In order to meet the needs of our carbon black customers, Cabot Corporation continuously explores new opportunities for expansion, particularly in the developing regions of the world.

Cabot has not made any expansion commitments in Romania or decisions regarding significant capacity expansions except as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006.
