serving South America. ZCLP has grown steadily since 1989 and has renewed its
efforts to promote growth by implementing the ZEON Innovation Process with theaim of driving new product development and new applications for ZEON polymers.
The latest example of ZCLP's continued growth is the expansion of acrylic rubber
production capacity in the Kentucky Plant which will be completed in 2013.

Kentucky Plant

1. Environmental Impact Reduction at ZCLP
ZCLP is committed to applying cutting edge technology in cooperation with its suppliers and partners to reduce theenvironmental footprint of manufacturing operations. The successful startup in 2012 of a biomass fuelled steam
generating plant supplying the Kentucky Plant has significantly reduced the plant's reliance on fossil fuels. Inaddition, ZCLP's Mississippi Plant is producing epichlorohydrin rubber from naturally sourced monomer derived frompalm and other vegetable oils. ZCLP is convinced that the drive toward sustainability is not only socially responsible,
it's also smart business.

2. Health and Wellness of Employees
Although safety in the work place is a key focus of ZCLP improvement activities, the individual health and wellnessof employees resulting from their personal lifestyle choices is also a significant concern. Several key initiatives are in
progress to assist employees in managing their wellness. One significant program has been assistance in smoking
cessation for employees and their spouses. Volunteer smoking cessation groups have been meeting routinely tolearn techniques for achieving and maintaining tobacco free lifestyles as well as to receive support andencouragement from fellow employees going through the process. The success stories of those who have "kickedthe habit" have been an inspiration and are helping to drive the health and wellness culture ZCLP has beenpromoting for the benefit of employees and their families.

ZEON Chemicals L.P. has continued its long standing involvement in the local Louisville, KY, community throughvarious employee volunteer activities in support of the local public schools. In appreciation of this effort, theJefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) has nominated ZEON and its local corporate partners for the Republic BankWe CARE Award. The We CARE Award is a prestigious local award given to provide recognition and appreciation tolocal companies whose employees are doing great things for the local communities. The award was created to
publicly congratulate companies who stress the four elements contained in the We CARE name itself - Community,Activity, Recognition and Enterprise. Although the award is appreciated, the sentiment of ZCLP employee volunteers
is that the personal satisfaction they received from helping the school kids is reward enough.
