$590,000,000 57/8% Senior Notes due 2019
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") has issued in an offering (the "Offering") 600,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of its 53/4% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "Euro IGH Notes") and $590,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of its 57/8% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "Dollar IGH Notes", and together with the Euro IGH Notes, the
"Notes"). Interest accrues from February 18, 2014 and is payable semi-annually on the Euro IGH Notes and the Dollar
IGH Notes on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning August 15, 2014.
The Euro IGH Notes will mature on February 15, 2019. Some or all of the Euro IGH Notes may be redeemed
prior to February 15, 2016 by paying 100% of the principal amount of such notes plus a make-whole premium, and at
any time on or after February 15, 2016 at the redemption prices set forth in this offering memorandum. In addition, at any
time on or prior to February 15, 2016, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Euro IGH
Notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings. The Dollar IGH Notes will mature on February 15, 2019. Some
or all of the Dollar IGH Notes may be redeemed prior to February 15, 2016 by paying 100% of the principal amount of
such notes plus a make-whole premium, and at any time on or after February 15, 2016 at the redemption prices set forth
in this offering memorandum. In addition, at any time on or prior to February 15, 2016, we may redeem up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Dollar 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 2018 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 2020 Senior Secured Notes, the 2019 Senior Secured Notes and certain hedging and cash management
obligations.
Certain subsidiaries of the Issuer jointly and severally guarantee 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, the 2020 Senior Secured Notes and the 2019 Senior Secured Notes 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, the 2020
Senior Secured Notes and the 2019 Senior Secured Notes.





Also, the Notes (along with the 2018 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 Proceeds Loans. 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, the 2020 Senior Secured Notes, the 2019 Senior Secured Notes and pari passu
with the security interests in such assets which secure the 2018 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, this offering memorandum should be read as a whole by any prospective purchaser in making a
determination as to whether to invest in 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 Luxembourg law
on prospectus securities dated July 10, 2005, as amended.

NOTICE TO EEA INVESTORS
This offering memorandum is not a prospectus and is being distributed to a limited number of recipients for the
sole purpose of assisting such recipients in determining whether to proceed with a further investigation of the purchase
of, or subscription for, the Notes. This offering memorandum has been prepared on the basis that all offers of the Notes
will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in Member States of the
European Economic Area ("EEA"), from the requirement to produce a prospectus for offers of securities. Accordingly,
any person making or intending to make any offer within the EEA of the Notes, which are the subject of the placement
contemplated in this offering memorandum, should only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the
Issuer or the initial purchasers to produce a prospectus for such offer. Neither the Issuer nor the initial purchasers have
authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of the Notes through any financial intermediary, other than
offers made by the initial purchasers, which constitute the final placement of the Notes contemplated in this offering

with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State

PD Amending Directive, 150 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the
Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior
consent of the relevant dealer or dealers nominated by the Issuer for any such offer; or
(c)
in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,
provided that no such offer of the Notes shall result in a requirement for the publication by the Issuer or the initial
purchasers of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of this restriction, the expression an "offer of the notes to the public" in relation to any Notes in
any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the
terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Notes, as
the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member
State, the expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010
PD Amending Directive, and Directive 2010/78/EU to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State), and
includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State and the expression "2010 PD Amending
