Additions to property, plant and equipment from January to September 2009 arose from a number of investments. The most significant additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets resulted from the acquisition of Ciba Holding AG. Other additions are the expansion of synthesis gas plants in Ludwigshafen, the construction of natural gas pipelines, the construction of a resins plant in Wyandotte, Michigan, and a polyol plant in Geismar, Louisiana.
