The following is a communication from Dan F. Smith, Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Lyondell Chemical Company, posted
on Lyondell's internal website to all employees.
To
: All
employees
From
: Dan
Smith
Over
the
past few weeks, we’ve made significant progress toward closing the
Lyondell-Basell transaction, and in planning for transition and integration
activities. The first of many important decisions has been made and, to the
extent possible, I want to share them with you as they occur.
First,
I
have been offered the position of Chairman of the new, combined company,
and I
am considering that opportunity. Additionally, Volker Trautz, currently CEO
of
Basell, has been offered, and has accepted, the position of CEO of the combined
company. Beginning next week, he will be in Houston meeting with many
Lyondell officers as he begins the process of setting up his new, post-close
organization.
Earlier
this week, Lyondell announced that our special shareholder meeting will take
place on Tuesday, Nov. 20, where shareholders will vote on the proposed merger
transaction. I know I can count on everyone involved to continue
working hard to complete the transaction.
I
will be
traveling for much of the next two weeks, working toward the close of the
transaction and preparing for a successful integration. As soon as I can,
I will
plan to meet with as many of you as possible. Until then, we all need to
keep in
mind our most important priorities: Keeping our eye on the ball – nothing is
more important than the continued safe, reliable operation of our business
– and
ensuring the success of the combined company.
Ultimately,
this merger is an acknowledgement of the tremendous accomplishments that
together we have achieved in building Lyondell over the years. As we work
with
Basell to build an even greater global leader, your continued contributions
will
be critical to assuring the success of the combined company.
As
the
Steering Team makes important decisions including organizational structure,
compensation philosophy, headquarters location and company name, we will
keep
you informed. In the meantime, please continue to dialog with your supervisor
and keep submitting inquiries to the “questions” mailbox.
Additional

In
connection with the solicitation of proxies by Lyondell Chemical Company
(the

to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a definitive
proxy statement. STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY ARE ADVISED TO READ THE
PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT AND THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT WHEN IT IS
