INTRODUCTION
     This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 6, 2007, (as amended from time to time, the “Schedule TO”), and relates to the offer by Celanese Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Celanese” or the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiary Celanese International Holdings Luxembourg S.à r.l. (“CIH”), to purchase up to 11,279,243 shares, or such lesser number as are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, of its common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price not greater than $30.50 nor less than $28.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest. The Company’s offer was made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated March 6, 2007 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal (which together, as amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Offer”). A copy of the Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal were previously filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii), respectively, to the Schedule TO.
     The information contained in the Offer is expressly incorporated herein by reference into this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule TO, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.

     (2) On April 6, 2007, the Company issued a press release announcing the final results of the Offer, which expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, April 3, 2007. A copy of that press release is attached to this Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(5)(iv) and is incorporated herein by this reference.
     (3) The paragraph beginning with the heading “Incorporation by Reference,” including the table referenced therein, under Section 10, “Certain Information Concerning Us,” on page 23 of the Offer to Purchase is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
