On
August 4, 2010, the Board of Directors (the Board) of Huntsman
Corporation (the Company), upon the recommendation of its Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee, acted to increase the size of the Board from
nine directors to 10 directors. On the same date, also upon the recommendation
of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board appointed Sir

vacancy created by the expansion of the Board and will serve as a
Class III director for a term that expires at the Companys 2013 Annual

In addition, Sir Robert was not selected as a director pursuant to any
arrangements or understandings with the Company or with any other person.

supplemental retainers for the chairs and members of Board committees.
