UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On December 5, 2014, Eastman Chemical Company ("Eastman" or the "Company") completed its previously announced acquisition of Taminco Corporation ("Taminco"), through the merger (the "Acquisition") of Stella Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), with and into Taminco, with Taminco surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Acquisition was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of September 11, 2014, by and among the Company, Merger Sub, and Taminco.

At the effective time of the Acquisition (the "Effective Time"), each share of Taminco common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares pursuant to which dissenters' rights have been properly exercised) was canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, $26.00 in cash (the "Consideration").

Also at the Effective Time, each outstanding option to acquire shares of Taminco common stock issued under any of Taminco's equity incentive plans, whether or not vested, was converted into the right to receive, in cash and for each share of Taminco common stock subject to such option, the amount by which the value of the Consideration exceeded such option's exercise price.

The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Financial Position (the "Pro Forma Balance Sheet") as of September 30, 2014 combines the historical consolidated statements of financial position of Eastman and Taminco, giving effect to the Acquisition as if it had been completed on September 30, 2014. The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Earnings (the "Pro Forma Income Statements") for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013 combine the historical consolidated statements of earnings of Eastman and Taminco, giving effect to the Acquisition as if it had been completed on January 1, 2013, the beginning of the earliest period presented (together the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the "Statements").

The accompanying Statements and related notes were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with Eastman considered the acquirer of Taminco. Accordingly, the $2.8 billion of consideration paid to complete the Acquisition has been preliminarily allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities of Taminco based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The Consideration transferred to complete the Acquisition in excess of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recognized as goodwill in Eastman's Pro Forma Balance Sheet. As of the date hereof, Eastman has not completed the detailed valuation work necessary to finalize estimates of the fair value of the Taminco assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and the related allocation of purchase price. The preliminary purchase price allocation has been made solely for the purpose of preparing the accompanying Statements. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited pro forma purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed as part of the completion of the detailed valuation work. Changes in the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may result in adjustments to Eastman's statement of financial position and statements of earnings until the purchase price allocation is finalized. Such finalization may result in material changes from the preliminary purchase price allocation included in the accompanying Statements.

Eastman expects to incur costs and achieve cost and revenue synergies in connection with integrating the operations of Eastman and Taminco. The accompanying Statements do not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies or any revenue or other synergies expected to result from the Acquisition. In addition, certain non-recurring items, such as transaction costs directly attributable to the Acquisition, have been excluded from the Pro Forma Income Statement. See Note 4, Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Earnings. However, the transaction costs are reflected in the accompanying Pro Forma Balance Sheet as a decrease to both cash and to retained earnings.

The accompanying Statements and related notes are being provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated financial position of Eastman would have been had the Acquisition occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of Eastman's future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. The Statements are based upon currently available information and estimates and assumptions that Eastman management believes are reasonable as of the date hereof. Any of the factors underlying these estimates and assumptions may change or prove to be materially different upon finalization of the valuation work.

Exhibit 99.3

The accompanying Statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Eastman and Taminco contained in their respective Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2014 and the audited consolidated financial statements of Eastman and Taminco contained in their respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

The historical consolidated financial statements of Taminco presented herein have been adjusted by condensing and disaggregating certain line items in order to conform with Eastman's financial statement presentation. The historical Taminco financial information includes the results of operations of the formic acid business of Kemira Iyj, which Taminco acquired for approximately $180 million, net of cash acquired, on March 6, 2014 from such date.

Exhibit 99.3

NOTE 1.    DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION

On December 5, 2014, Eastman Chemical Company ("Eastman" or the “Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition of Taminco Corporation (“Taminco”), through the merger (the "Acquisition”) of Stella Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), with and into Taminco, with Taminco surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Acquisition was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of September 11, 2014, by and among the Company, Merger Sub, and Taminco.


NOTE 2.    BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

The Statements have been derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of Eastman and Taminco. Certain financial statement line items included in Taminco’s historical presentation have been disaggregated or condensed to conform to corresponding financial statement line items included in Eastman's historical presentation. These include: transaction and integration costs included in selling, general and administrative expense instead of other operating income; current deferred income tax assets, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and income tax receivable, which have been condensed into other current assets; capitalized debt issuance costs, net, which has been presented as other noncurrent assets; trade payables, income taxes payable, other current liabilities, and current deferred income tax liabilities, which have been condensed into payables and other current liabilities.

Additionally, as part of its financial due diligence review of Taminco and preliminary valuation work, Eastman performed certain procedures for the purpose of identifying any material differences in significant accounting policies between Eastman and Taminco, and any accounting adjustments that would be required in connection with adopting uniform policies. Procedures performed by Eastman involved a review of Taminco’s publicly disclosed summary of significant accounting policies, including those disclosed in Taminco’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and discussion with Taminco management regarding Taminco’s significant accounting policies to identify material adjustments. While Eastman management expects to continue to evaluate the impact of Taminco’s accounting policies on its historical results, based on the completed procedures, Eastman management does not believe there are any differences in the accounting policies of Taminco and Eastman that will result in material adjustments to the Eastman's consolidated financial statements as a result of conforming Taminco’s accounting policies to those of Eastman. Additionally, sales between Eastman and Taminco were considered immaterial for adjustment to sales and earnings from continuing operations.

The Acquisition is reflected in the Statements as an acquisition of Taminco by Eastman using the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with business combination accounting guidance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Under these accounting standards, the total purchase price was calculated as described in Note 3 to the Statements, and the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed have been presented at their preliminary estimated fair value. For the purpose of measuring the preliminary estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, Eastman has applied the accounting guidance under GAAP for fair value measurements. This guidance establishes the framework for measuring fair value for any asset acquired or liability assumed under GAAP. Fair value is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date”. This is an exit price concept for the valuation of an asset or liability. Market participants are assumed to be buyers or sellers in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurement for an asset assumes the highest and best use by these market participants, and as a result, assets may be required to be recognized which are not intended to be used or sold or to be valued at a fair value measurement that do not reflect management’s intended use for those assets. Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is possible the application of reasonable judgment could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances.

The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are based upon available information and certain assumptions which management believes are reasonable under the circumstances and which are described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Management believes the fair values recognized for the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed are based on reasonable estimates and assumptions. Preliminary fair value estimates may change as additional information becomes available and such changes could be material.


6

Exhibit 99.3

NOTE 3.    CONSIDERATION TRANSFERRED

The Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their acquisition date fair value, with any excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired recorded as goodwill.
At the Effective Time, each share of Taminco common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares pursuant to which dissenters’ rights have been properly exercised) was canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, $26.00 in cash. Taminco had 68.6 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time.
Also at the Effective Time, each outstanding option to acquire shares of Taminco common stock issued under any of Taminco’s equity incentive plans, whether or not then vested, was converted into the right to receive, in cash and for each share of Taminco common stock subject to such option, the amount by which the value of the Consideration exceeded such option’s exercise price.

In addition, $1.1 billion of pre-acquisition Taminco indebtedness, including accrued interest and redemption premium, was repaid, redeemed, or otherwise terminated by the Company.

Based on the number of shares of Taminco common stock, the number of options to purchase Taminco common stock, and the amount of outstanding debt repaid, Eastman paid $2.8 billion, net of cash acquired in cash to complete the Acquisition.

The purchase price and the allocation of the estimated purchase price below are preliminary. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined at a later date and is dependent on a number of factors, including the final evaluation of the fair value of Taminco’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such final adjustments, including increases or decreases to amortization resulting from the allocation of purchase price to amortizable tangible and intangible assets, may be material. The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:

Eastman used the income, market, or cost approach (or a combination thereof) for the preliminary valuation of assets, as appropriate, and used valuation inputs in these models and analyses that were based on market participant assumptions. Market participants are considered to be buyers and sellers unrelated to Eastman in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset. For all liabilities, the carrying value was determined to be a reasonable approximation of fair value based on information available to Eastman management.

With respect to properties acquired in the Acquisition, Taminco had a number of manufacturing and distribution sites and related facilities, owned land and leased sites that included leasehold improvements, and owned machinery and equipment for use in its manufacturing operations. The preliminary fair value of acquired properties was determined using a cost approach supported where available by observable market data which includes consideration of obsolescence. Based on the valuation approach, Eastman management preliminarily estimated the fair value of acquired properties to be $658 million.


7

Exhibit 99.3

With respect to the intangible assets acquired in the Acquisition, Taminco owned significant technology related to many of its products protected by a number of existing patents and trade secrets. This intellectual property is of significant importance to Taminco's operations and continued success. In addition to these intangible assets, Taminco had a number of valuable customer relationships in industries such as agriculture and personal and home care, many of which were developed over a number of years of providing consistent quality products and services. A preliminary review of material contracts shows that Taminco also had a favorable methanol supply contract which is an intangible asset. The preliminary fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined primarily using an income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Specifically, customer relationships were valued using the excess from earnings method and developed technology was valued using the relief from royalty method. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of the identifiable intangible asset valuations, from the perspective of a market participant, include the estimated revenues that will be received for each product, the appropriate discount rate selected in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the royalty rate, as well as other factors. No assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change or the timely completion of each project to commercial success will occur. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results. Based on the income approach Eastman management preliminarily estimated the fair value of acquired intangible assets to be $985 million.

With respect to goodwill recognized in the Acquisition, Eastman management believes that the predominant portion of the goodwill relates to Taminco as a going concern and the fair value of expected synergies from combining the Eastman and Taminco businesses.

The going concern element represents the ability to earn a higher return on the combined assembled collection of assets and businesses of Taminco than if those assets and businesses were to be acquired separately. The synergies from the combination of Eastman and Taminco are expected to be in the form of both increased revenues and decreased costs. Revenue synergies are expected to arise from cross-selling opportunities. Eastman management believes that the Acquisition will help Eastman accelerate growth programs in personal care and oil and gas, and the reverse opportunity for the acquired Taminco business in coatings. Cost synergies are expected to arise from reduction of corporate costs, raw material costs and procurement savings, and manufacturing and supply chain processes efficiency improvements and cost reductions across a larger business. Other relevant elements of goodwill are expected to include work force and technology and customers expected post-acquisition. The accompanying Statements do not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies, or any revenue or other synergies expected to result from the Acquisition.

With respect to probable loss contingencies considered in the preparation of the preliminary purchase price allocation, based on the information available to Eastman at the time of preparation of the Statements, Eastman management concluded that adjustments related to environmental matters and asset retirement obligations were appropriate. The changes for environmental and asset retirement obligations resulted from the valuation performed as of the Effective Time.

Eastman has made preliminary allocation estimates based on limited information obtained during due diligence and since the Effective Time. The final determination of the purchase price allocation will be determined during the measurement period as provided in GAAP. Eastman anticipates that the valuations of the acquired assets and liabilities will include, but not be limited to, inventory, fixed assets, customer relationships, technology know how, and other potential intangible assets. The valuations will consist of physical appraisals, discounted cash flow analyses, or other appropriate valuation techniques to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Acquisition could differ materially from the preliminary amounts presented in these Statements. A decrease in the fair value of assets acquired or an increase in the fair value of liabilities assumed in the Acquisition from those preliminary valuations presented in these Statements would result in a dollar-for-dollar corresponding increase in the amount of goodwill that results from the Acquisition. In addition, if the value of the acquired assets is higher than the preliminary indication, it may result in higher amortization and depreciation expense than is presented in these Statements. See Note 4(a) for the effects of changes in estimated fair value of properties and amortizable intangible assets acquired in the Acquisition on the calculation of pro forma depreciation and amortization expense.

NOTE 4.
ADJUSTMENTS TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited pro forma adjustments included in the Statements are as follows:

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Earnings

(a)
Depreciation and amortization

Based on the preliminary estimated fair value of properties, a fair value step up of $75 million from historical cost as of September 30, 2014 has been assumed. Depreciation expense has been calculated based on depreciable lives consistent with the Company's policy as outlined in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2013. Historical depreciation for first nine months 2014 included $9 million from Taminco's formic acid acquisition resulting in historical depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 that exceeds pro forma depreciation. See Note 4(h) for further information on acquired properties.

The pro forma depreciation expense adjustments have been allocated to cost of sales, and selling, general, and administrative expenses, as follows:

Based on the preliminary estimated fair value of intangible assets, a fair value step up of $487 million from historical cost as of September 30, 2014 has been assumed. Amortization expense has been calculated based on lives that were determined using undiscounted cash flows and reflect on a straight-line basis the periods over which the assets are expected to provide economic benefit. Historical amortization for first nine months 2014 included $1 million from Taminco's formic acid acquisition.

The pro forma amortization expense adjustments have been allocated to cost of sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses, and research and development, as follows:

Net interest expense

Prior to but in preparation for the Acquisition, Eastman issued $800 million of 2.7% notes due 2020, $800 million of 3.8% notes due 2025, and $400 million 4.65% notes due 2044 (the "Notes"). In addition, Eastman borrowed $1.0 billion under the Company’s Five-Year Senior Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated October 9, 2014 (the “Term Loan”). The proceeds from the Notes and the Term Loan borrowing were used to pay a portion of the Consideration. Eastman incurred $17 million in financing costs associated with the Notes and the Term Loan, of which $2 million were paid and capitalized on the historical balance sheet as of September 30, 2014. These costs have been included in other noncurrent assets and amortized into earnings over the term of the related borrowing.

In connection with the Acquisition amounts owed by Taminco under its USD and EUR Term loan Credit Facilities and Taminco’s Second Priority Senior Secured 9.75% Notes, $1,016 million of pre-acquisition debt were repaid, redeemed or otherwise terminated.

The unaudited pro forma adjustment to net interest expense is calculated as follows:

The Company calculated pro forma interest expense for nine months ended September 30, 2014 using an average outstanding term loan balance of $950 million. A 0.125% change in the interest rate on borrowings would change annual pro forma interest expense by approximately $1 million.

The Notes were issued at a discount. Accretion of the Notes to par value is included in pro forma interest expense for nine months ended September 30, 2014 and year ended December 31, 2013. Eastman incurred $17 million in financing costs associated with the Notes and the Term Loan, of which $2 million had been paid and capitalized prior to the September 30, 2014 historical balance sheet. For pro forma purposes all of the financing costs have been included in other non-current assets and amortized into earnings over the term of the related borrowing. For nine months ended September 30, 2014 accretion and financing costs of $2.7 million have been included in pro forma interest expense. For year ended December 31, 2013, accretion and financing costs of $3.6 million have been included in pro forma interest expense.

The pro forma tax impact on the above adjustments was calculated using the statutory rate applicable to the local jurisdiction where the adjustment is expected to be made.

During third quarter 2014, Taminco's evaluation of their tax position and completion of their 2013 Federal tax returns resulted in Taminco claiming foreign tax credits rather than deducting foreign taxes. Consequently, Taminco recorded a benefit for the current and prior year foreign tax credits and in addition revalued certain of its deferred tax assets and liabilities related to entities where it could not defer U.S. taxation to reflect this change. This resulted in Taminco recording a discrete tax benefit of $21 million during third quarter 2014.

(e)
Early debt extinguishment costs

Early debt extinguishment costs of $12 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 have been eliminated. See Note 4(l) for additional detail concerning estimated long-term debt.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Financial Position

Components of the adjustment include an increase in cash resulting from debt incurred in connection with the Acquisition and a decrease in cash resulting from payment of the Consideration, and transaction related costs which are advisory costs directly related to the Acquisition that were cash settled subsequent to September 30, 2014.

(g)
Inventories

The unaudited pro forma adjustment of $1 million represents the step-up of Taminco's September 30, 2014 inventories balance to the preliminary estimated fair value of approximately $144 million. As raw materials inventory was assumed to be at market value, the adjustment is related to finished goods inventory. The preliminary fair value of finished goods inventory acquired was determined based on procedures performed during preliminary detailed valuation work which included analysis of selling prices, costs to sell, and gross profit on selling costs as of the Effective Time. Assumptions used were derived from historical financial information publicly disclosed by Taminco as well as discussions with Taminco management and Eastman's experience with recent acquisitions. The Pro Forma Income Statement does not reflect the impact of the increase to cost of sales of $1 million of the estimated purchase accounting adjustment as this amount is directly related to the Acquisition and is not expected to have a continuing impact.

(h)
Properties

The unaudited pro forma adjustment of $75 million represents the step-up of Taminco’s net properties as of September 30, 2014 to the preliminary estimated fair value of $658 million as of September 30, 2014. Properties acquired included a number of manufacturing, sales, and distribution sites and related facilities, land and leased sites that include leasehold improvements, and machinery and equipment for use in manufacturing operations.  Management valued properties using the cost approach supported where available by observable market data which includes consideration of obsolescence.

To determine the preliminary estimated weighted average useful life of the properties acquired, Eastman's considered its stated accounting policy and established depreciable lives by major asset class according to the policy.

See Note 3 for details regarding the preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from those presented herein on the calculation of goodwill.

(j)
Identifiable intangible assets

The preliminary estimate of fair value for the acquired intangible assets is $985 million. Acquired intangible assets are definite-lived assets and consist primarily of customer relationships, contracts, and developed technologies. Customer relationships acquired are in industries such as agriculture and personal and home care. A preliminary review of material contracts shows a favorable methanol supply contract. In addition, assets acquired include technologies related to many of its products protected by a number of existing patents and trade secrets. Management valued customer relationships using the excess from earnings method, contracts using the cost method, and developed technology using the relief from royalty method. All valuation methods are forms of the income approach supported by observable market data for peer chemical companies.

Retained earnings were reduced for transaction costs, net of tax, that were cash settled subsequent to September 30, 2014. These estimated transaction costs have been excluded from the Pro Forma Income Statement as they reflect charges directly attributable to the Acquisition that will not have an ongoing impact on Eastman. No transaction costs related to the Acquisition were expensed or accrued by either Eastman or Taminco in their 2013 historical financial statements. Actual transaction costs expensed by Eastman and Taminco during first nine months 2014 have been eliminated from the Pro Forma Income Statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. See Note 4(b).

NOTE 5.    NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to evaluating financial condition and results of operations in accordance with GAAP, management also reviews and evaluates certain alternative financial measures not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures do not have definitions under GAAP and may be defined differently by and not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by, other companies. As a result, management considers and evaluates non-GAAP measures in connection with a review of the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management cautions investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures, but also to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Eastman management evaluates and analyzes results and the impact on Eastman of strategic decisions and actions relating to, among other things, transactions, cost reduction, growth and profitability improvement initiatives, and other events outside of core business operations, by considering financial results and measures both including and excluding certain items. The items excluded by Eastman management in its evaluation of results do not directly arise from Eastman's core operations, and generally are expected to be of a non-core or non-recurring nature. Because these non-core or non-recurring costs and gains may materially affect Eastman's financial condition or results in a specific period in which they are recognized, management also evaluates, and makes resource allocation and performance evaluation decisions based on, the related non-GAAP measures excluding such items. In addition to using such measures to evaluate results in a specific period, management believes that such measures may provide more complete and consistent comparisons of Eastman's operational performance on a period-over-period historical basis and a better indication of expected future trends.

Details of excluded items are in Eastman's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2014 and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2014. Additionally, Eastman management reviewed Taminco's financial information for the periods ended September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 and excluded items similar to those typically excluded by Eastman. These measures are presented below for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013.
