REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Employee Investment Committee of Chemtura Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the Chemtura Corporation Employee Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The supplemental information in the accompanying schedule of the Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2015 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

CHEMTURA CORPORATION EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
________
 
 
A.
PLAN DESCRIPTION:
 
The following description of the Chemtura Corporation Employee Savings Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the plan document for more detailed information.
 
General
 
The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by Chemtura Corporation (the “Company”) covering eligible employees of the Company and its participating subsidiaries. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).
 
The plan administrator is the Chemtura Corporation Employee Benefits Committee. Fidelity Investments is the trustee and record keeper of the Plan. The investments of the Plan are held in a trust arrangement.
 
Eligibility
The Plan allows substantially all Company employees to participate in the Plan. Employees become eligible to participate in the Plan beginning on the first day of the first calendar month following their date of hire.
 
Participant Contributions
 
Participants may contribute up to 50% of their annual compensation (as defined by the Plan) as pre-tax deferrals or Roth after-tax contributions, subject to Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) limitations, for non-highly compensated employees, or 20% for highly compensated employees. Certain bargaining employees may also elect to make non-Roth after-tax contributions. Each newly hired and re-hired employee is automatically enrolled in the Plan at a deferral percentage of 3%. The automatic enrollment also has an automatic escalate feature applicable only to non-union employees in which the participant deferral percentage is increased 1% annually up to 10%, subject to plan provisions. Pre-tax contributions of 3% of compensation begin with the first pay period occurring 30 days after the participant's participation date. The participant may elect to cease or change the amount of these contributions at any time. Participant contributions are subject to an Internal Revenue Code deferral limitation, which was $18,000 in 2015.
 
Participants who are at least age 50 may make an additional pretax "catch-up" contribution subject to IRC limitations. Participants may also contribute funds from another qualified retirement plan (“rollover contributions”), subject to certain requirements.

Rollover Contributions

Rollover contributions represent the rollover of participant balances from savings plans with prior employers.
 
Employer Contributions
 
Non-bargaining employees will receive safe harbor employer matching contributions of 100% up to a maximum of 6% of a participant’s earnings. Subject to eligibility of at least 6 months of service in the applicable year and being actively employed when the contribution is made, these employees are also eligible to receive a discretionary performance-based employer fixed contribution between 2% and 4% of their eligible compensation based on defined Company consolidated performance-based targets, with a guaranteed minimum of 2%. For 2015, the Company made a discretionary performance-based fixed contribution of $3,210,075 which was contributed to the participants accounts on March 24, 2016 after achieving the performance target commensurate with a 4% contribution.

CHEMTURA CORPORATION EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
________
 
 
Bargaining employees shall receive employer fixed and matching contributions in accordance with the following terms prescribed in the Plan document for their respective location:
 
Bargaining employees of the Company's Mapleton, Illinois facility receive matching contributions of 50% of up to 6% of eligible earnings for a maximum match of 3% of compensation.

Bargaining employees of the Company’s Adrian, Michigan facility received matching contributions of 100% of up to 6% of eligible earnings, effective August 1, 2012. Prior to that date those employees received matching contributions of 50% of up to 6% of eligible earnings. Effective July 17, 2015, the Adrian facility was closed and participants employed at this facility were 100% vested in their account balance.
 
Bargaining employees of the Company's Perth Amboy, New Jersey facility receive matching contributions of 50% of up to 6% of eligible earnings for maximum match of 3% of compensation. Effective November 1, 2006, certain bargaining employees who meet requirements agreed upon by the Company and the United Steel Workers Union are eligible for matching contributions of 100% of up to 6% of eligible earnings. These employees are also eligible to receive employer fixed contributions of 3% of compensation.
 
Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, the participant’s allocation of the Company’s contributions, and the participant’s proportional allocation of the Plan’s earnings, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, and expenses. Participants determine the percentage in which contributions are to be invested in each fund. Participants may change their investment options as set forth in the plan document.
 
Vesting
Participants are fully vested in that portion of their account which represents their contributions and the income earned thereon. Effective January 1, 2006, non-bargaining participants are automatically 100% vested in all Company matching contributions and earnings thereon. A non-bargaining participant’s interest in the Company’s fixed contributions and earnings thereon vests according to the following:
 

Completed Years of Service
Percent Vested
 
 
Less than 3
0
%
3 or more
100
%

CHEMTURA CORPORATION EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
________
  

 
Participants become 100% vested in the Company’s fixed contributions and earnings thereon upon death, change of company control, total and permanent disability, or attainment of normal retirement age.

A bargaining participant’s interest in the Company’s contributions and earnings thereon vests according to the schedules outlined in the Plan document specific to each location.
 
Participation in the Crompton Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") was frozen on December 31, 2005 and merged into the Plan effective January 1, 2006. Employer contributions to the ESOP prior to December 31, 2005 vested 25% each year and were 100% vested after 4 years of service, upon death, total and permanent disability, or attainment of normal retirement age.
 
Forfeitures
When certain terminations of participation in the Plan occur, the nonvested portion of a participant’s account represents a forfeiture, as defined by the Plan. Forfeitures are used to reduce future employer contributions or pay administrative expenses for the Plan. Total unapplied forfeitures were $1,946 and $6,328 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2015 forfeitures in the amount of $151,824 were used to reduce employer contributions and none were used to pay administrative expenses.
 
Distribution of Benefits
The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account. Benefits may be distributed to participants upon termination of employment by reason of retirement, disability, death or other separation from service. Participants who terminate employment and have a vested account balance of less than $1,000 will receive a lump sum distribution of 100% of their vested benefits. Participants who have a vested account balance in excess of $1,000 may leave their funds invested in the Plan or may elect a lump sum distribution. Participants with a vested ESOP account balance may elect to receive their ESOP balance in the form of stock shares, instead of cash. 
A participant may also request a withdrawal upon attainment of age 59 1/2 or upon demonstration by the participant to the plan administrator that the participant is suffering from “hardship”. Hardship is defined in applicable regulations promulgated or to be promulgated pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code or standards established by the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate.
 
Any participant eligible to participate in the Witco plan, a predecessor plan, as of December 31, 2000 may withdraw from the Plan any after-tax contributions and interest earned thereon.

Notes Receivable From Participants
 
A participant may borrow aggregate amounts up to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participant’s vested account balance, subject to plan limitations. The minimum loan allowed is $1,000. Loans must bear a reasonable rate of interest commensurate with local prevailing interest rates, as determined by the plan administrator. Loans are collateralized by the participant’s nonforfeitable interest in the Plan and are supported by a promissory note. Loans must be repaid over a period not to exceed five years unless the loan proceeds are used for the purchase of a primary residence, in which case a longer repayment period is allowed. A participant may have no more than two loans outstanding at any one time. Participant loans are valued at the unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest and categorized as notes receivable from participants on the statements of net assets available for plan benefits. Delinquent participant loans are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the plan document.

B.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan. The Plan invests in investment contracts through a common collective trust. As required by the standard, the statements of net assets available for plan benefits present the fair value of the common collective trust as well as the adjustment of the common collective trust from fair value to contract value. The statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.
 
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
 
Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. See Note D for discussion of fair value measurements.
 
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation (depreciation) includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.
 
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.

CHEMTURA CORPORATION EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
________
   
Plan Expenses
 
Expenses for participant loans are paid by the Plan by reducing balances of those participants initiating the transaction. All other expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan are first offset against forfeitures, if any, with any remaining balances paid by the Company at its discretion or by the Plan.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the Plan’s financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides investment options which may invest in any combination of stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, and other investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the value of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits.
Accounting Developments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-07, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its Equivalent)” and ASU No. 2015-12, “Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960); Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962); Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965)”. Both of these ASU’s are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and will be implemented for plan year end December 31, 2016. These ASU’s primarily affect the footnote disclosures required for certain investment contracts and will not have a material impact on the financial statements or supplemental schedule.

D.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
  
Accounting standards establish a framework for measuring fair value. That framework sets forth a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below.
 
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access.
 
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full terms of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 
The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used by the Plan. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2015 and 2014.
 
Common collective trust – Valued at the net asset value of units of a collective trust. The net asset value, as provided by the fund manager, is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. The net asset value is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities.
 
Mutual funds – Valued at the net asset value of the shares held by the Plan at year end as determined by quoted market prices.
 
Company stock – Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

________
  
 
The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The common collective trust held by the Plan is a stable value investment which has an objective to preserve capital and to provide a competitive level of income over time that is consistent with the preservation of capital. To achieve this objective the fund invests in fixed-income securities, bond funds and money market funds. Twelve months notice is required for a complete liquidation, however the trustee, at their discretion, may waive the twelve month waiting period. Participant directed redemptions are allowed daily with no restrictions. There are no unfunded commitments.
 
E.
TAX STATUS:
 
The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated June 27, 2014 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. Although the plan has been amended since receiving this determination letter from the IRS, the Plan’s management believes the Plan is designed and is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified, and the related trust is tax-exempt.

F.
PARTIES-IN-INTEREST:
  
Section 3(14) of ERISA defines a party-in-interest to include, among others, fiduciaries or employees of the Plan, any person who provides services to the Plan or an employer whose employees are covered by the Plan.
