DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

We are a global manufacturer of differentiated organic chemical products. Our products comprise a broad range of chemicals and formulations, which we market globally to a diversified group of consumer and industrial customers. Our products are used in a wide range of applications, including those in the adhesives, aerospace, automotive, construction products, personal care and hygiene, durable and non-durable consumer products, digital inks, electronics, medical, packaging, coatings and construction, power generation, refining, synthetic fiber, textile chemicals and dyes industries. We are a leading global producer in many of our key product lines, including MDI, amines, surfactants, maleic anhydride, epoxy-based polymer formulations, textile chemicals and dyes.

We operate in four segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects. In August 2017, we separated our Titanium Dioxide and Performance Additives business (the 鈥淧&A Business鈥�) through an initial public offering (鈥淚PO鈥�) of ordinary shares of Venator Materials PLC (鈥淰enator鈥�), formerly our wholly-owned subsidiary (the 鈥淪eparation鈥�). Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, we reported the results of the former P&A Business as discontinued operations. See 鈥淣ote 4. Discontinued Operations.鈥� In a series of transactions beginning in 2006, we sold or shut down substantially all of our Australian styrenics operations and our North American polymers and base chemicals operations. We also report the results of these businesses as discontinued operations.

COMPANY

Our Company, a Delaware corporation, was formed in 2004 to hold the 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 businesses. Jon听M. 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 founded the predecessor to our Company in 1970 as a small packaging company. Since then, we have grown through a series of acquisitions and now own a global portfolio of businesses.

Currently, we operate all of our businesses through 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 International, our wholly-owned subsidiary. 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 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 for both our Company and 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 International. The differences between our financial statements and 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 International鈥檚 financial statements relate primarily to the following:

purchase accounting recorded at our Company for the 2003 step鈥慳cquisition of 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 International Holdings听LLC, the former parent company of 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 International that was merged into 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 International in 2005;

the different capital structures; and

a note payable from 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 International to us.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. These reclassifications were to record the assets and liabilities as held for sale and results of operations of the former P&A Business to discontinued operations. See 鈥淣ote听4. Discontinued Operations.鈥� In connection with the separation of the P&A Business, certain entities were removed from the debt guarantor structure. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information included in 鈥淣ote 19. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information of 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 International LLC鈥� has been presented as if the new debt guarantor structure existed for all periods presented.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Separation of the P&A Business

In August 2017, we separated the P&A Business and conducted an IPO of ordinary shares of Venator, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站. All of such ordinary shares were sold by 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 and Venator did not receive any proceeds from the offering. Venator鈥檚 ordinary shares began trading on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbol 鈥淰NTR鈥� on August 3, 2017. 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 retains approximately 75% ownership in Venator. Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, we reported the results of operations of the P&A Business as discontinued operations. For more information, see 鈥淣ote 4. Discontinued Operations.鈥�

In August 2017, we made early prepayments of $1,207 million on our senior credit facilities (鈥淪enior Credit Facilities鈥�), of which $106 million was paid on our extended term loan B facility due 2015 (鈥�2015 Extended Term Loan B鈥�), 听$347 million was paid on our term loan B facility due 2021 (鈥�2021 Term Loan B鈥�), and $754 million was paid on our term loan B facility due 2023听(鈥�2023 Term Loan B鈥�). The funds used to pay down the debt included $732 million received from Venator ($750 million of debt raised by Venator net of $18 million of debt issuance costs), upon its payment of intercompany debt obligations owed to 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 and $475 million from proceeds of the Venator IPO. In connection with the $1,207 million prepayments of our term loans, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $34 million. See 鈥淣ote 7. Debt鈥擠irect and Subsidiary Debt鈥擲enior Credit Facilities.鈥�

Termination of 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 and Clariant Merger Agreement

As previously disclosed, on May 21, 2017, 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站, Clariant and Merger Sub entered into the Merger Agreement which contemplated that Merger Sub would be merged with and into 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站, with 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clariant. On October 26, 2017, 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站, Clariant and Merger Sub entered into the Termination Agreement, dated as of October 26, 2017, pursuant to which the parties mutually terminated the Merger Agreement. No fees are currently payable under the terms of the Termination Agreement. 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 and Clariant also agreed to release each other from certain claims and liabilities arising out of or related to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein or thereby.听听Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, each party agrees to bear its own costs, fees and expenses in connection with Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, except for specified joint filing fees and related expenses as set forth in the Merger Agreement.听During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred merger-related costs of $12 million, $18听million, nil and nil, respectively.

Debt Prepayment

In addition to the debt prepayments made in connection with the separation of our former P&A Business and the Venator IPO described above, on October 25, 2017, we made an early prepayment of $100 million on our 2023 Term Loan B from existing cash. See 鈥淣ote 7. Debt鈥擠irect and Subsidiary Debt鈥擲enior Credit Facilities.鈥�

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.
