“Before we begin discussing our first quarter 2016 results and our outlook for the year, I would like to first extend Mexichem’s deepest condolences and sympathies to all of the people affected by the recent accident at the joint venture PMV plant in Coatzacoalcos. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families and the community. We also want to express our deep gratitude and admiration to the first responders who took care of the injured and executed the evacuation plan, to the local, state and federal governmental authorities who protected and secured the infrastructure and the population and to the neighboring companies and community members who rushed to the site to assist us. Mexichem is humbled by this outpouring of support and the individual acts of bravery and kindness that we witnessed first-hand. We continue to support the victims of this tragedy and are working closely in tandem with our partners PEMEX, the authorities and a team of international experts to determine the cause of the accident.
