Rolle, Switzerland and Ludwigshafen, Germany, June 30, 2014 - INEOS will
acquire BASF's 50% share in Styrolution, a joint venture between the
companies. The agreement was concluded by INEOS and BASF today. The
purchase price to be paid by INEOS amounts to EUR1.1 billion. A call option
in favor of INEOS to buy BASF's share in Styrolution was already included
in the shareholders' agreement signed in 2011.

until the completion of the deal, which is expected in the fourth quarter
of 2014.
