Forward-Looking Statements Hexion Inc.

Certain statements in this presentation are forward-looking statements within the meaning of and made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition, our management may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “seek,” “intend” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future events and conditions and are based on currently available financial, economic and competitive data and our current business plans. Actual results could vary materially depending on risks and uncertainties that may affect our operations, markets, services, prices and other factors as discussed in the Risk Factors section of the offering circular and our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) incorporated by reference in the offering circular. While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements as it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, a weakening of global economic and financial conditions, interruptions in the supply of or increased cost of raw materials, the loss of, or difficulties with the further realization of, cost savings in connection with our strategic initiatives, including transactions with our affiliate, Momentive Performance Materials Inc., the impact of our substantial indebtedness, our failure to comply with financial covenants under our credit facilities or other debt, pricing actions by our competitors that could affect our operating margins, changes in governmental regulations and related compliance and litigation costs and the other factors listed in the Risk Factors section of the offering circular and our SEC filings incorporated by reference in the offering circular. For a more detailed discussion of these and other risk factors, see the Risk Factors section in the offering circular related to this offering, our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings made with the SEC and incorporated by reference into the offering circular. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary notice. The forward-looking statements made by us speak only as of the date on which they are made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

(1) Primarily represents costs related to the planned facility rationalization within the Epoxy, Phenolic and Coating Resins segment, as well as headcount reduction expenses and plant rationalization costs

related to cost reduction programs, termination costs, and other costs associated with business realignments.    

(2) Represents non-cash gains resulting from pension and postretirement benefit plan liability re-measurements.    

(3) Primarily includes certain professional fees related to strategic projects, retention program costs, business optimization expenses and management fees, partially offset by gains on the disposal of assets.

(4) Represents pro forma impact of in-process cost reduction programs savings. Cost reduction program savings represent the unrealized headcount reduction savings and plant rationalization savings

related to cost reduction programs and other unrealized savings associated with the Company’s business realignments activities, and represent our estimate of the unrealized savings from such initiatives

that would have been realized had the related actions been completed at the beginning of the LTM period. The savings are calculated based on actual costs of exiting headcount and elimination or

reduction of site costs. See “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Business – We expect additional cost savings from our other strategic initiatives, and if we are unable t achieve these cost savings or

sustain our current cost structure, it could have a material adverse effect on our business operations, results of operations, and financial condition,” which is incorporated by reference in the offering

circular.    

(5) Represents pro forma LTM Adjusted EBITDA impact of the PAC and HAI dispositions, which both occurred during the second quarter of 2016.    

(6) Reflects pro forma interest expense based on interest rates at September 30, 2016, as if the 2016 Debt Transactions had taken place at the beginning of the period.    

(7) The Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, among other actions, is restricted under the indentures governing certain notes, unless the Company has an Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges

ratio of 2.0 to 1.0. As of September 30, 2016, we did not satisfy this test. As a result, we are subject to restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness and to make investments; however, there

are exceptions to these restrictions, including exceptions that permit indebtedness under our ABL Facility (available borrowings of which were $324 at September 30, 2016).

This presentation contains non-GAAP financial information. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC rules. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent any measure of earnings or cash flow in accordance with

US GAAP and the calculation and use of this measure may differ from other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered

an alternative to operating income or net income (loss) under US GAAP to evaluate results of operations or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.    20
