INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

On February 3, 2011, Arch Chemicals, Inc. (the “Company”) released the results of operations and financial condition for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010. Attached as Exhibit 99, and incorporated herein by reference, is a copy of the Company’s earnings press release dated February 3, 2011.

Included in Exhibit 99 are references to the Company’s income and earnings per share from continuing operations which in some cases, as noted in such exhibit, exclude the effects of restructuring, impairment, the impact of the change in the U.K. tax rate related to the Company’s U.K. pension plans, and executive severance. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a comparison of results to the prior year, and therefore are useful to the investment community. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to what the Company believes is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is provided in such Exhibit.
