ITEM 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

         On December 17, 2003, Solutia, Inc. ("Solutia") and its fourteen U.S.
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for
relief under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy
Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Debtors' chapter 11 cases were consolidated
for the purpose of joint administration and were assigned the lead case number
03-17949 (PCB).

         On October 15, 2007, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court: (a)
the Debtors' Fifth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11
of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Plan") and (b) the Debtors' Fifth Amended
Disclosure Statement pursuant to Section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code (the
"Disclosure Statement"). Copies of the Plan and Disclosure Statement, as filed
with the Bankruptcy Court, are furnished as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto,
respectively.

         Bankruptcy law does not permit solicitation of acceptances of the
Plan until the Bankruptcy Court approves the Disclosure Statement.
Accordingly, this announcement is not intended to be, nor should it be
construed as, a solicitation for a vote on the Plan. The Plan will become
effective only if it receives the requisite stakeholder approval and is
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.
