("CIG-II"), Citadel Holdings I LP ("CH-I"), Citadel Derivatives Group LLC ("CDG"), Citadel Holdings II LP ("CH-II"), Citadel Advisors LLC ("Citadel Advisors"), Citadel Derivatives Trading Ltd. ("CDT") and Kenneth Griffin ("Griffin" and, together with CIG, CLP, CEFL, CIG-II, CH-I, CDG, CH-II, Citadel Advisors and CDT, the "Reporting Persons") relating to the shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Shares"), of Huntsman Corporation (the "Issuer"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on September 2, 2008 ("Amendment No. 1"), Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on September 10, 2008 ("Amendment No. 2"), Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on October 28, 2008 ("Amendment No. 3"  and, together with the Original Filing, Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2, the "Prior Filing").  Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Prior Filing.
 
ITEM 4.
PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
 
Item 4 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
 
On December 14, 2008, the Issuer announced that it had terminated its proposed merger agreement with Hexion and executed a settlement agreement with Hexion, Apollo Management and certain related parties.  In light of the termination of the merger with Hexion, the Reporting Persons plan to sell Common Shares and unwind total return equity swaps on the Common Shares, although this plan may change as a result of a change in market conditions and other developments.
 
ITEM 5.
INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

1 According to the Issuer's Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 6, 2008, there were 234,430,785 Common Shares issued and outstanding as of November 3, 2008.
