46 Propylene Market Summary Shale gas revolution in North America and declining refining industry results in supply of propylene to be structurally short US propylene consumers lose competiveness, especially for PP, as Middle East and Asia continue to add PP investments Propylene supply gap will be filled with on-purpose technologies and demand moderation throughout the world Higher propylene feedstock prices will require PP to compete on properties more than cost, resulting in slower demand growth relative to history Other propylene derivatives (acrylonitrile, phenol, etc.) will be key price drivers of propylene. Polypropylene Caps

47 Potential Risks to U.S. Propylene Investments Overbuild of non-pp derivatives in other regions backs out U.S. exports Overbuild of new on-purpose production units causes RG to move back to the incremental supply Gas to crude parity Methanol to Propylene gains a large market share
