Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
To be held May 5, 2011
 
Dear Shareholders:
     This proxy statement supplement is furnished to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the 2011 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of LyondellBasell Industries N.V. to be held at the Company’s offices at Weena 737, 3013 AM, Rotterdam, The Netherlands, at 1:00 p.m., local time, on Thursday, May 5, 2011, for purposes set forth in the proxy statement mailed to you on or about March 25, 2011.
     After mailing our proxy statement, it came to our attention that the proxy card included with the proxy statement inadvertently omitted the proposal to elect Mr. Robert G. Gwin as a Class II director. All of the proposals and the information relating to such proposals, including the election of Mr. Gwin, were correctly set forth in the proxy statement previously mailed to shareholders and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     An amended proxy card that includes the proposal to elect Mr. Gwin is enclosed. Our receipt of your new proxy or voting instructions will revoke and supersede any proxy or voting instructions previously submitted by you. Properly executed proxies that do not contain voting instructions for any item will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Supervisory Board.
     Your vote is important. We encourage you to review the proxy materials previously provided to you and hope you will vote as soon as possible. You may vote by proxy over the Internet or by telephone by using the instructions provided in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. If you received paper copies of the proxy materials by mail, you can vote by mail by following the instructions on the proxy card. Voting over the Internet, by telephone or by written proxy will ensure your representation regardless of whether you attend in person. Instructions regarding the three methods of voting are contained in the Notice of Internet Availability or proxy card. If you are a shareholder of record as of April 7, 2011 and have already voted and do not submit new voting instructions, your previously submitted proxy or voting instruction will be voted at the Annual General Meeting with respect to all proposals but will not be counted in determining the outcome of the election of Mr. Gwin to the Supervisory Board.
     This proxy statement supplement will be mailed to shareholders on or about April 18, 2011.
Sincerely,
/s/ Craig B. Glidden
Craig B. Glidden
Secretary
