On June 12, 2007, Mittal Steel Company N.V. (“ArcelorMittal”) announced its intention to start a share buy-back program for up to a maximum of 27 million class A common shares, immediately following the completion of its current US$590 million buy-back program. This new share buy-back program is aimed at offsetting the issuance of 27 million ArcelorMittal shares that will take place in connection with ArcelorMittal’s mandatory tender offer for Arcelor Brasil S.A. (“Arcelor Brasil”) on June 26, 2007. Further details on the new share buy-back program will be disclosed by ArcelorMittal in a press release that will be published before the program's commencement.

The share buy-back program does not constitute an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities, or an invitation by or on behalf of ArcelorMittal to purchase any such securities in circumstances or in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is unlawful.

The share buy-back program is not intended to constitute a tender offer by or on behalf of ArcelorMittal for its own class A common shares. ArcelorMittal has taken no steps to allow for a tender offer for its own class A common shares in any jurisdiction.

This document does not constitute an offer of securities in any jurisdiction. In particular, this document does not constitute an offer of securities for distribution or sale in the United States. Securities may not be offered, sold or distributed in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the U.S Securities Act of 1933. ArcelorMittal has not registered securities or conducted a public offering in the United States in connection with its offer to acquire Arcelor Brasil securities.
