ArcelorMittal informs shareholders of the following:                            
-    Due to the ongoing Transnet industrial action, very limited raw material   
    deliveries including iron ore and coal are being received at                
ArcelorMittal`s facilities and the Company has informed its customers that  
    it has invoked Force Majeure provisions provided for in the general         
    conditions of sale; and                                                     
-    On 15 May 2010, a raw material bunker failed at ArcelorMittal`s Saldanha   
Works. The Company is currently considering measures to minimize the impact 
    of this incident.                                                           
The full impact of the above events is still being assessed.
