*Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers*

On May 5, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Huntsman Corporation (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, acted to set the size of the Board at nine directors. On the same date, also upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board appointed Mary C. Beckerle, Ph.D., as a director. Dr. Beckerle, age 56, was appointed to fill the vacancy created by the departure of Marsha J. Evans from the Board and will serve as a Class I director for a term that expires at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Board has determined, after applying the Company’s independence criteria, that Dr. Beckerle is an independent director. Dr. Beckerle has been appointed to serve on the Company’s Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board. Dr. Beckerle was not selected as a director pursuant to any arrangements or understandings with the Company or with any other person and there are no transactions between Dr. Beckerle and the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Dr. Beckerle will be compensated for her service on the Board on the same basis as each of the Company’s other non-employee directors. Annual compensation for non-employee directors is comprised of cash and stock-based equity compensation. The cash compensation consists of an annual retainer and supplemental retainers for the chairs and members of Board committees. Stock-based equity compensation consists of stock or stock units. Directors may participate in the Huntsman Corporation Stock Incentive Plan and the Huntsman Outside Director Elective Deferral Plan.

A more detailed description of compensation of directors of the Company was previously reported in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2011, and is incorporated herein by reference.
