MTBE Litigation." The plaintiffs in the MTBE groundwater contamination cases generally seek compensatory damages, punitive damages,

injunctive relief, such as monitoring and abatement, and attorney fees. We currently have insufficient information to meaningfully assess our potential exposure in these cases. We believe that some of our liability in these cases, if any, is likely covered by insurance and/or indemnity agreements with prior owners. It is possible that we could be named as a defendant in additional existing or future MTBE contamination cases. We cannot provide assurances that adverse results against us in existing or future MTBE contamination cases will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

16. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

Under the Huntsman Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan"), a plan approved by stockholders, we may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, phantom stock, performance awards and other stock-based awards to our employees and directors and to employees and directors 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. We were authorized to grant up to 21,590,909 shares under the Stock Incentive Plan. As of March 31, 2009, we had 1,915,371 shares remaining under the Stock Incentive Plan available for grant. Option awards have a maximum contractual term of 10 years and generally must have an exercise price at least equal to the market price of our common stock on the date the option award is granted. Stock-based awards generally vest over a three-year period.

The compensation cost for the three months ended March 31, 2009 for the Stock Incentive Plan was $5 million and $1 million for our company and Huntsman International, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the compensation cost for the Stock Incentive Plan was $6 million each for us and Huntsman International. The total income tax benefit recognized in the statements of operations for us and Huntsman International for stock-based compensation arrangements was $2 million each for each of the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

STOCK OPTIONS

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock through the grant date. The expected term of options granted was estimated based on the contractual term of the instruments and employees' expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate for periods

NONVESTED SHARES

Nonvested shares granted under the Stock Incentive Plan consist of restricted stock, which is accounted for as an equity award, and phantom stock, which is accounted for as a liability award because it can be settled in either stock or cash. A summary of the status of our nonvested shares as of March 31, 2009 and changes during the three months then ended is presented below:

	Equity Awards					Liability Awards

	Shares			Weighted Average Grant- Date Fair Value		Shares			Weighted Average Grant- Date Fair Value

(1): As of March 31, 2009, a total of 263,399 restricted stock units were vested, of which 249,233 vested during the three months ended March 31, 2009. These shares have not been reflected as vested shares in this table because, in accordance with the restricted stock unit agreements, shares of common stock are not issued for vested restricted stock units until termination of employment.

As of March 31, 2009, 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 2.7 years. The value of share awards that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $11 million and $13 million, respectively.

17. CASUALTY LOSSES AND INSURANCE RECOVERIES

PORT ARTHUR, TEXAS PLANT FIRE

On April 29, 2006, our Port Arthur, Texas olefins manufacturing plant (which we sold in November 2007) experienced a major fire. With the exception of cyclohexane operations at the site, which were restarted in June 2006, the operations at the site were shutdown until the fourth quarter of 2007. The Port Arthur manufacturing plant is covered by property damage and business interruption insurance. With respect to coverage for this outage, the deductible for property damage is $10 million and business interruption coverage does not apply for the first 60 days, subject to a combined deductible for property damage and business interruption of $60 million.

Through March 31, 2009, we received partial recovery advances on this loss totaling $365 million. We have claimed an additional approximately $243 million as of March 31, 2009 as presently due and owing and unpaid under the insurance policy for losses caused by the fire. On December 29, 2008, we reached a partial settlement with certain of the Reinsurers whereby we received a partial claim

reimbursement of $40 million (which is included in the total partial recovery advances of $365 million) and we and the Reinsurers agreed to dismiss all legal suits arising from this insured loss and to participate in non-binding mediation in February 2009. Because the non-binding mediation was not successful, we and the Reinsurers will participate in binding arbitration targeted to occur in the latter half of 2009. Future collections on this insured loss, if any, will represent additional income for us upon final settlement and will be used to repay secured debt in accordance with relevant provisions of our debt agreements. For more information, see "Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies—Port Arthur Plant Fire Insurance Litigation."

18. EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE MERGER AND RELATED LITIGATION

On July 12, 2007, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Hexion. On June 18, 2008, Hexion, Apollo and certain of their affiliates filed an action in Delaware Chancery Court seeking to terminate the Merger. We countersued Hexion and Apollo in the Delaware Chancery Court and filed a separate action against Apollo and certain of its affiliates in the District Court of Montgomery County, Texas. On December 13, 2008, we terminated the Merger Agreement and, on December 14, 2008, we entered into the Settlement Agreement with Hexion, Apollo and certain of their affiliates to settle the Merger-related litigation and certain other related matters. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Hexion and certain Apollo affiliates have paid us an aggregate amount of $1 billion.

Expenses associated with the Merger and related litigation incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $7 million related principally to legal fees incurred in connection with the Texas Bank Litigation. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we incurred $5 million of expenses associated with the Merger related primarily to professional fees and board of directors fees. For more information regarding the Texas Bank Litigation, see "Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies—Texas Bank Litigation."

19. 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 each period on a tax jurisdictional 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. As of March 31, 2009, we established a valuation allowance of $146 million on our U.K. net deferred tax assets, primarily as a result of a recent history of operating results that became a cumulative loss in the current period.

On April 12, 2007, we received a Revenue Agent Report from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") related to the examination of our federal income tax returns for the years 2002 through 2004. The IRS initially proposed a decrease to our net operating losses of approximately $387 million related to transactions completed in 2002. However, on January 5, 2008, we were notified by the IRS that no adjustment would be made to our net operating loss for this disputed item. As a result of the

settlement of this audit cycle and the effective settlement of two uncertain tax positions in other countries, during the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding income tax benefit of approximately $18 million.

HUNTSMAN CORPORATION

We recorded a valuation allowance of $146 million as of March 31, 2009 against the net deferred tax assets in the U.K. We recorded a discrete tax benefit of $18 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 due to a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits for the effective settlement of examinations. Excluding these items, we recorded an income tax benefit of $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and income tax expense of $22 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in income tax expense, exclusive of the discrete items, was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax earnings including amounts in jurisdictions where we do not record a tax benefit due to valuation allowances.

HUNTSMAN INTERNATIONAL

Huntsman International recorded a valuation allowance of $156 million as of March 31, 2009 against the net deferred tax assets in the U.K. Huntsman International recorded a discrete tax benefit of $18 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 due to a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits for the effective settlement of examinations. Excluding these items, Huntsman International recorded an income tax benefit of $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and income tax expense of $24 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in income tax expense, exclusive of the discrete items, was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax earnings including amounts in jurisdictions where we do not record a tax benefit due to valuation allowances.

20. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On November 5, 2007, we completed the sale of our former U.S. base chemicals business (the "U.S. Base Chemicals Disposition"). This disposition included our former olefins manufacturing assets located at Port Arthur, Texas. The captive ethylene unit at the retained Port Neches, Texas site of our former Performance Products segment operations was not included in the sale. This asset, along with a long-term post-closing arrangement for the supply of ethylene and propylene from Flint Hills Resources to us, will continue to provide feedstock for our downstream derivative units. The EBITDA of the former U.S. base chemicals business was reported in our former Base Chemicals segment and has been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited).

On August 1, 2007 we completed the sale of our former North American polymers business assets (the "North American Polymers Disposition"). The disposition included our former polymers manufacturing assets located at four U.S. sites: Odessa and Longview, Texas; Peru, Illinois; and Marysville, Michigan. In accordance with the amended and restated asset purchase agreement with Flint Hills Resources, we also shut down our Mansonville, Quebec expandable polystyrene manufacturing facility in June 2007. The EBITDA of the North American polymers business was

reported in our former Polymers segment and has been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited).

On December 29, 2006, we completed the sale of our European base chemicals business. This transaction involved the sale of the outstanding equity interests of Huntsman Petrochemicals (UK) Limited. The EBITDA of our former European base chemicals business was reported in our former Base Chemicals segment and has been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited).

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recorded after tax income from discontinued operations of $3 million related primarily to the revaluation of outstanding product exchange liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded an after-tax loss from discontinued operations of $1 million related principally to a pension levy at our former European base chemicals business, $1 million of post-closing adjustments to the loss recorded on the U.S. Base Chemicals Disposition, and a net $1 million of income from an insurance recovery on our former North American polymers business.

21. NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE

Basic (loss) income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share reflects potential dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive units had been exercised or converted. On December 23, 2008, we issued the Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $250 million that are convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $7.857 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. On February 16, 2008, our previously outstanding mandatory convertible preferred stock converted into 12,082,475 shares of our common stock.

21. NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE (Continued)

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

		Three Months Ended March 31,

		2009			2008
Numerator:
Basic and diluted (loss) income from continuing operations:
(Loss) income from continuing operations attributable to Huntsman Corporation		$	(293	)	$	8
Convertible notes interest expense, net of tax			—			—

(Loss) income from continuing operations attributable to Huntsman Corporation and assumed conversion		$	(293	)	$	8

Basic and diluted net (loss) income:
Net (loss) income attributable to Huntsman Corporation		$	(290	)	$	7
Convertible notes interest expense, net of tax			—			—

Net (loss) income attributable to Huntsman Corporation and assumed conversion		$	(290	)	$	7

Shares (denominator):
Weighted average shares outstanding			233,706,663			227,069,575
Dilutive securities:
	Stock-based awards		—			530,765
	Convertible notes conversion		—			—
	Preferred stock conversion		—			6,240,399

Total dilutive shares outstanding assuming conversion			233,706,663			233,840,739

Additional stock-based awards of 10,793,708 and 2,417,673 weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In addition, the convertible notes would have converted into 31,818,750 shares of common stock and interest expense, net of tax, of $5 million would have been included as an adjustment to the numerator of the diluted (loss) income per share calculation. However, these stock-based awards and the assumed conversion of the convertible notes were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

22. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

We derive our revenues, earnings and cash flows from the manufacture and sale of a wide variety of differentiated and commodity chemical products. During the first quarter of 2009, we reorganized our operating segments to divide our former Materials and Effects segment into two separate segments—our Advanced Materials segment and our Textile Effects segment. All segment information for prior periods has been restated to reflect this change. We have reported our operations through five segments: Polyurethanes, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects, Performance Products and Pigments. In a series of transactions completed in 2006 and 2007, we sold substantially all of our Polymers and Base

OVERVIEW

Business

We currently operate in five segments: Polyurethanes, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects, Performance Products and Pigments. Our Polyurethanes, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects and Performance Products segments produce differentiated organic chemical products and our Pigments segment produces inorganic chemical products. In a series of transactions completed in 2006 and 2007, we sold substantially all of our former Polymers and Base Chemicals operations. We report the results from these businesses as discontinued operations. For more information, see "Note 20. Discontinued Operations" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Senior Credit Facilities Waiver

On April 16, 2009, Huntsman International obtained the Waiver to the Credit Agreement governing our Senior Credit Facilities. Under the Waiver, a majority of the Revolving Facility lenders agreed to conditionally waive Huntsman International's compliance with its sole financial covenant, the Leverage Covenant (a senior secured leverage ratio covenant calculated by dividing senior secured debt by EBITDA as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Waiver is effective from April 16, 2009 through June 30, 2010. For more information, see our current report on Form 8-K filed on April 16, 2009 and "Note 7. Debt—Transactions Affecting our Debt—Senior Credit Facilities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report.

(1): EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income attributable to Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International LLC, as appropriate, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA enhances an investor's understanding of our financial performance and our ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations with respect to our indebtedness. However, EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for net income, cash flow from operations or other measures of performance as defined by GAAP. Moreover, EBITDA as

Table of Contents

used herein is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. Our management uses EBITDA to assess financial performance and debt service capabilities. In assessing financial performance, our management reviews EBITDA as a general indicator of economic performance compared with prior periods. Because EBITDA excludes interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, EBITDA provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by debt restructurings, fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, or levels of depreciation and amortization. Accordingly, our management believes this type of measurement is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period and making certain related management decisions. EBITDA is also used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of different companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be highly dependent on a company's capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Therefore, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. In addition, the tax positions of companies can vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the various jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and tax expense can vary considerably among companies. Finally, companies employ productive assets of different ages and utilize different methods of acquiring and depreciating such assets. This can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies. Our management also believes that our investors use EBITDA as a measure of our ability to service indebtedness as well as to fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Nevertheless, our management recognizes that there are material limitations associated with the use of EBITDA in the evaluation of our Company as compared to net income, which reflects overall financial performance, including the effects of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA excludes interest expense. Because we have borrowed money in order to finance our operations, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue. Therefore, any measure that excludes interest expense has material limitations. EBITDA also excludes taxes. Because the payment of taxes is a necessary element of our operations, any measure that excludes tax expense has material limitations. Finally, EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization expense. Because we use capital assets, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue. Therefore, any measure that excludes depreciation and amortization expense has material limitations. Our management compensates for the limitations of using EBITDA by using it to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business rather than GAAP results alone. Our management also uses other metrics to evaluate capital structure, tax planning and capital investment decisions. For example, our management uses credit ratings and net debt ratios to evaluate capital structure, effective tax rate by jurisdiction to evaluate tax planning, and payback period and internal rate of return to evaluate capital investments. Our management also uses trade working capital to evaluate its investment in accounts receivable and inventory, net of accounts payable.

We believe that net (loss) income is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to EBITDA and that cash provided by operating activities is the liquidity measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to EBITDA.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2008

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the net loss attributable to Huntsman Corporation was $290 million on revenues of $1,693 million, compared with net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation of $7 million on revenues of $2,540 million for the 2008 period. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the net loss attributable to Huntsman International LLC was $281 million on revenues of $1,693 million, compared with net income attributable to Huntsman International LLC of $12 million on revenues of $2,540 million for the 2008 period. The decrease of $297 million in net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation and the decrease of $293 million in net income attributable to Huntsman International LLC was the result of the following items:

•: Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased by $847 million, or 33%, as compared with the 2008 period due principally to lower sales volumes and lower average selling prices in all of our segments. For more information, see "—Segment Analysis" below.
•: Our gross profit and the gross profit of Huntsman International for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased by $222 million and $221 million, respectively, or 60% each, as compared with the 2008 period. Lower gross profit in our Polyurethanes, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects and Pigments segments was offset somewhat by higher gross profit in our Performance Products segment. For more information, see "—Segment Analysis" below.
•: Our operating expenses and the operating expenses of Huntsman International for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased by $51 million and $58 million, or 18% and 21%, respectively, as compared with the 2008 period. The decrease partially resulted from a $19 million increase in foreign exchange gains ($9 million of gains in the 2009 period as compared with $10 million of losses in the 2008 period). The decrease in operating expenses

Table of Contents

also resulted from lower overall selling, general and administrative costs. Selling, general and administrative costs decreased primarily as a result of translating foreign currency amounts to the U.S. dollar, as the U.S. dollar strengthened versus other relevant currencies.

•: Restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased to $14 million from $4 million in the 2008 period. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 5. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report.
•: Our net interest expense and the net interest expense of Huntsman International for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased by $10 million each, or 15%, as compared with the 2008 period. This decrease was primarily due to lower average interest rates on borrowings.
•: Expenses related to the Merger and related litigation consisted primarily of litigation-related professional fees in 2009 and Merger-related professional fees and board of directors' fees in 2008. For more information regarding these Merger and related litigation expenses, see "Note 18. Expenses Associated with the Merger and Related Litigation" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report.
•: Our income tax expense and Huntsman International's income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased by $134 million and $140 million, respectively, as compared with the same period in 2008. Our and Huntsman International's income tax obligations are affected by the mix of income and losses in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we and Huntsman International recorded a valuation allowance of $146 million and $156 million, respectively, against the net deferred tax assets in the U.K. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we and Huntsman International recorded a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits for the effective settlement of examinations with a corresponding income tax benefit of $18 million each. For further information concerning taxes, see "Note 19. Income Taxes" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report.
•: During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recorded after tax income from discontinued operations of $3 million related primarily to the revaluation of outstanding product exchange liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded an after tax loss from discontinued operations of $1 million related principally to a pension levy at our former European base chemicals business, $1 million of post-closing adjustments to the loss recorded on the U.S. Base Chemicals Disposition, and a net $1 million of income from an insurance recovery on our former North American polymers business. For more information, see "Note 20. Discontinued Operations" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report.

Polyurethanes

The decrease in revenues in the Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily due to lower MDI sales volumes and overall lower average selling prices. MDI sales volumes decreased primarily due to lower demand in all regions and across all major markets as a result of the worldwide economic slowdown. MDI average selling prices decreased primarily due to competitive pressures, lower raw material costs and the strength of the U.S. dollar against major European currencies. PO and MTBE sales volumes increased due to stronger demand, while average selling prices decreased with lower raw material costs. The decrease in EBITDA in the Polyurethanes segment was primarily the result of lower MDI sales volumes and margins, partially offset by lower general and administrative costs.

Advanced Materials

The decrease in revenues in the Advanced Materials segment for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 was due to lower sales volumes and lower average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to lower demand in all regions and across all major markets as a result of the worldwide economic slowdown. Average selling prices decreased primarily as a result of increased competition in our base resins market and the strength of the U.S. dollar against major European currencies. The decrease in EBITDA was primarily due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by lower raw material and fixed costs.

Textile Effects

The decrease in revenues in the Textile Effects segment for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 was due to lower sales volumes and lower average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to lower demand for apparel and home textile products, as well as specialty textiles products, in all regions as a result of the worldwide economic slowdown. Average selling prices decreased primarily as a result of the strength of the U.S. dollar against relevant currencies, as local currency selling prices were higher in Asia and the Americas. The decrease in EBITDA was primarily due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by lower raw material and fixed costs.

Performance Products

The decrease in revenues in the Performance Products segment for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 was due to a decrease in both average selling prices and sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased in response to lower raw material costs. Sales volumes decreased across most product lines primarily due to the worldwide economic slowdown. The increase in EBITDA in the Performance Products segment was mainly due to higher contribution margins resulting from lower raw material costs. Also, in the 2008 period, EBITDA was negatively impacted by an extended turnaround and inspection at our Port Neches, Texas facility.

Pigments

The decrease in revenues in the Pigments segment for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 was due to lower sales volumes and lower average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to lower demand in all regions as a result of the worldwide economic slowdown. Average selling prices decreased primarily as a result of the strength of the U.S. dollar against major European currencies, as local currency selling prices were higher. The decrease in EBITDA in the Pigments segment was primarily due to lower sales volumes and higher restructuring and plant closing costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, our Pigments segment recorded restructuring and plant closing charges of $13 million and $1 million, respectively.

Corporate and Other—Huntsman Corporation

Corporate and Other includes the results of our Australia styrenics business, unallocated foreign exchange gains and losses, unallocated corporate overhead, loss on accounts receivable securitization program, expenses associated with the Merger and related litigation, income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, unallocated restructuring costs, gain and loss on the disposition of assets and non-operating income and expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the total of these items was a loss of $51 million compared to a loss of $63 million in the 2008 period. The increase in EBITDA from Corporate and Other for the three months ended March 31, 2009 resulted primarily from an $8 million increase in income attributable to noncontrolling interests and a $6 million increase in unallocated foreign exchange gains ($2 million in gains in the 2009 period versus $4 million in losses in the 2008 period). The increase to EBITDA was partially offset by a $2 million increase in expenses associated with the Merger and related litigation ($7 million in the 2009 period compared to $5 million in the 2008 period). For more information regarding expenses associated with the Merger and related litigation, see "Note 18. Expenses Associated with the Merger and Related Litigation" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report.

Corporate and Other—Huntsman International

Corporate and Other includes the results of our Australia styrenics business, unallocated foreign exchange gains and losses, unallocated corporate overhead, loss on accounts receivable securitization program, income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, unallocated restructuring costs, gain and loss on the disposition of assets and non-operating income and expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the total of these items was a loss of $40 million compared to a loss of $61 million in the 2008 period. The increase in EBITDA from Corporate and Other for the three months ended March 31, 2009 resulted primarily from an $8 million increase in income attributable to noncontrolling interests, a $6 million increase in unallocated foreign exchange gains ($2 million in gains in the 2009 period versus $4 million in losses in the 2008 period) and a $5 million decrease in administrative fees charged to Huntsman International from Huntsman Corporation.

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 used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $38 million and $10 million, respectively. The increase in cash used in operations was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating income as described in "—Results of Operations" above, offset in part by a $111 million favorable variance in operating assets and liabilities changes for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared with the same period in 2008.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $62 million and $130 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we paid $61 million and $109 million, respectively, for capital expenditures. This reduction of $48 million in capital expenditures is largely attributable to higher 2008 spending on various projects,

Table of Contents

including the maleic anhydride expansion at our Geismar, Louisiana site, as well as the expansion at our Greatham, U.K. titanium dioxide facility.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $84 million as compared with $149 million of net cash provided by financing activities in the 2008 period. This increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to higher net repayments of debt in the 2009 period as compared to the 2008 period. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we utilized excess cash to keep our borrowings under the Revolving Facility at zero.

Changes in Financial Condition

The following information summarizes our working capital position (dollars in millions):

	March 31, 2009		December 31, 2008		Decrease

Working capital	$	1,480	$	1,635	$	(155	)	(9	)%

Our working capital decreased by $155 million as a result of the net impact of the following significant changes:

•: The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $187 million resulted from the matters identified in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report.
•: Accounts receivable decreased by $86 million mainly due to lower sales, partially offset by lower outstandings under the A/R Securitization Program.

Table of Contents

•: Inventories decreased by $167 million mainly due to lower inventory quantities resulting from lower production to match reduced demand due to the worldwide economic weakness and from lower inventory costs.
•: The decrease in accounts payable of $163 million was primarily due to lower inventory costs.
•: Accrued liabilities decreased by $92 million principally due to fees paid in connection with the Merger as well as a reduction in accrued rebates.
•: Current portion of debt decreased by $44 million primarily as a result of decreased borrowings in Asia and Australia.

Direct and Subsidiary Debt

Our direct debt and guarantee obligations consist of our Convertible Notes, guarantees of certain debt of HPS and SLIC, our Chinese MDI joint ventures, guarantees of certain debt of our Saudi Joint Venture and certain indebtedness incurred from time to time to finance certain insurance premiums. We have no other direct debt or guarantee obligations, and all of the additional debt discussed below has been incurred by our subsidiaries (primarily Huntsman International); such subsidiary debt is nonrecourse to us and we have no contractual obligation to fund our subsidiaries' respective operations.

Transactions Affecting our Senior Credit Facilities

As of March 31, 2009, our Senior Credit Facilities consisted of (i) a $650 million Revolving Facility and (ii) a $1,524 million Dollar Term Loan. As of March 31, 2009, we had no borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Facility, and we had approximately $31 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit and bank guarantees issued and outstanding under our Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility matures in August 2010 and the Dollar Term Loan matures in 2014; provided, however, that the maturities of the Revolving Facility and the Dollar Term Loan will accelerate if we do not repay or refinance all but $100 million of our outstanding debt securities on or before three months prior to the maturity dates of such debt securities (the next maturity date of such debt securities is October 15, 2010).

•: by permitting us to add back to "Consolidated EBITDA" any lost profits that are attributable to Hurricanes Gustav and Ike that occurred in 2008 (such amounts being $49 million and $18 million for the third and fourth quarters, respectively, in 2008); and
•: by modifying the definition of "Permitted Non-Cash Impairment and Restructuring Charges" by replacing a reference to $100 million with $200 million for permitted cash charges to be added back to "Consolidated EBITDA".

As consideration for the Waiver, Huntsman International agreed to increase the interest paid on the Revolving Facility by 225 basis points from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 4.00% and to

Table of Contents

increase the applicable unused fee by 25 basis points from 0.50% to 0.75%. In addition, during the Wavier period, Huntsman International agreed as follows:

•: to not request a borrowing under the Revolving Facility during the next succeeding fiscal quarter if compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio, as agreed to in the Waiver, is not met in any fiscal quarter;
•: to not repay or make any payment of principal or interest under the Intercompany Note if there are outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility or to reduce the principal amount outstanding under the Intercompany Note to less than $525 million; and
•: to not make any restricted payments in an aggregate amount greater than the sum of $100 million plus "Available Equity Proceeds" received by Huntsman International.

COMPLIANCE WITH COVENANTS

Short-Term and Long-Term Liquidity

We depend upon our cash, credit facilities and other debt instruments to provide liquidity for our operations and working capital needs. As of March 31, 2009, we had $1,115 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity, consisting of $473 million in cash and restricted cash, $619 million in availability under our Revolving Facility, $8 million attributable to our European overdraft facility and $15 million in availability under our A/R Securitization Program.

Our liquidity can be significantly impacted by various factors. Concerning changes in working capital components, for the three months ended March 31, 2009, our accounts receivable and inventory, net of accounts payable, decreased by approximately $58 million, as reflected in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2009, amounts outstanding under our A/R Securitization Program decreased by $118 million (from $446 million as of December 31, 2008 to $328 million as of March 31, 2009). These changes in working capital components and the A/R Securitization Program were a result of various factors such market demand, changes in foreign currencies, seasonality, global economic weakness, and the effects of such factors on sales prices and inventory costs.

We expect volatility in our working capital components to continue in 2009. We have implemented, and plan to implement, various restructuring programs under which we expect to spend approximately $125 million through 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we spent $14 million related to current restructuring initiatives. For a discussion of restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs, see "Note 5. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report.

Table of Contents

We currently have $161 million classified as current portion of debt. For more information see "Note 7. Debt" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report. As of March 31, 2009, our current portion of debt includes various short term facilities, including but not limited to our HPS draft discounting facility in China that had amounts outstanding of $47 million, our Australian credit facilities of $30 million and our insurance premium financings of $11 million. Although we can make no assurances, we currently intend to extend or renew these debt instruments beyond their stated maturities.

On April 29, 2006, we experienced fire damage at our Port Arthur, Texas facility. This facility has been subsequently rebuilt and sold. In connection with this fire damage, we have received partial insurance proceeds to date of $365 million. We have claimed an additional approximately $243 million as of March 31, 2009 as presently due and owing and unpaid under our insurance policies. Binding arbitration to settle this claim is targeted to occur in the latter half of 2009. Collections on this insured loss, if any, will represent additional income for us upon final settlement, and will be used to repay secured debt in accordance with relevant provisions of our debt agreements. See "Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies—Port Arthur Plant Fire Insurance Litigation" and "Note 17. Casualty Losses and Insurance Recoveries—Port Arthur, Texas Plant Fire" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report.

During the first half of 2009, we expect to complete our acquisition of the Baroda division of MCIL, subject to certain conditions being met. We estimate the purchase price, including certain working capital positions, to be approximately $29 million (U.S. dollar equivalents), pursuant to a non-binding agreement in principle between MCIL and our Company. This purchase price excludes from working capital the receivables existing on the closing date due to MCIL from our affiliates, which will be settled in the ordinary course. We anticipate that the majority of the purchase price will be funded through local financing. See "Note 3. Business Combinations" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report.

As of March 31, 2009, the amount outstanding under our A/R Securitization Program was $328 million compared with $446 million at December 31, 2008. Because of various factors such as market demand, lower pricing and changes in foreign currency rates, the underlying effective capacity of the program has declined. This program was amended in November 2008 and was extended through November 12, 2009. We have already begun discussions with the program providers to extend this program beyond its current maturity. This facility fluctuates in capacity depending on the program's eligible receivables base which is influenced by such factors as market demand, pricing and foreign currency rates. Although we can make no assurances, we intend to extend the A/R Securitization Program beyond its stated term. See "Note 9. Securitization of Accounts Receivable" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report.

We continue to incur costs associated with the Texas Bank Litigation. Any settlement of or judgment in the Texas Bank Litigation may impact our liquidity. For more information, see "Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies—Texas Bank Litigation" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we made contributions to our pension and postretirement benefit plans of $30 million. During the remainder of 2009, we expect to contribute an additional amount of $90 million to these plans.

Capital Expenditures

We incurred capital expenditures of $61 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared with $109 million in the 2008 period. This decrease of $48 million is largely attributable to higher 2008 spending on various projects including the maleic anhydride expansion at our Geismar, Louisiana site, as well as the expansion at our Greatham, U.K. titanium dioxide facility.

Table of Contents

We expect to finance our capital expenditure commitments through a combination of cash flows from operations and financing arrangements. We expect to spend, in total, approximately $230 million on capital projects in 2009.

Receivables Securitization

For a discussion of our A/R Securitization Program, see "Note 9. Securitization of Accounts Receivable" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report.

Guarantees

On September 19, 2003, SLIC obtained secured financing for the construction of production facilities. SLIC obtained various committed loans in the aggregate amount of approximately $230 million (U.S. dollar equivalents). As of March 31, 2009, there were $68 million and RMB 840 million (approximately $123 million) in outstanding borrowings under these facilities. The interest rate on these facilities is LIBOR plus 0.48% for U.S. dollar borrowings and 90% of the Peoples Bank of China rate for RMB borrowings. The loans are secured by substantially all the assets of SLIC and will be paid in 16 semiannual installments (of which 12 installments remain), which began on June 30, 2007. We unconditionally guarantee 35% of any amounts due and unpaid by SLIC under the loans described above (except for the VAT facility which is not guaranteed). Our guarantee remains in effect until SLIC has met certain conditions. The conditions outstanding include completion of the building and equipment mortgage registrations, which are progressing as planned, and maintaining a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1:1 at the time such registrations are completed. We have estimated that the fair value of this guarantee is nil as of the closing of the transaction and, accordingly, no amounts have been recorded.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

On January 15, 2008, we entered into a series of forward foreign currency contracts in our Pigments segment to partially hedge the impact, for up to one year, of movements in foreign currency rates associated with the purchases of raw materials and sales of pigment in non-functional currencies. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, any remaining contracts matured and the realized gains (losses) recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report were not considered significant. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the effective portion of the changes in fair value of $2 million was recorded in other comprehensive income.

On October 24, 2008, we unwound a cross currency interest rate swap pursuant to which we swapped $153 million of LIBOR floating rate debt payments for €116 million of EURIBOR floating rate debt payments. This swap was not designated as a hedge for financial reporting purposes. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded a foreign currency loss on this swap of $14 million in the condensed consolidated statement of operations (unaudited).

Table of Contents

As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2009, the changes in fair value of the realized gains (losses) recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited) included elsewhere in this report of our other outstanding foreign currency rate hedging contracts and derivatives were not considered significant.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of March 31, 2009. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2009, 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 three months ended March 31, 2009 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

On occasion, we receive notices of violation, enforcement or other complaints from regulatory agencies alleging non-compliance with applicable EHS laws. Based on currently available information and our past experience, we do not believe that the resolution of any pending or threatened environmental enforcement proceedings will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2007, our operation in Wilton, U.K., allegedly caused a discharge of wastewater effluent to be made to Northumbrian Water's Bran Sands treatment facility that contained elevated levels of nitrobenzene. Northumbrian Water alleges that this discharge caused a disruption of its treatment facility which, in turn, exceeded its discharge consent from the U.K. Environmental Agency. The Environmental Agency is investigating a possible prosecution against Northumbrian Water and/or us for the breach. Northumbrian Water has threatened to prosecute our subsidiary in the U.K. To date, however, no charges have been filed.

By letter dated November 26, 2008, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") combined the alleged air emission-related violations and proposed penalties associated with two previously issued draft orders for our Port Neches, Texas facility. The proposed penalty for the combined order is $120,000. However, we entered into an expedited penalty settlement of $100,000, half of which will be paid through a Supplemental Environmental Project agreed to with the agency. This order has been approved by the TCEQ commissioners and we consider this matter now resolved.
