FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LyondellBasell Announces Retirement of CEO Jim Gallogly
HOUSTON and LONDON (September 29, 2014) LyondellBasell (NYSE: LYB) announced today that Chief Executive Officer James L. Gallogly will retire from the
company in early 2015. Gallogly will continue to serve as CEO and chairman of the LyondellBasell management board in the interim to ensure an orderly transition pending the selection of his replacement. The LyondellBasell supervisory board of
directors has formed a committee to choose Galloglys successor.
In May 2014, shareholders approved the expansion of the companys management
board, chaired by Gallogly, to include Craig B. Glidden, executive vice president and chief legal officer, Karyn F. Ovelmen, executive vice president and chief financial officer, Bhavesh (Bob) V. Patel, executive vice president
Olefins & PolyolefinsEAI and Technology, Timothy D. Roberts, executive vice president Olefins & Polyolefins Americas, and Patrick D. Quarles, senior vice president Intermediates and Derivatives. The
management board members were elected to four-year terms to ensure continued strong leadership and executive continuity at the company. The entire management board has demonstrated exceptional business leadership and I am confident the
transition will be seamless, Gallogly said.
Under Jims leadership, LyondellBasell successfully emerged from bankruptcy in record time
and today is an industry leader with a very strong balance sheet and strategically positioned manufacturing facilities, said Robert G. Gwin, chairman of the LyondellBasell supervisory board. The supervisory board is grateful to Jim for
his exceptional contributions to the company. As the company moves forward, we will build on the solid foundation Jim created by continuing to focus on safety, cost control, taking maximum advantage of market opportunities and by investing in
technology-driven growth, he added.
There is never a perfect time to leave a company with as much promise as LyondellBasell, but this is the
right time for me, Gallogly said. Having achieved the goals that I set for myself professionally and for the company, I feel its time to move on to the next chapter, putting a

priority on my family and philanthropic efforts. The company is at a point where the successful strategies and strong leadership team we have in place are poised to take full advantage of the
favorable industry conditions that are expected for the foreseeable future. I truly believe the companys best days lie ahead.
