SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information about ArcelorMittal and the notes being offered. It may not contain all of the information that
may be important to you. Before investing in the notes, you should read this entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the
documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus carefully for a more complete understanding of
ArcelorMittal's business and this offering.
ArcelorMittal
ArcelorMittal is the world's largest and most global steel producer and a significant producer of iron ore and coal, with production of
92.5 million tonnes of crude steel and, from own mines, 58.5 million tonnes of iron ore and 5.9 million tonnes of coal in 2018, as compared to
production of 93.1 million tonnes of crude steel and, from own mines, 57.4 million tonnes of iron ore and 6.3 million tonnes of coal in 2017.
ArcelorMittal had sales of $76.0 billion and steel shipments of 83.9 million tonnes for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to sales of
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1243429/000119312519068885/d718328d424b5.htm[3/8/2019 2:36:59 PM]


424B5
$68.7 billion and steel shipments of 85.2 million tonnes for the year ended December 31, 2017. ArcelorMittal is the largest steel producer in North
and South America, Europe and Africa, a significant steel producer in the CIS and has a smaller but growing presence in Asia.
ArcelorMittal recorded net income attributable to equity holders of the parent of $5.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared
to net income attributable to equity holders of the parent of $4.6 billion for the year ended December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2018,
ArcelorMittal had equity attributable to the equity holders of the parent of $42.1 billion, total debt, which includes long-term debt, short-term debt
and debt classified as held for sale, of $12.6 billion, and cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, of $2.4 billion, compared to equity
attributable to the equity holders of the parent of $38.8 billion, total debt, which includes long-term debt and short-term debt, of $12.9 billion, and
cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, of $2.8 billion as of December 31, 2017.
ArcelorMittal's success is built on its core values of sustainability, quality and leadership and the entrepreneurial boldness that has empowered
its emergence as the first truly global steel and mining company. Acknowledging that a combination of structural issues and macroeconomic
conditions will continue to challenge returns in its sector, the Company has adapted its footprint to the new demand realities, redoubled its efforts to
control costs and repositioned its operations with a view toward outperforming its competitors. ArcelorMittal's research and development capability is
strong and includes several major research centers as well as strong academic partnerships with universities and other scientific bodies.
Against this backdrop, ArcelorMittal's strategy is to leverage four distinctive attributes that will enable it to capture leading positions in the
most attractive areas of the steel industry's value chain, from mining at one end to distribution and first-stage processing at the other: global scale and
scope; superior technical capabilities; a diverse portfolio of steel and related businesses, one of which is mining; and financial capabilities.
Geography: ArcelorMittal is the largest steel producer in the Americas, Africa and Europe and is the fifth largest steel producer in the
Commonwealth of Independent States ("CIS") region. ArcelorMittal has steel-making operations in 19 countries on four continents, including 48
integrated and mini-mill steel-making facilities. As of December 31, 2018, ArcelorMittal had approximately 209,000 employees.
ArcelorMittal's steel-making operations have a high degree of geographic diversification. Approximately 38% of its crude steel is produced in
the Americas, approximately 48% is produced in Europe and approximately 14% is produced in other countries, such as Kazakhstan, South Africa and
Ukraine. In addition, ArcelorMittal's sales of steel products are spread over both developed and developing markets, which have different
consumption characteristics. ArcelorMittal's mining operations, present in North and South America, Africa, Europe and the CIS region, are
integrated with its global steel-making facilities and are important producers of iron ore and coal in their own right.
Products: ArcelorMittal produces a broad range of high-quality finished and semi-finished steel products ("semis"). Specifically, ArcelorMittal
produces flat steel products, including sheet and plate, and long steel products, including bars, rods and structural shapes. In addition, ArcelorMittal
produces pipes and tubes for various applications. ArcelorMittal sells its steel products primarily in local markets and through its centralized

S-3
Table of Contents
marketing organization to a diverse range of customers in approximately 160 countries including the automotive, appliance, engineering, construction
and machinery industries. The Company also produces various types of mining products including iron ore lump, fines, concentrate and sinter feed, as
well as coking, pulverized coal injection ("PCI") and thermal coal.
As a global steel producer, the Company is able to meet the needs of different markets. Steel consumption and product requirements clearly
differ between developed markets and developing markets. Steel consumption in developed economies is weighted towards flat products and a higher
value-added mix, while developing markets utilize a higher proportion of long products and commodity grades. To meet these diverse needs, the
Company maintains a high degree of product diversification and seeks opportunities to increase the proportion of higher value-added products in its
product mix.
Automotive focus: ArcelorMittal has a leading market share in its core markets in the automotive steel business and is a leader in the fast-
growing advanced high strength steels segment. ArcelorMittal is the first steel company in the world to embed its own engineers within an automotive
customer to provide engineering support. The Company begins working with original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") as early as five years
before a vehicle reaches the showroom, to provide generic steel solutions, co-engineering and help with the industrialization of the project. In
November 2016, ArcelorMittal introduced a new generation of advanced high strength steels, including new press hardenable steels and martensitic
steels. Together, these new steel grades aim to help automakers further reduce body-in-white weight to improve fuel economy without compromising
vehicle safety or performance. In November 2017, ArcelorMittal launched the second generation of its iCARe® electrical steels. iCARe® steel grades
play a central role in the construction of electric motors.
Mining Value Chain: ArcelorMittal has a significant portfolio of raw material and mining assets. In 2018, approximately 49% of ArcelorMittal's
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1243429/000119312519068885/d718328d424b5.htm[3/8/2019 2:36:59 PM]


424B5
iron-ore requirements and approximately 12% of its PCI and coal requirements were supplied from its own mines. The Company currently has iron
ore mining activities in Brazil, Bosnia, Canada, Kazakhstan, Liberia, Mexico, Ukraine and the United States. The Company currently has coal mining
activities in Kazakhstan and the United States.
In addition, ArcelorMittal produces substantial amounts of direct reduced iron, or DRI, which is a scrap substitute used in its mini-mill facilities
to supplement external metallics purchases. ArcelorMittal is also a significant producer of coke, which is produced from metallurgical coal and is a
critical raw material for steel-making, satisfying 91% of its coke needs through its own production facilities. ArcelorMittal's facilities have good
access to shipping facilities, including through ArcelorMittal's own, or partially owned, 15 deep-water port facilities and linked railway sidings.
ArcelorMittal has its own downstream steel distribution business, primarily run through its Europe segment. It also provides value-added and
customized steel solutions through additional processing activities to meet specific customer requirements.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in the notes involves risk. You should consider carefully the risks described below, together with the risks described in the documents
incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, before you decide to buy our notes. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial
condition and results of operations could suffer, and the trading price and liquidity of the notes could decline, in which case you may lose all or part of
your investment. The risks described herein are not the only risks ArcelorMittal faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to
ArcelorMittal or that ArcelorMittal currently believes to be immaterial could also materially affect it.
Risks Relating to ArcelorMittal
You should read "Risk Factors" under "Item 3D--Key Information--Risk Factors" of the 2018 20-F, which is incorporated by reference in this
prospectus supplement, for information on risks relating to ArcelorMittal, including its industry, business and financial structure.
Risks Related to an Investment in the Notes.
In this section, unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms "we," "our", "the Company" and "ArcelorMittal" refer to ArcelorMittal alone.
Since ArcelorMittal conducts its operations through subsidiaries, your right to receive payments on the notes is effectively subordinated to the
other liabilities of ArcelorMittal's subsidiaries.
ArcelorMittal is a holding company which is dependent on the earnings and cash flows of, and dividends and distributions from, its operating
subsidiaries to meet its debt servicing obligations. In addition, ArcelorMittal's subsidiaries have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay amounts due
under the notes or to make any funds available to pay those amounts, whether by dividend, distribution, loan or other payments. Claims of the creditors of
ArcelorMittal's subsidiaries have priority as to the assets of such subsidiaries over the claims of ArcelorMittal's creditors. Consequently, holders of the
notes are in effect structurally subordinated, on insolvency, to the prior claims of the creditors of ArcelorMittal's subsidiaries. There is no limitation under
the notes on the ability of ArcelorMittal's subsidiaries to incur debt. As of December 31, 2018, ArcelorMittal's total debt, which includes long-term debt,
short-term debt and debt classified as held for sale, was $12.6 billion ($0.9 billion of which was consolidated subsidiary level debt). In addition,
ArcelorMittal USA, a subsidiary of ArcelorMittal, has entered into a five-year senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $1 billion, and it
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1243429/000119312519068885/d718328d424b5.htm[3/8/2019 2:36:59 PM]


424B5
was fully available as of December 31, 2018. This facility is secured by inventory and certain other working capital and related assets of ArcelorMittal
USA and certain of its subsidiaries in the United States. ArcelorMittal South Africa, a subsidiary of ArcelorMittal, has entered into a three-year revolving
borrowing base finance facility of up to ZAR4.5 billion. Any borrowings under this facility are secured by certain eligible inventory and receivables, as
well as certain other working capital and related assets of ArcelorMittal South Africa. As of December 31, 2018, ZAR0.3 billion ($21 million) was drawn.
Lenders under these facilities are accordingly senior to holders of the Notes. ArcelorMittal is also a borrower under and has guaranteed all amounts that
may be borrowed by the joint venture it has formed with NSSMC in view of the acquisition of ESIL under a $7 billion term facilities agreement.
ArcelorMittal had drawn $1.0 billion under such facility as of December 31, 2018. No assurance can be given that ArcelorMittal will not enter into further
secured financing arrangements in the future, either directly or through subsidiaries.
ArcelorMittal's ability to make debt service payments depends on its ability to transfer income and dividends from its subsidiaries.
ArcelorMittal is a holding company with no significant assets other than direct and indirect interests in the many subsidiaries through which it
conducts operations. A number of ArcelorMittal's subsidiaries are located in countries that may impose regulations restricting the transfer of dividends and
other income outside of the country through exchange control regulations.
Furthermore, the continued transfer to ArcelorMittal of dividends and other income from its subsidiaries are in some cases limited by various credit
or other contractual arrangements and/or tax constraints, which could make such payments difficult or costly. If in the future these restrictions are increased
or if ArcelorMittal is otherwise unable to ensure the continued transfer of dividends and other income to it from these subsidiaries, its ability to make debt
payments (including on the notes) will be impaired. The notes do not restrict ArcelorMittal or its subsidiaries from incurring additional debt or
guaranteeing additional debt in the future.

Since the notes are unsecured, your right to receive payments will be structurally subordinated to the secured indebtedness of ArcelorMittal.
The notes will be unsecured. There is no limitation under the notes on ArcelorMittal's ability to incur secured debt. As of December 31, 2018,
ArcelorMittal had approximately $522 million of consolidated secured indebtedness outstanding. If ArcelorMittal defaults on the notes, or after the
bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of ArcelorMittal, then, to the extent the obligor has granted security over its assets, the assets that secure debts
owed to that creditor will be used to satisfy the obligations under that secured debt before the obligor can make payment on the notes, as applicable. There
may only be limited assets available to make payments on the notes in the event of an acceleration of the notes. If there is not enough collateral to satisfy
the obligations of the secured debt, then the creditors of the remaining amount of secured debt would share equally with all unsubordinated unsecured
indebtedness (save for certain mandatory exceptions provided by Luxembourg law).
ArcelorMittal may incur additional indebtedness, which could increase the risks associated with its already substantial indebtedness.
As of December 31, 2018, ArcelorMittal had $5.5 billion available to be drawn under its existing unsecured revolving credit facility, ArcelorMittal
USA had $1.0 billion available to be drawn under its existing senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility and ArcelorMittal South Africa had a
ZAR4.5 billion borrowing base facility, under which ZAR0.3 billion ($21 million) had been drawn, all of which is or would be secured. ArcelorMittal is
also a borrower under and has guaranteed all amounts that may be borrowed by the joint venture it has formed with NSSMC in view of the acquisition of
ESIL under a $7 billion term facilities agreement. ArcelorMittal had drawn $1.0 billion under such facility as of December 31, 2018. Although the terms of
ArcelorMittal's principal credit facilities include a financial covenant that may limit ArcelorMittal's ability to draw down on the facility or to incur
additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions, and under certain circumstances the amount
of additional indebtedness that may be drawn down or incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. In addition, the terms of the notes
place no restrictions on ArcelorMittal's ability to incur additional debt. ArcelorMittal's subsidiaries may also be able to incur substantial additional
indebtedness in the future. If the Company incurs additional indebtedness, the related risks that the Company now faces could intensify.
ArcelorMittal is not restricted in its ability to dispose of assets by the terms of the notes.
The indenture governing the notes contains a negative pledge that, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits ArcelorMittal and its material subsidiaries
(as defined in the indenture) from pledging assets to secure other bonds or similar debt instruments, which are for the time being quoted or listed on any
stock exchange or other similar regulated securities market, unless ArcelorMittal makes a similar pledge to secure the notes issued under the indenture.
However, ArcelorMittal is generally permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of substantially all of its assets to another corporation or other entity under the
terms of the notes. ArcelorMittal is also permitted to pledge assets as security for other bonds or similar debt instruments in certain circumstances (i.e., in
the case of permitted security as defined in the indenture). If ArcelorMittal decides to dispose of a large amount of its assets, you will not be entitled to
declare an acceleration of the maturity of the notes, and those assets will no longer be available to support payments on the notes.
A downgrade in ArcelorMittal's credit rating or arbitrage trading could adversely affect the trading prices of the notes.
The trading prices for the notes are directly affected by ArcelorMittal's credit rating. Credit rating agencies continually revise their ratings for
companies that they follow, including ArcelorMittal. Any ratings downgrade could adversely affect the trading prices of the notes or the trading markets for
