• On March 7, 2011, we completed a successful amendment to our credit agreement. Among other things, we extended the maturity date of $650 million of our Term Loan B by three years from April 2014 to April 2017 and increased the applicable margin on borrowing.
• On February 16, 2011, we announced our intent to increase the capacity of our Jurong Island, Singapore polyetheramine facility. We plan to invest approximately $70 million to increase the annual production capacity from 16,000 tons to approximately 56,000 tons. Over the next decade we expect demand for our amines to grow at least 10% per year in the Asia Pacific region.
