(Attach extra Sheets if Needed)
Chemtura Corporation (the “Company”) is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K by March 16, 2006, and is therefore filing this extension for such filing until March 31, 2006. The Company will not file the Form 10-K because it cannot complete the preparation of its consolidated financial statements without unreasonable effort and expense. The delay in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements resulted from the added work necessitated by the Company’s merger with Great Lakes Chemical on July 1, 2005. The Company anticipates that it will file its Form 10-K prior to March 31, 2006.
