LyondellBasell Says $2.79B Debt Tender Offer Oversubcribed

Last Update: 11/3/2011 8:58:14 AM

DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

LyondellBasell Industries NV (LYB) said Thursday that early results from an offer
launched by one of its units to buy back up to $2.79 billion in debt was
oversubscribed, leading it to accept tendered notes on a prorated basis.

Early results of the cash tender offer for up to $1.47 billion of its 8% senior
secured notes due in 2017 and up to $1.32 billion of its 11% senior secured bonds
due 2018 showed valid tenders of 98.6% and 99.3%, respectively.

The chemical company last month said its Lyondell Chemical Co. would offer to buy
back up the debt as LyondellBasell strives to improve its credit rating.

LyondellBasell, which has significant operations in the U.S., has seen business
conditions and results improve across the vast majority of its business, notably
in the olefins and polyolefins and propylene oxide businesses. The company
emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last year.

Shares closed Wednesday at $33.21 and were inactive premarket. The stock is down
3.5% since the start of the year.
