As of AprilÌý1, 2015, we no longer exercise significant influence in our investment in Nippon AquaÌýCo.,ÌýLtd., for which we previously accounted using the equity method. Consequently, we now account for this investment at fair value as an available-for-sale equity security. See "NoteÌý16. Fair Value."

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýIn November 2012, we entered into an agreement to formÌýa joint venture with Sinopec (Nanjing Jingling). The joint venture involves the construction and operation of a PO/MTBE facility in China. Under the joint venture agreement, we hold a 49% interest in the joint venture and Sinopec holds a 51% interest. Our total equity investment is anticipated to be approximately $85Ìýmillion, net of license fees from the joint venture. At the end of 2015, cumulative capital contributions were approximately $85Ìýmillion, net of license fees from the joint venture. Construction on the project is expected to be completed in the second half of 2016, with start-up expected in the first half of 2017.
