of worldwide automotive.

Full copies  of the  presentations  can be  found  on the  Company's  website, 
www.arcelormittal.com.

In his presentation, Mr Mittal,  Chairman and Chief Executive, will  introduce 
the concept of  what ArcelorMittal  refers to as  its "franchise"  businesses; 
businesses in attractive  markets where  the Company has  a competitive  edge. 
 Automotive, sheet piles,  mechanical tubing,  wide and  heavy hot-rolled  for 
high-strength applications  are all  examples  of franchise  businesses.   The 
Company is committed to invest to grow and expand these businesses.  

Automotive is  a key  franchise  business.  ArcelorMittal  is the  number  one 
supplier to all the major automotive  manufacturers and will continue to  make 
the necessary  investments in  intellectual capital,  plant and  equipment  in 
order to maintain this.  The global automotive market  is forecast to grow  by 
24% from about  80 million  units in  2012 to  over 100  million in  2017.^[3] 
 ArcelorMittal  is  well  positioned  to  serve  the  automotive  market  with 
production facilities in  the NAFTA  region, EU27, Turkey  and South  America. 
 Additionally the Company's commercial  organisation covers all regions  where 
its global customers have a presence.  

ArcelorMittal is the leader in high strength steels, which are vital to ensure
steel can maintain its position as the material of choice for the auto sector.
 Brian Aranha, Vice President  of worldwide automotive,  will explain how  the 
Company is consistently  expanding its  Advanced High  Strength Steels  (AHSS) 
offering.  The S-in-motion program has developed a catalogue of solutions  for 
achieving up to 20%  of weight reduction with  existing products, designed  to 
satisfy the needs of vehicles produced up to 2020.  The R&D program is already
working to develop the next generation  of AHSS which will be required  beyond 
2020, for example simulating steel solutions that will be required to meet the
fuel economy targets of 54mpg in the USA and 95g/km co2 in Europe.  

Peter Kukielski  will  provide an  update  on  the mining  segment  -  another 
important franchise business. The Company  has been steadily growing  iron-ore 
shipments since 2008 with  an emphasis on  growing marketable tonnes.    There 
are two significant steps remaining to reach its production capacity target of
84Mt by 2015 - expansion of ArcelorMittal Mines Canada and Liberia Phase 2.

The expansion at ArcelorMittal Mines Canada to a production capacity of 24MTPA
is expected to be completed in the  first half of 2013.  This required a  $1.4 
billion capex investment.  The existing  infrastructure has  the potential  to 
support further  expansion  to 30  to  32Mtpa without  significant  additional 
capex.  This is currently under study.  

Phase 2 in  Liberia has now  been approved  by the Board  of Directors.   This 
expansion will result in production capacity reaching 15MT pa in 2015 and will
require approximately $1.5  billion of  capex.  The  result will  be a  higher 
quality concentrate (66% Fe) compared to the current DSO (60% Fe).  Major site
works have already begun at the  port in Buchanan, including the  installation 
of a high speed ship loader.

 In addition, the Company  will provide an update  on its Baffinland  project. 
 The Early Revenue Phase, which requires less capital investment than the full
project, is now underway  with a goal  to reach a  3.5MT per annum  production 
rate by 2015.    The budget for  the ERP is  approximately US$700 million  and 
will require the upgrading of the road  that connects to the existing port  in 
Milne Inlet to the  mine site as well  modifications to existing permits  that 
are expected to be granted in 2013 and in the first half of 2014.   Baffinland 
is a high grade, 66% Fe direct shipping pellet and fine ore which requires  no 
processing or pelletization.  

Commenting, Lakshmi Mittal, Chairman and CEO, said:

 "Going forward we  will protect  and leverage our  'franchise' businesses  as 
well as maintain a constant and rigorous focus on our costs and achievement of
best internal practice. These focal  points, combined with our leading  market 
position in developed and  emerging markets, our diverse  mix of products,  as 
well as our world class  customer service will enable  us to be successful  in 
this new operating environment."
