ECU Netback* Environment
• December caustic price increase of $75/ton is being implemented
• Implementation will take place through April
• An additional increase of $80 has been announced in February
• ECU Netbacks have risen from Q3 2009 trough levels
• Significant capacity reductions have occurred (Dow’s Oyster Creek,
TX closure of 396,000 tons) and may continue as older plants will soon
require significant investment of capital

• Caustic imports from China have dropped dramatically since first half
of the year with North American supply/demand roughly in balance

Why Industrial Bleach?
• Olin is the leading North American bleach producer with a
capacity of 250 million gallons (160,000 ECUs) in a 1 billion
gallon industry, with low-cost expansion opportunities
capacity of 250 million gallons (160,000 ECUs) in a 1 billion
gallon industry, with low-cost expansion opportunities
• Utilizes both chlorine and caustic soda in an ECU ratio
• Commands a $100 to $200/ton premium over ECU prices
• Demand is not materially impacted by economic cycles
• Regional nature of bleach business benefits Olin’s
geographic diversity, further enhanced by Olin’s proprietary
railcar technology to reach more distant customers

Mercury Legislation
• On October 21, 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives
Committee on Energy and Commerce passed a bill that
would require chlor-alkali producers using mercury cell
technology to decide by 6/30/12 whether they would shut
down or convert those plants. The plants would need to be
shut down by 6/30/13 or converted by 6/30/15.
