OFFERING MEMORANDUM

INEOS Group Holdings S.A.
$500,000,000 55/8% Senior Notes due 2024
650,000,000 53/8% Senior Notes due 2024
Guaranteed on a senior and generally unsecured basis by
INEOS Luxembourg I S.A., INEOS Holdings Limited
and certain of their subsidiaries

INEOS Group Holdings S.A. (the "Issuer") is offering (the "Offering") $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
its U.S. dollar-denominated 55/8% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "Dollar IGH Notes") and 650,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of its euro-denominated 53/8% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "Euro IGH Notes"). The Dollar IGH Notes and the Euro IGH
Notes are collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Notes." Interest will accrue from August 9, 2016 and be payable
semi-annually on each of the Dollar IGH Notes and the Euro IGH Notes on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning
February 1, 2017.
The Dollar IGH Notes will mature on August 1, 2024. Some or all of the Dollar IGH Notes may be redeemed prior to
August 1, 2019, by paying 100% of the principal amount of such Notes plus a "make-whole" premium, and at any time on or
after August 1, 2019, at the redemption prices set forth in this offering memorandum. In addition, at any time on or prior to
August 1, 2019, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Dollar IGH Notes with the net proceeds of
certain equity offerings. The Euro IGH Notes will mature on August 1, 2024. Some or all of the Euro IGH Notes may be
redeemed prior to August 1, 2019, by paying 100% of the principal amount of such Notes plus a "make-whole" premium, and
at any time on or after August 1, 2019, at the redemption prices set forth in this offering memorandum. In addition, at any time
on or prior to August 1, 2019, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Euro IGH Notes with the net
proceeds of certain equity offerings.
Upon the occurrence of certain events constituting a "change of control", each holder of the Notes may require the
Issuer to repurchase all or a portion of its Notes. All of the Notes may also be redeemed at 100% of their principal amount plus
accrued interest if at any time the Issuer or any guarantor becomes obligated to pay withholding taxes as a result of certain
changes in law.
The Notes are the Issuer's senior obligations and (i) rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Issuer's existing
and future senior indebtedness that is not subordinated to the Notes, including the 2019 IGH Notes; (ii) rank senior to all of the
Issuer's existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and (iii) are effectively
subordinated in right of payment to the existing and future secured indebtedness of the Issuer to the value of the assets securing
such indebtedness, including its obligations with respect to the Senior Secured Term Loans, the 2023 Senior Secured Notes and
certain hedging and cash management obligations.
Certain subsidiaries of the Issuer have jointly and severally guaranteed the Notes . The guarantees are generally
unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the subsidiaries and (i) rank pari passu with all of the existing and future senior
subordinated indebtedness of the guarantors; (ii) rank senior to all existing and future indebtedness of such guarantor that is
expressly subordinated in right of payment to such guarantee; (iii) are subordinated in right of payment to any existing and
future senior indebtedness of such guarantor, which includes the obligations of such guarantor under the Senior Secured Term
Loans and the 2023 Senior Secured Notes and certain cash hedging and cash management obligations and (iv) are subordinated

in right of payment to all of its existing and future secured indebtedness of the guarantor to the value of the assets securing such
indebtedness, including the guarantors' obligations under the Senior Secured Term Loans and the 2023 Senior Secured Notes.
Also, the Notes (along with the 2019 IGH Notes) are secured on a pari passu basis by a second ranking share charge
over all of the shares of INEOS Holdings Limited and a second ranking assignment by the Issuer of all its rights in respect of the
2019 IGH Notes Proceeds Loans, the Dollar IGH Notes Proceeds Loan and the Euro IGH Notes Proceeds Loan. The security
interests over the shares of INEOS Holdings Limited and the Proceeds Loans rank behind the security interests in such assets
which secure certain senior indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Senior Secured Term Loans and the 2023 Senior
Secured Notes and pari passu with the security interests in such assets which secure the 2019 IGH Notes.
This offering memorandum includes more detailed information on the terms of the Notes, the guarantees and the
security interests as briefly described above, including redemption and repurchase prices, security, covenants and transfer
restrictions and thus, the offering memorandum should be read as a whole by any prospective purchaser in making a
determination as to whether to invest in the Notes. This offering memorandum may only be used for the purposes for which it
has been published.
Currently there is no public market for the Notes. Application has been made to list the Notes on the Official List of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange and for trading on the Euro MTF market. This offering memorandum constitutes a prospectus for
purposes of Part IV of the Luxembourg law on prospectus securities dated July 10, 2005, as amended.
Investing in the Notes involves risks that are described in the "Risk Factors" section beginning
on page 20 of this offering memorandum.

Issue price for the Dollar IGH Notes: 100.000% plus accrued interest from the issue date, if any.
Issue price for the Euro IGH Notes: 100.000% plus accrued interest from the issue date, if any.
The Notes and the guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. The Notes are being offered and sold
only to (i) qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and (ii) non-U.S.
