Letter of Understanding: Long Term International Assignment to Regina, Saskatchewan




Dear Bruce,


On behalf of The Mosaic Company (hereafter referred to as "the Company"), it is my pleasure to confirm the terms of your compensation and international assignment package for the position of Vice President, Potash. This Letter of Understanding outlines the terms and conditions that will govern your international assignment.
Assignment Details
For the purpose of the International Assignment, your home country place of origin will be Edina, MN, United States and your host country location will be considered Regina, Saskatchewan.


The anticipated start date of your international assignment is April 1, 2016. Your international assignment will continue for a period of approximately 36 months, after which a review to extend it will occur. Any time spent in Regina, Saskatchewan prior to the assignment start date will be considered a business trip.


Your anticipated repatriation date is May 1, 2019, and is based upon the Company's reasonable expectations at this time. This date is subject to change as determined by the Company's business needs and is conditioned upon your agreement to the terms of this Letter of Understanding. Upon completion of your international assignment, it is expected that you will repatriate to your home country location, in accordance with the terms and conditions that govern your international assignment. However, if, after 36 months on assignment, it is mutually agreed that you will remain in Regina Saskatchewan, for a longer period of time, discussions for your localization will begin.


The Company has engaged Plus Relocation Services, Inc. (hereafter  referred  to as "PLUS"),  a global relocation service provider, to administer your benefits. Your PLUS Relocation Counselor  will be available for questions and counselling throughout your international assignment.

Your Role While on Assignment
Throughout the international assignment period you will be considered an employee of the Company's U.S. entity, and your payroll will be administered by your home and host payroll department.


You will assume the title of Vice President, Potash, and will be reporting to Joe O'Rourke, President & CEO. While residing in Regina, Saskatchewan,  your role will be to  develop strategic  operating plans and activities to enhance and grow the Potash business unit, establish annual operating plans across the sites, develop working relationships with government and industry officials, and ensure safety and environment programs are maintained, while continuing to meet required regulations by country.
Compensation and Incentives
As an employee of your home country, your base pay structure will remain the same as when you were working in your home country  location.  As such,  your annual base salary  will be $375,000 USD and will be subject to the annual review and adjustment process,  which is based on performance goals and objectives as defined by the Company. You will participate in your home country bonus plan and will be subject to required deductions as determined by the home countries governing tax criteria for economic and social tax collection.


Eligibility and participation with respect to incentive schemes will continue to be administered in accordance with the home country criteria for each fiscal year. Your incentive plan will be based on the Corporate Management Incentive Plan. Your incentive target will be 60% of base salary.
Expatriate Family Eligibility
Accompanying Dependents
Dependents are members of your immediate family sharing the residence with you in a bona fide dependency  status (e.g. legal spouse, children, or other  relatives). Dependents  must  fall into one of the following categories:


■A person who is a dependent on the home country tax return, or
■A person who is a dependent on your health insurance plan through the Company.


Children
Dependent children may accompany you only if there is no conflict with immigration or other laws or regulations in the host country.


															
	Dependents
	The members of an Expatriate's immediate family sharing the residence with the Expatriate in a bona fide dependency status (e.g., legal status, children or other relatives whose status qualifies as dependency under tax/legal status in the employee's home country and the Company's entity). A legal spouse is one who has legal spouse recognition/rights from the Expatriate's home country government. This does not include common-law marriage unless the home country recognizes it (usually with a certificate) as a legal marriage.

Benefit Plans
During your international assignment, your health coverage will be provided by the Company's preferred provider that covers employees who are working away from home. You are responsible for scheduling a meeting with your benefits administrator prior to your departure date to ensure that no lapse in health coverage occurs. While on expatriate assignment you and your eligible dependents will be covered by an international expatriate plan offered by Cigna that includes medical, dental and vision. Details will be provided to you upon your acceptance of the assignment.To support home health care needs for your daughter, Mosaic will provide an annual allowance of
$65,700 gross, paid monthly. This allowance will end when your family relocates to Regina, Saskatchewan.
Physical Examinations, Inoculations, Vaccinations and Documentation
It will be your responsibility to ensure that you and any approved accompanying family members undertake necessary physical examinations, inoculations and vaccinations. Prior to commencement of the international assignment, you must also obtain any necessary medical records and documents that are required by both the home and host country laws. The Company will reimburse the expenses incurred in complying with such requirements if not covered by your health plan.
Holiday and Vacation
Your vacation plan will continue to be administered by the Company's home country location. It is expected  that you  will coordinate  planned  time off in advance  with both your home and host country managers.


Your holiday entitlement will be based on your host country location. You are expected to adopt the local working hours and employment practices in accordance with the laws and customs of the host country.
Immigration Services
Your international assignment is dependent upon the successful processing of your relevant entry, travel and work permit requirements, in accordance with the International Assignment Policy. The Company's immigration service provider will manage your home and host country immigration and relevant work permit obligations.


All immigration aspects of the international assignment, including work permits and visa applications, will be coordinated through the immigration services contact listed below.

Please work with your PLUS Relocation Counselor to coordinate all of these benefits and to process any payments or reimbursements.
Tax Equalization
In accordance with the Company's International Assignment Tax Policy, you will be neither advantaged nor disadvantaged during your international  assignment  as a result of the  differences in the income taxes and social security costs in the home and/or host country locations.


To achieve this balance  your  current  tax  withholdings  may cease and a hypothetical  rate of tax may be calculated and withheld from your wages. This 'hypo tax' may be retained by the Company to off-set the cost of home and host tax payments made on your behalf during your international assignment.  The 'hypo  tax" may  be adjusted  either up or down during your  international assignment.


Signing the Tax Equalization Policy Agreement acknowledging that you accept the terms and conditions of this Policy, is a pre-requisite to accepting the offer for a long-term international assignment. Under the terms of the Tax Equalization Policy Agreement, you agree to be considered tax equalized to your home state and country, which is effective from the start date of  your international assignment through any subsequent years while on the international assignment.


In the event of voluntary or involuntary  separation  from the Company,  a preliminary  tax equalization settlement may be prepared, resulting in additional terms of payment to or from the Company at time of separation.


Before your international assignment begins, you should contact the Company's Worldwide Tax Service Representative to schedule a home and host country tax consultation.
