Multi-Product Plant producing Hot Rolled Coils, Tinplate, Galvanised sheet, Organic Coated sheet, Heavy Plate, Rail and Wire Rod.

Fully integrated plant.

Coke self-sufficient plant.

Strategic location with port services close to the factories. Raw materials are unloaded at the port of Gijn, which can receive vessels of up to 250kt. Iron making facilities are linked to the port by belt conveyors.

Its industrial configuration allows capacity to be increased across the complete product range.

Site experienced in shared services and with capacity to extend scope to other activities and companies.

Implementation of Arco Plan, a top management program, resulted in substantial savings. Basis for further improvements.

How is ArcelorMittal Asturias reacting to the crisis?

ArcelorMIttal Asturias, being a multi-product site, is being less affected than other sites of the Group by the fall in demand of the automotive and construction sectors.

The Asturian sites are currently being operated at 76% of their capacity thanks to the strength of some of its products: rail, heavy plate and tinplate (in 2008 rail and tinplate mills reached their annual production records)

ArcelorMittal Asturias needs to respond to the current circumstances in a dynamic and flexible way.

Adaptability is key in order to pull out of this difficult period in a strong position.

Short term measures:

Reduce working capital. Minimize inventories (raw materials, slabs, working progress and final products)

Zero increase in CAPEX and OPEX. Investments are limited to safety, legal compliance and environmental issues.

Adaptation of facility running to the load: in December, one of the two blast furnaces in Asturias was stopped. If the situation remains unchanged, the furnace will have to be stopped again for a few months in Q3. In Finishing facilities, one Hot Dip Galvanizing Line and one Organic Coating Line (both in Avils) are currently stopped. Blast furnaces are being operated in an all-coke mode and small diameter tuyeres are being used. Metallic charge is adapted as a function of the scrap or hot metal requirements.

Client service improvement.

Maintenance of fixed costs in terms of /t and reduction of SG&A expenditure.

Adaptation of internal and external headcount to workload. Flexibility on working time / advanced holidays / time counters. Reassignment of own employees to other functions. No salary increase in 2009. Align variable pay KPIs and targets to current priorities and workload.

16

How is ArcelorMittal Asturias reacting to the crisis?

Mid term measures:

We enter into a cyclic period which requires a flexible production system. We should be able to increase or decrease production if needed.

Local Continuous improvement plans must be accelerated. That means:

Adapting the permanent workforce not to 100% of capacity but to an 80% capacity baseline.

Building flexible solutions to meet cyclic demand (e.g., hot-stoppage of four of the eight coke-oven batteries in Avils).

Pursuing and rapidly capturing permanent productivity improvements.

Integrated Environmental Authorisation On May 2, 2008, the Environmental Management Service of the Regional Ministry of the Environment

and Rural Development, notified its Decision granting ArcelorMittal Asturias the Integrated Environmental Authorisation, Dossier no. AAI-022/05. This Decision was published in the Official Gazette of the Principality of Asturias (B.O.P.A.) on June 17, 2008.

Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) In its Asturian facilities, ArcelorMittal has implemented four ISO14000-compliant

Environmental Management Systems, with their corresponding Monitoring Committees.

CO2 Compliance with the Kyoto Commitment Throughout the period, CO2 emissions have been below the levels of the CO2 emission allowances

granted under the National Allocation Plan

Environment

Recycling and waste-to-value solutions The efficiency rate attained in waste reutilisation is currently > 90% Waste treatments are selected according to the following order of preference:

Direct internal recycling Internal waste-to-value processing Internal recycling with prior external waste-to-value treatment External recycling, with or without intermediate waste-to-value treatment

Ongoing research aimed at developing new recycling and waste-to-value solutions

38

Environment

A significant effort in terms of investment has been made over the last years in all the facilities and focussed on all environmental vectors (air, water, waste, soil, etc.)

Environmental investments over the 2005-2007 period amounted to 90 M

Gesma: environmental monitoring software tool

ArcelorMittals Continuous Improvement approach, coupled with the growing concern of all stakeholders regarding the preservation of the environment, led to the development of the GESMA Project.

The Environmental Management software GESMA, currently being developed, is primarily aimed at:

Ensuring permanent awareness of the environmental conditions of the facilities

Improving statistical treatment of the information received/generated

Providing warning mechanisms relating to the environmental conditions based on continuously monitored parameters (sms or email warnings)

Automatic generation of reports meeting the monitoring requirements defined by the Public Authorities.

Follow-up of the most significant environmental management KPIs for subsequent analysis by ArcelorMittal Asturias EMS Committees

Improved operational control of the environmental variables of existing water treatment plants and future connections to the Industrial Main Sewer

GESMA is a dynamic software tool, i.e. it not only provides the means to efficiently manage the environmental data but can also be continuously enhanced and expanded in line with the evolution ofinvestments, new requirements or new needs identified (CO2, dispersion models, etc...)

Investments in 2008 & B2009

CAPEX : 94 M Main items of environmental and maintenance capex :

Environmental investments in Avils Coke Plant: 11 M. New row of staves in Gijn Blast Furnaces: 2 M. Heavy Plate Mill revamping: 2 M. Legal requirements: 5 M. Avils Coke Plant: 15 M. Heavy Plate Mill revamping: 5 M. Rail Mill: 5 M. Gas holders: 3 M. Rolls: 9 M.

Budget 2009:

Zero increase in environmental projects as compared to 2008 (legal requirements, environmental issues, upgrading of Gijn Coke Plant) and maintenance capex of 35 M (long+flat+rolls).

43

Conclusion

ArcelorMittal Asturias: Integrated, multi-product site (flat and long products) with maximum capacity of 5 Mt of liquid steel peryear.

To react to the current crisis, ArcelorMittal Asturias is adjusting its production to market demand, maintaining its fixed costs andwith zero increase in environmental capex, while adjusting internal and external personnel to production requirements.

ArcelorMittal Asturias strength is based on the variety of products that are manufactured in its facilities, as some of these products are not being affected by a shrinking demand (rail, tinplate and heavy plate).
