<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The methanol business is a highly competitive commodity industry and prices are affected by supply and demand fundamentals.
Methanol prices have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, characterized by cyclicality. Factors influencing supply and demand for methanol and related risks are found below. We are not able to predict future methanol supply and
demand balances, global economic activity, methanol prices or energy prices, all of which are affected by numerous factors beyond our control. Since methanol is the only product we produce and market, a decline in the price of methanol has a
significant negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Future demand for methanol may be adversely affected by energy
prices, global economic growth rates and government regulations and policies. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Energy Prices </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Approximately 45% of methanol demand is from energy-related applications. These include <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">methanol-to-olefins,</FONT></FONT> methyl tertiary-butyl ether, direct blending of methanol into gasoline (primarily in China), <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">di-methyl</FONT> ether, biodiesel, <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">methanol-to-gasoline,</FONT></FONT> industrial boilers and marine fuel. Over the past number of years, methanol demand growth has been led by strong demand from these applications, in part,
as relatively high oil prices generated an economic incentive to substitute lower cost methanol for petroleum products or as a feedstock in energy-related products. Over the past few years, the fastest growing application where methanol serves as a
substitute for an energy product has been <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">methanol-to-olefins,</FONT></FONT> where methanol is an alternative feedstock in the production of olefins. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Methanol-to-olefins</FONT></FONT> use makes up approximately 14% of total methanol demand. Olefins have historically been made from ethane and naptha which are energy based feedstocks. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Methanol can also be blended directly with gasoline, and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">di-methyl</FONT> ether (a methanol
derivative) can be blended with liquefied petroleum gas (propane). Because of this relationship, methanol demand is sensitive to the pricing of these energy products, which in turn are generally linked to global energy prices. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">We cannot provide assurance that energy prices will not negatively impact methanol demand growth, which could have an adverse

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Approximately 55% of methanol demand is from traditional chemical applications. As these applications are used to manufacture
products used in a wide variety of industrial products and consumer goods, the rate of growth in demand for methanol from these applications tends to be correlated with overall global economic growth. Any slowdown in the global or regional economies
can negatively impact demand for methanol and have a detrimental impact on methanol prices. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Government Regulations and Policies

health effects of methanol as part of a standard review of chemicals under its Integrated Risk Information System (&#147;IRIS&#148;), a database of chemical health effects. More recently, the EPA
has indicated a preference to evaluate chemicals under the Toxic Substances Control Act (&#147;TSCA&#148;); however, methanol has not been selected for review under TSCA. No authoritative body has classified methanol as a carcinogen. A draft
assessment for methanol was released by the EPA in 2010 classifying methanol as &#147;Likely to be Carcinogenic to Humans.&#148; In 2011, the EPA divided the draft assessment for methanol into cancer and
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cancer</FONT> assessments. In September 2013, the EPA released the final <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cancer</FONT> assessment, in which it established the maximum ingestion and inhalation levels for
methanol that it claims will not result in adverse health impacts. The timeline for the final cancer assessment remains unknown, and no activity on the cancer assessment for methanol is currently contained on the EPA&#146;s work plan. We are unable
to determine whether the current draft classification will be maintained in the final cancer assessment or if this will lead other government agencies to reclassify methanol. Any reclassification could reduce future methanol demand, which could have
an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">In 2018, methanol demand for the production of
formaldehyde represented approximately 30% of global demand. The largest use for formaldehyde is as a component of urea-formaldehyde and phenol-formaldehyde resins, which are used in adhesives for plywood, particleboard, oriented strand board,
medium-density fibreboard and other reconstituted or engineered wood products. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">There is also demand for formaldehyde as a

however, the EPA is reviewing this classification for formaldehyde as part of a standard review of chemicals. There is no firm timeline for the final assessment. In 2010, the EPA released its draft formaldehyde assessment, proposing formaldehyde as
&#147;Known to be Carcinogenic to Humans.&#148; The National Toxicology Program (&#147;NTP&#148;) lists formaldehyde as &#147;Known to be a Human Carcinogen&#148; under the NTP Report on Carcinogens. EPA uses IRIS assessments as a basis for
regulatory actions such as restricting emissions from products containing formaldehyde. The EPA continues to develop a revised IRIS assessment of formaldehyde. In 2019, formaldehyde was selected as a priority chemical for review under TSCA with an
anticipated final risk evaluation date of December 2022. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">In 2009, the US National Cancer Institute (&#147;NCI&#148;)
published a report on the health effects of occupational exposure to formaldehyde and a possible link to leukemia, multiple myeloma and Hodgkin&#146;s disease. The NCI report concluded that there may be an increased risk of cancers of the blood and
bone marrow related to a measure of peak formaldehyde exposure. The NCI report was the first part of an update of the 2004 NCI study that indicated possible links between formaldehyde exposure and nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemia. The
International Agency for Research on Cancer also concluded that there is sufficient evidence in humans of a causal association of formaldehyde with leukemia. In 2011, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services&#146; National Toxicology Program
released its 12th Report on Carcinogens, modifying its listing of formaldehyde from &#147;Reasonably Anticipated to be a Human Carcinogen&#148; to &#147;Known to be a Human Carcinogen.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">We are unable to determine at this time if the EPA or other governments or government agencies will reclassify formaldehyde or
what limits could be imposed related to formaldehyde emissions in the United States or elsewhere. Any such actions could reduce future methanol demand for use in producing formaldehyde, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations
and financial condition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Increase in competitively priced methanol supply may have a negative impact on the methanol price. </I></B></P>

including the availability and cost of raw materials including coal and natural gas, freight costs, capital costs and government policies. Methanol supply can become available from the
construction of new methanol plants, by restarting idle methanol plants, by carrying out major expansions of existing plants or by debottlenecking existing plants to increase their production capacity. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Approximately 4.0&nbsp;million tonnes of new annualized capacity outside of China was introduced in 2018, including the
1.8&nbsp;million tonne Natgasoline methanol plant which commenced operation late in the second quarter in Beaumont, Texas, the 1.7&nbsp;million tonne Marjan methanol plant that started up late in the third quarter in Iran and the 0.5&nbsp;million
tonne Shchekinoazot methanol plant in Russia. In China, we estimate that approximately 2.7&nbsp;million tonnes of net new production capacity was added in 2018. In the first quarter of 2019, the Kaveh Methanol Company in Iran announced completion of
their 2.3&nbsp;million tonne plant. We estimate that approximately 1.3&nbsp;million tonnes of net new annual production capacity in China has been added in the first half of 2019. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Over the next few years, the majority of large-scale capacity additions outside of China are expected to be in the Americas
and the Middle East. Caribbean Gas Chemical Limited is constructing a 1.0&nbsp;million tonne plant in Trinidad with announced production targeted for late 2019. Yuhuang Chemical Industries Inc. announced it is progressing plans to complete a
1.7&nbsp;million tonne project in St. James Parish, Louisiana with an announced target completion date in 2020. We recently announced a final investment decision to construct a 1.8&nbsp;million tonne plant which will be our third plant in Geismar,
Louisiana, with production targeted for the second half of 2022. There are other large-scale projects under discussion in North America; however, we believe that there has been limited committed capital to date. There are a number of projects under
construction in Iran, including the Bushehr plant, that we continue to monitor. We anticipate that new <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-integrated</FONT> capacity additions in China will be modest due to a continuing degree of restrictions
placed by the Chinese government on new standalone coal-based capacity additions. We expect that production from new capacity in China will be consumed in that country. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">We cannot provide assurance that new supply additions will not outpace the level of future demand growth, thereby contributing

operating costs. Accordingly, our results from operations depend in large part on the availability and security of supply and the price of natural gas. If, for any reason, we are unable to obtain sufficient natural gas for any of our plants on
commercially acceptable terms or we experience interruptions in the supply of contracted natural gas, we could be forced to curtail production or close such plants, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial
condition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>New Zealand </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">We have three plants in New Zealand with a total production capacity of up to 2.4&nbsp;million tonnes of methanol per year,
depending on natural gas composition. Two plants are located at Motunui and the third is located at nearby Waitara Valley. We have entered into several agreements with various natural gas suppliers to underpin our New Zealand operations with terms
that range in length up to 2029. All agreements in New Zealand are <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">take-or-pay</FONT></FONT> agreements and include U.S. dollar base and variable price components where the variable
price component is adjusted by a formula related to methanol prices above a certain level. We believe this pricing relationship enables these facilities to be competitive at all points in the methanol price cycle and provides gas suppliers with
attractive returns. Certain of these contracts require the supplier to deliver a minimum amount of natural gas with additional volume dependent on the success of exploring and developing the related natural gas field. </P>

domestic operations in North America. The Company is committed to doing business in accordance with all applicable laws and its code of business conduct, but there is a risk that it, its subsidiaries or affiliated entities or their respective
officers, directors, employees or agents could act in violation of its codes and applicable laws. Any such violation could severely damage our reputation and could result in substantial civil and criminal fines or penalties. Such damage to our

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The Board of Inland Revenue of Trinidad and Tobago has audited and issued assessments against our 63.1% owned joint venture,
Atlas, in respect of the 2005 to 2012 financial years. All subsequent tax years remain open to assessment. The assessments relate to the pricing arrangements of certain long-term fixed-price sales contracts with affiliates that commenced in 2005 and
continue through 2019. The long-term fixed-price sales contracts with affiliates were established as part of the formation of Atlas and management believes were reflective of market considerations at that time. Atlas had partial relief from
corporation income tax until late July 2014. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">During the periods under assessment and continuing through 2014,
approximately 50% of Atlas produced methanol was sold under these fixed-price contracts. From late 2014 through 2019 fixed-prices sales represent approximately 10% of Atlas produced methanol. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Management believes it is impractical to disclose a reasonable estimate of the potential contingent liability due to the wide
range of assumptions and interpretations implicit in the assessments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The Company has lodged objections to the
assessments. Although there can be no assurance that these tax assessments will not have a material adverse impact, based on the merits of the cases and advice from legal counsel, we believe our position should be sustained, that Atlas has filed its
tax returns and paid applicable taxes in compliance with Trinidadian tax law, and as such has not accrued for any amounts relating to these assessments. Contingencies inherently involve the exercise of significant judgment, and as such the outcomes
of these assessments and the financial impact to the Company could be material. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">We anticipate the resolution of this
matter in the court system to be lengthy and, at this time, cannot predict a date as to when we expect this matter to be resolved. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>There can be no

indenture as supplemented and as will be supplemented is referred to herein as the &#147;Indenture&#148;). The Indenture is by its terms subject to and governed by the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. A copy of the form of Indenture has

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">Holders may not be able to require us to purchase their Offered Debt Securities in certain circumstances involving a
significant change in the composition of our board of directors, including a proxy contest where our board of directors does not endorse the dissident slate of directors but approves them as Continuing Directors. In this regard, a decision of the
Delaware Chancery Court (not involving us or our securities) considered a change of control redemption provision of an indenture governing publicly traded debt securities that is substantially similar to the change of control event described in
clause (4)&nbsp;of the definition of &#147;Change of Control.&#148; In its decision, the court noted that a board of directors may &#147;approve&#148; a dissident shareholder&#146;s nominees solely for purposes of such an indenture, provided the
board of directors determines in good faith that the election of the dissident nominees would not be materially adverse to the interests of the corporation or its stockholders (without taking into consideration the interests of the holders of debt
securities in making this determination). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">The concept of Change of Control includes the direct or indirect sale, lease,
transfer, conveyance or other disposition of &#147;all or substantially all&#148; of the properties or assets of us and our Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase
&#147;substantially all,&#148; there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of Offered Debt Securities to require us to repurchase the Offered Debt Securities as a result of a
sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of us and our Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="justify">There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient funds available at the time of any Change of Control Triggering Event,
and consummate a Change of Control Offer for all Offered Debt Securities then outstanding, at a purchase price for 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Change of Control Payment Date. The terms of our other
outstanding indebtedness also provide for repurchase rights upon a change in control under different terms. As a result, holders of our other indebtedness may have the ability to require us to repurchase their debt securities before the holders of
the Offered Debt Securities offered hereby would have such repurchase rights. In addition, a Change of Control and certain other change of control events would constitute an event of default under our credit facility. As a result, we may not be able
to make any of the required payments on, or repurchases of, the Offered Debt Securities without obtaining the consent of the lenders under our credit facility with respect to such payment or repurchase. </P>

through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants&#146; accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and <FONT

Registrant&#146;s request and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he or she had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. Such indemnification may be
made in connection with a derivative action only with court approval. A director or officer (or other individual as described above) is entitled to indemnification from the Registrant as a matter of right in respect of all costs, charges and
expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which he or she is made a party because of their association with the Registrant or other entity
if such individual is not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done and has fulfilled the conditions set forth above. </P>

acting in a similar capacity, of another entity and his or her heirs and legal representatives against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect
of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which he or she is involved by reason of his or her being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant or such body corporate, if the director or officer
(a)&nbsp;acted honestly and in good faith with a view of the best interests of the Registrant or such body corporate, and (b)&nbsp;in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had
reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. The Registrant has also entered into indemnity agreements with its directors and officers which provide substantially the same rights as provided for in the CBCA. </P>
