7.ÌýÌýVARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

We evaluate our investments and transactions to identify variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. We hold a variable interest in the following joint ventures for which we are the primary beneficiary:

·

RubiconÌýLLCÌýÌýis our 50%-owned joint venture with Lanxess that manufactures products for our Polyurethanes and Performance Products segments. The structure of the joint venture is such that the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the joint venture to finance its activities without additional financial support. By virtue of the operating agreement with this joint venture, we purchase a majority of the output, absorb a majority of the operating costs and provide a majority of the additional funding.

·

AAC is our 50%-owned joint venture with Zamil group that manufactures products for our Performance Products segment. As required in the operating agreement governing this joint venture, we purchase all of AAC’s production and sell it to our customers. Substantially all of the joint venture’s activities are conducted on our behalf.

·

Sasol‑ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ is our 50%‑owned joint venture with Sasol that owns and operates a maleic anhydride facility in Moers, Germany. This joint venture manufactures products for our Performance Products segment. The joint venture uses our technology and expertise, and we bear a disproportionate amount of risk of loss due to a related‑party loan to Sasol‑ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ for which we bear the default risk.

Creditors of these entities have no recourse to our general credit. See “NoteÌý13. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt.â€� As the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities at DecemberÌý31, 2017, the joint venturesâ€� assets, liabilities and results of operations are included in our consolidated financial statements.
