Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On November 7, 2011, Lyondell Chemical Company (“Lyondell”), a wholly owned subsidiary of
LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (the “Company”), accepted for purchase certain of its 8% Senior
Secured Dollar Notes due 2017, 8% Senior Secured Euro Notes due 2017, and 11% Senior Secured Notes
due 2018 tendered in its previously announced cash tender offer and consent solicitation.
The tender offer was oversubscribed with respect to each series of Notes; therefore, Lyondell has
accepted for purchase tendered Notes on a prorated basis. The following table sets forth the
original outstanding principal amount of each series of Notes included in the tender offer, the
principal amount of each such series that had been tendered and not withdrawn as of the early
tender/consent deadline, the principal amount accepted for purchase for each such series and the
approximate proration factor for each such series.

indentures governing the Notes have executed supplemental indentures to amend certain terms
included in the indentures. These amendments include the release of all of the collateral securing
the Notes and modification of other provisions relating to restrictive covenants, including removal
of the exception for certain existing shareholders from the current definition of change of control
contained in the indentures, increasing the Company’s capacity to make restricted payments, and
modifying and limiting the exceptions in the 8% Notes indenture related to the incurrence of liens.
The foregoing description of the supplemental indentures does not purport to be complete and
