Summary of CELANESE CORP - Yahoo! Finance

Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 20, 2008, Celanese Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that its full year 2008 results are expected to be below its previous outlook. The Company noted that continued weakening of the global economy, significant inventory destocking throughout its end-consumers' supply chains, and the previously announced unplanned outage and related force majeure at its AT Plastics facility are impacting its fourth quarter results. Due to these factors, and increased uncertainty in global demand, the Company has chosen not to provide an updated full year outlook for 2008. The Company's previous guidance issued on October 21, 2008, should no longer be relied upon.
A complete copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
