IN THE UNITED STATES
OFFERING MEMORANDUM

INEOS Finance plc
770,000,000 2% 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") 770,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2% Senior Secured Notes due
2026 (the "Notes"). Interest will accrue from April 24, 2019 and be payable semi-annually on the Notes on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning
November 1, 2019.
The Notes will mature on May 1, 2026. Some or all of the Notes may be redeemed prior to May 1, 2022, by paying 100% of the principal amount
of such Notes plus a "make-whole" premium, and at any time on or after May 1, 2022, at the redemption prices set forth in this offering memorandum. In
addition, at any time on or prior to May 1, 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 certain
deposit account and security account control agreements and certain real property collateral, 60 days and 90 days, respectively) 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 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 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 of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (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. 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 22 of this offering memorandum.

Issue price for the Notes: 100% 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 April 24, 2019. Interests in each global note will be exchangeable for the relevant definitive Notes only in certain limited circumstances.

NOTICE TO U.S. INVESTORS
Each purchaser of the Notes will be deemed to have made the representations, warranties and
acknowledgments that are described in this offering memorandum under the section titled "Notice to Investors."
The Notes and the guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the
securities laws of any state of the United States and are subject to certain restrictions on transfer. Prospective
purchasers are hereby notified that the seller of any Note may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of
Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A thereunder. For a description of certain further restrictions on

THE NOTES MAY NOT BE OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC WITHIN ANY JURISDICTION. BY

NOTICE TO EEA INVESTORS
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 defined below) from the requirement to produce a
prospectus for offers of the Notes. In relation to each member state (a "Member State") of the European Economic
Area (the "EEA") which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant Member State"), with effect
from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State no
offer of Notes to the public in that Relevant Member State may be made other than:
(a)
to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;
(b)
to fewer than 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 referred to in clauses (a) to (c) above shall require the publication by the
Issuer or any dealer of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or a supplement to a prospectus
pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make any offer
within the EEA of the Notes should only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or any
dealer to produce a prospectus for such offer. Neither the Issuer nor any dealer has authorized, nor do they authorize,

v

the making of any offer of Notes through any financial intermediary, other than offers made by any dealer, which
constitute the final placement of the Notes contemplated in this offering memorandum.
Solely for the purposes of the product approval process of the manufacturers, the target market assessment
in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and
professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); and (ii) all channels
for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person
subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the
manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking
its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target
market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
The Notes described in this offering memorandum are not intended to be offered or sold to and should not
be offered or sold to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one
(or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II or (ii) a customer within the
meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU (as amended), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as
defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. No key information document required by Regulation (EU) No
1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPS Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them
available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared. Offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them
available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPS Regulation.
For the purposes of this restriction, the expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC
(and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant
Member State), and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State and the expression
"2010 PD Amending Directive" means Directive 2010/73/EU.

in France within the meaning of Article L. 411-1 of the French Code monétaire et financier and Title I of Book II of
