Crompton Granted Conditional
Amnesty in Nitrile Rubber Investigation
http://ir.thomsonfn.com/InvestorRelations/PubNewsStory.aspx?partner=3933&storyId=100280
Crompton Corporation (NYSE:CK) today announced that it is
cooperating with competition authorities in the U.S., Canada and
the European Union that are investigating possible
anticompetitive activities by manufacturers of nitrile rubber.
Crompton Corporation and its relevant affiliates have received
assurances of conditional amnesty from each of these authorities
with regard to criminal prosecution and fines with respect to
nitrile rubber. Amnesty is conditioned upon several factors,
including the company's continued cooperation with the
authorities.
Crompton acquired its nitrile rubber business in 1996 when the
company completed a merger with Uniroyal
Chemical Corporation. In
1998, Crompton put its nitrile rubber business into a
joint venture and subsequently sold its interest in the joint
venture in December 2001.
The joint venture had 2001 sales of approximately $30 million.
Crompton Corporation, with annual sales from continuing
operations of approximately $2.2 billion, is a producer and
marketer of specialty chemicals and polymer products providing
the solutions, service and value its customers need to succeed.

Crompton acquired its nitrile rubber business in 1996 with its merger with Uniroyal Chemical Corp, and would later form a joint venture for the business with Desc SA before selling its stake in 2001.
