1 THE CASE OF NOVAMONT ETP 2010 Working together on societal challanges Brussels May 2010 Charlemagne Building

2 NOVAMONT: THE ORIGINS (1989) FERRUZZI MONTEDISON MONTECATINI (DONEGANI INSTITUTE) NOVAMONT (R&D CENTER) INTEGRATION OF CHEMISTRY, AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONM ENT LIVING CHEMISTRY FOR QUALITY OF LIFE ERIDANIA BEGHIN SAY (VILVOORDE RESEARCH CENTER R&D projects: materials, cobuilders for detergency, biofuel, paper additives, chemicals from hydrocracking 1994: CONCENTRATION JUST ON MATERIALS; CREATION OF NOVAOL, DEDICATED TO BIOFUELS 1996: NOVAMONT ACQUIRED BY BANCA INTESA-SANPAOLO (ex COMIT) AND OTHER INSTITUTIONAL SHAREHOLDERS

3 NOVAMONT PROFILE GROWTH TREND ACQUISITION BY INTESA- SANPAOLO BANK MONTEDISON RESEARCH CENTER ON RRM SINCE 1989 BREAK- EVEN

4 NOVAMONT PROFILE AS AN ENTERPRIS E PIONIER AND A MARKET LEADER IN THE SECTOR OF BIODEGRADABLE MATERIALS FROM RENEWABLE RESOURCES TAILOR-MADE MATERIALS FOR A WIDE RANGE OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS (Mater-Bi trade-mark) STRONG PATENT PORTFOLIO (more than 120 articles, >100patents ( 800 cases), >100MlEuro of investment, 10 awards). RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AS THE DRIVING FORCE OF NOVAMONT S INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT (>10% of turnover, more than 30% of the human resources dedicated to research) SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL GROWTH TREND OF REVENUES, WITH STEADY IMPROVEMENT IN OPERATING PERFORMANCE. Awarded by EPO and EU as Inventor of the year 2007 for the patents on bioplastics and industrial achievements
