Discontinued Operations - Integrated Nylon Segment

As announced previously, Solutia has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its nylon business and results for this business are reported as Discontinued Operations.

Our going-forward portfolio of high-margin businesses with world-leading positions sets the stage for long-term growth and success once economic conditions improve," added Quinn.

For the first quarter of 2009, the Company reduced net debt by $50 million to $1,314 million and had liquidity of $163 million.
