INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

On August 4, 2010, Arch Chemicals, Inc. (the “Company”) released the results of operations and financial condition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. Attached as Exhibit 99, and incorporated herein by reference, is a copy of the Company’s earnings press release dated August 4, 2010.

Included in Exhibit 99 is a reference to the Company’s third quarter 2009 earnings per share from continuing operations which, as noted in such Exhibit, excludes the effects of executive severance. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides comparative information to the Company’s third quarter 2010 earnings guidance in Exhibit 99 and therefore is useful to the investment community. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to what the Company believes is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is provided in such Exhibit.
