As of December 31, 2020, our investment in Venator was $32 million and was included in other noncurrent assets on our consolidated balance sheets.

(2) We own 50% of BASF Huntsman Shanghai Isocyanate Investment BV. BASF Huntsman Shanghai Isocyanate Investment BV owns a 70% interest in SLIC, thus giving us an indirect 35% interest in SLIC.
