Paris, June 16, 2009 ---- In compliance with the decision of the Combined Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 3, 2007, Rhodia has launched a consolidation of its shares on June 12, 2007. This consolidation has been performed on the basis of a parity of 12 old shares to one new share.

The consolidation period ended on June 11, 2009, at the end of the day. In accordance with the notice to shareholders issued at the start of the consolidation period, new shares that have not been claimed by their beneficiaries by this date were sold on the stock exchange on June 15, 2009 at an average rate of 6.1799 euros per share.

The net product of the sale of these securities will be available to beneficiaries of non-consolidated shares for a period of 10 years in a blocked account opened with BNP Paribas Securities Services.
