Item 4. Ownership.

After GBL and Pargesa's disposition of the shares of the issuer, GBL's stake in the issuer decreased to approximately 4.9%. This percentage amount is calculated based on the number of shares of Rhodia capital stock outstanding on December 31, 2002, as reported in Rhodia's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2002.
