expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements if one or more of the underlying assumptions and expectations proves to be inaccurate or is unrealized. The known material factors, risks, and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are identified and discussed under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in this prospectus and &#147;Part&nbsp;I&#151;Item&nbsp;1A. Risk Factors&#148; in our Annual Report on <FONT

restated certificate of incorporation, our amended and restated bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) described in this section may delay or make more difficult acquisitions or changes of control of Eastman not
approved by our Board of Directors. These provisions could have the effect of discouraging third parties from making proposals involving an acquisition or change of control of Eastman, although these kinds of proposals, if made, might be considered
desirable by a majority of our stockholders. These provisions may also have the effect of making it more difficult for third parties to cause the replacement of our current management without the concurrence of our Board of Directors. </P>

and restated certificate of incorporation also provides that our Board of Directors has the exclusive right to fill vacancies, including vacancies created by expansion of our Board of Directors. This provision could have the effect of discouraging a
potential acquiror from attempting to obtain control of Eastman. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provides that directors may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
voting power of all of the shares of our capital stock then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. This provision, in conjunction with the provision authorizing our Board of Directors to fill vacant directorships, could prevent

a resolution adopted by a majority of the members of our Board of Directors then in office, or (ii)&nbsp;upon the written request of the holders of at least 25% of our outstanding voting stock in accordance with the requirements set forth in our
amended and restated bylaws. These provisions could delay a stockholder vote on certain matters, such as proposed business combinations or removal of directors, and could have the effect of discouraging a potential acquiror from making a tender

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our amended and restated bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before a meeting of stockholders and for
nominations by our stockholders of candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting or a special meeting at which directors are to be elected. As described more fully in our amended and restated bylaws, only such business may be conducted
at a meeting of stockholders as has been brought before the meeting by, or at the direction of, our Board of Directors, or by a stockholder who has given to the Company&#146;s Corporate Secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the
stockholder&#146;s intention to bring that business before the meeting. The presiding officer at a meeting of stockholders has the authority to make these determinations. Only persons who are nominated by, or at the direction of, our Board of
Directors, or who are nominated by a stockholder who has given timely written notice, in proper form, to the Company&#146;s Corporate Secretary prior to a meeting at which directors are to be elected will be eligible for election as our directors.
In addition to the director nomination process described above, our amended and restated bylaws permit one or more stockholders, who have owned continuously at least 3% of the voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors for
at least three years, up to and including the date of the applicable annual meeting of stockholders, to include up to a specified number of director nominees in our proxy materials for an annual meeting of stockholders. The maximum number of
stockholder nominees permitted under the proxy access provisions of our amended and restated bylaws is 20% of the number of directors in office as of the last day on which a notice of proxy access nomination may be delivered. Stockholders must give
timely written notice to the Company&#146;s Corporate Secretary, in proper form, to include director nominees in our proxy materials for an annual meeting of stockholders. With the exception of proxy access, these provisions could make it more
difficult for stockholders to raise matters affecting control of Eastman, including tender offers for our securities, business combinations or the election or removal of directors, for a stockholder vote. </P>

facilitate the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt. For example, the issuance of new shares might impede a business combination if the terms of those shares include voting rights which would enable a holder to block

also consider such matters as the business and financial condition of the acquiror, the competence, experience and integrity of the acquiror&#146;s management, and prospects for successful conclusion of the business combination. This provision gives
our Board of Directors the authority to take into account factors other than the financial interests of the stockholders and could result in the rejection of a business combination or tender offer for our securities even if proposed at a price

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under certain circumstances, Section&nbsp;203 of the DGCL makes it more difficult for a person who would be
an &#147;interested stockholder&#148; to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period, although the stockholders may elect to exclude a corporation from the restrictions imposed under Section&nbsp;203 of the DGCL.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not exclude us from the restrictions imposed under Section&nbsp;203 of the DGCL. The provisions of Section&nbsp;203 of the DGCL may encourage companies interested in acquiring us to
negotiate in advance with our Board of Directors, since the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if a majority of the directors then in office approved either the business combination or the transaction that results in the stockholder
becoming an interested stockholder. These provisions may discourage or make more difficult an attempt by a stockholder or other entity to acquire control of Eastman. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management.
It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests. </P>

system that we select for any security for this purpose is called the &#147;depositary&#148; for that security. The depositary holds the debt securities on behalf of other financial institutions
that participate in the depositary&#146;s book-entry system; these participating institutions, in turn, hold beneficial interests in the securities on behalf of themselves or their customers. Under the indenture, only the person in whose name a
security is registered is recognized as the holder of that security. Consequently, for securities issued in global form, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities and we will make all payments on the securities, including
deliveries of any property other than cash, to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its
participants do so under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the securities. As a result, investors will not own securities directly. Instead, they will own
beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the depositary&#146;s book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant. As long as the securities are issued in global
form, investors will be indirect owners, and not holders, of the securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Depository Trust Company (&#147;DTC&#148;) will act as the depositary
for the debt securities. The debt securities will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (DTC&#146;s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a &#147;banking organization&#148; within the meaning of the New York
Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a &#147;clearing corporation&#148; within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a &#147;clearing agency&#148; registered pursuant to the provisions of Section&nbsp;17A of the
Exchange Act. DTC holds securities that DTC participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among DTC participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges in deposited securities through electronic
computerized book-entry changes in DTC participants&#146; accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC participants include both U.S. and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> securities
brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. Indirect access to the DTC system also is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers, trust companies and clearing corporations that
clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly. DTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing Corporation (&#147;DTCC&#148;). DTCC is the holding company for DTC,
National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. The rules applicable to DTC and DTC participants are on file
with the SEC. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Purchases of debt securities within the DTC system must be made by or through DTC
participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of debt securities, or the beneficial owner, is in turn to be recorded on the DTC participants&#146; records.
Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings from the
DTC participant through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the debt securities will be effected only through entries made on the books of DTC participants acting on behalf of beneficial
owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in debt securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the debt securities is discontinued. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To facilitate subsequent transfers, all debt securities deposited by direct participants with DTC will be registered in the name of DTC&#146;s partnership
nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of debt securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. or such other nominee will not change the
beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the debt securities. DTC&#146;s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts such debt securities are credited, which may or may not be
the beneficial owners. The participants are responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the debt securities of a particular series are being redeemed, DTC&#146;s practice is to determine

generally, neither DTC nor Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. will itself consent or vote with respect to the securities. Under its usual procedures DTC would mail an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns
Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co.&#146;s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants to whose accounts such securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy). </P>

owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of such participants and not of DTC, the trustee or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to
time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of us or the trustee, disbursement of such
payments to direct participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the beneficial owners will be the responsibility of direct and indirect participants. </P>

Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL, Article VIII of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation eliminates the personal liability of our directors to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty. Directors
remain liable for (i)&nbsp;any breach of the duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;any act or omission not in good faith or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;any violation of
Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL, which proscribes the payment of dividends and stock purchases or redemptions under certain circumstances, and (iv)&nbsp;any transaction from which directors derive an improper personal benefit. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article VIII of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provides that any future repeal or amendment of its terms will not adversely

Delaware law which further eliminate or limit the liability of directors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Indemnification and Insurance</I>. In accordance with Section&nbsp;145 of
the DGCL, which allows and, in some cases, requires the indemnification of directors and officers under certain circumstances, Article VII of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and certain provisions of our amended and restated
bylaws grant our directors and officers a right to indemnification for all expenses relating to civil, criminal, administrative or investigative procedures to which they are a party (i)&nbsp;by reason of the fact that they are or were directors or
officers of Eastman or (ii)&nbsp;by reason of the fact that, while they are or were directors or officers of Eastman, they are or were serving at the request of Eastman as directors, trustees, officers, employees or agents of another enterprise.

expenses shall only be made upon delivery to us by the indemnitee of an undertaking to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined by final judicial decision from which there is
no further right to appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under Article VII of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or otherwise. In addition, Article VII of our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation provides that our directors and officers shall be indemnified to the fullest extent not prohibited by Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL, or any successor provisions or amendments thereunder. In the event that any such successor provisions
or amendments provide indemnification rights broader than permitted prior thereto, Article VII of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation allows such broader indemnification rights to apply retroactively with respect to any predating
alleged action or inaction and also allows the indemnification to continue after an indemnitee has ceased to be a director or officer of Eastman and to inure to the benefit of the indemnitee&#146;s heirs, executors and administrators. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a claim for indemnification under Article VII of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation is not paid in full by us or an advancement of
expenses is not made by us within a prescribed period of time and a suit is filed in relation thereto, our amended and restated bylaws entitle the indemnitee to recover the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit, if the indemnitee is
successful in whole or in part. Our amended and restated bylaws also entitle the indemnitee to recover the expense of defending a suit brought by us to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, if the indemnitee is
successful in whole or in part. Our amended and restated bylaws also entitle us to recover advanced expenses upon final adjudication that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL. Under
our amended and restated bylaws, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified lies with us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article VII of our amended and
restated certificate of incorporation further provides that the right to indemnification is not exclusive of any other right which any indemnitee may have or thereafter acquire under any statute, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
or our amended and restated bylaws, any agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and permits, but does not require, us to indemnify and advance expenses to its agents and employees to the same (or any lesser or
greater) extent as directors and officers. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that we shall indemnify and advance expenses to employees to the same extent as to directors and officers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for directors and officers and controlling persons pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our amended and restated bylaws authorize us to purchase insurance for directors, officers, trustees, employees, or agents of Eastman or another enterprise
against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such persons against such expense or liability under the DGCL. We intend to maintain insurance coverage for our officers and directors as well as insurance
coverage to reimburse us for potential costs of our corporate indemnification of directors and officers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are party to indemnification agreements (the
&#147;Indemnification Agreements&#148;) with each director and certain executive officers of Eastman. One of the purposes of the Indemnification Agreements is to attempt to specify the extent to which persons entitled to indemnification thereunder
(the &#147;Indemnitees&#148;) may receive indemnification. Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreements, an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification for claims regarding (i)&nbsp;the act or failure to act in Indemnitee&#146;s capacity as a director,
officer, employee or agent of Eastman (or any other entity as to which Indemnitee is serving in such capacity at Eastman&#146;s request); (ii) in respect of any transaction or other activity of Eastman or such other entity; and
(iii)&nbsp;Indemnitee&#146;s status as a director, officer, employee or other representative of Eastman or such other entity. The Indemnification Agreements are in addition to and are not intended to limit any rights of indemnification which are
available under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws, or otherwise. In </P>
