years. At the end of this new development phase, in 2015, Arkema has the

Group cost structure was significantly improved and the business portfolio was
successfully repositioned on high added value products with a better
geographical footprint.

the ambition to build one of the global industry leaders. Innovation, faster
growth in emerging countries and bolt on acquisitions will be the main
components of this development project. In 2015, Group sales should total around
?7.5 bln (1) versus around ?5.8 bln in end 2010.
