This Registration Statement covers common shares (“Shares”) of ArcelorMittal (the “Registrant”): (i) distributed pursuant to the exercise of purchase rights to be granted under the 2010 ArcelorMittal Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “2010 ESPP”) and (ii) pursuant to Rule 416 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), any additional Shares, which become distributable under the 2010 ESPP by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the Registrant’s receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of the outstanding Shares of the Registrant.

(2)	Calculated pursuant to Rule 457(c) and 457(h) based on a price of $33.70 per share, which is the average of the high and low prices reported on the New York Stock Exchange on October 19, 2010, solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee.

Item 4. Description Of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests Of Named Experts And Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification Of Directors And Officers.

The articles of association of ArcelorMittal provide that ArcelorMittal will, to the broadest extent permitted by Luxembourg law, indemnify every director or member of the Group Management Board, as well as every former director or member of the Group Management Board, for the fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in the defense or resolution (including a settlement) of all legal actions or proceedings, whether civil, criminal or administrative, to which he or she may be made a party by virtue of his or her role as former or current director or member of the Group Management Board of ArcelorMittal.

The right to indemnification does not exist in the case of gross negligence, fraud, fraudulent inducement, dishonesty or for a criminal offense or if it is ultimately determined that the director or member of the Group Management Board has not acted honestly, in good faith and with the reasonable belief that he or she was acting in the best interests of ArcelorMittal.

Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits

Item 9. Undertakings

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(i) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

A. To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) (3) of the Securities Act;

B. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.

C. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (A) and (B) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

(ii) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(iii) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13 (a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
