OFFERING MEMORANDUM
NOT FOR GENERAL CIRCULATION
AND LISTING PARTICULARS
IN THE UNITED STATES

INEOS Finance plc
325,000,000 33/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2026
Guaranteed on a senior secured basis by
INEOS Group Holdings S.A., INEOS Luxembourg I S.A., INEOS Holdings Limited
and certain of their subsidiaries

INEOS Finance plc (the "Issuer") is offering (the "Offering") 325,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its
33/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the "Notes"). Interest on the Notes will accrue from October 29, 2020 and be
payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning May 15, 2021.
The Notes will mature on March 31, 2026. Some or all of the Notes may be redeemed prior to November 15,
2022, by paying 100% of the principal amount of such Notes plus a "make-whole" premium, and at any time on or after
November 15, 2022, at the redemption prices set forth in this offering memorandum. In addition, at any time on or prior
to November 15, 2022, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 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 secured obligations and (i) rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the
Issuer's existing and future indebtedness that is not subordinated to the Notes; and (ii) are guaranteed by INEOS Group
Holdings S.A. (the "Parent"), INEOS Luxembourg I S.A. ("Lux I"), INEOS Holdings Limited and certain of their
subsidiaries on a senior secured basis (together, the "Guarantors"). Within 30 days (or in the case of real property
collateral, 90 days) after issuance, the Notes and the guarantees will be secured by first ranking liens (subject to certain
exceptions) on the same assets that secure the 2026 Senior Secured Notes, the 2025 Senior Secured Notes, the
Schuldschein Loan and the Senior Secured Term Loans as more fully described in "Description of the Collateral and
Guarantees," and elsewhere in this offering memorandum.
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, therefore, 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. 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. This document constitutes the listing particulars ("Listing
Particulars") in respect of the admission of the Notes to the Offical List and to trading on the Euro MTF market of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "Euro MTF Market"). Application was made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for
the approval of this document as Listing Particulars. 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 16, 2019. The Euro MTF
market is not a regulated market pursuant to the provisions of Directive 2014/65/EC on markets in financial instruments.
The Euro MTF market falls within the scope of Regulation (EC) 596/2014 on market abuse and Directive 2014/57/EU on
criminal sanctions for market abuse.
Investing in the Notes involves risks that are described in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 23 of this
offering memorandum.

Offering price for the 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. persons outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. For
further details about eligible offerees and resale restrictions, please see "Notice to Investors."
Delivery of the Notes was made to investors in book-entry form through Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear")
and Clearstream Banking, S.A. ("Clearstream") on October 29, 2020. Interests in each global note will be exchangeable
for the relevant definitive Notes only in certain limited circumstances. See "Book-Entry; Delivery and Form."

Directives as they form part of the United Kingdom domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act

EEA or the United Kingdom will be made pursuant to an exemption under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus
Regulation") from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of Notes. This offering memorandum is not a

NOTICE TO FRENCH INVESTORS
This offering memorandum has not been prepared in the context of a public offering of financial securities in
France within the meaning of the Prospectus Regulation and, therefore, has not been approved by, or registered or filed

prospectus to be submitted for approval to the AMF.
Consequently, the Notes may not be, directly or indirectly, offered or sold to the public in France (offre au
public de titres financiers) (other than to qualified investors and/or a restricted circle of investors acting for their own
account), and neither this offering memorandum nor any offering or marketing materials relating to the Notes may be
made available or distributed in any way that would constitute, directly or indirectly, an offer to the public in France
(other than to qualified investors and/or a restricted circle of investors acting for their own account).
The Notes may only be offered or sold in France to: (i) a restricted circle of investors acting for their own
account (cercle restreint d'investisseurs agissant pour compte propre) in accordance with Articles L. 411-2 and D. 411-4
of the French Code monétaire et financier and/or to qualified investors (investisseurs qualifiés) as defined by Article 2(e)
