PRESS RELEASE

RHODIA REACTS TO VOLUNTARY ADMINISTRATION

OF NYLSTAR

Paris, July 9, 2007 ----- The President of the Arras Commercial Court placed Nylstar France into voluntary administration* ("redressement judiciaire") on Friday July 6^th, 2007. This is a consequence of the cessation of payments by the Italian group Nylstar, following the failure of the banks, who took control of Nylstar a few months ago, to conclude successfully the refinancing.

Voluntary administration should enable the Arras production facility to remain operational. Whilst no longer being a shareholder of Nylstar, Rhodia remains a supplier and is determined to seek with the Judicial Administrator who has been appointed a solution by which deliveries can be maintained.

The Nylstar situation however requires that Rhodia increases its provision for doubtful debts by an exceptional charge for approximately €30m in its consolidated accounts for Q2. This exceptional charge will have neither a cash impact nor affect Rhodia's ability to meet its 2007 objectives.

Rhodia is a global specialty chemicals company recognized for its strong technology positions in Performance Materials, Functional Chemicals and the Organics and Services clusters. Partnering with major players in the automotive, electronics, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, consumer care, tires, and paints and coatings markets, Rhodia offers tailor-made solutions combining original molecules and technologies to respond to customers’ needs. Rhodia subscribes to the principles of Sustainable Development communicating its commitments and performance openly with stakeholders. Rhodia generated sales of €4.8 billion in 2006 and employs around 16,000 people worldwide. Rhodia is listed on the Paris and New York stock exchanges.
