HUNTSMAN INTERNATIONAL LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)

1. GENERAL (Continued)

COMPANY

Our Company, a Delaware corporation, was formed in 2004 to hold the Huntsman businesses. Jon M. Huntsman 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.

We operate all of our businesses through Huntsman International, our 100% owned subsidiary. Huntsman International is a Delaware limited liability company.

HUNTSMAN CORPORATION AND HUNTSMAN INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Except where otherwise indicated, these notes relate to the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for both our Company and Huntsman International. The differences between our financial statements and Huntsman International's financial statements relate primarily to the following:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) include the accounts of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and any variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated, except for intercompany sales between continuing and discontinued operations.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ADOPTED DURING 2012

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs , providing a consistent definition of fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as well as developing common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information

about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this ASU were effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted the amendments of this ASU effective January 1, 2012, and the initial adoption of the amendments in this ASU did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income , requiring entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity is eliminated. The amendments do not change the option to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects, with one amount shown for the aggregate income tax expense or benefit related to the total of other comprehensive income components. The amendments in this ASU were effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2012 and have presented our consolidated net income and consolidated comprehensive income in two separate, but consecutive, statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment . The guidance in this ASU is intended to reduce complexity and costs of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities with the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The amendments in this ASU include examples of events and circumstances that might indicate that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying value. The amendments in this ASU were effective prospectively for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2012, and the initial adoption of the amendments in this ASU did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS PENDING ADOPTION IN FUTURE PERIODS

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment . The guidance in this ASU is intended to reduce complexity and costs of the annual impairment tests for indefinite-lived intangible assets by providing entities with the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The amendments in this ASU include examples of events and circumstances that might indicate that an asset's fair value is less than its carrying value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

RUSSIAN MDI, COATINGS AND SYSTEMS ACQUISITION

On July 3, 2012, we completed our acquisition of the remaining 55% ownership interest in International Polyurethane Investment B.V. (the "Russian Systems House Acquisition"). This company's wholly owned subsidiary, Huntsman NMG Zao, is a leading supplier of polyurethane systems to the adhesives, coatings and footwear markets in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus and is headquartered in Obninsk, Russia. The acquisition cost was approximately €13 million (approximately $16 million). The acquired business was integrated into our Polyurethanes segment. Transaction costs charged to expense related to this acquisition were not significant. The fair value of our existing 45% ownership interest immediately prior to the acquisition was $13 million, valued by applying the income approach. Key assumptions include a discount rate of 17% and a terminal growth rate of 4%. In connection with this transaction, we recorded a noncash pretax loss of approximately $4 million in other operating (income) expense on the consolidation of this investment. The long-term debt of approximately $7 million that was assumed as part of this transaction was repaid shortly after the acquisition date.

We have accounted for the Russian Systems House Acquisition using the acquisition method. As such, we analyzed the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary allocation of acquisition cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

COMMAND=ADD_TABLEWIDTH,"100%" User-specified TAGGED TABLE

Fair value of original 45% ownership interest acquired in 2007 $
Acquisition cost of 55% ownership interest acquired in 2012 16
Total fair value of net assets acquired $ 29
Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Accounts receivable $ 2
Inventories 9
Other current assets 1
Property, plant and equipment 31
Accounts payable (4 )
Accrued liabilities (1 )
Deferred income taxes (2 )
Long-term debt (7 )
Total fair value of net assets acquired $ 29

end of user-specified TAGGED TABLE

The acquisition cost allocation is preliminary pending final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including final valuation of working capital, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and the determination of related deferred taxes. For purposes of this preliminary allocation of fair value, we have assigned any excess of the acquisition cost over historical carrying values to property, plant and equipment and no amounts have been allocated to goodwill. It is possible that changes to this preliminary allocation could occur.

International Polyurethane Investment B.V. had revenues and earnings of $16 million and $3 million, respectively, for the period from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2012. If this

EMA ACQUISITION

On December 30, 2011, we completed the acquisition of EMA Kimya Sistemleri Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (the "EMA Acquisition"), an MDI-based polyurethanes systems house in Istanbul, Turkey for approximately $11 million, net of cash acquired and including the repayment of assumed debt. The acquired business was integrated into our Polyurethanes segment. We have accounted for the EMA Acquisition using the acquisition method and transaction costs charged to expense associated with this acquisition were not significant. For purposes of a preliminary allocation of the acquisition cost to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we have assigned the excess of the acquisition cost over historical carrying values of $7 million to property, plant and equipment. At December 31, 2011, the excess of the acquisition cost over historical carrying values had been assigned as goodwill. This preliminary purchase price allocation is likely to change once we complete the analysis of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the fourth quarter of 2012. Net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 related to the business acquired were approximately $7 million and $19 million, respectively. Net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 related to the business acquired were approximately $(1) million and $(3) million, respectively.

LAFFANS ACQUISITION

On April 2, 2011, we completed the acquisition of the chemical business of Laffans Petrochemicals Limited, an amines and surfactants manufacturer located in Ankleshwar, India (the "Laffans Acquisition") at a cost of approximately $23 million. The acquired business has been integrated into our Performance Products segment. Transaction costs charged to expense related to this acquisition were not significant.

We have accounted for the Laffans Acquisition using the acquisition method. As such, we analyzed the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of

4. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using last-in first-out ("LIFO"), first-in first-out, and average costs methods for different components of inventory. Inventories consisted of the following (dollars in millions):

COMMAND=ADD_TABLEWIDTH,"100%" User-specified TAGGED TABLE

Raw materials and supplies September 30, 2012 — $ 471 $ 374

end of user-specified TAGGED TABLE

For September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately 10% and 12%, respectively, of inventories were recorded using the LIFO cost method.

In the normal course of operations we, at times, exchange raw materials and finished goods with other companies for the purpose of reducing transportation costs. The net nonmonetary open exchange positions are valued at cost. The amounts included in inventory under nonmonetary open exchange agreements receivable by us as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $12 million and $3 million, respectively. Other open exchanges are settled in cash and result in a net deferred profit margin. The amount payable under these open exchange agreements as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $2 million and nil, respectively.

5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

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

The following table summarizes the fair value of Sasol-Huntsman's assets and liabilities recorded upon initial consolidation in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited), before intercompany eliminations (dollars in millions):

COMMAND=ADD_TABLEWIDTH,"100%" User-specified TAGGED TABLE

April 1, 2011
Current assets $ 61
Property, plant and equipment, net 155
Intangible assets 16
Goodwill 17
Total assets $ 249
Current liabilities $ 23
Long-term debt 93
Deferred income taxes 8
Other noncurrent liabilities 7
Total liabilities $ 131

end of user-specified TAGGED TABLE

Goodwill of $17 million was recognized upon consolidation of Sasol-Huntsman, of which approximately $12 million is deductible for income tax purposes. The total amount recorded as goodwill decreased by approximately $2 million from the date of consolidation to December 31, 2011 due to a change in the foreign currency exchange rate. The net change to goodwill in response to changes in the foreign currency exchange rates from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012 was nil. All intangible assets other than goodwill are being amortized over an average useful life of 18 years.

If consolidation of Sasol-Huntsman had occurred on January 1, 2011, the approximate pro forma revenues attributable to both our Company and Huntsman International would have been $8,618 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. There would have been no impact to the combined earnings attributable to us or Huntsman International, excluding a one-time noncash gain of approximately $12 million recognized upon consolidation included in other operating expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited). Upon consolidation, we also recognized a one-time noncash income tax expense of approximately $2 million. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was estimated to be $61 million at April 1, 2011. The noncontrolling interest was valued at 50% of the fair value of the net assets as of April 1, 2011, as dictated by the ownership interest percentages, adjusted for certain tax consequences only applicable to one parent.

2012 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our Polyurethanes segment implemented a restructuring program to reduce annualized fixed costs by approximately $75 million by the third quarter of 2013. In connection with this program, we recorded restructuring expenses of $37 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily for workforce reductions. We expect to incur additional charges of approximately $1 million relating to this program through September 2013.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our Advanced Materials segment recorded charges of $6 million primarily related to the reorganization of our global business structure, the relocation of our divisional headquarters from Basel, Switzerland to The Woodlands, Texas and a redesign of our planning process focused on inventory reduction. In connection with the restructuring in Switzerland, we recorded a $3 million noncash charge related to a pension settlement loss.

On September 27, 2011, we announced plans to implement a significant restructuring of our Textile Effects segment, including the closure of our production facilities and business support offices in Basel, Switzerland, as part of an ongoing strategic program aimed at improving the Textile Effects segment's long-term global competitiveness.

Note Payable from Huntsman International to Huntsman Corporation

As of September 30, 2012, there was $707 million outstanding under the Intercompany Note owed us by Huntsman International. The Intercompany Note is unsecured and $100 million of the outstanding amount is classified as current as of both September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). As of September 30, 2012, under the terms of the Intercompany Note, Huntsman International promises to pay us interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate per annum based on the previous monthly average borrowing rate obtained under our U.S. accounts receivable securitization program ("U.S. A/R Program"), less ten basis points (provided that the rate shall not exceed an amount that is 25 basis points less than the monthly average borrowing rate obtained for the U.S. LIBOR-based borrowings under our Revolving Facility).

COMPLIANCE WITH COVENANTS

We believe that we are in compliance with the covenants contained in the agreements governing our material debt instruments, including our Senior Credit Facilities, our U.S. A/R Program and our European accounts receivable securitization program (the "EU A/R Program" and collectively with the U.S. A/R Program the "A/R Programs") and our notes.

Our material financing arrangements contain certain covenants with which we must comply. A failure to comply with a covenant could result in a default under a financing arrangement unless we obtained an appropriate waiver or forbearance (as to which we can provide no assurance). A default under these material financing arrangements generally allows debt holders the option to declare the underlying debt obligations immediately due and payable. Furthermore, certain of our material financing arrangements contain cross default and cross acceleration provisions under which a failure to comply with the covenants in one financing arrangement may result in an event of default under another financing arrangement.

Our Senior Credit Facilities are subject to a single financial covenant (the "Leverage Covenant") which applies only to the Revolving Facility and is tested at the Huntsman International level. The Leverage Covenant is applicable only if borrowings, letters of credit or guarantees are outstanding under the Revolving Facility (cash collateralized letters of credit or guarantees are not deemed outstanding). The Leverage Covenant is a net senior secured leverage ratio covenant which requires that Huntsman International's ratio of senior secured debt to EBITDA (as defined in the applicable agreement) is not more than 3.75 to 1.

If in the future Huntsman International fails to comply with the Leverage Covenant, then we may not have access to liquidity under our Revolving Facility. If Huntsman International failed to comply with the Leverage Covenant at a time when we had uncollateralized loans or letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility, Huntsman International would be in default under the Senior Credit Facilities, and, unless Huntsman International obtained a waiver or forbearance with respect to such default (as to which we can provide no assurance), Huntsman International could be required to

pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full, and we may not have further access to such facilities.

The agreements governing our A/R Programs also contain certain receivable performance metrics. Any material failure to meet the applicable A/R Programs' metrics in the future could lead to an early termination event under the A/R Programs, which could require us to cease our use of such facilities, prohibiting us from additional borrowings against our receivables or, at the discretion of the lenders, requiring that we repay the A/R Programs in full. An early termination event under the A/R Programs would also constitute an event of default under our Senior Credit Facilities, which could require us to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full and could result in the loss of our Senior Credit Facilities.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity pricing risks. From time to time, we enter into transactions, including transactions involving derivative instruments, to manage certain of these exposures.

All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are recorded on our balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged items are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, to the extent effective, and will be recognized in the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. To the extent applicable, we perform effectiveness assessments in order to use hedge accounting at each reporting period. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

We also hedge our net investment in certain European operations. Changes in the fair value of the hedge in the net investment of certain European operations are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variation. Our revenues and expenses are denominated in various foreign currencies. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency derivative instruments to minimize the short-term impact of movements in foreign currency rates. Where practicable, we generally net multi-currency cash balances among our subsidiaries to help reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. Certain other exposures may be managed from time to time through financial market transactions, principally through the purchase of spot or forward foreign exchange contracts (generally with maturities of one year or less). We do not hedge our foreign currency exposures in a manner that would eliminate the effect of changes in exchange rates on our cash flows and earnings. As of September 30, 2012, we had approximately $199 million in notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in forward foreign currency contracts.

On December 9, 2009, we entered into a five-year interest rate contract to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. The notional value of the contract is $50 million, and it has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swap was recorded in other

comprehensive income (loss). We will pay a fixed 2.6% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate. As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of the hedge was $3 million and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

On January 19, 2010, we entered into an additional five-year interest rate contract to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. The notional value of the contract is $50 million, and it has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swap was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). We will pay a fixed 2.8% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate. As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of the hedge was $3 million and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

On September 1, 2011, we entered into a $50 million forward interest rate contract that will begin in December 2014 with maturity in April 2017 and a $50 million forward interest rate contract that will begin in January 2015 with maturity in April 2017. These two forward contracts are to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities once our existing interest rate hedges mature. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swaps were recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Both interest rate contracts will pay a fixed 2.5% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate once the contracts begin in 2014 and 2015, respectively. As of September 30, 2012, the combined fair value of these two hedges was $4 million and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

In 2009, Sasol-Huntsman entered into derivative transactions to hedge the variable interest rate associated with its local credit facility. These hedges include a floating to fixed interest rate contract providing Sasol-Huntsman with EURIBOR interest payments for a fixed payment of 3.62% and a cap for future periods with a strike price of 3.62%. In connection with the consolidation of Sasol-Huntsman as of April 1, 2011, the interest rate contract is now included in our consolidated results. See "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities." The notional amount of the hedge as of September 30, 2012 was €47 million (approximately $61 million) and the derivative transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting. As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of this hedge was €2 million (approximately $3 million) and the hedge was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded interest expense of less than €1 million (less than $1 million) due to changes in the fair value of the swap.

Beginning in 2009, Arabian Amines Company entered into a 12-year floating to fixed interest rate contract providing for a receipt of LIBOR interest payments for a fixed payment of 5.02%. In connection with the consolidation of Arabian Amines Company as of July 1, 2010, the interest rate contract is now included in our consolidated results. See "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities." The notional amount of the swap as of September 30, 2012 was $36 million, and the interest rate contract is not designated as a cash flow hedge. As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of the swap was $6 million and was recorded as other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded interest expense of less than $1 million due to changes in the fair value of the swap.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (Continued)

In conjunction with the issuance of the 8.625% senior subordinated notes due 2020, we entered into cross-currency interest rate contracts with three counterparties. On March 17, 2010, we paid $350 million to these counterparties and received €255 million from these counterparties and at maturity on March 15, 2015 we are required to pay €255 million and will receive $350 million. On March 15 and September 15 of each year, we will receive U.S. dollar interest payments of approximately $15 million (equivalent to an annual rate of 8.625%) and make interest payments of approximately €11 million (equivalent to an annual rate of approximately 8.41%). These swaps are designated as a hedge of net investment for financial reporting purposes. As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of these swaps was $29 million and was recorded in noncurrent assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

As of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the changes in fair value of the realized gains (losses) recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited) of our other outstanding foreign currency rate hedging contracts and derivatives were not considered significant.

A significant portion of our intercompany debt is denominated in euros. We also finance certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries with intercompany loans that are, in many cases, denominated in currencies other than the entities' functional currency. We manage the net foreign currency exposure created by this debt through various means, including cross-currency swaps, the designation of certain intercompany loans as permanent loans because they are not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future ("permanent loans") and the designation of certain debt and swaps as net investment hedges.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are not designated as permanent loans are recorded in earnings. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are designated as permanent loans are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). From time to time, we review such designation of intercompany loans.

From time to time, we review our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt and swaps to determine the appropriate amounts designated as hedges. As of September 30, 2012, we have designated €255 million (approximately $327 million) of euro-denominated debt and cross-currency interest rate swaps as a hedge of our net investments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the amount of loss recognized on the hedge of our net investments was $6 million and approximately $1 million, respectively, and was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). As of September 30, 2012, we had €1,211 million (approximately $1,558 million) in net euro assets.

(1) We are party to cross-currency interest rate contracts that are measured at fair value in our financial statements (unaudited). These instruments have historically been categorized by us as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy due to an unobservable input associated with the credit valuation adjustment, which we deemed to be a significant input to the overall measurement of fair value at inception. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, this credit valuation adjustment has ceased to be a significant input to the entire fair value measurement of these instruments. The remaining inputs which are significant to the fair value measurement of these instruments represent observable market inputs that are inputs other than quoted prices (Level 2 inputs).

Our policy is to recognize transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy as of the beginning of the reporting period. Due to the change in significance of the credit valuation adjustment to the entire fair value measurement of these instruments, effective January 1, 2012, we have categorized our cross-currency interest rate contracts as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) included in earnings for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are reported in interest expense and other comprehensive income (loss) as follows (dollars in millions):

We also have assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets include property, plant and equipment and those associated with acquired businesses, including goodwill and intangible assets.

During the first quarter of 2012, certain U.K. pension plans were closed to new entrants. For existing participants, benefits will only grow as a result of increases in pay. Defined contribution plans were established to replace these pension plans for future benefit accruals. This change did not have a significant impact on our pension liability.

During 2012, the pension plan formula one of our U.S. subsidiaries was converted from an average pay design to a cash balance plan design. The existing defined contribution plan match was enhanced to offset this reduction in benefits. In connection with this plan change, we reduced our pension liability by approximately $23 million with a corresponding offset to other comprehensive income (loss) during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we made contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans of $124 million and $132 million, respectively. During the remainder of 2012, we expect to contribute an additional amount of $31 million to these plans.

In connection with employee terminations in Switzerland related to restructuring programs, we recorded a noncash pension settlement loss of $8 million in the third quarter of 2012.

11. HUNTSMAN CORPORATION STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

Effective August 5, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized our Company to repurchase up to $100 million in shares of our common stock. Repurchases under this program may be made through the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, and repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice. Shares of common stock acquired through the repurchase program are held in treasury at cost. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we did not repurchase any shares of our outstanding common stock under the repurchase program. As of September 30, 2012, there remained approximately $50 million of the amount authorized under the program that could be used for stock repurchases.

LEGAL MATTERS

Asbestos Litigation

We have been named as a premises defendant in a number of asbestos exposure cases, typically claims by nonemployees of exposure to asbestos while at a facility. In the past, these cases typically involved multiple plaintiffs bringing actions against multiple defendants, and the complaints have not indicated which plaintiffs were making claims against which defendants, where or how the alleged injuries occurred or what injuries each plaintiff claimed. Rarely do the complaints in these cases state the amount of damages being sought. These facts, which would be central to any estimate of probable loss, generally have been learned only through discovery.

Where a claimant's alleged exposure occurred prior to our ownership of the relevant premises, the prior owners generally have contractually agreed to retain liability for, and to indemnify us against, asbestos exposure claims. This indemnification is not subject to any time or dollar amount limitations. Upon service of a complaint in one of these cases, we tender it to the prior owner. The prior owner accepts responsibility for the conduct of the defense of the cases and payment of any amounts due to the claimants. In our eighteen-year experience with tendering these cases, we have not made any payment with respect to any tendered asbestos cases. We believe that the prior owners have the intention and ability to continue to honor their indemnity obligations, although we cannot assure you that they will continue to do so or that we will not be liable for these cases if they do not.

The following table presents for the periods indicated certain information about cases for which service has been received that we have tendered to the prior owner, all of which have been accepted.

Environmental Reserves

We have accrued liabilities relating to anticipated environmental cleanup obligations, site reclamation and closure costs and known penalties. Liabilities are recorded when potential liabilities are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Our liability estimates are calculated using present value techniques as appropriate and are based upon requirements placed upon us by regulators, available facts, existing technology and past experience. The environmental liabilities do not include amounts recorded as asset retirement obligations. We had accrued $35 million and $36 million for environmental liabilities as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Of these amounts, $10 million and $7 million were classified as accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and $25 million and $29 million were classified as other noncurrent liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. In certain cases, our remediation liabilities may be payable over periods of up to 30 years.

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

On June 1, 2007, the EU regulatory framework for chemicals called "REACH" took effect, designed to be phased in over 11 years. As a REACH-regulated company that manufactures in or imports more than one metric ton per year of a chemical substance into the European Economic Area, we were required to pre-register with the European Chemicals Agency ("ECHA"), such chemical substances and isolated intermediates to take advantage of the 11 year phase-in period. To meet our compliance obligations, a cross-business REACH team was established, through which we were able to fulfill all required pre-registrations and our first phase registrations by the November 30, 2010 deadline. While we continue our registration efforts to meet the next registration deadline of June 2013, our REACH implementation team is now strategically focused on the authorization phase of the REACH process, directing its efforts to address "Substances of Very High Concern" and evaluating potential business implications. Where warranted, evaluation of substitute chemicals will be an important element of our ongoing manufacturing sustainability efforts. As a chemical manufacturer with global operations, we are also actively monitoring and addressing analogous regulatory regimes being considered or implemented outside of the EU.

Although the total long-term cost for REACH compliance is unknown at this time, we spent approximately $5 million, $9 million and $3 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, to meet the initial REACH requirements. We cannot provide assurance that these recent expenditures are indicative of future amounts that we may be required to spend for REACH compliance.

GREENHOUSE GAS REGULATION

Although the existence of binding emissions limitations under international treaties such as the Kyoto Protocol is in doubt after 2012, we expect some or all of our operations to be subject to regulatory requirements to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases ("GHGs"). Even in the absence of a new global agreement to limit GHGs, we may be subject to additional regulation under the European Union Emissions Trading System as well as new national and regional GHG trading programs. For

example, our operations in Australia and selected U.S. states may be subject to future GHG regulations under emissions trading systems in those jurisdictions.

Because the United States has not adopted federal climate change legislation, domestic GHG efforts are likely to be guided by EPA regulations in the near future. While EPA's GHG programs are currently subject to judicial challenge, our domestic operations may become subject to EPA's regulatory requirements when implemented. In particular, expansions of our existing facilities or construction of new facilities may be subject to the Clean Air Act's Prevention of Significant Deterioration Requirements under EPA's GHG "Tailoring Rule." In addition, certain aspects of our operations may be subject to GHG emissions monitoring and reporting requirements. If we are subject to EPA GHG regulations, we may face increased monitoring, reporting, and compliance costs.

We are already managing and reporting GHG emissions, to varying degrees, as required by law for our sites in locations subject to Kyoto Protocol obligations and/or EU emissions trading scheme requirements. Although these sites are subject to existing GHG legislation, few have experienced or anticipate significant cost increases as a result of these programs, although it is possible that GHG emission restrictions may increase over time. Potential consequences of such restrictions include capital requirements to modify assets to meet GHG emission restrictions and/or increases in energy costs above the level of general inflation, as well as direct compliance costs. Currently, however, it is not possible to estimate the likely financial impact of potential future regulation on any of our sites.

Finally, it should be noted that some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHG in the earth's atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climatic events. If any of those effects were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on our assets and operations.

15. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

Under the Huntsman Corporation Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the "Stock Incentive Plan"), a plan approved by stockholders, we may grant nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, phantom stock, performance awards and other stock-based awards to our employees, directors and consultants and to employees and consultants of our subsidiaries, provided that incentive stock options may be granted solely to employees. The terms of the grants are fixed at the grant date. As of September 30, 2012, we were authorized to grant up to 32.6 million shares under the Stock Incentive Plan. As of September 30, 2012, we had 8 million shares remaining under the Stock Incentive Plan available for grant. Option awards have a maximum contractual term of 10 years and generally must have an exercise price at least equal to the market price of our common stock on the date the option award is granted. Stock-based awards generally vest over a three-year period.

STOCK OPTIONS

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock through the grant date. The expected term of options granted was estimated based on the contractual term of the instruments and employees' expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant. The assumptions noted below represent the weighted average of the assumptions utilized for stock options granted during the periods.

(1) As of September 30, 2012, a total of 516,338 restricted stock units were vested, of which 72,161 vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. These shares have not been reflected as vested shares in this table because in accordance with the restricted stock unit agreements, shares of common stock are not issued for vested restricted stock units until termination of employment.

As of September 30, 2012, there was $21 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share compensation arrangements granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.2 years. The value of share awards that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $21 million and $23 million, respectively.

16. INCOME TAXES

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. We evaluate deferred tax assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Valuation allowances are reviewed on a tax jurisdiction basis to analyze whether there is sufficient positive or negative evidence to support a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets for each jurisdiction. These conclusions require significant judgment. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider the cyclicality of businesses and cumulative income or losses during the applicable period. Cumulative losses incurred over the applicable period limits our ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for the future. Changes in expected future income in applicable jurisdictions could affect the realization of deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, on a discrete basis, we changed our judgment about certain valuation allowances, primarily related to operations of our Textile Effects segment, resulting in a net $1 million benefit for changes in valuation allowance related to certain net deferred assets in Guatemala, Indonesia, and China. In addition, due to changes in certain intercompany operations, we increased our estimated future taxable income in Luxembourg and released valuation allowances of

$12 million and $8 million on certain net deferred assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded a net increase in unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding income tax expense of $4 million, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded no net change in unrecognized tax benefits.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we were granted a tax holiday for the period from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2016 with respect to certain income from Pigments products manufactured in Malaysia. We are required to make certain investments in order to enjoy the benefits of the tax holiday and we intend to make these investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded a discrete benefit of $3 million from de-recognition of a net deferred tax liability that will reverse during the holiday period. The amount of tax benefit to be realized from the tax holiday is directly dependent on the amount of future pre-tax income generated. We expect that the effects of the tax holiday will not be material to our provision for income taxes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded approximately $12 million of tax benefits on the approximately $50 million of restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs attributable to the significant restructuring of our Polyurethanes and Textile Effects segments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded approximately $2 million of tax benefits on the approximately $160 million of restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs attributable to the significant restructuring of our Textile Effects and Advanced Materials segments. The majority of these 2011 restructuring expenses relate to operations in Switzerland where we have a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets.

Huntsman Corporation

Excluding the tax effects resulting from the net valuation allowance changes and restructuring costs, the net unrecognized tax benefit items and the Malaysia tax holiday discussed above, we recorded income tax expense of $210 million and $121 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our tax expense is affected by the mix of income and losses in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, as impacted by the presence of valuation allowances in certain tax jurisdictions.

Huntsman International

Excluding the tax effects resulting from the net valuation allowance changes and restructuring costs, the net unrecognized tax benefit items and the Malaysia tax holiday discussed above, Huntsman International recorded income tax expense of $212 million and $121 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our tax expense is affected by the mix of income and losses in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, as impacted by the presence of valuation allowances in certain tax jurisdictions.

AUSTRALIAN STYRENICS BUSINESS SHUTDOWN

During the first quarter of 2010, we ceased operation of our former Australian styrenics business. The following results of operations of our former Australian styrenics business have been presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited) (dollars in millions):

In 2006, product defect actions were filed against our subsidiary, HCCA, in Australian courts relating to the sale and supply of vinyl ester resins that were used in the manufacture of fiberglass swimming pools. HCCA ceased manufacturing these specific resin formulations by 2004 and sold the business that manufactured and sold these resins in 2007.

During the first quarter of 2011, HCCA increased its estimate of probable loss related to these claims and recorded a liability for the full estimated value of the claims and a corresponding receivable relating to our indemnity protection with a net charge to discontinued operations for any potential shortfall in insurance coverage. Following mediation held in August 2011, HCCA and its insurers reached an agreement with two claimants to settle their claims for amounts within our insurance coverage after our self-insured retention was satisfied. Accordingly, during the third quarter of 2011, HCCA reduced its estimate of probable loss proportionately and reversed a portion of the liability related to this matter. The settlements were paid in the fourth quarter of 2011.

18. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic income (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share reflects all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and is computed by dividing net income available to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding as dilutive securities.

Additional stock-based awards of 7.9 million and 6.8 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and additional stock-based awards of 9.3 million and 6.7 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. However, these stock-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 periods because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 31, 2012, we prepaid $50 million of our Term Loan B.

On November 2, 2012, Huntsman International announced its intention to issue approximately $300 million of Senior Notes due 2020. We expect to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with existing cash, to redeem a portion of our existing Senior Notes due 2016. In connection with this offering, we expect to record a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $55 million.

economic conditions, we expect continued near term earnings pressure on our Pigments segment due to soft demand and higher raw material costs, though we anticipate that earnings improvements across all of our other segments will offset this pressure. Over time, we expect MDI margins in our Polyurethanes segment to improve as utilization rates tighten. We anticipate that the future benefits from our ongoing restructuring and cost cutting efforts will result in a lower cost structure in 2013.

The following summarizes trends and key considerations that could impact future performance of our operating segments:

Polyurethanes :

Performance Products :

Advanced Materials :

Textile Effects :

Pigments :

We expect to spend approximately $425 million to $450 million in 2012 on capital expenditures, largely for growth initiatives and maintenance.

We expect our long-term effective income tax rate to be approximately 30% to 35%.

NM—Not Meaningful (1) Our management uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to assess financial performance. EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is computed by eliminating the following from EBITDA: loss on early extinguishment of debt; loss (gain) on initial consolidation of subsidiaries; certain legal settlements and related expenses; EBITDA from discontinued operations; acquisition expenses; extraordinary gain on the acquisition of a business; gain on disposition of businesses/assets; and restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not necessarily be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. There are material limitations associated with our use of these measures because they do not reflect overall financial performance, including the effects of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Our management compensates for the limitations of these measures by using them as a supplement to GAAP results.

(a) Includes costs associated with the transition of our Textile Effects segment's production from Basel, Switzerland to a tolling facility. These costs were included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited).

(2) Our management also uses adjusted net income to assess financial performance. Adjusted net income is computed by eliminating the after-tax amounts related to the following from net income applicable to Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate: loss on early extinguishment of debt; loss (gain) on initial consolidation of subsidiaries; certain legal settlements and related expenses; discount amortization on settlement financing; loss (income) from discontinued operations; acquisition expenses; gain on disposition of businesses/assets; extraordinary gain on the acquisition of a business; and restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs. The income tax impacts of each aforementioned item was calculated using the statutory rates in the applicable taxing jurisdiction and considering valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction. Basic adjusted net income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share reflects all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and is computed by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding as dilutive securities.

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share amounts are presented solely as supplemental information.

(1) Excludes revenues and sales volumes primarily from tolling arrangements and the sale of byproducts and raw materials.

Polyurethanes

The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was due to higher average selling prices and improved sales mix partially offset by lower sales volumes and the strength of the U.S. dollar against major European currencies. PO/MTBE average selling prices increased primarily due to favorable market conditions. MDI average selling prices increased in all regions, offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar against major European currencies. PO/MTBE sales volumes decreased, partially offset by an increase in MDI sales volumes primarily as a result of improved demand in the European and Asian regions and in certain markets such as composite wood products and adhesives, coatings and elastomers. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher contribution margins and improved sales mix, partially offset by higher restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs. During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, our Polyurethanes segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs of $32 million and nil, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Performance Products

The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was due to lower average selling prices and lower sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased primarily in response to lower raw material costs and the strength of the U.S. dollar against major international currencies. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to a shift to tolling arrangements. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher contribution margins as raw materials costs decreased.

Advanced Materials

The decrease in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily due to lower average selling prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased primarily in response to lower raw material costs, competitive market pressure and the strength of the U.S. dollar against major international currencies. Sales volumes increased primarily due to stronger demand in Europe, the Americas and India while sales volumes in the Asia-Pacific region decreased due to lower demand in the wind energy and electrical engineering markets. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales volumes, lower restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs and lower selling, general and administrative costs as a result of recent restructuring efforts. During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, our Advanced Materials segment recorded restructuring,

Cash

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $556 million and $25 million, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the same period in 2011 was primarily attributable to an increase in operating income as described in "—Results of Operations" above and to a $225 million favorable variance in operating assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared with the same period in 2011.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $299 million and $200 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we paid $248 million and $217 million, respectively, for capital expenditures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we paid $18 million and $23 million, respectively, for the acquisition of a business.

As of September 30, 2012, HPS had RMB 270 million (approximately $43 million) outstanding, which is classified as current portion of debt on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

On March 30, 2012, we repaid the remaining A$26 million (approximately $27 million) outstanding under our Australian Credit Facility, which represents repayment of A$14 million (approximately $15 million) under the revolving facility and A$12 million (approximately $12 million) under the term loan facility.

Note Payable from Huntsman International to Huntsman Corporation

As of September 30, 2012, there was $707 million outstanding under the Intercompany Note owed us by Huntsman International. The Intercompany Note is unsecured and $100 million of the outstanding amount is classified as current as of both September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). As of September 30, 2012, under the terms of the Intercompany Note, Huntsman International promises to pay us interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate per annum based on the previous monthly average borrowing rate obtained under our U.S. A/R Program, less ten basis points (provided that the rate shall not exceed an amount that is 25 basis points less than the monthly average borrowing rate obtained for the U.S. LIBOR-based borrowings under our Revolving Facility).

COMPLIANCE WITH COVENANTS

We believe that we are in compliance with the covenants contained in the agreements governing our material debt instruments, including our Senior Credit Facilities, our A/R Programs and our notes.

Our material financing arrangements contain certain covenants with which we must comply. A failure to comply with a covenant could result in a default under a financing arrangement unless we obtained an appropriate waiver or forbearance (as to which we can provide no assurance). A default under these material financing arrangements generally allows debt holders the option to declare the underlying debt obligations immediately due and payable. Furthermore, certain of our material financing arrangements contain cross default and cross acceleration provisions under which a failure to comply with the covenants in one financing arrangement may result in an event of default under another financing arrangement.

Our Senior Credit Facilities are subject to the Leverage Covenant which applies only to the Revolving Facility and is tested at the Huntsman International level. The Leverage Covenant is applicable only if borrowings, letters of credit or guarantees are outstanding under the Revolving Facility (cash collateralized letters of credit or guarantees are not deemed outstanding). The Leverage Covenant is a net senior secured leverage ratio covenant which requires that Huntsman International's ratio of senior secured debt to EBITDA (as defined in the applicable agreement) is not more than 3.75 to 1.

If in the future Huntsman International fails to comply with the Leverage Covenant, then we may not have access to liquidity under our Revolving Facility. If Huntsman International failed to comply

Table of Contents

with the Leverage Covenant at a time when we had uncollateralized loans or letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility, Huntsman International would be in default under the Senior Credit Facilities, and, unless Huntsman International obtained a waiver or forbearance with respect to such default (as to which we can provide no assurance), Huntsman International could be required to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full, and we may not have further access to such facilities.

The agreements governing our A/R Programs also contain certain receivable performance metrics. Any material failure to meet the applicable A/R Programs' metrics in the future could lead to an early termination event under the A/R Programs, which could require us to cease our use of such facilities, prohibiting us from additional borrowings against our receivables or, at the discretion of the lenders, requiring that we repay the A/R Programs in full. An early termination event under the A/R Programs would also constitute an event of default under our Senior Credit Facilities, which could require us to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full and could result in the loss of our Senior Credit Facilities.

SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM LIQUIDITY

We depend upon our cash, credit facilities, A/R Programs and other debt instruments to provide liquidity for our operations and working capital needs. As of September 30, 2012, we had $1,038 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity, consisting of $444 million in cash and restricted cash, $381 million in availability under our Revolving Facility, and $213 million in availability under our A/R Programs. Our liquidity can be significantly impacted by various factors. The following matters had, or are expected to have, a significant impact on our liquidity:

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2012, we had $130 million classified as current portion of debt which consists of certain scheduled term payments and various short-term facilities including an HPS borrowing facility in China with $43 million outstanding, scheduled amortization payments at our VIEs of $25 million, $24 million related to the annual financing of our insurance premiums, and certain other short term facilities and scheduled amortization payments totaling $38 million. Although we cannot provide assurances, we intend to renew or extend the majority of these short-term facilities in the current period.

As of September 30, 2012, we had approximately $228 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, held by our foreign subsidiaries, including our VIEs. Additionally, we have material intercompany debt obligations owed to us by our non-U.S. subsidiaries. We intend to use cash held in our foreign subsidiaries to fund our local operations. Nevertheless, we could repatriate cash as dividends or as repayments of intercompany debt. If foreign cash were repatriated as dividends, the dividends could be subject to adverse tax consequences. At present, we estimate that we will generate sufficient cash in our U.S. operations, together with the payments of intercompany debt if necessary, to meet our cash needs in the U.S and we do not expect to repatriate material cash to the U.S. as dividends in the near term. Cash held by certain foreign subsidiaries, including our VIEs, may also be subject to legal restrictions, including those arising from the interests of our partners, which could limit the amounts available for repatriation.

RESTRUCTURING, IMPAIRMENT AND PLANT CLOSING COSTS

Our Polyurethanes, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects and Pigments segments are involved in cost reduction programs that are expected to reduce costs in these businesses by approximately $190 million. These cost savings are expected to be achieved through the third quarter of 2013. For further discussion of these plans and the costs involved, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity pricing risks. From time to time, we enter into transactions, including transactions involving derivative instruments, to manage certain of these exposures.

All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are recorded on our balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged items are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, to the extent effective, and will be recognized in the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. To the extent applicable, we perform effectiveness assessments in order to use hedge accounting at each reporting period. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

We also hedge our net investment in certain European operations. Changes in the fair value of the hedge in the net investment of certain European operations are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variation. Our revenues and expenses are denominated in various foreign currencies. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency derivative instruments to minimize the short-term impact of movements in foreign currency rates. Where practicable, we generally net multi-currency cash balances among our subsidiaries to help reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. Certain other exposures may be managed from time to time through financial market transactions, principally through the purchase of spot or forward foreign exchange contracts (generally with maturities of one year or less). We do not hedge our foreign currency exposures in a manner that would eliminate the effect of changes in exchange rates on our cash flows and earnings. As of September 30, 2012, we had approximately $199 million in notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in forward foreign currency contracts.

On December 9, 2009, we entered into a five-year interest rate contract to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. The notional value of the contract is $50 million, and it has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swap was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). We will pay a fixed 2.6% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate. As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of the hedge was $3 million and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

On January 19, 2010, we entered into an additional five-year interest rate contract to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. The notional value of the contract is $50 million, and it has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swap was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). We will pay a fixed 2.8% on the hedge and receive the one-month

LIBOR rate. As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of the hedge was $3 million and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

On September 1, 2011, we entered into a $50 million forward interest rate contract that will begin in December 2014 with maturity in April 2017 and a $50 million forward interest rate contract that will begin in January 2015 with maturity in April 2017. These two forward contracts are to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities once our existing interest rate hedges mature. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swaps were recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Both interest rate contracts will pay a fixed 2.5% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate once the contracts begin in 2014 and 2015, respectively. As of September 30, 2012, the combined fair value of these two hedges was $4 million and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

In 2009, Sasol-Huntsman entered into derivative transactions to hedge the variable interest rate associated with its local credit facility. These hedges include a floating to fixed interest rate contract providing Sasol-Huntsman with EURIBOR interest payments for a fixed payment of 3.62% and a cap for future periods with a strike price of 3.62%. In connection with the consolidation of Sasol-Huntsman as of April 1, 2011, the interest rate contract is now included in our consolidated results. See "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). The notional amount of the hedge as of September 30, 2012 was €47 million (approximately $61 million) and the derivative transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting. As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of this hedge was €2 million (approximately $3 million) and the hedge was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded interest expense of less than €1 million (less than $1 million) due to changes in the fair value of the swap.

Beginning in 2009, Arabian Amines Company entered into a 12-year floating to fixed interest rate contract providing for a receipt of LIBOR interest payments for a fixed payment of 5.02%. In connection with the consolidation of Arabian Amines Company as of July 1, 2010, the interest rate contract is now included in our consolidated results. See "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). The notional amount of the swap as of September 30, 2012 was $36 million, and the interest rate contract is not designated as a cash flow hedge. As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of the swap was $6 million and was recorded as other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded interest expense of less than $1 million due to changes in the fair value of the swap.

In conjunction with the issuance of the 8.625% senior subordinated notes due 2020, we entered into cross-currency interest rate contracts with three counterparties. On March 17, 2010, we paid $350 million to these counterparties and received €255 million from these counterparties and at maturity on March 15, 2015 we are required to pay €255 million and will receive $350 million. On March 15 and September 15 of each year, we will receive U.S. dollar interest payments of approximately $15 million (equivalent to an annual rate of 8.625%) and make interest payments of approximately €11 million (equivalent to an annual rate of approximately 8.41%). These swaps are designated as a hedge of net investment for financial reporting purposes. As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of these swaps was $29 million and was recorded in noncurrent assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

As of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the changes in fair value of the realized gains (losses) recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited) of our other outstanding foreign currency rate hedging contracts and derivatives were not considered significant.

A significant portion of our intercompany debt is denominated in euros. We also finance certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries with intercompany loans that are, in many cases, denominated in currencies other than the entities' functional currency. We manage the net foreign currency exposure created by this debt through various means, including cross-currency swaps, the designation of certain intercompany loans as permanent loans because they are not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future ("permanent loans") and the designation of certain debt and swaps as net investment hedges.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are not designated as permanent loans are recorded in earnings. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are designated as permanent loans are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). From time to time, we review such designation of intercompany loans.

From time to time, we review our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt and swaps to determine the appropriate amounts designated as hedges. As of September 30, 2012, we have designated €255 million (approximately $327 million) of euro-denominated debt and cross-currency interest rate swaps as a hedge of our net investments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the amount of loss recognized on the hedge of our net investments was $6 million and approximately $1 million, respectively, and was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). As of September 30, 2012, we had €1,211 million (approximately $1,558 million) in net euro assets.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2012. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in that they ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

No changes to our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). However, we can only give reasonable assurance that our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Ineffective internal controls over financial reporting could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and could result in a lower trading price for our securities.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On July 27, 2012, the Canadian courts approved, and we have since paid, the settlement of the two cases filed against us in Canada on behalf of purported classes of Canadian direct and indirect purchasers of MDI, TDI and polyether polyols. We had reached agreement to resolve these cases in April 2012, pending court approval. These cases were filed against us on May 5 and 17, 2006, in the Superior Court of Justice, Ontario, Canada and Superior Court, Province of Quebec, District of Quebec and allege that we conspired to fix the prices of polyether polyols products. The settlement is in an amount immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). For more information concerning antitrust matters, see "Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Matters—Antitrust Matters" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).
