of Albemarle&#146;s amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws (which we collectively refer to in this prospectus as the Albemarle organizational documents) that would be important to holders of Albemarle common
stock. The following summary of Albemarle common stock is subject in all respects to applicable Virginia law and the Albemarle organizational documents, which are exhibits to the registration statement that contains this prospectus. In this
&#147;Description of Common Stock&#148; section, references to &#147;Albemarle,&#148; &#147;the Company,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; &#147;our&#148; or &#147;us&#148; are only to Albemarle Corporation and not its subsidiaries. </P>

and outstanding, which were held by 2,402 shareholders of record, and no shares of Albemarle preferred stock were issued and outstanding. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Voting

of directors. Albemarle&#146;s amended and restated articles of incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Albemarle common stock have the
capacity to elect all of the members of the Albemarle board of directors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as otherwise required by law or with respect to any outstanding class or

of incorporation, shareholder action is generally effective if the votes cast in favor of the action exceed the votes cast against the action. But the election of directors requires a plurality of the votes cast by Albemarle shareholders at a
meeting at which a quorum is present. However, Albemarle&#146;s amended and restated articles of incorporation require the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Albemarle common stock for the approval of mergers,
statutory share exchanges, sales or other dispositions of all or substantially all of Albemarle&#146;s assets outside the usual and regular course of business or dissolution of Albemarle, except that the affirmative vote of 75% of the outstanding

Generally, to be timely, a shareholder&#146;s notice must be received at Albemarle&#146;s principal executive offices not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the previous year&#146;s annual meeting. If the annual
meeting is scheduled more than 30 days before, or 70 days after the first anniversary of the previous year&#146;s annual meeting, the shareholder must provide notice to the Secretary of Albemarle no earlier than within 90 to 120 days before the

documents and Virginia law contain provisions that may have the effect of impeding, delaying or discouraging the acquisition of control of Albemarle by means of a tender or exchange offer, proxy fight, merger or share exchange, open market purchases
or otherwise in a transaction not approved by the Albemarle board of directors. These provisions are designed to reduce, or have the effect of reducing, Albemarle&#146;s vulnerability to an unsolicited proposal for the restructuring or sale of all
or substantially all of Albemarle&#146;s assets or an unsolicited takeover attempt that the Albemarle board of directors does not believe is in the best interests of its shareholders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under Albemarle&#146;s amended and restated articles of incorporation, the Albemarle board of directors has the authority, without further shareholder
approval, to issue preferred stock in classes or series and to fix the designations, voting power, preferences and rights of the shares of each class or series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions with respect to that class or series.
Under this authority, the Albemarle board of directors could create and issue a class or series of preferred stock with rights, preferences or restrictions that have the effect of discriminating against an existing or prospective holder of
Albemarle&#146;s capital stock as a result of such holder beneficially owning or commencing a tender offer for a substantial amount of Albemarle common stock. One of the effects of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of preferred stock may
be to render it more difficult for, or discourage an attempt by, a potential acquiror to obtain control of Albemarle by means of a merger, share exchange, tender or exchange offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of
Albemarle&#146;s management. The issuance of shares of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Albemarle without any further action by Albemarle shareholders. </P>

describe every aspect of the indenture or the debt securities. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to all the provisions of the indenture, including definitions of some of the terms used in the indenture. You must
look to the indenture for the most complete description of what we describe in summary form in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. A copy of the indenture and a form of supplemental indenture are filed as exhibits&nbsp;to the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. See &#147;Where You Can Find More Information&#148; for information on how to obtain a copy. You should also refer to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, certain terms of which are made a
part&nbsp;of the indenture by reference. In this &#147;Description of Debt Securities&#148; section, references to &#147;Albemarle,&#148; &#147;the Company,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; &#147;our&#148; or &#147;us&#148; are only to Albemarle Corporation

relating to that series may vary from the terms described in this prospectus. The prospectus supplement relating to each series of debt securities will be attached to the front of this prospectus. There may also be a further prospectus supplement,
known as a pricing supplement, which contains the precise terms of debt securities we are offering. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue as many distinct series of debt
securities under the indenture as we wish without limitation as to aggregate principal amount under the terms of the indenture. The indenture does not limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness. This section&nbsp;summarizes the material
terms of the debt securities that are common to all series, although the prospectus supplement that describes the terms of each series of debt securities may also describe differences with the material terms summarized in this prospectus. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue senior or subordinated debt securities. Neither the senior debt securities nor the subordinated debt securities will be secured by any of our

of subordinated debt securities will indicate the approximate amount of senior indebtedness outstanding as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter. </P>

repayment or acceleration of the maturity of an OID Note, the amount payable will be determined as set forth under &#147;&#151;Redemption.&#148; This amount normally is less than the amount payable on the stated maturity date. </P>

accrued interest factor. The accrued interest factor is the sum of the interest factors calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor for each day is computed by dividing the interest rate
in effect on that day by (1)&nbsp;the actual number of days in the year, in the case of Treasury Rate Notes or CMT Rate Notes, or (2)&nbsp;360, in the case of other Floating Rate Notes. The interest factor for Floating Rate Notes for which the
interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more interest rate bases will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only one of the applicable interest rate bases applied. All percentages resulting from any calculation are
rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-millionths</FONT> of a percentage point rounded upward. For example, 9.876545% (or .09876545) will be rounded to 9.87655% (or

agents may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the debt securities and our common stock. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by
short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters or agents of a greater number of debt securities than they are required to purchase in the offering. &#147;Covered&#148; short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the
underwriters&#146; or agents&#146; option to purchase additional debt securities from us in the offering. The underwriters or agents may close out any covered short position by either exercising the option to purchase additional debt securities or
purchasing debt securities in the open market. In determining the source of debt securities to close out the covered short position, the underwriters or agents will consider, among other things, the price of debt securities available for purchase in
the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase debt securities through the option. &#147;Naked&#148; short sales are sales in excess of the option. The underwriters or agents must close out any naked short position by purchasing
debt securities in open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters or agents are concerned that there may be a downward pressure on the price of the debt securities in the open market after pricing that could
adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids for or purchases of the debt securities made by the underwriters or agents in the open market prior to the completion of the offering. Any of
these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the debt securities above independent market levels. The underwriters or agents are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The VSCA permits, and the amended and restated articles of incorporation of the Company require, the Company to indemnify its directors and officers in a
variety of circumstances, which may include indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act. Under the VSCA, a Virginia corporation generally is authorized to indemnify its directors and officers in civil and criminal actions if they acted
in good faith and believed their conduct to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. Unless limited by a corporation&#146;s
articles of incorporation, the VSCA requires such indemnification when a director or officer entirely prevails in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation, and
further provides that a corporation may make any other or further indemnity (including indemnity with respect to a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation), and may make additional provision for advances and reimbursement of expenses, if
authorized by its articles of incorporation or a shareholder-adopted bylaw or resolution, except an indemnity against willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law. The VSCA establishes a statutory limit on liability of officers and
directors of a corporation for damages assessed against them in a suit brought by or in the right of the corporation or brought by or on behalf of shareholders of the corporation and authorizes a corporation to specify a lower monetary limit on
liability (including the elimination of liability for monetary damages) in the corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation or bylaws; however, the liability of an officer or director shall not be limited if such officer or director engaged in
willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or of any federal or state securities law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s amended and restated articles
of incorporation require indemnification of directors and officers with respect to certain liabilities and expenses imposed upon them by reason of having been a director or officer, except in the case of willful misconduct or a knowing violation of
the criminal law. In addition, as permitted by the VSCA, the Company&#146;s amended and restated articles of incorporation eliminate the liability for monetary damages of a director or officer in a proceeding brought by or in the right of the
corporation or its shareholders. This elimination of liability will not apply if the director or officer engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of criminal law or any federal or state securities law. Article 10 of the VSCA is
incorporated herein by reference. </P>
