This announcement does not contain the full terms and conditions of the Offers, which are contained in the offer to purchase dated June 14, 2016 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to Purchase"), and is subject to the offer restrictions set out below and more fully described in the Offer to Purchase.

Notes may be validly tendered at any time on or before 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 12, 2016, unless extended or earlier terminated (as may be extended or earlier terminated, the "Expiration Time"). Notes must be tendered in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Offer to Purchase. To receive the Total Consideration (as defined herein), plus any Accrued Interest, Holders must tender their Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 27, 2016, unless extended (such time, as the same may be extended, the "Early Tender Time"). The Total Consideration includes an early tender premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the "Early Tender Premium"). Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the Expiration Time will only be eligible to receive the "Tender Consideration", which is the applicable Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Premium, plus any Accrued Interest.

The "Maximum Tender Amount" is $600 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The Company expressly reserves the right in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law, to increase the Maximum Tender Amount after the determination of the Clearing Premium (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) at the Early Tender Time without extending the Withdrawal Deadline (as defined herein) or otherwise reinstating withdrawal rights.

The Offers are being conducted as a modified "Dutch Auction". If a Holder elects to participate in an Offer, such Holder may specify the minimum Total Consideration (the "Bid Price") within the price range applicable to the relevant Series that such Holder would be willing to receive in payment for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes from such Series that the Holder tenders in the Offer. The terms and conditions applicable to Holders' Bid Prices and the bidding procedure are described in the section "The Offers-Description of the Offers-Bidding Procedure" in the Offer to Purchase.

At the Early Tender Time, the Company will determine a single Clearing Premium based on the Bid Premiums (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) for all Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time in accordance with the modified "Dutch Auction" procedure described in the section "The Offers-Description of the Offers-Clearing Premium and Total Consideration" in the Offer to Purchase. The "Total Consideration" for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time and not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers will be equal to the sum of: (i) the Minimum Bid Price for the relevant Series and (ii) the Clearing Premium determined in accordance with this modified "Dutch Auction" procedure.

Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time will be accepted for purchase in priority to Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time, and to the extent that Notes are tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time the Maximum Tender Amount available after the Early Tender Time could be reduced significantly or altogether. Notes tendered may be subject to proration in the event that the Offers are oversubscribed at the Early Tender Time or the Expiration Time, as applicable, as described in the section "The Offers- Description of the Offers-Priority of Acceptance and Proration" in the Offer to Purchase.

The Total Consideration and Tender Consideration, as applicable, with respect to the Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers will be payable in cash. In addition to the Total Consideration or Tender Consideration, as applicable, Holders who tender Notes that are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers will also be paid accrued and unpaid interest from, and including, the immediately preceding interest payment date applicable to such Notes to, but excluding, the applicable Settlement Date (the "Accrued Interest").

With respect to the Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time and not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers, the Company expects to pay the Total Consideration, together with any Accrued Interest, to the Holders on the second Business Day after the Early Tender Time (such date, the "Early Settlement Date"). With respect to Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the Expiration Time and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers, the Company expects to pay the Tender Consideration, together with any Accrued Interest, to the Holders thereof on the second Business Day after the Expiration Time (such date the "Final Settlement Date"; each of the Early Settlement Date and the Final Settlement Date, a "Settlement Date").

Notes tendered may only be withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 27, 2016 (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the "Withdrawal Deadline") but, except as otherwise provided, not thereafter.

ArcelorMittal will fund the Offers with existing cash resources.  The Offers are being made to reduce gross debt through the early repayment of medium-term maturing bonds.
