A strong fourth quarter marked the end of a tremendous year as we executed our plans to position Celanese for greater growth and profitability. We continued to focus our portfolio, expanded our global reach and improved our industry leadership position. We have identified a clear path to build on this success in 2006. |
We have made significant progress in reducing the uncertainty surrounding the minority shareholder interest in our German subsidiary. The squeeze-out will allow us to continue to simplify our operations, increase transparency and create value for our shareholders. |
