Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

  

In our earnings release issued on Wednesday, February 26, 2014 and furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed February 26, 2014, which report is amended and supplemented hereby, under the caption “Outlook,” we estimated that certain weather-related outages in the first quarter of 2014 would result in lost production of approximately five kilotons, “primarily in our USBC product family.” As we stated in the conference call discussing the release, the reference to “USBC” should have been to “HSBC.” The remainder of the discussion related to that matter, including our estimate of the financial impact of the outage, which is subject to risks and uncertainties as described under the caption “Forward Looking Statements,” remains unchanged.
