Other Events.
On November 13, 2017, The Mosaic Company (the “Company”) closed its sale of $550,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.250% senior notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) and $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.050% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes” and, together with the 2022 Notes, the “Offered Securities”) pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement dated November 8, 2017, among the Company and BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule A thereto (the “Underwriting Agreement”). The Offered Securities were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of October 24, 2011 between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”).
The Company expects to receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $1.239 billion, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and its estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand, to fund the cash portion of the purchase price of its pending acquisition of Vale S.A.’s global phosphate and potash operations conducted through Vale Fertilizantes S.A., including the payment of related fees and expenses.
The Offered Securities sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement were registered under the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed on February 17, 2017 (File No. 333-216133).
The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement, the 2022 Notes and the 2027 Notes are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibits 1.1, 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
