</B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">ArcelorMittal, including its subsidiaries, is the world&#146;s leading integrated steel and mining company. With an annual
production capacity of approximately 125&nbsp;million tonnes of crude steel, ArcelorMittal had sales of $45.2 billion, steel shipments of 43.9&nbsp;million tonnes, crude steel production of 45.6&nbsp;million tonnes, iron ore production of
33.4&nbsp;million tonnes and coal production of 4.5&nbsp;million tonnes in the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2012. ArcelorMittal had sales of approximately $94.0 billion, steel shipments of approximately 85.8&nbsp;million tonnes, crude steel
production of approximately 91.9&nbsp;million tonnes, iron ore production of 65.2&nbsp;million tonnes and coal production of 8.9&nbsp;million tonnes for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2011. As of June&nbsp;30, 2012, ArcelorMittal had approximately
255,000 employees. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">ArcelorMittal is the largest steel producer in the Americas, Africa and Europe, and is the fourth largest
producer in the CIS region, with a growing presence in Asia, including investments in China and India. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">ArcelorMittal has
steel-making operations in 20 countries on four continents, including 60 integrated, mini-mill and integrated mini-mill steel-making facilities. ArcelorMittal&#146;s steel-making operations have a high degree of geographic diversification.
Approximately 38% of its steel is produced in the Americas, approximately 46% is produced in Europe and approximately 16% is produced in other countries, such as Kazakhstan, South Africa and Ukraine. In addition, ArcelorMittal&#146;s sales of steel
products are spread over both developed and developing markets, which have different consumption characteristics. ArcelorMittal&#146;s mining operations, present in North and South America, Africa, Europe and the CIS region, are integrated with its
global steel-making facilities and are important producers of iron ore and coal in their own right. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">ArcelorMittal produces a
broad range of high-quality steel finished and semi-finished products. Specifically, ArcelorMittal produces flat steel products, including sheet and plate, long steel products, including bars, rods and structural shapes. ArcelorMittal also produces
pipes and tubes for various applications. ArcelorMittal sells its steel products primarily in local markets and through its centralized marketing organization to a diverse range of customers in approximately 174 countries including the automotive,
appliance, engineering, construction and machinery industries. The Company also produces various types of mining products including iron ore lump, fines, concentrate and sinter feed, as well as coking, PCI and thermal coal. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a global steel producer, the Company is able to meet the needs of different markets. Steel consumption and product requirements
clearly differ between developed markets and developing markets. Steel consumption in developed economies is weighted towards flat products and a higher value-added mix, while developing markets utilize a higher proportion of long products and
commodity grades. To meet these diverse needs, the Company maintains a high degree of product diversification and seeks opportunities to increase the proportion of its product mix consisting of higher value-added products. </FONT></P>

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The mining and steel industries have historically been highly cyclical. This is due largely to the cyclical nature of the business sectors that are the principal consumers of steel and the industrial raw
materials produced from mining, namely the automotive, construction, appliance, machinery, equipment, infrastructure and transportation industries. Demand for minerals and metals and steel products thus generally correlates to macroeconomic
fluctuations in the global economy. This correlation and the adverse effect of macroeconomic downturns on metal mining companies and steel producers were evidenced in the 2008/2009 financial and subsequent economic crisis. The results of both mining
companies and steel producers were substantially affected, with many steel producers (including ArcelorMittal), in particular, recording sharply reduced revenues and operating losses. Since the severe economic downturn of 2008/2009, macroeconomic
conditions have remained uncertain and, in 2012, particularly difficult, due among other things to the continuing Euro-zone sovereign debt crisis, economic stagnation or slow growth in developed economies and a cooling of emerging market economies.

that of other emerging economies. Continued difficult macroeconomic conditions, a global recession, a recession or anemic growth in North America, a further degradation of the economic situation in Europe (discussed further below) or the continued
slowdown in emerging economies that are substantial consumers of steel (such as China, Brazil, Russia and India, as well as emerging Asian markets, the Middle East and the Commonwealth of Independent States (&#147;CIS&#148;) regions) would likely
result in continued and prolonged reduced demand for (and hence price of) minerals and steel and have a material adverse effect on the mining and steel industries in general and on ArcelorMittal&#146;s results of operations and financial condition
in particular. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:2%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>The ongoing weakness of the Euro-zone economy, as well as the ongoing concern over Euro-zone sovereign

macroeconomic trends in the Euro-zone crisis would most likely result in continued and prolonged reduced demand for (and hence price of) steel in Europe and have a material adverse effect on the European steel industry in general and on

conditions, the steel industry is affected by global and regional production capacity and fluctuations in steel imports/exports and tariffs. The steel industry globally has historically suffered from structural overcapacity, which is amplified
during periods of global or regional economic weakness due to weaker global or regional demand. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In Europe, structural
overcapacity is considerable, with studies indicating that European production capacity may exceed European demand by as much as 40%. As noted above, current demand levels in Europe are approximately 29% below those of 2007, widely considered to
have been a peak in the industry cycle. Reaching equilibrium would therefore require supply-side reductions. These are difficult and costly to implement in the European context. Moreover, the supply excess could be exacerbated by an increase in
imports from emerging market producers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Outside of Europe, production capacity in certain developing countries, particularly
in China, but also in other countries such as Russia, Ukraine and Turkey, has increased substantially in recent years. Russia has recently joined the World Trade Organization, which will likely lead to an increase in Russian steel exports to Europe.
China is now the largest global steel producer by a large margin, and the balance between its domestic production and consumption has been an important factor influencing global steel prices in recent years. Excess capacity from developing
countries, such as China, may result in exports of significant amounts of steel and steel products at prices that are at or below their costs of production, putting downward pressure on steel prices in other markets, including the United States and
Europe. While growth in Chinese steel production has slowed, the slowdown in the Chinese economy in 2012 resulted in an increase in exports to other markets (mainly Asia). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Given these structural capacity issues, ArcelorMittal remains exposed to the risk of steel production increases in China and other markets outstripping any increases in real demand. This
&#147;overhang&#148; will likely weigh on steel prices and therefore exacerbate the &#147;margin squeeze&#148; in the steel industry created by high-cost raw materials, in particular in markets marked by overcapacity such as Europe. </FONT></P>

exchange rates; the bargaining power of raw material suppliers; and the availability and cost of transportation. Although ArcelorMittal has substantial sources of iron ore and coal from its own mines and is expanding output at such mines and also
has new mines under development, as a steelmaker it remains exposed to volatility in the supply and price of iron ore, coking coal and coke as it obtains a significant portion of such raw materials under supply contracts from third parties. It is
also exposed directly to price volatility in iron ore and coal as it sells such minerals to third parties, and expects to increase the amount of such sales in the future. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Steel and raw material prices have historically been highly correlated. A drop in raw material prices therefore typically triggers a
decrease in steel prices. During the 2008/2009 crisis and again in 2012, both steel and raw materials prices dropped sharply. Another risk is embedded in the timing of the production cycle: rapidly falling steel prices can trigger write-downs of raw
material inventory purchased when steel prices were higher, as well as of unsold finished steel products. ArcelorMittal recorded substantial write-downs in 2008/2009 as a result of this. Furthermore, a lack of correlation or a time lag in
correlation between raw material and steel prices may also occur and result in a &#147;margin squeeze&#148; in the steel industry. ArcelorMittal experienced such a squeeze in late 2011, for example, when iron ore prices fell over 30% in three weeks
in October 2011 and resulted in a significant fall in steel prices while lower raw material prices had yet to feed into the Company&#146;s operating costs. Because ArcelorMittal sources a substantial portion of its raw materials through long term
contracts with quarterly (or more frequent) formula-based or negotiated price adjustments and sells a substantial part of its steel products at spot prices, it faces the risk of adverse differentials between its own production costs, which are
affected by global raw materials prices, scrap prices and trends for steel prices in regional markets. Exposure to this risk has increased as raw material suppliers have since 2010 moved increasingly toward sales on a shorter term (quarterly or more
frequent) basis. In addition to the Company&#146;s exposure as a steelmaker, protracted periods of low prices of iron ore and to a lesser extent coal would weigh on the revenues and profitability of the Company&#146;s mining business, as occurred in
the second half of 2012. For additional details on ArcelorMittal&#146;s raw materials supply and self-sufficiency, see &#147;Item 4B&#151;Business Overview&#151;Raw Materials and Energy&#148; of our 2011 Form 20-F and &#147;Raw Materials&#148; and

products. Protracted low iron ore prices have a negative effect on the results of its mining business, as a result of lower sale prices and lower margins on such sales. In addition, as indicated above, iron ore prices and steel prices are generally
highly correlated, and a drop in iron ore prices therefore typically triggers a decrease in steel prices. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As indicated above,
the prices of iron ore and steel products are influenced by many factors, including demand, worldwide production capacity, capacity-utilization rates, global prices and contract arrangements, steel inventory levels and exchange rates.
ArcelorMittal&#146;s results have shown the material adverse effect of prolonged periods of low prices. Following an extended period of rising prices, global steel prices fell sharply during the financial and economic crisis of 2008/2009. This
resulted from the sharp drop in demand and was exacerbated by massive industry destocking (i.e., customer reductions of steel inventories). This had a material adverse effect on ArcelorMittal and other steel producers, who experienced lower
revenues, margins and, as discussed further below, write-downs of finished steel products and raw material inventories. Steel prices gradually recovered in late 2009 and into 2010 while remaining below their pre-financial crisis peaks. Steel prices
remained volatile throughout 2011 rising in the first quarter on stronger demand and higher raw material prices but softening in the second half. The softening accelerated in the fourth quarter of 2011 as iron ore prices dropped sharply in October,
and customers then started to destock in an uncertain economic environment. While there were some </FONT></P>

the third quarter of 2012. ArcelorMittal&#146;s results will likely continue to suffer from low steel prices as any sustained steel price recovery would likely require raw material price support as well as a broad economic recovery in order to

4B&#151;Business Overview&#151;Government Regulations&#148; of our 2011 Form 20-F), health and safety incidents do occur, some of which may result in costs and liabilities and negatively impact ArcelorMittal&#146;s reputation or the operations of
the affected facility. Such accidents could include explosions or gas leaks, fires or collapses in underground mining operations, vehicular accidents, other accidents involving mobile equipment, or exposure to radioactive or other potentially
hazardous materials. Some of ArcelorMittal&#146;s industrial activities involve the use, storage and transport of dangerous chemicals and toxic substances, and ArcelorMittal is therefore subject to the risk of industrial accidents which could have
significant adverse consequences for the Company&#146;s workers and facilities, as well as the environment. Such accidents could lead to production stoppages, loss of key personnel, the loss of key assets, or put at risk employees (and those of
sub-contractors and suppliers) or persons living near affected sites. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">ArcelorMittal may continue to be exposed to increased
operational costs due to the costs and lost time associated with the HIV/AIDS and malaria infection rates within ArcelorMittal&#146;s workforce in Africa and other regions. ArcelorMittal may also be affected by potential outbreaks of flu or other
viruses or infectious diseases in any of the regions in which it operates. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under certain circumstances, authorities could
require ArcelorMittal facilities to curtail or suspend operations based on health and safety concerns. For example, in August 2012 a local court in Italy ordered the partial closure of another company&#146;s large steel manufacturing facility, based
on concerns that its air emissions were harming the health of workers and nearby residents. The industry is concerned that the court decision could lead to more stringent permit and other requirements, particularly at the local level, or to other
similar local or national court decisions in the EU. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">See &#147;Item 4B&#151;Information on the Company&#151;Business

debt, incur new debt and/or flexibly manage its business. </I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of September&nbsp;30, 2012, ArcelorMittal had total debt
outstanding of $26.6 billion, consisting of $4.8 billion of short-term indebtedness (including payables to banks and the current portion of long-term debt) and $21.8 billion of long-term indebtedness. As of September&nbsp;30, 2012, ArcelorMittal had
$3.4 billion of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, and of which $0.4 billion is classified as held for sale, and $10.0 billion available to be drawn under existing credit facilities. As of September&nbsp;30, 2012, substantial
amounts of indebtedness mature in the fourth quarter of 2012 ($0.9 billion), 2013 ($3.9 billion), 2014 ($3.7 billion) and 2015 ($2.6 billion). See &#147;Item 5B&#151;Operating and Financial Review and Prospects&#151;Liquidity and Capital
Resources&#148; of our 2011 Form 20-F, &#147;B. Liquidity and Capital Resources&#148; of our First Half 2012 MD&amp;A and our Third Quarter and Nine Months 2012 Results Release. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If the mining and steel markets deteriorate further, consequently reducing operating cash flows, ArcelorMittal&#146;s gearing would
likely increase, absent sufficient asset disposals. In such a scenario, ArcelorMittal may have difficulty accessing financial markets to refinance maturing debt on acceptable terms or, in extreme scenarios, come under liquidity pressure.
ArcelorMittal&#146;s access to financial markets for refinancing also depends on conditions in the global capital and credit markets which are volatile and are sensitive in particular to developments in the Euro-zone sovereign debt situation.
Financial markets could conceivably deteriorate sharply, including in response to significant political or financial news, such as large credit losses at a systemically important financial institution or the bankruptcy of a large company, a default
or heightened risk of default by a sovereign country in Europe or elsewhere, or worse, the voluntary exit or expulsion of certain countries from the Euro currency block and/or a collapse of the Euro-zone financial system, which would be a deeply
disruptive global economic event. Under such circumstances, the Company could experience difficulties in accessing the financial markets on acceptable terms or at all. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">ArcelorMittal&#146;s high level of debt outstanding could have adverse consequences more generally, including by impairing its ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital
expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes, and limiting its flexibility to adjust to changing market conditions or withstand competitive pressures, resulting in greater vulnerability to a downturn in general economic
conditions. While ArcelorMittal is targeting a reduction in &#147;net debt&#148; (i.e., long-term debt net of current portion plus payables to banks and current portion of long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and
short-term investments), there is no assurance that it will succeed. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Moreover, ArcelorMittal could, in order to increase its
financial flexibility and strengthen its balance sheet, implement capital raising measures such as equity offerings, which could (depending on how they are structured) dilute the interests of existing shareholders. In addition, ArcelorMittal is
pursuing a policy of asset disposals in order to reduce debt. These asset disposals are subject to execution risk and may fail to materialize, and the proceeds received from them may not reflect values that management believes are achievable and/or
cause substantial accounting losses (particularly if the disposals are done in difficult market conditions). In addition, to the extent that the asset disposals include the sale of all or part of core assets (including through an increase in the
share of minority interests, such as the ArcelorMittal Mines Canada transaction announced on January&nbsp;2, 2012), this could reduce ArcelorMittal&#146;s consolidated cash flows and or the economic interest of ArcelorMittal shareholders in such
assets, which may be cash-generative and profitable ones. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, credit rating agencies could downgrade
ArcelorMittal&#146;s ratings either due to factors specific to ArcelorMittal, a prolonged cyclical downturn in the steel industry or macroeconomic trends (such as global or regional recessions) and trends in credit and capital markets more
generally. In this respect, Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s, Moody's and Fitch downgraded the Company&#146;s rating to below &#147;investment grade&#148; in August, November and December 2012, respectively, and Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s and
Moody&#146;s currently have ArcelorMittal&#146;s credit rating on negative outlook. The margin under ArcelorMittal&#146;s principal credit facilities and certain of its outstanding </FONT></P>

bonds is subject to adjustment in the event of a change in its long-term credit ratings, and the August, November and December 2012 downgrades resulted in increased interest expense. Any further
downgrades in ArcelorMittal&#146;s credit ratings would result in a further increase in its cost of borrowing and could significantly harm its financial condition and results of operations as well as hinder its ability to refinance its existing
indebtedness on acceptable terms. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">ArcelorMittal&#146;s principal credit facilities contain restrictive covenants. These
covenants limit, inter alia, encumbrances on the assets of ArcelorMittal and its subsidiaries, the ability of ArcelorMittal&#146;s subsidiaries to incur debt and the ability of ArcelorMittal and its subsidiaries to dispose of assets in certain
circumstances. ArcelorMittal&#146;s principal credit facilities also include the following financial covenant: ArcelorMittal must ensure that the &#147;Leverage Ratio&#148;, being the ratio of &#147;Consolidated Total Net Borrowings&#148;
(consolidated total borrowings less consolidated cash and cash equivalents) to &#147;Consolidated EBITDA&#148; (the consolidated net pre-taxation profits of the ArcelorMittal group for a Measurement Period, subject to certain adjustments as defined
in the facilities), at the end of each &#147;Measurement Period&#148; (each period of 12 months ending on the last day of a financial half-year or a financial year of ArcelorMittal), is not greater than a ratio of 3.5 to one. As of
September&nbsp;30, 2012, the Leverage Ratio stood at approximately 3.1 to one. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The restrictive and financial covenants could
limit ArcelorMittal&#146;s operating and financial flexibility. Failure to comply with any covenant would enable the lenders to accelerate ArcelorMittal&#146;s repayment obligations. Moreover, ArcelorMittal&#146;s debt facilities have provisions
whereby certain events relating to other borrowers within the ArcelorMittal group could, under certain circumstances, lead to acceleration of debt repayment under such credit facilities. Any invocation of these cross-acceleration clauses could cause
some or all of the other debt to accelerate, creating liquidity pressures. In addition, even market perception of a potential breach of any financial covenant could have a negative impact on ArcelorMittal&#146;s ability to refinance its indebtedness
on acceptable conditions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Furthermore, some of ArcelorMittal&#146;s debt is subject to floating rates of interest and thereby
exposes ArcelorMittal to interest rate risk (i.e., if interest rates rise, ArcelorMittal&#146;s debt service obligations on its floating rate indebtedness would increase). Depending on market conditions, ArcelorMittal from time to time uses
interest-rate swaps or other financial instruments to hedge a portion of its interest rate exposure either from fixed to floating or floating to fixed. After taking into account interest-rate derivative financial instruments, ArcelorMittal had
exposure to 79% of its debt at fixed interest rates and 21% at floating rates as of December&nbsp;31, 2011. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Finally,
ArcelorMittal has foreign exchange exposure in relation to its debt, approximately 33% of which is denominated in euros as of September&nbsp;30, 2012, while its financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. This creates balance sheet
exposure, with a depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the euro leading to an increase in debt (including for covenant compliance measurement purposes). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

licenses, securing and maintaining adequate property rights to land and mineral resources (especially in connection with mining projects in certain developing countries in which security of title
with respect to mining concessions and property rights remains weak), local opposition to land acquisition or project development (as experienced, for example, in connection with the Company&#146;s projects in India), demand for the Company&#146;s
products and general economic conditions. Any of these factors may cause the Company to delay, modify or forego some or all aspects of its expansion plans. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to execute its greenfield or brownfield
development projects, and to the extent that they proceed, that it will be able to complete them on schedule, within budget, or achieve an adequate return on its investment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Greenfield projects can also, in addition to general factors, have project-specific factors that increase the level of risk. For example, the Company has acquired (along with a partner) Baffinland Iron
Mines Corporation (&#147;BIMC&#148;) in view of developing the Mary River iron ore deposit in the northern end of Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic. BIMC was originally owned 70% by the Company and 30% by its partner; in December 2012 this was
revised to 50/50 (see &#147;Recent Developments&#148;). The scale of this project, which is at the feasibility development stage, and the location of the deposit raise unique challenges, including extremely harsh weather conditions, lack of
transportation and other infrastructure and environmental concerns. Similar to other greenfield development projects, it is subject to construction and permitting risks, including the risk of significant cost overruns and delays in construction,
infrastructure development, start-up and commissioning. The region is known for its harsh and unpredictable weather conditions resulting in periods of limited access and general lack of infrastructure. Other specific risks the project is subject to
include, but are not limited to (i)&nbsp;delays in obtaining, or conditions imposed by, regulatory approvals; (ii)&nbsp;risks associated with obtaining amendments to existing regulatory approvals or permits and additional regulatory approvals or
permits which will be required; (iii)&nbsp;existing litigation risks; (iv)&nbsp;fluctuations in prices for iron ore affecting the future profitability of the project; and (v)&nbsp;risks associated with the Company and its partner being in a position
to finance their respective share of project costs and/or obtaining financing on commercially reasonable terms. As a result, there can be no assurance that the development or construction activities of the Mary River Project will commence in
accordance with current expectations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:2%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>ArcelorMittal&#146;s mining operations are subject to risks associated with

projecting potential future rates of mineral production, including factors beyond ArcelorMittal&#146;s control. Reserve engineering involves estimating deposits of minerals that cannot be measured in an exact manner, and the accuracy of any reserve
estimate is a function of the quality of available data and engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. As a result, no assurance can be given that the indicated amount of ore or coal will be recovered or that it will be recovered at the
anticipated rates. Estimates may vary, and results of mining and production subsequent to the date of an estimate may lead to revisions of estimates. Reserve estimates and estimates of mine life may require revisions based on actual production
experience and other factors. For example, fluctuations in the market prices of minerals and metals, reduced recovery rates or increased operating and capital costs due to inflation, exchange rates, mining duties or other factors may render proven

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because ArcelorMittal is a holding company, it is dependent on the earnings and cash flows of, and dividends and distributions from, its
operating subsidiaries to pay expenses, meet its debt service obligations, pay any cash dividends or distributions on its ordinary shares or conduct share buy-backs. Significant cash or cash equivalent balances may be held from time to time at the
Company&#146;s international operating subsidiaries, including in particular those in France, where the Company maintains a cash management system under which most of its cash and cash equivalents are centralized, and in Algeria, Argentina, Brazil,
China, Kazakhstan, Morocco, South Africa, Ukraine and Venezuela. Some of these operating subsidiaries have debt outstanding or are subject to acquisition agreements that impose restrictions on such operating subsidiaries&#146; ability to pay
dividends, but such restrictions are not significant in the context of ArcelorMittal&#146;s overall liquidity. Repatriation of funds from operating subsidiaries may also be affected by tax and foreign exchange policies in place from time to time in
the various countries where the Company operates, though none of these policies are currently significant in the context of ArcelorMittal&#146;s overall liquidity. Under the laws of Luxembourg, ArcelorMittal will be able to pay dividends or
distributions only to the extent that it is entitled to receive cash dividend distributions from its subsidiaries, recognize gains from the sale of its assets or record share premium from the issuance of shares. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If earnings and cash flows of its operating subsidiaries are substantially reduced, ArcelorMittal may not be in a position to meet its

underlying the carrying value of certain assets, including as a result of adverse market conditions, could result in impairment of such assets, including intangible assets such as goodwill. </I></B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">At each reporting date, ArcelorMittal reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill, which is
reviewed annually or whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable) to determine whether there is any indication that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable through continuing use. If
any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is reviewed in order to determine the amount of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of its net selling price (fair value reduced by
selling costs) and its value in use. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset (or cash generating unit). If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is
estimated to be less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. An impairment loss is recognized as an expense immediately as part of operating income in the consolidated statements of operations. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Goodwill represents the excess of the amounts ArcelorMittal paid to acquire subsidiaries and other businesses over the fair value of
their net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill has been allocated at the level of the Company&#146;s eight operating segments; the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is tested for impairment
annually at the levels of the groups of cash generating units which correspond to the operating segments during the fourth quarter, or when changes in the circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverable
amounts of the groups of cash generating units are determined from the higher of its net selling price (fair value reduced by selling costs) or its value in use calculations, which depend on certain key assumptions. These include assumptions
regarding the discount rates, growth rates and expected changes to selling prices and direct costs during the period. Management estimates discount rates using pre-tax rates that reflect current market rates for investments of similar risk. The
growth rates are based on the Company&#146;s growth forecasts, which are in line with industry trends. Changes in selling prices and direct costs are based on historical experience and expectations of future changes in the market. See Notes 2 and 9

the asset could fall significantly and result in impairment. While impairment does not affect reported cash flows, the decrease of the estimated recoverable amount and the related non-cash charge in the consolidated statements of operations could
have a material adverse effect on ArcelorMittal&#146;s results of operations or financial condition. For example, based on its impairment review in connection with the preparation of its 2012 financial statements, the Company expects to record an
impairment charge of $4.3 billion with respect to goodwill in its European businesses (approximately $2.5 billion, $1 billion and $800 million in the Flat Carbon Europe, Long Carbon Europe and Distribution Solutions segments, respectively).
Following these impairment charges, substantial amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets will remain recorded on its balance sheet (there was $12.5 billion of goodwill and $1.6 billion of other intangibles on the balance sheet at
December&nbsp;31, 2011). No assurance can be given as to the absence of significant further impairment losses in future periods, particularly if market conditions continue to deteriorate. See Note 9 to ArcelorMittal&#146;s consolidated financial

undergoing substantial political transformations from centrally-controlled command economies to market-oriented systems or from authoritarian regimes to democratically-elected governments and vice-versa. Political, economic and legal reforms
necessary to complete such transformation may not progress sufficiently. On occasion, ethnic, religious, historical and other divisions have given rise to tensions and, in certain cases, wide-scale civil disturbances and military conflict. The
political systems in these countries are vulnerable to their populations&#146; dissatisfaction with their government, reforms or the lack thereof, social and ethnic unrest and changes in governmental policies, any of which could have a material
adverse effect on ArcelorMittal&#146;s business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects and its ability to continue to do business in these countries. Certain of ArcelorMittal&#146;s operations are also located in areas where acute
drug-related violence (including executions and kidnappings of non-gang civilians) occurs and the largest drug cartels operate, such as the states of Michoacan, Sinaloa and Sonora in Mexico. </FONT></P>

remain less than fully developed, particularly with respect to property rights, the protection of foreign investment and bankruptcy proceedings, generally resulting in a lower level of legal certainty or security for foreign investment than in more
developed countries. ArcelorMittal may encounter difficulties in enforcing court judgments or arbitral awards in some countries in which it operates among other reasons because those countries may not be parties to treaties that recognize the mutual
enforcement of court judgments. Assets in certain countries where ArcelorMittal operates could also be at risk of expropriation or nationalization, and compensation for such assets may be below fair value. For example, the Venezuelan government has
implemented a number of selective nationalizations of companies operating in the country to date. Although ArcelorMittal believes that the long-term growth potential in emerging markets is strong, and intends them to be the focus of the majority of
its near-term growth capital expenditures, legal obstacles could have a material adverse effect on the implementation of ArcelorMittal&#146;s growth plans and its operations in such countries. </FONT></P>

increasing limitations on its business activities. Moreover, ArcelorMittal&#146;s governance and compliance processes, which include the review of internal controls over financial reporting, may not prevent breaches of law, accounting or governance
standards at the Company or its subsidiaries. Risks of violations are also present at the Company&#146;s joint ventures and associates where ArcelorMittal has only a non-controlling stake and does not control governance practices or accounting and

could occur, could adversely affect prevailing trading prices of the Shares and the value of the Notes and could impair the Issuer&#146;s ability to raise capital through future offerings of equity or equity-related securities. No prediction can be

be no assurance that events in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Europe, the United States or elsewhere will not cause market volatility or that such volatility will not adversely affect the price of the Notes or the Shares or that economic and market
conditions will not have any other adverse effect. Fluctuations in interest rates may give rise to arbitrage opportunities based upon changes in the relative value of the Notes or the Shares. Any trading by arbitrageurs could, in turn, affect the

or seek to employ, a convertible arbitrage strategy with respect to the Notes. Investors that employ a convertible arbitrage strategy with respect to convertible debt instruments typically implement that strategy by selling short the common stock or
ordinary shares underlying the convertible debt and dynamically adjusting their short position while they hold the convertible debt instruments. Investors in the Notes may also implement this strategy by entering into swaps on the Shares stock in
lieu of or in addition to short selling the Shares. As a result, any specific rules regulating equity swaps or short selling of securities or other governmental action that interferes with the ability of market participants to effect short sales or
equity swaps with respect to the Shares could adversely affect the ability of investors in, or potential purchasers of, the Notes to conduct the convertible arbitrage strategy that the Issuer believes they will employ, or seek to employ, with
respect to the Notes. This could, in turn, adversely affect the trading price and liquidity of the Notes. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The SEC and other regulatory and self-regulatory authorities have implemented various rules
and may adopt additional rules in the future that may impact those engaging in short selling activity involving equity securities (including the Shares). In particular, Rule 201 of SEC Regulation SHO generally restricts short selling when the price
of a &#147;covered security&#148; triggers a &#147;circuit breaker&#148; by falling 10% or more from the security&#146;s closing price as of the end of regular trading hours on the prior day. If this circuit breaker is triggered, short sale orders
can be displayed or executed for the remainder of that day and the following day only if the order price is above the current national best bid, subject to certain limited exceptions. Because the Shares are a &#147;covered security,&#148; these Rule
201 restrictions, if triggered, may interfere with the ability of investors in, and potential purchasers of, the Notes, to effect short sales in the Shares and conduct a convertible arbitrage strategy. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The SEC has also approved a pilot program allowing securities exchanges and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(&#147;FINRA&#148;) to halt trading in securities included in the S&amp;P 500 Index, Russell 1000 Index and certain exchange traded funds and notes if the price of any such security moves 10% or more from a sale price in a five-minute period (the
&#147;single stock circuit breaker program&#148;). Beginning on August&nbsp;8, 2011, the single stock circuit breaker program was expanded to include all other NMS stocks, and imposes a trading halt in these additional stocks in the event of any
price movement of 30% or 50% (or more), depending upon the trading price of the stock. The single stock circuit breaker program is currently set to expire on February&nbsp;4, 2013. The SEC also recently approved two proposals submitted by national
securities exchanges and FINRA. One initiative is the &#147;Limit Up-Limit Down&#148; plan, which will replace the single stock circuit breaker program and require securities exchanges, alternative trading systems, broker-dealers and other trading
centers to establish policies and procedures that prevent the execution of trades and the display of offers from occurring outside of a specified price band. If bid or offer quotations are at the far limit of the price band for more than 15 seconds,
trading in that security will be subject to a five-minute trading pause. The Limit Up-Limit Down plan is scheduled to go into effect on a one-year pilot basis on February&nbsp;4, 2013. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The second initiative will change existing stock exchange and FINRA rules that establish a market-wide circuit breaker system. The
existing market-wide circuit breaker system provides for specified market-wide halts in trading of stock for certain periods following specified market declines. The changes will lower the percentage-decline thresholds for triggering a market-wide
trading halt and shorten the amount of time that trading is halted. Market declines under the new system will be measured by reference to the S&amp;P 500 Index rather than the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the trigger thresholds will be
calculated daily rather than quarterly. The changes to the market-wide circuit breaker system are scheduled to go into effect on a one-year pilot basis on February&nbsp;4, 2013. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The restrictions on trading imposed by the single stock circuit breaker program, the market-wide circuit breaker system and, when
effective, the Limit Up-Limit Down plan may interfere with the ability of investors in, and potential purchasers of, the Notes to effect short sales in the Shares and conduct a convertible arbitrage strategy. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the &#147;Dodd-Frank Act&#148;) on July&nbsp;21, 2010
also introduced regulatory uncertainty that may impact trading activities relevant to the Notes. This legislation will require many over the-counter swaps and security-based swaps to be centrally cleared through regulated clearinghouses and traded
on exchanges or comparable trading facilities. In addition, swap dealers, security-based swap dealers, major swap participants and major security-based swap participants will be required to comply with margin and capital requirements as well as
public reporting requirements to provide transaction and pricing data on both cleared and uncleared swaps. These requirements could adversely affect the ability of investors in, or potential purchasers of, the Notes to maintain a convertible
arbitrage strategy with respect to the Notes (including increasing the costs incurred by such investors in implementing such strategy). This could, in turn, adversely affect the trading price and liquidity of the Notes. We cannot predict how the SEC
and other regulators will ultimately implement this legislation or the magnitude of the effect that this legislation will have on the trading price or liquidity of the Notes. Although the direction and magnitude of the effect that the amendments to

Dodd-Frank Act may have on the trading price and the liquidity of the Notes will depend on a variety of factors, many of which cannot be determined at this time, past regulatory actions have had
a significant impact on the trading prices and liquidity of convertible debt instruments. For example, between July 2008 and September 2008, the SEC issued a series of emergency orders placing restrictions on the short sale of the common stock of
certain financial services companies. The orders made the convertible arbitrage strategy that many convertible debt investors employ difficult to execute and adversely affected both the liquidity and trading price of convertible debt instruments
issued by many of the financial services companies subject to the prohibition. Any governmental action that similarly restricts the ability of investors in, or potential purchasers of, the Notes to effect short sales of the Shares, including the
amendments to Regulation SHO, FINRA and exchange rule changes and the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act, could similarly adversely affect the trading price and the liquidity of the Notes. </FONT></P>

position, but Luxembourg courts do not appear to have ruled on this point. The provision of the Notes providing for the accrual of interest on Optionally Deferred Payments is valid and enforceable as a matter of New York law. While the Issuer&#146;s

reorganization or a plan for the realization and distribution of the assets; moratorium (<I>concordat pr&eacute;ventif de faillite</I>), whereby a judge is appointed to oversee the negotiation of an agreement between the debtor and his creditors;

creditor holding a pledge can retain possession of the pledged assets or can enforce its security interest if an event of default has occurred under the security agreement. Further, in a bankruptcy proceeding (<I>faillite</I>), the debtor has the
right to make composition (<I>concordat</I>) proposals which are inter alia subject to approval by creditors representing at least 75% of all admitted unsecured claims. The ratification of a composition in a bankruptcy proceeding (<I>faillite</I>)
or in a moratorium (<I>concordat pr&eacute;ventif de faillite</I>) will have no effect on creditors who, having secured claims, did not participate in the composition proceedings and did not, therefore, waive their rights or priority, mortgages or

impairment charge is expected to break down as follows by segment: approximately $2.5 billion in the Flat Carbon Europe segment, approximately $1 billion in the Long Carbon Europe segment and approximately $800 million in the Distribution Solutions
segment. The impairment is due to a weaker macroeconomic and market environment in Europe, where apparent steel demand has fallen by approximately 8% in 2012, bringing the cumulative demand decline to approximately 29% since 2007. This weaker demand
environment, along with expectations that it will persist over the near and medium term, led to a downward revision of cash flow expectations underlying the valuation of the European businesses to which goodwill had been allocated. </FONT></P>

delivery of certificates in definitive form, and will not be considered holders thereof. The laws of some states require that certain persons take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. Consequently, the ability to transfer or pledge a

it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of Notes, including, without limitation, the presentation of Notes for conversion as described below, only at the direction of one or more direct DTC participants to whose account with DTC
interests in the Global Notes are credited and only for the principal amount of the Notes for which directions have been given. </FONT></P>

participants, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. If DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not
appointed by the Issuer within 90 days, the Issuer will cause Notes to be issued in definitive registered form in exchange for the Global Notes. In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for definitive certificated Notes
upon request by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with customary procedures. None of the Issuer, the trustee, the securities administrator or any of the Issuer&#146;s, the trustee&#146;s or the securities administrator&#146;s respective agents will
have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or direct or indirect DTC participants of their obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations, including maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records relating to, or

Related to the Global Economy and the Mining and Steel Industry </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>ArcelorMittal&#146;s business and results are substantially affected by
regional and global macroeconomic conditions. Recessions or prolonged periods of weak growth in the global economy or the economies of ArcelorMittal&#146;s key selling markets have in the past had and in the future would be likely to have a material

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The mining and steel industries have historically been highly cyclical. This is due largely to the cyclical nature of the business sectors that are the principal consumers of steel and the industrial raw
materials produced from mining, namely the automotive, construction, appliance, machinery, equipment, infrastructure and transportation industries. Demand for minerals and metals and steel products thus generally correlates to macroeconomic
fluctuations in the global economy. This correlation and the adverse effect of macroeconomic downturns on metal mining companies and steel producers were evidenced in the 2008/2009 financial and subsequent economic crisis. The results of both mining
companies and steel producers were substantially affected, with many steel producers (including ArcelorMittal), in particular, recording sharply reduced revenues and operating losses. Since the severe economic downturn of 2008/2009, macroeconomic
conditions have remained uncertain and, in 2012, particularly difficult, due among other things to the continuing Euro-zone sovereign debt crisis, economic stagnation or slow growth in developed economies and a cooling of emerging market economies.
See &#147;Item 5&#151;Operating and Financial Review and Prospects&#151;Overview&#151;Key Factors Affecting Results of Operations&#151;Economic Environment&#148; of our 2011 Form 20-F, &#147;Economic Environment&#148; in our &#147;Management&#146;s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Six Months ended June&nbsp;30, 2012&#148; (the &#147;First Half 2012 MD&amp;A&#148;) and our release entitled &#147;ArcelorMittal Reports Third Quarter 2012 and Nine
Months 2012 Results&#148; (the &#147;Third Quarter and Nine Months 2012 Results Release&#148;). Growth of the Chinese economy, which in recent years has been and is one of the main demand drivers in the mining and steel industries, slowed, as did
that of other emerging economies. Continued difficult macroeconomic conditions, a global recession, a recession or anemic growth in North America, a further degradation of the economic situation in Europe (discussed further below) or the continued
slowdown in emerging economies that are substantial consumers of steel (such as China, Brazil, Russia and India, as well as emerging Asian markets, the Middle East and the Commonwealth of Independent States (&#147;CIS&#148;) regions) would likely
result in continued and prolonged reduced demand for (and hence price of) minerals and steel and have a material adverse effect on the mining and steel industries in general and on ArcelorMittal&#146;s results of operations and financial condition
in particular. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>The ongoing weakness of the Euro-zone economy, as well as the ongoing concern over Euro-zone sovereign debt, may continue
to adversely affect the steel industry and ArcelorMittal&#146;s business, results of operations and financial condition. </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Steel producers with substantial sales in Europe, such as ArcelorMittal, have been deeply affected by macroeconomic conditions in Europe
over the 2010-2012 period. The Euro-zone sovereign debt crisis, resulting austerity measures and other factors have led to recession or stagnation in many of the national economies in the Euro-zone. Demand for steel has been depressed as a result,
dropping in 2012 to 29% below 2007 levels. Current expectations are for continued weak macroeconomic conditions in Europe in the near to mid-term (e.g., European Central Bank forecast of December 2012 of a 0.3% decrease in Euro-zone GDP in 2013, IMF

2012 of a contraction of 0.4%). Moreover, an aggravation of the Euro-zone sovereign debt crisis would likely further weigh on economic growth. A continuation or worsening of the negative
macroeconomic trends in the Euro-zone crisis would most likely result in continued and prolonged reduced demand for (and hence price of) steel in Europe and have a material adverse effect on the European steel industry in general and on
ArcelorMittal&#146;s results of operations and financial condition in particular. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Excess capacity and oversupply in the steel industry may
weigh on the profitability of steel producers, including ArcelorMittal. </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition to economic conditions, the steel
industry is affected by global and regional production capacity and fluctuations in steel imports/exports and tariffs. The steel industry globally has historically suffered from structural overcapacity, which is amplified during periods of global or
regional economic weakness due to weaker global or regional demand. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In Europe, structural overcapacity is considerable, with
studies indicating that European production capacity may exceed European demand by as much as 40%. As noted above, current demand levels in Europe are approximately 29% below those of 2007, widely considered to have been a peak in the industry
cycle. Reaching equilibrium would therefore require supply-side reductions. These are difficult and costly to implement in the European context. Moreover, the supply excess could be exacerbated by an increase in imports from emerging market
producers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Outside of Europe, production capacity in certain developing countries, particularly in China, but also in other
countries such as Russia, Ukraine and Turkey, has increased substantially in recent years. Russia has recently joined the World Trade Organization, which will likely lead to an increase in Russian steel exports to Europe. China is now the largest
global steel producer by a large margin, and the balance between its domestic production and consumption has been an important factor influencing global steel prices in recent years. Excess capacity from developing countries, such as China, may
result in exports of significant amounts of steel and steel products at prices that are at or below their costs of production, putting downward pressure on steel prices in other markets, including the United States and Europe. While growth in
Chinese steel production has slowed, the slowdown in the Chinese economy in 2012 resulted in an increase in exports to other markets (mainly Asia). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Given these structural capacity issues, ArcelorMittal remains exposed to the risk of steel production increases in China and other markets outstripping any increases in real demand. This
&#147;overhang&#148; will likely weigh on steel prices and therefore exacerbate the &#147;margin squeeze&#148; in the steel industry created by high-cost raw materials, in particular in markets marked by overcapacity such as Europe. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Volatility in the supply and prices of raw materials, energy and transportation, and mismatches with steel price trends, as well as protracted low raw
materials prices, could adversely affect ArcelorMittal&#146;s results of operations. </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Steel production consumes substantial
amounts of raw materials including iron ore, coking coal and coke. Because the production of direct reduced iron, the production of steel in electric arc furnaces and the re-heating of steel involve the use of significant amounts of energy, steel
companies are also sensitive to natural gas and electricity prices and dependent on having access to reliable supplies of energy. Any prolonged interruption in the supply of raw materials or energy would adversely affect ArcelorMittal&#146;s results
of operation and financial condition. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The prices of iron ore, coking coal and coke are highly volatile and may be affected
by, among other factors: industry structural factors (including the oligopolistic nature of the (sea-borne) iron ore industry and the fragmented nature of the steel industry); demand trends in the steel industry itself and particularly from Chinese
steel producers (as the largest group of producers); new laws or regulations; suppliers&#146; allocations to other purchasers; business continuity of suppliers; expansion projects of suppliers; interruptions in production by

suppliers; accidents or other similar events at suppliers&#146; premises or along the supply chain; wars, natural disasters, political disruption and other similar events; fluctuations in
exchange rates; the bargaining power of raw material suppliers; and the availability and cost of transportation. Although ArcelorMittal has substantial sources of iron ore and coal from its own mines and is expanding output at such mines and also
has new mines under development, as a steelmaker it remains exposed to volatility in the supply and price of iron ore, coking coal and coke as it obtains a significant portion of such raw materials under supply contracts from third parties. It is
also exposed directly to price volatility in iron ore and coal as it sells such minerals to third parties, and expects to increase the amount of such sales in the future. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Historically, energy prices have varied significantly, and this trend is expected to continue due to market conditions and other factors beyond the control of steel companies. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Steel and raw material prices have historically been highly correlated. A drop in raw material prices therefore typically triggers a
decrease in steel prices. During the 2008/2009 crisis and again in 2012, both steel and raw materials prices dropped sharply. Another risk is embedded in the timing of the production cycle: rapidly falling steel prices can trigger write-downs of raw
material inventory purchased when steel prices were higher, as well as of unsold finished steel products. ArcelorMittal recorded substantial write-downs in 2008/2009 as a result of this. Furthermore, a lack of correlation or a time lag in
correlation between raw material and steel prices may also occur and result in a &#147;margin squeeze&#148; in the steel industry. ArcelorMittal experienced such a squeeze in late 2011, for example, when iron ore prices fell over 30% in three weeks
in October 2011 and resulted in a significant fall in steel prices while lower raw material prices had yet to feed into the Company&#146;s operating costs. Because ArcelorMittal sources a substantial portion of its raw materials through long term
contracts with quarterly (or more frequent) formula-based or negotiated price adjustments and sells a substantial part of its steel products at spot prices, it faces the risk of adverse differentials between its own production costs, which are
affected by global raw materials prices, scrap prices and trends for steel prices in regional markets. Exposure to this risk has increased as raw material suppliers have since 2010 moved increasingly toward sales on a shorter term (quarterly or more
frequent) basis. In addition to the Company&#146;s exposure as a steelmaker, protracted periods of low prices of iron ore and to a lesser extent coal would weigh on the revenues and profitability of the Company&#146;s mining business, as occurred in
the second half of 2012. For additional details on ArcelorMittal&#146;s raw materials supply and self-sufficiency, see &#147;Item 4B&#151;Business Overview&#151;Raw Materials and Energy&#148; of our 2011 Form 20-F and &#147;Raw Materials&#148; and
&#147;Energy&#148; in our First Half 2012 MD&amp;A. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Protracted low iron ore and steel prices would have a material adverse effect on
ArcelorMittal&#146;s results, as could price volatility. </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">ArcelorMittal sells both iron ore and steel products. Protracted
low iron ore prices have a negative effect on the results of its mining business, as a result of lower sale prices and lower margins on such sales. In addition, as indicated above, iron ore prices and steel prices are generally highly correlated,
and a drop in iron ore prices therefore typically triggers a decrease in steel prices. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As indicated above, the prices of iron
ore and steel products are influenced by many factors, including demand, worldwide production capacity, capacity-utilization rates, global prices and contract arrangements, steel inventory levels and exchange rates. ArcelorMittal&#146;s results have
shown the material adverse effect of prolonged periods of low prices. Following an extended period of rising prices, global steel prices fell sharply during the financial and economic crisis of 2008/2009. This resulted from the sharp drop in demand
and was exacerbated by massive industry destocking (i.e., customer reductions of steel inventories). This had a material adverse effect on ArcelorMittal and other steel producers, who experienced lower revenues, margins and, as discussed further
below, write-downs of finished steel products and raw material inventories. Steel prices gradually recovered in late 2009 and into 2010 while remaining below their pre-financial crisis peaks. Steel prices remained volatile throughout 2011 rising in
the first quarter on stronger demand and higher raw material prices but softening in the second half. The softening accelerated in the fourth quarter of 2011 as iron ore prices dropped sharply in October, and customers then started to destock in an
uncertain economic environment. While there were some </FONT></P>

increases in steel price levels in the first half of 2012, steel prices (as well as iron ore prices) generally declined over the second half of 2012, with a particularly sharp drop occurring in
the third quarter of 2012. ArcelorMittal&#146;s results will likely continue to suffer from low steel prices as any sustained steel price recovery would likely require raw material price support as well as a broad economic recovery in order to
underpin an increase in real demand for steel products by end users. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Developments in the competitive environment in the steel industry

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The markets in which steel companies operate are highly competitive. Competition&#151;in the form of established producers expanding in new markets, smaller producers increasing production in anticipation
of demand increases, amid an incipient recovery, or exporters selling excess capacity from markets such as China&#151;could cause ArcelorMittal to lose market share, increase expenditures or reduce pricing. Any of these developments could have a
material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Unfair trade practices in
ArcelorMittal&#146;s home markets could negatively affect steel prices and reduce ArcelorMittal&#146;s profitability, while trade restrictions could limit ArcelorMittal&#146;s access to key export markets. </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">ArcelorMittal is exposed to the effects of &#147;dumping&#148; and other unfair trade and pricing practices by competitors. Moreover,
government subsidization of the steel industry remains widespread in certain countries, particularly those with centrally-controlled economies such as China. As a consequence of the recent global economic crisis, there is an increased risk of
unfairly-traded steel exports from such countries into various markets including North America and Europe, in which ArcelorMittal produces and sells its products. Such imports could have the effect of reducing prices and demand for ArcelorMittal
products. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, ArcelorMittal has significant exposure to the effects of trade actions and barriers due to the global
nature of its operations. Various countries have in the past instituted trade actions and barriers, a recurrence of which could materially and adversely affect ArcelorMittal&#146;s business by limiting the Company&#146;s access to steel markets.

</I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of September&nbsp;30, 2012, ArcelorMittal had total debt outstanding of $26.6 billion, consisting of $4.8 billion
of short-term indebtedness (including payables to banks and the current portion of long-term debt) and $21.8 billion of long-term indebtedness. As of September&nbsp;30, 2012, ArcelorMittal had $3.4 billion of cash and cash equivalents, including
restricted cash, and of which $0.4 billion is classified as held for sale, and $10.0 billion available to be drawn under existing credit facilities. As of September&nbsp;30, 2012, substantial amounts of indebtedness mature in the fourth quarter of
2012 ($0.9 billion), 2013 ($3.9 billion), 2014 ($3.7 billion) and 2015 ($2.6 billion). See &#147;Item 5B&#151;Operating and Financial Review and Prospects&#151;Liquidity and Capital Resources&#148; of our 2011 Form 20-F, &#147;B. Liquidity and

mining and steel markets deteriorate further, consequently reducing operating cash flows, ArcelorMittal&#146;s gearing would likely increase, absent sufficient asset disposals. In such a scenario, ArcelorMittal may have difficulty accessing
financial markets to refinance maturing debt on acceptable terms or, in extreme scenarios, come under liquidity pressure. ArcelorMittal&#146;s access to financial markets for refinancing also depends on conditions in the global capital and credit
markets which are volatile and are sensitive in particular to developments in the Euro-zone sovereign debt situation. Financial markets could conceivably deteriorate sharply, including in response to significant political or financial news, such as
large credit losses at a systemically important financial institution or the bankruptcy of a large company, a default or heightened risk of default by a sovereign country in Europe or elsewhere, or worse, the voluntary exit or expulsion of certain
countries from the Euro currency block and/or a collapse of the Euro-zone financial system, which would be a deeply disruptive global economic event. Under such circumstances, the Company could experience difficulties in accessing the financial
markets on acceptable terms or at all. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">ArcelorMittal&#146;s high level of debt outstanding could have adverse consequences
more generally, including by impairing its ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes, and limiting its flexibility to adjust to changing market
conditions or withstand competitive pressures, resulting in greater vulnerability to a downturn in general economic conditions. While ArcelorMittal is targeting a reduction in &#147;net debt&#148; (i.e., long-term debt net of current portion plus
payables to banks and current portion of long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments), there is no assurance that it will succeed. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Moreover, ArcelorMittal could, in order to increase its financial flexibility and strengthen its balance sheet, implement capital raising
measures such as equity offerings, which could (depending on how they are structured) dilute the interests of existing shareholders. In addition, ArcelorMittal is pursuing a policy of asset disposals in order to reduce debt. These asset disposals
are subject to execution risk and may fail to materialize, and the proceeds received from them may not reflect values that management believes are achievable and/or cause substantial accounting losses (particularly if the disposals are done in
difficult market conditions). In addition, to the extent that the asset disposals include the sale of all or part of core assets (including through an increase in the share of minority interests, such as the ArcelorMittal Mines Canada transaction
announced on January&nbsp;2, 2012), this could reduce ArcelorMittal&#146;s consolidated cash flows and or the economic interest of ArcelorMittal shareholders in such assets, which may be cash-generative and profitable ones. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, credit rating agencies could downgrade ArcelorMittal&#146;s ratings either due to factors specific to ArcelorMittal, a
prolonged cyclical downturn in the steel industry or macroeconomic trends (such as global or regional recessions) and trends in credit and capital markets more generally. In this respect, Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s, Moody's and Fitch downgraded
the Company&#146;s rating to below &#147;investment grade&#148; in August, November and December 2012, respectively, and Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s and Moody&#146;s currently have ArcelorMittal&#146;s credit rating on negative outlook. The

bonds is subject to adjustment in the event of a change in its long-term credit ratings, and the August, November and December 2012 downgrades resulted in increased interest expense. Any further
downgrades in ArcelorMittal&#146;s credit ratings would result in a further increase in its cost of borrowing and could significantly harm its financial condition and results of operations as well as hinder its ability to refinance its existing
indebtedness on acceptable terms. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">ArcelorMittal&#146;s principal credit facilities contain restrictive covenants. These
covenants limit, inter alia, encumbrances on the assets of ArcelorMittal and its subsidiaries, the ability of ArcelorMittal&#146;s subsidiaries to incur debt and the ability of ArcelorMittal and its subsidiaries to dispose of assets in certain
circumstances. ArcelorMittal&#146;s principal credit facilities also include the following financial covenant: ArcelorMittal must ensure that the &#147;Leverage Ratio&#148;, being the ratio of &#147;Consolidated Total Net Borrowings&#148;
(consolidated total borrowings less consolidated cash and cash equivalents) to &#147;Consolidated EBITDA&#148; (the consolidated net pre-taxation profits of the ArcelorMittal group for a Measurement Period, subject to certain adjustments as defined
in the facilities), at the end of each &#147;Measurement Period&#148; (each period of 12 months ending on the last day of a financial half-year or a financial year of ArcelorMittal), is not greater than a ratio of 3.5 to one. As of
September&nbsp;30, 2012, the Leverage Ratio stood at approximately 3.1 to one. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The restrictive and financial covenants could
limit ArcelorMittal&#146;s operating and financial flexibility. Failure to comply with any covenant would enable the lenders to accelerate ArcelorMittal&#146;s repayment obligations. Moreover, ArcelorMittal&#146;s debt facilities have provisions
whereby certain events relating to other borrowers within the ArcelorMittal group could, under certain circumstances, lead to acceleration of debt repayment under such credit facilities. Any invocation of these cross-acceleration clauses could cause
some or all of the other debt to accelerate, creating liquidity pressures. In addition, even market perception of a potential breach of any financial covenant could have a negative impact on ArcelorMittal&#146;s ability to refinance its indebtedness
on acceptable conditions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Furthermore, some of ArcelorMittal&#146;s debt is subject to floating rates of interest and thereby
exposes ArcelorMittal to interest rate risk (i.e., if interest rates rise, ArcelorMittal&#146;s debt service obligations on its floating rate indebtedness would increase). Depending on market conditions, ArcelorMittal from time to time uses
interest-rate swaps or other financial instruments to hedge a portion of its interest rate exposure either from fixed to floating or floating to fixed. After taking into account interest-rate derivative financial instruments, ArcelorMittal had
exposure to 79% of its debt at fixed interest rates and 21% at floating rates as of December&nbsp;31, 2011. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Finally,
ArcelorMittal has foreign exchange exposure in relation to its debt, approximately 33% of which is denominated in euros as of September&nbsp;30, 2012, while its financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. This creates balance sheet
exposure, with a depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the euro leading to an increase in debt (including for covenant compliance measurement purposes). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

with respect to mining concessions and property rights remains weak), local opposition to land acquisition or project development (as experienced, for example, in connection with the Company&#146;s projects in India), demand for the Company&#146;s
products and general economic conditions. Any of these factors may cause the Company to delay, modify or forego some or all aspects of its expansion plans. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to execute its greenfield or brownfield

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Greenfield projects can also, in addition to general factors, have project-specific factors that increase the level of risk. For example, the Company has acquired (along with a partner) Baffinland Iron
Mines Corporation (&#147;BIMC&#148;) in view of developing the Mary River iron ore deposit in the northern end of Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic. BIMC was originally owned 70% by the Company and 30% by its partner; in December 2012 this was
revised to 50/50 (see &#147;Recent Developments&#148;). The scale of this project, which is at the feasibility development stage, and the location of the deposit raise unique challenges, including extremely harsh weather conditions, lack of
transportation and other infrastructure and environmental concerns. Similar to other greenfield development projects, it is subject to construction and permitting risks, including the risk of significant cost overruns and delays in construction,
infrastructure development, start-up and commissioning. The region is known for its harsh and unpredictable weather conditions resulting in periods of limited access and general lack of infrastructure. Other specific risks the project is subject to
include, but are not limited to (i)&nbsp;delays in obtaining, or conditions imposed by, regulatory approvals; (ii)&nbsp;risks associated with obtaining amendments to existing regulatory approvals or permits and additional regulatory approvals or
permits which will be required; (iii)&nbsp;existing litigation risks; (iv)&nbsp;fluctuations in prices for iron ore affecting the future profitability of the project; and (v)&nbsp;risks associated with the Company and its partner being in a position

it has determined can be economically mined and processed under present and anticipated conditions to extract their mineral content. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of reserves and in projecting potential future
rates of mineral production, including factors beyond ArcelorMittal&#146;s control. Reserve engineering involves estimating deposits of minerals that cannot be measured in an exact manner, and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of
the quality of available data and engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. As a result, no assurance can be given that the indicated amount of ore or coal will be recovered or that it will be recovered at the anticipated rates.
Estimates may vary, and results of mining and production subsequent to the date of an estimate may lead to revisions of estimates. Reserve estimates and estimates of mine life may require revisions based on actual production experience and other
factors. For example, fluctuations in the market prices of minerals and metals, reduced recovery rates or increased operating and capital costs due to inflation, exchange rates, mining duties or other factors may render proven and probable reserves
uneconomic to exploit and may ultimately result in a restatement of reserves. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Drilling and production risks could adversely affect the

ArcelorMittal is a holding company, it is dependent on the earnings and cash flows of, and dividends and distributions from, its operating subsidiaries to pay expenses, meet its debt service obligations, pay any cash dividends or distributions on
its ordinary shares or conduct share buy-backs. Significant cash or cash equivalent balances may be held from time to time at the Company&#146;s international operating subsidiaries, including in particular those in France, where the Company
maintains a cash management system under which most of its cash and cash equivalents are centralized, and in Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, China, Kazakhstan, Morocco, South Africa, Ukraine and Venezuela. Some of these operating subsidiaries have debt
outstanding or are subject to acquisition agreements that impose restrictions on such operating subsidiaries&#146; ability to pay dividends, but such restrictions are not significant in the context of ArcelorMittal&#146;s overall liquidity.
Repatriation of funds from operating subsidiaries may also be affected by tax and foreign exchange policies in place from time to time in the various countries where the Company operates, though none of these policies are currently significant in
the context of ArcelorMittal&#146;s overall liquidity. Under the laws of Luxembourg, ArcelorMittal will be able to pay dividends or distributions only to the extent that it is entitled to receive cash dividend distributions from its subsidiaries,
recognize gains from the sale of its assets or record share premium from the issuance of shares. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If earnings and cash flows

amounts of its tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill, which is reviewed annually or whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable) to determine whether there is any indication that the
carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable through continuing use. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is reviewed in order to determine the amount of the impairment, if any. The
recoverable amount is the higher of its net selling price (fair value reduced by selling costs) and its value in use. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset (or cash generating
unit). If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. An impairment loss is recognized as an expense immediately as part of operating income in the
consolidated statements of operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Goodwill represents the excess of the amounts ArcelorMittal paid to acquire
subsidiaries and other businesses over the fair value of their net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill has been allocated at the level of the Company&#146;s eight operating segments; the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for
internal management purposes. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually at the levels of the groups of cash generating units which correspond to the operating segments during the fourth quarter, or when changes in the circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverable amounts of the groups of cash generating units are determined from the higher of its net selling price (fair value reduced by selling costs) or its value in use calculations, which depend
on certain key assumptions. These include assumptions regarding the discount rates, growth rates and expected changes to selling prices and direct costs during the period. Management estimates discount rates using pre-tax rates that reflect current
market rates for investments of similar risk. The growth rates are based on the Company&#146;s growth forecasts, which are in line with industry trends. Changes in selling prices and direct costs are based on historical experience and expectations
of future changes in the market. See Notes 2 and 9 to ArcelorMittal&#146;s consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

the asset could fall significantly and result in impairment. While impairment does not affect reported cash flows, the decrease of the estimated recoverable amount and the related non-cash charge in the consolidated statements of operations could
have a material adverse effect on ArcelorMittal&#146;s results of operations or financial condition. For example, based on its impairment review in connection with the preparation of its 2012 financial statements, the Company expects to record an
impairment charge of $4.3 billion with respect to goodwill in its European businesses (approximately $2.5 billion, $1 billion and $800 million in the Flat Carbon Europe, Long Carbon Europe and Distribution Solutions segments, respectively).

countries in which it operates among other reasons because those countries may not be parties to treaties that recognize the mutual enforcement of court judgments. Assets in certain countries where ArcelorMittal operates could also be at risk of
expropriation or nationalization, and compensation for such assets may be below fair value. For example, the Venezuelan government has implemented a number of selective nationalizations of companies operating in the country to date. Although
ArcelorMittal believes that the long-term growth potential in emerging markets is strong, and intends them to be the focus of the majority of its near-term growth capital expenditures, legal obstacles could have a material adverse effect on the

currently under investigation by governmental entities in several countries, and are named as defendants in a number of lawsuits relating to various antitrust matters. For example, in September 2008, Standard Iron Works filed a class action
complaint in U.S. federal court against ArcelorMittal, ArcelorMittal USA LLC and other steel manufacturers, alleging that the defendants had conspired since 2005 to restrict the output of steel products in order to affect steel prices. Since the

of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, U.S. investors may find it difficult to effect service of process within the United States upon ArcelorMittal or these persons or to enforce outside the United States judgments
obtained against ArcelorMittal or these persons in U.S. courts, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Likewise, it may also be difficult for an investor to enforce in U.S. courts
judgments obtained against ArcelorMittal or these persons in courts in jurisdictions outside the United States, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. It may also be difficult for a U.S.
investor to bring an original action in a Luxembourg court predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against ArcelorMittal&#146;s directors and senior management and non-U.S. experts named in this prospectus.

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">ArcelorMittal, including its subsidiaries, is the world&#146;s leading integrated steel and mining company. With an annual production
capacity of approximately 125&nbsp;million tonnes of crude steel, ArcelorMittal had sales of $45.2 billion, steel shipments of 43.9&nbsp;million tonnes, crude steel production of 45.6&nbsp;million tonnes, iron ore production of 33.4&nbsp;million
tonnes and coal production of 4.5&nbsp;million tonnes in the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2012. ArcelorMittal had sales of approximately $94.0 billion, steel shipments of approximately 85.8&nbsp;million tonnes, crude steel production of
approximately 91.9&nbsp;million tonnes, iron ore production of 65.2&nbsp;million tonnes and coal production of 8.9&nbsp;million tonnes for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2011. As of June&nbsp;30, 2012, ArcelorMittal had approximately 255,000
employees. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">ArcelorMittal is the largest steel producer in the Americas, Africa and Europe, and is the fourth largest producer
in the CIS region, with a growing presence in Asia, including investments in China and India. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">ArcelorMittal has steel-making
operations in 20 countries on four continents, including 60 integrated, mini-mill and integrated mini-mill steel-making facilities. ArcelorMittal&#146;s steel-making operations have a high degree of geographic diversification. Approximately 38% of
its steel is produced in the Americas, approximately 46% is produced in Europe and approximately 16% is produced in other countries, such as Kazakhstan, South Africa and Ukraine. In addition, ArcelorMittal&#146;s sales of steel products are spread
over both developed and developing markets, which have different consumption characteristics. ArcelorMittal&#146;s mining operations, present in North and South America, Africa, Europe and the CIS region, are integrated with its global steel-making
facilities and are important producers of iron ore and coal in their own right. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">ArcelorMittal produces a broad range of
high-quality steel finished and semi-finished products. Specifically, ArcelorMittal produces flat steel products, including sheet and plate, long steel products, including bars, rods and structural shapes. ArcelorMittal also produces pipes and tubes
for various applications. ArcelorMittal sells its steel products primarily in local markets and through its centralized marketing organization to a diverse range of customers in approximately 174 countries including the automotive, appliance,
engineering, construction and machinery industries. The Company also produces various types of mining products including iron ore lump, fines, concentrate and sinter feed, as well as coking, pulverized coal injection (PCI) and thermal coal.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a global steel producer, the Company is able to meet the needs of different markets. Steel consumption and product
requirements clearly differ between developed markets and developing markets. Steel consumption in developed economies is weighted towards flat products and a higher value-added mix, while developing markets utilize a higher proportion of long
products and commodity grades. To meet these diverse needs, the Company maintains a high degree of product diversification and seeks opportunities to increase the proportion of its product mix consisting of higher value-added products. </FONT></P>

remedy accruing upon an event of default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the event of default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. </FONT></P>
