ITEM 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

As previously reported, on March 18, 2009 Chemtura Corporation ("Chemtura") and 26 U.S. affiliates filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court").  The cases were consolidated for the purpose of joint administration and were assigned case number 09-11233 (REG).  Chemtura’s non-U.S. subsidiaries and certain U.S. subsidiaries were not included in the Chapter 11 filing.

On May 15, 2009, Chemtura filed with the Bankruptcy Court, as required by the Bankruptcy Code, its initial Monthly Operating Report for the periods March 19 through March 31, 2009 and April 1, 2009 through April 30, 2009.  The required Monthly Operating Report is furnished hereunder as Exhibit 99.1.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Financial and Operating Data

Chemtura cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report, as they were not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of any of Chemtura or its subsidiaries, or any other affiliate of Chemtura.  The Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, is as prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation.  There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in Chemtura’s securities, the Monthly Operating Report is complete.  The Monthly Operating Report also contains information for periods which are shorter or otherwise different from those required in Chemtura’s reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and such information might not be indicative of Chemtura’s financial condition or operating results for the period that would be reflected in Chemtura’s financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act.  Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

Limitation on Incorporation by Reference

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8−K, the information in this Form 8−K furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
