Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement; 8.01 Other Events.

On June 15, 2012, Lyondell Chemical Company (“LCC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (the “Company”), redeemed all of its outstanding 8% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “8% Notes”). Immediately before the redemption, $10,454,000 aggregate principal amount of dollar-denominated 8% Notes were outstanding and €1,384,290 aggregate principal amount of euro-denominated 8% Notes were outstanding.

Also on June 15, 2012, LCC redeemed all of its outstanding 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “11% Notes”). Immediately before the redemption, $57,858,737 aggregate principal amount of 11% Notes was outstanding.

The redemption price for the 8% Notes and 11% Notes was 100% of the aggregate principal amount redeemed plus the applicable premium as provided for in the respective indentures.

As a result of these redemptions, no 8% Notes or 11% Notes remain outstanding and therefore, all of the guarantees of the Company’s outstanding 6% Senior Notes due 2021, 5% Senior Notes due 2019 and 5.75% Senior Notes due 2024 by the Company’s subsidiaries have been automatically released as of June 15, 2012.
