Dear Valued Supplier:
On March 17, 2014, we anticipate the previously announced purchase of the CF Industries, Inc. (CFI) phosphate
operations by The Mosaic Company (Mosaic) will close. Operational leadership of the assets included in this transaction
will transition from CFI to Mosaic. We are confident this acquisition is a strategic step aimed at strengthening the
Florida phosphate industry’s position in the global marketplace.
We are enthusiastic about the growth we will experience within our market segments and the opportunities for you as a
key supplier. The integration will result in a convergence of our supply management efforts and our newly combined and
expanded supply base could create new opportunities for our strategic supply partners. Please keep in mind the following
changes:
Contracts: Unless previously or otherwise noted, existing contracts are generally not impacted as a result of the
acquisition. Mosaic intends to assume assignment of contracts, leases, and purchase orders used by the former CFI
phosphates locations in Central Florida.
Payment Obligations: For the purpose of recognizing the transition of payment obligations, please note that any
work performed or products provided prior to 6:30 AM EST on March 17, 2014 will still be payable from CF
Industries, Inc. Any physical deliveries of products and/or services performed after this date and time will be
payable from the appropriate Mosaic corporate entity (described below). Should you have any specific payables
questions, please contact Alice Johnson at Alice.Johnson@mosaicco.com.
Invoices and Purchase Orders: All purchase order and invoice processes will also continue to function as they have
with the former CFI sites. However, as of the closing date and time, a new Mosaic legal entity will apply depending
on the legacy CFI facility to which products will be delivered or services performed. Please use the following table to
identify the new legal entity required on all invoices and purchase orders on/after March 17, 2014:
Legacy CFI Facility Name
Facility Location
New Mosaic Name
New Mosaic Legal Entity

Plant City, FL

For New Mosaic Vendors: If you are a new vendor to Mosaic you will need to agree to Mosaic’s Terms and
Conditions, Ethics Policy, and other requirements to qualify as a Mosaic vendor. Contact Sandra Messer for
additional details at Sandra.Messer@mosaicco.com. Additionally, if you are a contractor that works on site at one of
Mosaic’s facilities, Mosaic requires your company to maintain an active ISNetworld subscription. Mosaic currently
uses ISNetworld as our primary contractor information management system. In order to qualify as a contractor for
Mosaic, your company’s subscription must remain in place and all required data must be posted by April 1, 2014.
Failure to comply with these requirements could potentially impact your company’s ability to work with Mosaic in
the future. For further details about ISNetworld, please contact the ISN Customer Service Team at (800) 976-1303
or visit their website at www.isnetworld.com .
For Existing Mosaic Vendors: If you currently supply both Mosaic and CFI, we expect to receive the best price
for your products and/or services for all Mosaic facilities after the close. We also plan to harmonize key contractual
terms, including terms of payment, warranty, liability or indemnification, length of contract, freight terms, or any
other inconsistencies.
In the coming weeks, you may be contacted by a Mosaic Sourcing Manager to discuss next steps, as we will be
assessing the relationships with many of our existing suppliers. We look forward to discussing price and terms as well
as other cost savings ideas as we focus on the growth of our Florida Phosphate business. Please be prepared to discuss
business opportunities that the acquisition may present for your company and how it will bring additional value to
Mosaic. It is important that you highlight areas where you believe you have the capability and interest to broaden our
relationship in the future.
We anticipate minimal business disruption due to the integration, but should you have any specific questions, please
direct them to your current primary contact person either within Mosaic or legacy CFI.
On behalf of the entire Mosaic team, thank you for your ongoing dedicated service to the phosphate industry and your
many contributions to Mosaic. We are looking forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Chris Martus
Sr. Director of Strategic Sourcing
