10 Industrial Bleach Initiative • Why Industrial Bleach? – Bleach utilizes both chlorine and caustic soda in an ECU ratio – Demand is seasonal, but not cyclical – Bleach commands a premium price over an ECU • Why Olin? – Regional nature of the bleach business benefits Olin’s geographic profile – Olin’s proprietary railcar technology extends geographic reach – KA Steel’s Midwest bleach manufacturing & distribution completes coverage • Olin Actions – Olin is the leading North American bleach producer – 3 new HyPure® bleach investments have added 50% more bleach capacity to the Olin system, extending product shelf life and lowering freight costs – Q2 2013 bleach shipments were 5% higher than Q2 2012 marking the 22nd consecutive quarter of year-over-year increases in bleach shipments


 
11 26.4% CAGR Bleach Growth is a Key Objective • Olin bleach volumes have delivered steady growth since 2006 • Key bleach target segments include water treatment, consumer products, food, farming and pool chemicals • Our capacity to convert ECUs into higher margin bleach now exceeds 17% • Olin HyPure® bleach and proprietary rail car design provides: • Increased product stability and extended shelf life • A potential new category of consumer products • Reduced transportation costs • Expanded bleach shipping radius • An enhancement to our geographic advantage over competitors Olin’s Bleach Accomplishments


 
12 Hydrochloric Acid • Olin is the leading producer of Burner-grade HCl in North America with 5 manufacturing facilities in the United States and Canada • Currently 25% of HCl supply is “Burner-grade” or “on-purpose” HCl • By-product HCl accounts for 75% of the market supply, but availability is subject to urethane and fluorocarbon demand • Burner grade HCl is a reliable source, and while a small cost component in oil and gas exploration, is critical to the process • HCl is used in processing steel, artificial sweeteners, pharmaceuticals, food, ores and minerals; and in water, wastewater and brine treatments • Olin now has the ability to convert 13% of its chlorine capacity into higher margin HCl sales following the installation of a new HCl burner at the Henderson, NV plant


 
13 Growing HCl Demand North American HCl Supply • Burner acid is the only growing HCl supply source • 75% of HCl is supplied through by-product producers • By-product HCl availability is less reliable than burner HCl • Olin is ideally positioned to serve the West & North through expanded distribution capabilities North American HCl Demand • Demand for oil and gas exploration has increased • U.S. steel industry demand has been recovering • Diverse demand segments follow GDP growth 15.7% CAGR


 
14 Key Chlor-Alkali Factors • Q2 2013 ECU netback of $575 is $10 higher than Q1 2013 netback; sequentially we expect a higher ECU netback in Q3 2013 as pricing indices reflect a $30 higher caustic soda price from the prior quarter • In late August, Olin and other major producers announced a $30 caustic soda price increase effective immediately or as contract terms permit • We expect higher margin bleach sales to continue their 5 year growth trend through 2013 • The additional capacity at our Henderson, NV plant will increase our ability to manufacture higher margin HCl • Our investments in membrane cell technology have lowered operating costs and positioned us as the largest producer of premium priced membrane caustic soda in North America


 
15 • KA Steel is one of the largest distributors of caustic soda in North America and manufactures and sells bleach in the Midwest • On August 22, 2012, we acquired privately held KA Steel for $312 million in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments • 2011 KA Steel sales were $435 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $31 million; Q2 2013 sales were $113 million and EBITDA was $6 million • The combination of Olin and KA Steel is expected to generate $7 to $10 million of synergies in 2013, growing to approximately $35 million annually by the end of the third year of ownership • The Section 338(h)(10) tax election provides a $60 million NPV tax benefit to Olin; when considering this and the expected synergies, results in an EBITDA multiple of approximately 4 times • The transaction was financed through the sale of $200 million of 5.5%, 10- year notes and cash on hand KA Steel Acquisition


 
16 Complimentary Asset Footprints • KA Steel caustic distribution infrastructure is a strong fit with Olin’s chlor alkali assets: • Mature supply relationships • 90,000 tons of storage capacity • Expanded geographic coverage • Logistical savings • Provides scale and flexibility • Access to new customers, regions and industry segments • Combined network is capable of supporting higher caustic volumes • KA Steel adds approximately 50,000 tons of bleach capacity • Following the Q2 2013 start-up of the Henderson, NV HyPure® plant, Olin now has over 350,000 tons of value added bleach capacity 13 23 9 6 Only 3 locations out of 51 overlap


 
17 KA Steel Synergies Update • Platform to expand Olin sales of industrial bleach, HCl and KOH • Optimizes use of KA Steel’s existing freight and logistics network to reduce Olin’s shipping expense • Provides platform to reduce freight and logistics costs • Expands presence in core caustic soda business with a combined capacity to ship 3 million tons of caustic soda • Increases stability of core Chlor-Alkali business • Significant synergy potential of $7 to $10 million during full year 2013 and $35 million annually after the third year of ownership • Expected to be immediately accretive to both earnings and cash flow, excluding one-time transaction costs


 
18 Winchester Winchester Strategy • Cost Reduction – Centerfire relocation – Once completed, we expect at least $30 million lower operating costs – At least $15 million of cost savings expected to be realized in 2013 • New Product Development – Continue to develop new product offerings – Maintain reputation as a new product innovator • Provide returns in excess of cost of capital Hunters & Recreational Shooters Products Retail Distributors Mass Merchants Law Enforcement Military Industrial Rifle      N/A Handgun      N/A Rimfire       Shotshell       Components       Brands

21 Centerfire Relocation • The decision to relocate Winchester’s centerfire operations, including 1,000 jobs, was made on November 3, 2010 • The new 500,000 square foot facility was opened in October 2011 and the project is on schedule and on budget to be completed in 2016 • Q2 2013 cost savings were approximately $4 million compared to a $2 million cost increase in Q2 2012, and the year-over-year profit improvement for the first half of 2013 versus the first 6 months of 2012 is approximately $14 million • Cost savings are expected to be at least $15 million in 2013, against net incremental cost of $5 million in 2012, and total at least $30 million in lower costs by 2016


 
22 Strong Balance Sheet • $44 million of cash generated in Q2 2013 after funding the common dividend and repurchasing outstanding shares • The 6/30/13 cash balance of $148 million reflects: • $66 million increase in working capital during 2013; • $55 million of CAPEX in 2013, some for the Henderson, NV projects; • $11 million payment of maturing long-term debt in January; and • $49 million distributed to shareholders in common stock dividends and common share repurchases through the first half of 2013 • No material debt maturities until 2016, and total debt due between now and 6/1/16 is less than $40 million • The Olin defined benefit pension plans remain fully funded with no contributions expected for several years • 2013 CAPEX is forecast to be in the $100 to $120 million range • 2013 Depreciation and Amortization expense expected to be in the $135 to $140 million range


 
23 • 2013 EBITDA is expected to be in the $425 to $460 million range, or $50 to $85 million higher than record 2012 EBITDA • EBITDA growth in 2013 is driven by the successful completion of several strategic initiatives in 2012, the on-going bleach and HCl growth initiatives, KA Steel synergies, strong Winchester results and cost savings associated with the centerfire relocation to Oxford, MS • Continued growth in bleach sales, driven by the 3 new HyPure® bleach plants, provides Olin the ability to convert over 17% of our ECUs into higher margin bleach • The recently completed HCl capacity expansion at Henderson, NV now allows Olin to convert 13% of chlorine into higher margin HCl • 2013 will include a full year of KA Steel earnings and the expected realization of $7 to $10 million of synergy contributions • Winchester is experiencing record earnings during this latest surge coupled with significant cost savings from the centerfire relocation Profit Outlook
