    Controversy surrounding the Lyondell acquisition

    The 2007 acquisition of Lyondell Chemical Company was criticized because it was reportedly pursued against the advice of Basell senior management and at a price considered substantially above market levels. The transaction was followed by the creation of LyondellBasell and later financial distress.
