Item 8.01. Other Events.

     LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to revise the historical financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 10-K”) and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 (the “First Quarter 10-Q”) to include a footnote (the “Guarantors Footnote”) in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements that provides supplemental guarantor financial information pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X.

     The condensed consolidating information in the Guarantors Footnote is required as a result of the expected registration under the U.S. federal securities laws of certain senior secured notes issued by Lyondell Chemical Company (“Lyondell”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, that have been guaranteed by the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Guarantors Footnote includes summarizing financial information for the parent company, Lyondell as a subsidiary issuer, the subsidiary guarantors on a combined basis and the non-guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis

     These revised historical financial statements are filed as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and, in each case, have been updated, in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles, solely to include the Guarantors Footnote and are incorporated herein by reference.

     Except as described above, we have not modified or updated other disclosures contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the 2010 10-K or the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) included in the First Quarter 10-Q. Accordingly, this Form 8-K, with the exception of the foregoing, does not reflect events occurring after the date of filing of the 2010 10-K or First Quarter 10-Q or modify or update disclosures affected by subsequent events. Consequently, all other information not affected by the additions described above is unchanged and reflects the disclosures and other information made at the dates of the filing of the 2010 10-K and First Quarter 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with our filings with the SEC subsequent to such dates, including amendments to such filings, if any.
