– Segment EBITDA (1) of $46 million compared to $125 million in prior year quarter
The Company has announced aggressive actions to address the EBITDA decline and enhance liquidity
– Hexion is pursuing ~$100 million in incremental cost reduction programs, an increase versus the
previously-announced target of $60 million
– The Company is taking additional actions to further improve cash flow, including: reducing discretionary
spending; decreasing targeted FY09 capital spending to $111 million; and lowering inventory levels
Year-end 2008 pro forma adjusted EBITDA of $596 million and an interest coverage ratio of 2.41 (1)
On December 14, 2008, Hexion Specialty Chemicals, Inc. entered into a settlement agreement with Huntsman
Corporation (NYSE: HUN) (“Huntsman”) and other parties
– Affiliate of Apollo agreed to make a $200 million investment in Hexion
Hexion is Responding Aggressively to the Unprecedented Downturn in Market Conditions
(1) Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. The closest GAAP financial measure is Net Income (Loss). A table that reconciles these two measures is at the end of this
presentation. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is meaningful to investors because the Company is required to have an Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges ratio of greater than 2.0 to 1.0 to incur
additional indebtedness under its indenture for the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes. As of December 31, 2008, the Company was able to satisfy this covenant and incur additional indebtedness under
its indentures. December 31, 2008 Adjusted EBITDA includes $119 million of in-process Hexion synergies and productivity savings.

12. Update Related to the Huntsman Litigation Settlement Agreement
As previously announced, on December 14, 2008, the Company entered into a
settlement agreement and release with Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN)
(“Huntsman”) and certain other parties with respect to litigation relating to the
Huntsman merger agreement. Under the settlement agreement:
– Hexion paid Huntsman a $325 million termination fee, as required by the
merger agreement
– Hexion paid Huntsman $225 million, reserving all rights with respect to
reallocation of the payment to certain other affiliates of Apollo
– Certain affiliates of Apollo paid Huntsman $200 million, reserving all rights with
respect to reallocation of the payment to certain other affiliates of Apollo
– Certain affiliates of Apollo purchased $250 million of Huntsman’s 7%
convertible senior notes (See filed termination agreement.)
Also, affiliates of Apollo committed to a $200 million investment in Hexion
The termination fee was borrowed by Hexion LLC. The $325 million termination fee
loan is a six-year loan to Hexion LLC with a payment in kind (PIK) provision that
enables Hexion LLC, at its option, to accrue the interest at intervals during the term
loan in lieu of paying cash interest payments
– Since the borrowing was made by Hexion’s parent, the Company’s
cash flow and debt covenant calculations are not impacted

13. Q109 Outlook and 2009 Actions
The Company expects a recession throughout 2009 and possibly beyond
The Company is leveraging the cash management expertise that it has acquired through 14 years of
private equity ownership
Hexion is focused on achieving its unrealized synergy and productivity initiatives, as well as liquidity-
enhancing actions
Cash preservation actions, include:
– Reduction of safety stock to reduce inventories
– Various productivity initiatives, such as utility and processing actions
– Lowering FY09 capital expenditure target by 17 percent compared to FY08 spend
– Weekly senior management reviews of global demand as certain plants remain idled until
demand improves
– Monthly working capital reviews led by senior management
– Acceleration of collection of accounts receivable through factoring
Q109 volumes remain weak reflecting the general industrial environment
Hexion expects first quarter volumes and operating margins to be in line with the fourth quarter 2008
results
Strategically leveraging Apollo’s $200 million equity commitment
Despite economic headwinds, the Company is making selective investments in high-growth markets
– Two international Forest Product manufacturing facilities coming online in 2H09

20. Balance Sheet Update & Financial Summary
Productivity initiatives, along with expected decreases in raw material costs in first half of 2009,
should further boost efforts to improve working capital
– Working capital at December 31, 2008 was $679 million, a decrease of $80 million from
December 31, 2007.
FY08 capital expenditures totaled $134 million, which included $13 million invested in a new
plant currently under construction in Brazil, versus the original FY08 guidance of $150 million
Aggressively managing capital expenditures
– Adjusting 2009 capital expenditure target downward to ~ $110 million
– FY09 maintenance and environmental capital expenditures are estimated to be
approximately 60 percent of 2009 target
Liquidity: cash plus borrowing availability of $418 million at December 31, 2008, which includes
the $200 million Apollo commitment to Hexion
No significant debt maturities until 2013
Net Debt: $3.7 billion (12/31/08)

21. Hexion Benefits from Long-Dated Maturities and
Liquidity Commitment
Hexion has limited short term debt service requirements and no
immediate refinancing risks
Debt Maturities
$325 million termination debt facility has no impact on Hexion’s
covenant calculations or the Company’s short and medium term
cash flows
– Debt was borrowed by Hexion’s parent on an unsecured $2,200
basis and contributed to Hexion to pay the termination fee
$2,000
– Debt has a PIK provision for the payment of interest. This
eliminates any debt service requirements until maturity in $1,800
2014.
$1,600
– Operating Company does not guarantee the debt

23. Summary: Hexion Fourth Quarter & FY08 Results
Hexion’s fourth quarter 2008 results reflected recessionary end market conditions
and significant inventory destocking by customers
Full-year sales gain of 5% driven by product, customer and geographic diversity,
as well as raw material contractual pass-through capabilities
While global market conditions continued to soften during Q408, Hexion is
carefully managing the restart of facilities in light of first quarter 2009 volume
softness
Based on operating trends to date in the first quarter of 2009, the Company
expects first quarter volumes and operating margins to be in line with the fourth
quarter of 2008
Hexion announced increased productivity savings of ~ $100 million focused on
improving operational efficiencies
– Additional savings measures under evaluation
The Company has taken a number of actions intended to enhance liquidity
for 2009
Management team is experienced in operating in a cash-driven environment
Hexion posted a December 31, 2008 pro forma adjusted EBITDA of $596 million
