Letter from the Vice President

To our Valued Customers,

Advancements in our new product development effort as well as mergers and acquisitions over
the past several years has transformed Cytec’s business portfolio. These changes have created a
leading high growth specialty chemical business.

What does this mean for our mining customers? We continue to collaborate with you to address
challenges and meet them with our technology and products. With economic challenges,
changes in ore grades, and the demand for natural resources, Cytec is committed to finding
sustainable, quality solutions to help you keep up with these challenges.

To help meet the growing demand from our customers, Cytec has made significant investments
in our manufacturing assets to improve reliability and increase capacity. One of the most significant investments includes a
several hundred million dollar investment to expand our site in Niagara Falls, Canada. This site produces both mining products
and phosphine derivates. We are also investing in assets to increase R&D capabilities at other global sites.

We at Cytec want to help bring about solutions to your current and future operation’s success and we have a well balanced
portfolio of products and expertise that are unmatched. The major benefits of our products include increasing revenue
through improved production, reducing operating costs, and reducing capital expenditure to build new plants. We have a
significant focus on technology development and you can rely on Cytec to bring you the latest technology with our steady
stream of new products that ensures you always have the best option by partnering with Cytec.

In this edition, we highlight some of these new product advances. These include a scale controlling solution for phosphoric
acid product plants with our innovative PHOSFLOW® technology, an alternative to traditional hazardous modifiers with our
AERO® 7260 HFP, and nitration residence with our ACORGA® NR series reagents. We are also pleased to share that our MAX HT®
Bayer sodalite scale inhibitor was awarded the 2012 EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award.

I have been with Cytec for over 18 years and in many roles that have helped prepare me for my new role to lead the In
Process Separation business. Now, I am excited to lead a business that is focused on our valued customers and partners in
the mining industry. I am dedicated along with my team to provide you with the service and solutions you are looking for
