Celanese Amends Revolving Credit Facility

DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
Celanese Corporation (NYSE:CE), a leading, global chemical company, today
announced that Celanese US Holdings LLC, its wholly-owned subsidiary, has
amended its $650 million revolving credit facility. The amendment increased the
first lien senior secured leverage ratio for a period of six quarters, beginning
June 30, 2009 and ending December 31, 2010. In connection with the amendment,
the company agreed to lower the total revolver commitment to $600 million.

"With Celanese`s strong cash position, we currently do not foresee a need to use
the facility, however, given the economic environment, we believe that this
amendment is prudent and enables us to preserve our existing sources of
additional liquidity," said Steven Sterin, senior vice president and chief
financial officer.
