(1)          

We own 50% of BASF Huntsman Shanghai Isocyanate Investment BV. BASF Huntsman Shanghai Isocyanate Investment BV owns a 70% interest in SLIC, thus giving us an indirect 35% interest in SLIC.

(2)          

As of April 1, 2015, we no longer exercise significant influence in our investment in Nippon Aqua Co., Ltd., for which we previously accounted using the equity method. Consequently, we now account for this investment at fair value as an available-for-sale equity security. See "Note 16. Fair Value."
