Base Dividend Increased by 20 cents to US$1.50
With full year EBITDA expected at $19.2-$19.4 billion, the Board of Directors has recommended to increase the Company’s base dividend by 20 cents from US$1.30 to US$1.50. Of this 20 cents, 10 cents will reflect the underlying growth of the Company and 10 cents the sustainable improvement of the Company’s profitability resulting from the merger.
As a consequence, the Board of Directors will submit to a shareholders vote, at the next annual general meeting, the proposal to increase the quarterly dividend payment from $0.325 to $0.375. The dividend payments will occur on a quarterly basis for the full year 2008. Consequently, the new quarterly dividend payments would take place on March 17, 2008, June 16, 2008, September 15, 2008 and December 15, 2008, taking into account that the first quarter dividend payment to be paid on March 17, 2008 shall be an interim dividend.
Final payment of current year dividend of $0.325 per share will be payable on December 17, 2007.
ArcelorMittal distribution policy is based on its commitment of returning 30% of net income to shareholders every year through an annual base dividend, supplemented by additional share buy-backs. The base dividend has been designed to ensure a stable annual return and to increase in order to reflect the underlying growth of the Company.

ArcelorMittal inaugurates Arceo, an innovative vacuum plasma coating line
Luxembourg/Liège, 24 January 2008 – Today, world steel leader ArcelorMittal inaugurates Arceo, its industrial prototype for a vacuum plasma steel coating line located in Liège, Belgium. This breakthrough technology, developed as a world first by the Group’s Research and Development in partnership with the Walloon Region, will open up a host of new uses for flat steel products. With this process steel can be a sensor, a reflector, a source of light, an anti-bacterial or self-cleaning surface, or just simply more aesthetic or endowned with better anti-corrosive properties. This process is one of ArcelorMittal’s promising development projects and will contribute to renewing and expanding its product range.
The vacuum plasma process is respectful of the environment. It does not use solvents or chemical preparations; neither does it generate effluents or gases that require treatment. Furthermore, it enables the production of environmentally friendly products that allow for sustainable development.
After successfully developing the first investment phase, Christophe Cornier, EVP Flat Carbon Western Europe, announced the launch of a second phase specifically devoted to increasing the anti-corrosive properties of steel.
Christophe Cornier commented: “ArcelorMittal can be proud of its faith in this project. Developments so far have proved that the process is robust and respectful of the environment. Several tests are currently being carried out for clients interested in the process. With Arceo, ArcelorMittal will transform the future of steel, opening up new horizons for it.”
Greg Ludkovsky, VP Research and Development, added : “We are very happy to see that this project initiated within our reseach centers is becoming an industrial success.”

ArcelorMittal announces second season of its Web TV "Inside
Transforming Tomorrow"
Luxembourg, 30 January 2008 - ArcelorMittal today announces the launch of "Inside Transforming Tomorrow", the second season of its successful Web TV at www.arcelormittal.tv.
The new season will monitor the performance and progress of the company post merger, as it seeks to deliver on its brand promise of 'transforming tomorrow'. It will also focus on the challenges it faces as not only the biggest steel company in the world, but one of the 50 biggest companies globally, doing business in over 60 countries.
In-line with the approach of the Web TV's first season, the new season has been constructed around the same transparency that characterized the first season, giving stakeholders an opportunity to speak frankly and honestly about their experiences working for or doing business with the company.
Web TV season I's main objective was to provide an effective communications channel to the 320,000 ArcelorMittal employees around the world during the delicate integration phase following the 2006 merger of Arcelor and Mittal Steel. It proved one of the most successful communications exercise undertaken by the company, both internally and externally spanning 15 episodes, 544,431 unique visitors, 882,054 pages views and near 250,000 views of the video episodes.
"The Web TV was envisaged as a one off tool for the integration process," said Nicola Davidson, VP of Corporate Communications. "However we had such good feedback -particularly internally - that we recognised its value as an open and transparent way to enable employees to share their views about the company and share in the global challenges and success of the business they work for. We have effected a successful merger but that doesn't mean there are not new challenges ahead. Last year we launched our new brand 'transforming tomorrow' with the values of "Sustainability, Quality and Leadership". We regard these values as core to our continued success as a business and the Web TV is an important tool in enabling us to track how we are performing against this promise."
Aditya Mittal, CFO and Member of the Group Management Board and also Responsible for Communication, said: "Season II takes a personal, more human approach where the viewer is invited to share moments of the lives of the men and women that are the very essence of ArcelorMittal. Around the globe the viewer will experience the challenges and aspirations that form our daily life, and be a part of the communities that build this thriving company. I hope that the result helps our stakeholders better appreciate the enormous scale and scope this company has and the numerous ways we are working towards having a positive impact in the world around us that helps transform tomorrow."
The first episode features the company's Liberia project. Having acquired the mining rights to a major iron-ore deposit in 2006, the Liberia project is an important part of the Group's stated ambition to increase its iron-ore self-sufficiency to 75%. The episode tracks the challenges the company faces in a country which has been subject to many years of civil unrest and the progress it is making. It must not only focus on developing the mines but also on developing the appropriate infrastructure that will enable the sustainable development of the project and community. This includes investment in areas such as education and healthcare.
"We are delighted that the Liberian iron ore project was chosen to launch the new season of the Web TV" said Joe Mathews, CEO of ArcelorMittal's Mining Project in Liberia. "Liberia offers an excellent opportunity for ArcelorMittal to transform tomorrow - for the country as well as the operation here. We hope this exposure will further enable the transfer of skills, training and ideas from our sister facilities to build this venture from the ground up."
"I have been coming to Liberia for some years now and I can see the positive changes that are beginning to take place. Nevertheless the country faces huge challenges. Unemployment for example stands at 80%. The country definitely needs investors such as ArcelorMittal to help kick-start its economy and provide jobs."
ArcelorMittal has worked with Communication agency Vanksen | Culture-Buzz and the Production House Connected Pictures in producing this season. In parallel to the episodes, the site has been developed as a rich community-oriented space where, like in season I, visitors are encouraged to get involved with the content, react to the stories, and actively be a part of the endeavour.
Luxembourg, 30 January 2008 - ArcelorMittal today announces the launch of "Inside Transforming Tomorrow", the second season of its successful Web TV at www.arcelormittal.tv.
The new season will monitor the performance and progress of the company post merger, as it seeks to deliver on its brand promise of 'transforming tomorrow'. It will also focus on the challenges it faces as not only the biggest steel company in the world, but one of the 50 biggest companies globally, doing business in over 60 countries.
In-line with the approach of the Web TV's first season, the new season has been constructed around the same transparency that characterized the first season, giving stakeholders an opportunity to speak frankly and honestly about their experiences working for or doing business with the company.
Web TV season I's main objective was to provide an effective communications channel to the 320,000 ArcelorMittal employees around the world during the delicate integration phase following the 2006 merger of Arcelor and Mittal Steel. It proved one of the most successful communications exercise undertaken by the company, both internally and externally spanning 15 episodes, 544,431 unique visitors, 882,054 pages views and near 250,000 views of the video episodes.
"The Web TV was envisaged as a one off tool for the integration process," said Nicola Davidson, VP of Corporate Communications. "However we had such good feedback -particularly internally - that we recognised its value as an open and transparent way to enable employees to share their views about the company and share in the global challenges and success of the business they work for. We have effected a successful merger but that doesn't mean there are not new challenges ahead. Last year we launched our new brand 'transforming tomorrow' with the values of "Sustainability, Quality and Leadership". We regard these values as core to our continued success as a business and the Web TV is an important tool in enabling us to track how we are performing against this promise."
Aditya Mittal, CFO and Member of the Group Management Board and also Responsible for Communication, said: "Season II takes a personal, more human approach where the viewer is invited to share moments of the lives of the men and women that are the very essence of ArcelorMittal. Around the globe the viewer will experience the challenges and aspirations that form our daily life, and be a part of the communities that build this thriving company. I hope that the result helps our stakeholders better appreciate the enormous scale and scope this company has and the numerous ways we are working towards having a positive impact in the world around us that helps transform tomorrow."
The first episode features the company's Liberia project. Having acquired the mining rights to a major iron-ore deposit in 2006, the Liberia project is an important part of the Group's stated ambition to increase its iron-ore self-sufficiency to 75%. The episode tracks the challenges the company faces in a country which has been subject to many years of civil unrest and the progress it is making. It must not only focus on developing the mines but also on developing the appropriate infrastructure that will enable the sustainable development of the project and community. This includes investment in areas such as education and healthcare.
"We are delighted that the Liberian iron ore project was chosen to launch the new season of the Web TV" said Joe Mathews, CEO of ArcelorMittal's Mining Project in Liberia. "Liberia offers an excellent opportunity for ArcelorMittal to transform tomorrow - for the country as well as the operation here. We hope this exposure will further enable the transfer of skills, training and ideas from our sister facilities to build this venture from the ground up."
"I have been coming to Liberia for some years now and I can see the positive changes that are beginning to take place. Nevertheless the country faces huge challenges. Unemployment for example stands at 80%. The country definitely needs investors such as ArcelorMittal to help kick-start its economy and provide jobs."
