Exhibit 99.3

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for joining us earlier this morning in the global employee videoconference to discuss today’s announcement that Solutia has agreed to merge with Eastman Chemicals, a Fortune 500 company and a global manufacturer and marketer of chemicals, fibers and plastics.

I am confident this merger creates a world-class chemicals company and brings together two companies that share the same commitments to growth, innovation and employee development. Together Solutia and Eastman will create a leading global chemicals company with the financial strength, product mix and geographic reach to seize opportunities for long-term future growth.

As there should be, I’m certain there are many questions. Some will be answered today; many others will become clear as the merger is finalized over the next few months. Please see the below questions and answers for some of the information that will be helpful today and during this time.

I cannot stress enough that this agreement does not change our continued commitment to quality, service and the high-performance culture Solutia has built.

Jeff Quinn

Chairman, President and CEO
