II. Modification to the articles of association

It is proposed to add a new Article 7bis to the articles of association, which would read as follows: "In the framework of the acquisition of Cytec industries Inc., the board of directors is authorized to (i) increase the registered capital by contributions in cash that amount to a maximum of EUR 1.5 billion, of which a maximum amount of EUR 1,270,516,995 will be allocated to the account "capital" and the remainder to the account "issuance premium", and (ii) determine all the terms of the capital increase, the issuance of the shares and their placement. This authorization is granted to the board of directors until 31 December 2016 (inclusive) and will expire on the following day if, by that date, the board of directors has not made use of such authorization in full or in part, as the case may be for the amount that has not been used by the board of directors. Any capital increase decided by the board of directors on the basis of this authorization must take place either with statutory preferential subscription right or non-statutory preferential subscription right."
