ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Under this shelf registration statement, we may sell, at any time and from time to time, in one or more offerings, the securities described in this prospectus. As allowed by the SEC’s rules, this prospectus provides a general description of the offered securities. Each time we offer securities, a prospectus supplement containing specific information about the terms of that offering will be provided. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus, and accordingly, to the extent inconsistent, information in this prospectus is superseded by the information in the prospectus supplement. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

We have not authorized anyone to provide you with any information other than that provided or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or in any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. We do not take any responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell, nor a solicitation of an offer to buy, the securities offered in this prospectus by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such an offering or solicitation. Neither the delivery of this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectus nor any sale made under this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus of the securities described herein shall under any circumstances imply, and you should not assume, that the information provided by this prospectus, any prospectus supplement, any free writing prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front cover of the applicable document, regardless of the time of delivery of such document or of any sale of our securities. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

As used throughout this prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires or indicates:

•

“Huntsman Corp.” means Huntsman Corporation, and not its subsidiaries;

•

“Huntsman International” means Huntsman International LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntsman Corp., and not its subsidiaries; and

•

“Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Huntsman Corp. and its subsidiaries, including Huntsman International, on a consolidated basis.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS

Before you invest in our securities, in addition to the other information included or incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, you should carefully consider the risk factors under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed subsequent to such Annual Report (and as updated by any other filings we make with the SEC), which are incorporated herein by reference. These risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by risk factors contained in other reports that we file with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which will be subsequently incorporated herein by reference, by any prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus or by a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. In addition, new risks may emerge at any time and we cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

With respect to the Company, certain information set forth in this prospectus contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than historical factual information are forward-looking statements, including without limitation statements regarding: projections of revenue, expenses, profit, profit margins, tax rates, tax provisions, cash flows, pension and benefit obligations and funding requirements, our liquidity position or other projected financial measures; management’s plans and strategies for future operations, including statements relating to anticipated operating performance, cost reductions, restructuring activities, new product and service developments, competitive strengths or market position, acquisitions, divestitures, spin-offs or other distributions, strategic opportunities, financing activities, stock repurchases, dividends and executive compensation; growth, declines and other trends in markets we sell into; new or modified laws, regulations and accounting pronouncements; outstanding claims, legal proceedings, or the potential outcomes thereof, tax audits and assessments and other contingent liabilities; foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in those rates; general economic and capital markets conditions; the timing of any of the foregoing; assumptions underlying any of the foregoing; and any other statements that address events or developments that we intend or believe will or may occur in the future. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipates” or “intends” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. We may also make additional forward-looking statements from time to time. All such subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, by us or on our behalf, are also expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

All forward-looking statements, including without limitation any projections derived from management’s examination of historical operating trends, are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will result or be achieved. All forward-looking statements apply only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements whether because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by securities and other applicable law.

There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in or contemplated by this prospectus.

You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and our other filings with the SEC.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

Huntsman International may offer debt securities, which will be issued under an indenture entered into between Huntsman International and a banking or financial institution, as trustee.

The following description of the terms of the debt securities sets forth certain general terms and provisions. The particular terms of the debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement and the extent, if any, to which such general provisions may apply to the debt securities will be described in the related prospectus supplement. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of a particular issue of debt securities, reference must be made to both the related prospectus supplement and to the following description.

General

The aggregate principal amount of debt securities that may be issued is unlimited. The debt securities may be issued in one or more series as may be authorized from time to time.

Reference is made to the applicable prospectus supplement for the following terms of the debt securities (if applicable):

•

title and aggregate principal amount;

•

whether the securities will be senior or subordinated;

•

applicable subordination provisions, if any;

•

conversion or exchange into other securities;

whether securities issued will be secured or unsecured, and if secured, what the collateral will consist of;

One or more series of debt securities may be sold at a substantial discount below their stated principal amount, bearing no interest or interest at a rate which at the time of issuance is below market rates. One or more series of debt securities may be variable rate debt securities that may be exchanged for fixed rate debt securities.

U.S. federal income tax consequences and special considerations, if any, applicable to any such series will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Debt securities may be issued where the amount of principal and/or interest payable is determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity indices or other factors. Holders of such securities may receive a principal amount or a payment of interest that is greater than or less than the amount of principal or interest otherwise payable on such dates, depending upon the value of the applicable currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors. Information as to the methods for determining the amount of principal or interest, if any, payable on any date, the currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors to which the amount payable on such date is linked and certain additional U.S. federal income tax considerations will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

We expect most debt securities to be issued in fully registered form without coupons and in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Subject to the limitations provided in the indenture and in the prospectus supplement, debt securities that are issued in registered form may be transferred or exchanged at the corporate trust office of the trustee, without the payment of any service charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Global Securities

The debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary identified in the prospectus supplement. Global securities will be issued in registered form and in either temporary or definitive form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual debt securities, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary for such global security to a nominee of such depositary or by a nominee of such depositary to such depositary or another nominee of such depositary or by such depositary or any such nominee to a successor of such depositary or a nominee of such successor. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any debt securities of a series and the rights of and limitations upon owners of beneficial interests in a global security will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Guarantees

The debt securities of any series may be guaranteed by Huntsman Corp. Each prospectus supplement will describe, as to the debt securities to which it relates, guarantees by Huntsman Corp, if any.

Governing Law

The indenture and the debt securities shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the offered securities in one or more of the following ways from time to time:

•

to or through underwriters for resale to purchasers;

•

directly to purchasers, including our affiliates;

•

to or through agents or dealers to purchasers; or

•

through a combination of any of these methods.

The distribution of the offered securities under this prospectus may occur from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.

We may have agreements with the underwriters, dealers, and agents to indemnify them against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments which the underwriters, dealers, or agents may be required to make as a result of those liabilities.

We will identify the specific plan of distribution, including any underwriters, dealers, agents or direct purchasers, and their compensation in a prospectus supplement.

In connection with any offering of the securities under this prospectus, underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the debt securities or any other securities the prices of which may be used to determine payments on the debt securities. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Underwriters may also impose a penalty bid in any offering of debt securities offered under this prospectus and any prospectus supplement through a syndicate of underwriters. These activities by underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the debt securities offered under this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. As a result, the price of such debt securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the securities will be passed upon for us by Kirkland & Ellis LLP, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

The following is an estimate of the expenses (all of which are to be paid by the Registrants) that we may incur in connection with the debt securities and guarantees being registered hereby.

SEC registration fee	$	*
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority filing fee		(**)
Registrar and paying agent fees		(**)
Printing expenses		(**)
Legal fees and expenses		(**)
Trustee fees and expenses		(**)
Accounting fees and expenses		(**)
Miscellaneous		(**)
Total	$	(**)

(*)

In accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) under the Securities Act, the SEC registration fee is omitted because it will be paid at the time of any particular offering of securities under the registration statement and is therefore not currently determinable.

(**)

Because an indeterminate amount of securities is covered by this registration statement, the expenses in connection with the issuance and distribution of securities are not currently determinable. A prospectus supplement will set forth the estimated expenses payable in connection with a particular offering of securities.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Huntsman Corporation

The Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors and officers to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties. Huntsman Corp.’s certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions taken as a director, except for liability for breach of duty of loyalty; for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law; under Section 174 of the DGCL (unlawful dividends); or for transactions from which the director derived improper personal benefit. Huntsman Corp.’s certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of officers for monetary damages for actions taken as an officer, except for liability: for breach of duty of loyalty; for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; for any transaction from which the officer derived improper personal benefit; or in any action by or in the right of Huntsman Corp.

Huntsman Corp.’s amended and restated bylaws provide that it must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. Huntsman Corp. is also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance providing indemnification for our directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities. Huntsman Corp. believes that these indemnification provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in Huntsman Corp.’s certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit Huntsman Corp. and its stockholders. In addition, your investment may be

II-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

Huntsman Corp. entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers in connection with the completion of its initial public offering. Pursuant to these agreements, Huntsman Corp. agrees to provide customary indemnification to its officers and directors against expenses incurred by such persons in connection with their service as directors or officers (as applicable) or in connection with their service at Huntsman Corp.’s request as directors, officers, trustees, employees or agents of other entities.

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of its directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

In the opinion of the SEC, indemnification provisions that purport to include indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act are contrary to public policy and are, therefore, unenforceable.

Huntsman International LLC

Huntsman International LLC is empowered by Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (“DLLCA”), subject to the procedures and limitations therein, to indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement.

Section 7.2 of the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Huntsman International LLC authorizes the company, subject in all respects to any requirements or limitations contained in the DLLCA, to indemnify and hold harmless its managers, officers and, if applicable, employees and other agents to the same extent, in the same manner and subject to the same rights, terms, conditions and procedures (including, without limitation, with respect to the advancement of expenses) as such categories of persons would be indemnified and held harmless by the parent company of the company pursuant to the amended and restated bylaws, certificate of incorporation or other relevant charter documents of its parent company; provided, that if at any time the company does not have a parent company with common stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange or traded through the Nasdaq national market, the company shall during such time provide indemnification and advancement of expenses to its managers, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the DLLCA.

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i)

Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date;

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of each Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, each undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;

(iii)

(iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

(6)

That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(7)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
