In addition to the risk factors set forth below, please read the information included or incorporated by reference under the heading "Risk Factors" in the accompanying prospectus and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such a case, you may lose all or part of your original investment.* 

**Risks Related to the Notes** 

***The notes are senior unsecured obligations and are subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness.***

The notes are senior unsecured obligations and effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The indenture for the notes does not restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness generally, which would have a prior claim on the assets securing that indebtedness. In the event of our insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or winding up, our assets that serve as collateral for any secured indebtedness would be made available to satisfy the obligations to our secured creditors before any payments are made on the notes. See "Description of Debt Securities—General" in the accompanying prospectus.

***The notes are effectively subordinated to the obligations of our subsidiaries.***

All of our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries. Although the notes are unsubordinated obligations, they will be effectively subordinated to all liabilities of our subsidiaries, to the extent of their assets. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation to pay any amounts due under our indebtedness, including the notes, or to make any funds available to us, whether by paying dividends or otherwise, so that we can do so.

As of September 30, 2025, our consolidated subsidiaries had approximately $1.3 billion of indebtedness, the majority of which is guaranteed by The Mosaic Company.

***We have made only limited covenants in the indenture for the notes.***

The indenture for the notes does not:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• establish a sinking fund for the notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• require us to maintain any financial ratios or specific levels of net worth, revenues, income, cash flows or
liquidity and, accordingly, does not protect holders of the notes in the event that we incur operating losses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limit our subsidiaries' ability to incur indebtedness generally or indebtedness that would effectively rank
senior to the notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limit our ability to incur indebtedness generally or any indebtedness that is equal in right of payment to the
notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrict our subsidiaries' ability to issue securities that would be senior to the common stock of our
subsidiaries held by us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrict our ability to repurchase our securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrict our ability generally to pledge our assets or those of our subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrict our ability to make investments or to pay dividends or make other payments in respect of our common
stock or other securities ranking junior to the notes.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
***If an active trading market does not develop for a series of the notes, you may be unable to sell your notes of such series or to sell your notes of such series at prices that you deem sufficient.***

The notes are new issues of securities with no established trading markets. We do not intend to list the notes of any series on any securities exchange or include the notes in any automated quotation system. While the underwriters of the notes have advised us that they intend to make a market in the notes, the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may stop their market-making at any time. No assurance can be given:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• that a market for any series of notes will develop or continue;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• as to the liquidity of any market that does develop; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• as to your ability to sell any notes you may own or prices at which you may be able to sell your notes.

***We may be unable to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.***

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to a particular series of notes, subject to certain conditions, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase all outstanding notes of such series at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. See "Description of the Notes—Change of Control" in this prospectus supplement. The source of funds for such a repurchase will be our available cash or cash generated from our subsidiaries' operations or other potential sources, including borrowings, sales of assets or sales of equity. We cannot assure you that sufficient funds from such sources will be available at the time of any Change of Control Triggering Event to make required repurchases of notes tendered. Our future debt instruments may contain similar provisions. It is possible that we will not have sufficient funds at the time of the Change of Control Triggering Event to complete the required repurchase of the notes and, if applicable, our other indebtedness.

***Downgrades or other changes in our credit ratings could affect our financial results and reduce the market value of the notes.***

We expect that the notes will be rated "investment grade" by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. A rating is not a recommendation to purchase, hold or sell the notes, since a rating does not predict the market price of a particular security or its suitability for a particular investor. The rating organization may lower the rating or decide not to rate the notes in its sole discretion. The rating of the notes will be based primarily on the rating organization's assessment of the likelihood of timely payment of interest when due on the notes and the ultimate payment of principal of the notes on the final maturity date. Any ratings downgrade could increase our cost of borrowing or require certain actions to be performed to rectify such a situation. The reduction, suspension or withdrawal of the ratings of the notes will not, in and of itself, constitute an event of default under the indenture.

***The notes of each series offered hereby will vote with our 4.050% Senior Notes due 2027, our 5.375% Senior Notes due 2028, our 5.450% Senior Notes due 2033, our 4.875% Senior Notes due 2041, our 5.625% Senior Notes due 2043, the notes of the other series offered hereby and any other notes issued pursuant to the Indenture with respect to certain matters as provided in the Indenture.***

Pursuant to the Indenture, for purposes of certain amendments to the Indenture, the notes of each series offered hereby will vote as a single series on a *pro rata* basis with all outstanding notes of other series issued pursuant to the Indenture, including our 4.050% Senior Notes due 2027, our 5.375% Senior Notes due 2028, our 5.450% Senior Notes due 2033, our 4.875% Senior Notes due 2041, our 5.625% Senior Notes due 2043 and the notes of the other series offered hereby. Therefore, to the extent holders of such other notes have different interests than the holders of the notes of a series offered hereby, such other holders may, to the extent they represent a majority of all notes outstanding under the Indenture, amend the Indenture in ways that are not in the best interests of the holders of the notes of a series offered hereby.

**USE OF PROCEEDS** 

We estimate the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to be approximately $893.5 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated expenses of this offering payable by us. We intend to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of indebtedness. Pending such uses, we may invest the net proceeds in short-term investments, including cash, cash equivalents and/or marketable securities.

**DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES** 

*The following is a description of the principal terms of the notes. This description does not purport to be complete and is subject to the indenture dated October 24, 2011 (the "Indenture") between us and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Indenture is subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. A copy of the form of the Indenture has been filed with the SEC. This description supplements and, to the extent inconsistent therewith, replaces the description of the Debt Securities with respect to the notes offered hereby as set forth under "Description of Debt Securities" in the accompanying prospectus.* 

*As used under this heading "Description of the Notes," all references to "we," "us," "our" or "Mosaic" shall mean The Mosaic Company, excluding, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries, its proportionate share of joint ventures, any partnership of which it is a partner and its significant equity investments. All capitalized words used under this heading "Description of the Notes" and not defined herein have the meanings provided for in the accompanying prospectus.* 

**General** 

Payment of the principal, redemption amounts, if any, and interest on the notes will be made in United States dollars.

The 4.350% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "2029 notes") initially will be issued in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 and will bear interest at the rate of 4.350% per year and the 4.600% Senior Notes due 2030 (the "2030 notes" and, together with the 2029 notes, the "notes") initially will be issued in an aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000 and will bear interest at the rate of 4.600% per year.

We will pay interest on the 2029 notes semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning July 15, 2026, or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for, to the registered holders of the 2029 notes on the preceding January 1 or July 1, respectively. We will pay interest on the 2030 notes semiannually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning May 15, 2026, or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for, to the registered holders of the 2030 notes on the preceding May 1 or November 1, respectively. The 2029 notes will mature on January 15, 2029 and the 2030 notes will mature on November 15, 2030. The amount of interest payable will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

If any interest payment date, redemption date or the maturity date of the notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal, redemption amounts, if any, or interest will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after such interest payment date or the maturity date of the notes, as the case may be.

"***Business Day***" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation (including any executive order) to close in The City of New York.

We may from time to time without notice to, or the consent of, the holders of the notes of a particular series, "reopen" such series and issue additional notes of that series. Such further notes would be identical in all respects to the applicable series of notes offered hereby (except for the issue date, public offering price, payment of interest accruing before the issue date and, if applicable, the first interest payment date). There is no limit on the principal amount of notes we may issue under the Indenture from time to time. Additional notes of a series issued in this manner will be consolidated with and will form a single series with the notes of such series being offered hereby, *provided* that such additional notes are fungible with the notes of such series for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The notes will not be entitled to the benefits of any sinking fund.

The notes of each series will be represented by global securities registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC. Except as described below and under the heading "—The Depositary, Book-Entry and Settlement" below, notes in definitive form will not be issued.

The nominee of DTC, as holder of record of the global securities, will be entitled to receive payments of principal, redemption amounts, if any, and interest by wire transfer of same day funds for payment to beneficial owners in accordance with DTC's procedures. See "—The Depositary, Book-Entry and Settlement" below. In the event that notes of a series are issued in definitive form, principal, redemption amounts, if any, and interest on the notes of such series will be payable, and the notes of such series will be exchangeable and transferable, at an office or agency of the Trustee, except that at our option, interest, if any, may be paid (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the security register or (ii) by wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the security register.

The notes will be issued solely as registered notes issuable in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of notes, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

**Ranking** 

The notes will be our direct, senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured debt and will rank senior to all of our existing and future subordinated debt. As of September 30, 2025, The Mosaic Company had approximately $3.3 billion of indebtedness (excluding intercompany debt and letters of credit). The notes will be effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities, including guarantees, of any of our subsidiaries. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—The notes are effectively subordinated to the obligations of our subsidiaries" in this prospectus supplement. As of September 30, 2025, our consolidated subsidiaries had approximately $1.3 billion of indebtedness, the majority of which is guaranteed by The Mosaic Company. None of the net proceeds from the sale of the notes will be used to repay indebtedness and other liabilities of our consolidated subsidiaries.

**Optional Redemption** 

Prior to the applicable Par Call Date for a series of notes, the notes of such series will be redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon
discounted to the redemption date (assuming the notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)
at the Treasury Rate plus (i) 15 basis points, in the case of the 2029 notes, and (ii) 15 basis points, in the case of the 2030 notes, less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 100% of the principal amount of the notes of such series to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

On or after the applicable Par Call Date, we may redeem such notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes of such series being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
"***Par Call Date***" means,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in the case of the 2029 notes, December 15, 2028; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in the case of the 2030 notes, October 15, 2030.

"***Treasury Rate***" means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by us in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by us after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as "Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15" (or any successor designation or publication) ("H.15") under the caption "U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities— Nominal" (or any successor caption or heading) ("H.15 TCM"). In determining the Treasury Rate, we shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the applicable Par Call Date (such date the "Remaining Term"); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Term, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Term – and shall interpolate to the applicable Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Term, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Term. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, we shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the applicable Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the applicable Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the applicable Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the applicable Par Call Date, we shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the applicable Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, we shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

Our actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Trustee shall have no duty to calculate or confirm any calculation of the redemption price.

Notice of any redemption of the notes will be mailed or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each registered holder of the notes to be redeemed. Notice of any redemption or offer to purchase, whether in connection with a Change of Control or other transaction or event or otherwise, may be given prior to the completion or occurrence

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
thereof, and any such redemption, offer to purchase or notice may, at in our discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent (including conditions precedent applicable to different amounts of notes redeemed or required to be purchased), including, but not limited to, completion or occurrence of the related Change of Control or other transaction or event, as the case may be.

In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the note will state the portion of the principal amount of the note to be redeemed. If the notes are issued in definitive form, a new note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the note will be issued in the name of the holder of the note upon surrender for cancellation of the original note. For so long as the notes are held by DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the notes (including the selection of notes for redemption in the case of a partial redemption) shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.

Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the series of notes or portions thereof called for redemption on and after the redemption date.

**Change of Control** 

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to a series of notes, unless we have exercised our right to redeem such series of notes, as described above, holders of the notes of such series that have not been redeemed will have the right to require us to repurchase all or any part equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof of such notes pursuant to the offer described below (the "Change of Control Offer"). In the Change of Control Offer, we will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase ("Change of Control Payment"), subject to the right of holders of notes being repurchased on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. No later than 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to a series of notes or, at our option, prior to a Change of Control, but after the public announcement of such Change of Control, we will be required to mail a notice to holders of notes of such series, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the notes of such series on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the "Change of Control Payment Date"), pursuant to the procedures described in such notice. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on a Change of Control Triggering Event occurring prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. We must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture, we will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached our obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such conflicts.

On or before the Change of Control Payment Date with respect to a series of notes, we will be required to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• accept for payment all notes or portions of notes of such series properly tendered pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or
portions of notes of such series properly tendered; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the notes of such series properly accepted, together with an
officers' certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of notes or portions of notes of such series being purchased.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
For purposes of the foregoing discussion of a repurchase at the option of holders of notes, the following definitions are applicable:

"***Below Investment Grade Rating Event***" means, with respect to a series of notes, such series of notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies, on any date from the earlier of (i) the date of the Change of Control and (ii) the date of the public notice of an arrangement or transaction that could result in a Change of Control, until the end of the 60-day period following such date, which 60-day period shall be extended if, by the end of the 60-day period, the rating of the notes of such series is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by either of the Rating Agencies if the other Rating Agency has already lowered its ratings on the notes of such series as aforesaid, such extension to continue for so long as consideration for a possible downgrade continues by such Rating Agency.

"***Change of Control***" means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger, consolidation or amalgamation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of ours and our subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to one or more "persons" (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) other than us or any of our subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or amalgamation) the result of which is that one or more "persons" (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the total voting power in the aggregate of all classes of our voting stock normally entitled to vote in the elections of directors, other than any such transaction where shares of our voting stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the total voting power of the voting stock of such person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; (3) the first day on which a majority of the members of our board of directors are not Continuing Directors; (4) we consolidate with, or merge with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, Mosaic, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of our outstanding common stock or such other person's outstanding common stock is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where shares of our voting stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the total voting power of the voting stock of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; or (5) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of us.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) we become a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of a Person (as such terms are defined in the accompanying prospectus) and (2) the direct or indirect holders of the common stock of such Person immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of our common stock, or other voting shares into which our common stock are reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed immediately prior to that transaction.

The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of our and our subsidiaries' properties or assets taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require us to repurchase such holder's notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of our and our subsidiaries' assets taken as a whole to another person or group may be uncertain.

"***Change of Control Triggering Event***" with respect to a series of notes means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for such series of notes.

"***Continuing Directors***" means, as of any date of determination, any member of our board of directors who (1) was a member of such board of directors on the date of the issuance of the notes of the applicable series, or (2) was nominated for election or elected to such board of directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such board of directors at the time of such nomination or election

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
(either by a specific vote or by approval of our proxy circular in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection to such nomination).

"***Investment Grade Rating***" means a rating equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody's and BBB– (or the equivalent) by S&P.

"***Moody's***" means Moody's Investors Service, Inc., a subsidiary of Moody's Corporation, and its successors.

"***Rating Agencies***" means (1) each of Moody's and S&P, and (2) if any of Moody's or S&P ceases to rate the notes of a series or fails to make a rating of the notes of such series publicly available for any reason, a "nationally recognized statistical rating organization" within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act, selected by us (by a resolution of our board of directors) as a replacement agency with respect to the notes of such series for Moody's or S&P, or both of them, as the case may be.

"***S&P***" means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global, Inc., and its successors.

We will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to a series of notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to such series of notes if a third party makes an equivalent offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by us and such third party purchases all the notes of such series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

An event of default with respect to a series of notes shall be deemed to occur upon the failure by us to comply with the terms of the covenant set forth in this "— Change of Control" section with respect to such series of notes for a period of 60 days after written notice to us by the Trustee or to us and the Trustee by the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes of such series. If such an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes of such series may declare the principal amount of such notes and all interest thereon to be due and payable immediately, by notice in writing to us (and to the Trustee if given by holders), and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable. The consent of holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of a series is required to (i) modify or amend the provisions of this section (including the provisions of this paragraph) with respect to such series of notes and (ii) waive a past default or event of default on account of a breach of our obligations under this section with respect to such series of notes. The Change of Control Triggering Event provision may in certain circumstances make more difficult or discourage a sale or takeover of Mosaic. We could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including asset sales, acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control Triggering Event but that could increase the amount of indebtedness outstanding at such time or otherwise affect our capital structure or credit ratings on the notes.

We may not have sufficient funds to repurchase all of the notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—We may be unable to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event."

**The Depositary, Book-Entry and Settlement** 

DTC will act as securities depositary for each series of notes. The notes of each series may only be issued as global securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (as nominee of DTC), except in the limited circumstances described below.

DTC has advised us as follows: DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
securities that its participants ("Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book entry changes in Participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, depositories for Euroclear and Clearstream, clearing corporations and certain other organizations ("Direct Participants"). DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by The New York Stock Exchange, Inc. and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others, such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that clear transactions through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the SEC.

Purchases of notes within the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the notes on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of notes (a "Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct Participants' and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmation providing details of the transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings from the Direct Participants or Indirect Participants through which the Beneficial Owners hold notes.

Transfers of ownership interests in the notes will be accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the notes, except under the limited circumstances described under "Discontinuance of Depositary's Services" below.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all the notes deposited by Participants with DTC will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of notes with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. will effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC will have no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the notes. DTC's records will reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such notes are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements that may be in effect from time to time.

Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the notes of a series are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such notes to be redeemed.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will itself consent or vote with respect to the notes. Under its usual procedures, DTC will send an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the relevant record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the notes are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy). We believe that the arrangements among DTC, Direct Participants, Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners will enable the Beneficial Owners to exercise rights equivalent in substance to the rights that can be directly exercised by the registered holder of notes.

Payments of principal, redemption amounts, if any, and interest on the notes will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts on the relevant payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payments on such

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
payment date. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and practices, as is the case with securities held for the account of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and such payments will be the responsibility of such Participants and not of DTC, the Trustee or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements to the contrary that may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal, redemption amounts, if any, and interest to DTC is the responsibility of us or the responsibility of the Trustee, disbursements of such payments to Direct Participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners is the responsibility of Direct Participants and Indirect Participants.

Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC's procedures and will be settled in same-day funds. Transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures. Cross-market transfers between the participants in DTC, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC's rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by its respective depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant global note in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositaries for Euroclear or Clearstream.

Except as provided herein, a Beneficial Owner of an interest in a global security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of notes. Accordingly, each Beneficial Owner must rely on the procedures of DTC, the Direct Participants and the Indirect Participants to exercise any rights under the notes. The laws of some jurisdictions may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. Such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in the global securities as represented by a global certificate.

The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. Furthermore, such information is subject to any changes to these procedures that may be instituted unilaterally by DTC and to any changes to the arrangements between us and DTC.

Neither the Trustee nor we will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in a global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

**Discontinuance of Depositary's Services** 

A global security with respect to a series of notes shall be exchangeable for notes of such series registered in the names of persons other than DTC or its nominee or a successor depositary or other depositary or its nominee only if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• DTC or such successor depositary, as applicable, notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a
depositary for such global security and no successor depositary shall have been appointed by us within 90 days;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• DTC or such successor depositary, as applicable, at any time, ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act at which time DTC or such successor depositary, as applicable, is required to be so registered to act as such depositary and no successor depositary shall have been appointed by us within 90 days;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we, in our sole discretion, determine that such global security shall be so exchangeable; or

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• there shall have occurred and shall be continuing an event of default under the Indenture with respect to the
notes of such series and the Trustee has received through DTC a request from an owner of a beneficial interest in any global securities to exchange such global security for notes so registered.

Any global security with respect to a series of notes that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for notes of such series registered in such names as DTC or such successor depositary, as applicable, shall direct. It is expected that such instructions will be based upon directions received by DTC from its Participants or such successor depositary from its participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in such global security.

**The Trustee** 

U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association) is the trustee under the Indenture.

**CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS** 

*The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below, and there can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position regarding these matters.* 

**Prospective purchasers of notes should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and other tax consequences of purchasing, owning or disposing of notes.** 

This summary is for general information only and is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of notes. It does not address alternative minimum tax consequences or the additional tax on net investment income, nor does it address the U.S. federal estate and gift tax or any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences. This summary is limited to consequences to holders that purchase the notes for cash at original issue at their "issue price" (*i.e.*, the first price at which a substantial amount of the notes is sold for cash to persons other than bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers) and hold the notes as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular holders of notes in light of their specific circumstances or the tax considerations applicable to holders that may be subject to special U.S. federal income tax rules, such as: financial institutions; insurance companies; real estate investment trusts; regulated investment companies; brokers, dealers or traders in stocks, securities or currencies or notional principal contracts; tax-exempt entities; former citizens or long-term residents of the United States; U.S. Holders (as defined below) that have a functional currency that is not the U.S. dollar; persons that will hold notes as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes; "controlled foreign corporations;" "passive foreign investment companies;" and partnerships or other pass-through entities. If a partnership (or any other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds notes, the tax treatment of a partner in that partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships considering an investment in notes, and the partners in those partnerships, should consult their own tax advisors.

For purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of notes that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or
organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a trust, if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the
administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a
United States person.

For purposes of this discussion, the term "Non-U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of notes that is not a U.S. Holder.

**Effect of Certain Contingencies** 

In certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of the stated interest or principal on the notes or may pay amounts at times other than on the scheduled interest payment dates or the maturity date (see

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
"Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption" and "Description of the Notes—Change of Control"). These potential payments may implicate the provisions of Treasury regulations relating to "contingent payment debt instruments." Although the matter is not free from doubt, we intend to take the position that the possibility of the foregoing payments does not result in the notes being treated as contingent payment debt instruments. Our position is binding on a holder subject to U.S. federal income taxation unless the holder discloses its contrary position to the IRS in accordance with applicable Treasury regulations. Our position is not, however, binding on the IRS, and if the IRS were to successfully challenge this position, a holder might be required to accrue ordinary interest income on the notes in an amount greater than, and with timing different from the timing described herein with respect to, the stated interest and to treat all or any portion of any gain realized on a taxable disposition of the notes as ordinary interest income rather than capital gain. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments.

**U.S. Holders** 

***Stated Interest***

Stated interest on the notes will be taxable as ordinary income at the time the stated interest is received or accrued, in accordance with the U.S. Holder's regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The notes are not expected to be issued with original issue discount ("OID") for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The notes will be treated as issued with OID if their principal amount exceeds their issue price by at least a *de minimis* amount (0.25% of the principal amount multiplied by the number of complete years from the issue date of the notes until their maturity). If the notes are treated as issued with OID pursuant to these rules, a U.S. Holder would be required to include OID in income as it accrues based on a constant yield to maturity method before the receipt of corresponding cash payments. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the notes are issued with less than a *de minimis* amount of OID.

***Sale or Other Taxable Disposition***

A U.S. Holder will generally recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a note equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized less amounts attributable to any accrued but unpaid stated interest (which will be taxable as ordinary income to the extent not previously included in income) and (ii) the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the note. The amount realized includes the cash and the fair market value of any property received by the U.S. Holder in exchange for the note. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in a note generally will be equal to the amount that the U.S. Holder paid for the note. Any gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held the note for more than one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by certain non-corporate persons, including individuals, generally are taxable at a reduced rate. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.

***Information Reporting and Backup Withholding***

Payments of interest on the notes or proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the notes generally will be reported to the IRS, as required under applicable Treasury regulations. Backup withholding will apply to these payments if the U.S. Holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number and certification that it is not subject to backup withholding (generally on an IRS Form W-9) or otherwise fails to comply with the applicable backup withholding requirements. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Certain U.S. Holders are exempt from information reporting and backup withholding. Potential U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding qualification for an exemption and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**Non-U.S. Holders** 

***Stated Interest***

Subject to the discussion below regarding backup withholding and FATCA, interest paid to a Non-U.S. Holder with respect to the notes generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax provided that (i) such interest is not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States and (ii) the Non-U.S. Holder:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• does not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our
stock entitled to vote;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• is not a "controlled foreign corporation" that is related actively or constructively to us through
stock ownership;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• is not a bank that acquired the notes in consideration for an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan
agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• timely and properly provides the applicable withholding agent with a statement certifying, among other things,
that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a "United States person" within the meaning of the Code (generally on IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E).

If the Non-U.S. Holder cannot satisfy any of the requirements set forth above, the interest received on the notes will be subject to a 30% withholding tax unless the Non-U.S. Holder provides either (i) a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under an applicable tax treaty or (ii) a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI stating that interest paid on the notes is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

If the Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States and the interest on the note is effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business, payments of interest will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the same manner as described above for a U.S. Holder (subject to any modification provided under an applicable income tax treaty). If the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, it may also be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or lower treaty rate, if applicable) of its earnings and profits, subject to certain adjustments, that are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a U.S. trade or business.

***Sale or Other Taxable Disposition***

Subject to the discussion below regarding backup withholding and FATCA, any gain recognized by a Non-U.S. Holder on a sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a note generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax provided that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• such gain is not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's
conduct of a trade or business in the United States; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual, the Non-U.S. Holder is not present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition (calculated taking into account a portion of the days such individual was present in the United
States in the preceding two years) and certain other conditions are met.

If the Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States and the gain recognized on the disposition is effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business, the disposition of notes will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the same manner as described above for a U.S. holder (subject to any modification provided under an applicable income tax treaty). If the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, it may also be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or lower treaty rate, if applicable) of its earnings and

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
profits for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments, that are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a U.S. trade or business. If the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition (calculated taking into account a portion of the days such individual was present in the United States in the preceding two years), such gain (which may be offset by certain U.S. source losses) generally will be subject to a 30% tax (or lower treaty rate, if applicable).

***Information Reporting and Backup Withholding***

Payments of interest on the notes generally will be reported to the IRS, as required under applicable Treasury regulations. Copies of these information returns may also be made available under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established. Payments of proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the notes generally will be subject to information reporting if the disposition is effected within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries unless the Non-U.S. Holder provides the applicable withholding agent with a statement certifying, among other things, that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a "United States person" within the meaning of the Code (generally on IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). Payments subject to information reporting may be subject to backup withholding if the Non-U.S. Holder fails to certify the holder's non-U.S. status as described above. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against the Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Certain holders are exempt from information reporting and backup withholding. Potential holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding qualification for an exemption and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption.

**Foreign Account Tax Compliance** 

Under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly referred to as "FATCA"), a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax may apply to any interest paid on the notes to (i) a "foreign financial institution" (as specifically defined in the Code and whether such foreign financial institution is the beneficial owner or an intermediary) which does not provide sufficient documentation, typically on IRS Form W-8BEN-E, evidencing either (x) an exemption from FATCA, or (y) its compliance (or deemed compliance) with FATCA (which may alternatively be in the form of compliance with an intergovernmental agreement with the United States) in a manner which avoids withholding, or (ii) a "non-financial foreign entity" (as specifically defined in the Code and whether such non-financial foreign entity is the beneficial owner or an intermediary) which does not provide sufficient documentation, typically on IRS Form W-8BEN-E, evidencing either (x) an exemption from FATCA, or (y) adequate information regarding certain substantial U.S. beneficial owners of such entity (if any). If an interest payment is both subject to withholding under FATCA and subject to the withholding tax discussed above under "— Non-U.S Holders—Stated Interest" an applicable withholding agent may credit the withholding under FATCA against, and therefore reduce, such other withholding tax. While withholding under FATCA would also have applied to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other taxable disposition of the notes, proposed U.S. Treasury regulations (upon which taxpayers may rely until final regulations are issued) eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding these rules and whether they may be relevant to your ownership and disposition of the notes.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the notes included in this offering are subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and to other conditions. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all the notes if they purchase any of the notes. The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults, the purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the offering of notes may be terminated.

The underwriters propose to offer each series of the notes directly to the public at the public offering prices set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and may offer each series of the notes to dealers at the public offering price less a concession not to exceed 0.250% of the principal amount, in the case of the 2029 notes, and 0.350% of the principal amount, in the case of the 2030 notes. The underwriters may allow, and any such dealer may reallow, a concession not to exceed 0.150% of the principal amount, in the case of the 2029 notes, and 0.250% of the principal amount, in the case of the 2030 notes. After the initial offering of the notes to the public, the representatives may change the public offering price and other selling terms.

The following table shows the underwriting discounts that we are to pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the notes).

We estimate that our total expenses for this offering, other than the underwriting discounts, will be approximately $1.3 million and will be payable by us.

We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include sales and trading, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities and services. Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, a variety of these services to the issuer and to persons and entities with relationships with the issuer, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates, officers, directors and employees may purchase, sell or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and trading activities may involve or relate to assets, securities and/or instruments of the issuer (directly, as collateral securing other obligations or otherwise) and/or persons and entities with relationships with the issuer. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such assets, securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they should acquire, long and/or short positions in such assets, securities and instruments. In addition, certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates have, and will continue to have, lending relationships with the issuer.

If any of the underwriters or their affiliates has a lending relationship with the issuer, certain of those underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. Certain affiliates of the underwriters are lenders under the Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2025, as amended. In addition, U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., one of the underwriters, is an affiliate of the trustee under the indenture governing the notes. Bradesco Securities Inc. will act as agent of Banco Bradesco BBI S.A. for sales of the notes in the United States. Banco Bradesco BBI S.A. is not a broker-dealer registered with the SEC, and therefore may not make sales of any notes in the United States to U.S. persons. Banco Bradesco BBI S.A. and Bradesco Securities Inc. are affiliates of Banco Bradesco S.A.

**New Issue of Notes** 

The notes are new issues of securities with no established trading markets. We have not applied and do not intend to apply to list the notes on any securities exchange. The underwriters have advised us that they intend to make a market in each series of the notes. However, they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue any market-making in the notes at any time in their sole discretion. Therefore, we cannot assure you that liquid trading markets for the notes will develop, that you will be able to sell your notes at a particular time or that the prices you receive when you sell will be favorable.

**Settlement** 

The Company expects to deliver the notes against payment for the notes on or about November 13, 2025, which will be the second business day following the date of the pricing of the notes, or "T+2." Under Rule 15c6-1 under

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes prior to the business day before the delivery of the notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle T+2, to specify alternative settlement arrangements at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes prior to the business day before the delivery of the notes should consult their advisors.

**Sales Outside the United States** 

The notes may be offered and sold in the United States and certain jurisdictions outside the United States in which such offer and sale is permitted.

***European Economic Area***

The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA"). For these purposes, (a) a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the "Prospectus Regulation"); and (b) an "offer" includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the notes. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. This prospectus supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of the notes in any Member State of the EEA will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of notes. This prospectus supplement is not a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation.

***United Kingdom***

The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom ("UK"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently, no key information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation. This prospectus supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of the notes in the UK will be made pursuant to an exemption under the UK Prospectus Regulation and the FSMA from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of notes. This prospectus supplement is not a prospectus for the purposes of the UK Prospectus Regulation or the FSMA.

In the UK, this prospectus supplement is being distributed only to, and is directed only at, persons who are "qualified investors" (as defined in the UK Prospectus Regulation) who are (i) persons having professional

experience in matters relating to investments falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (as amended, the "Order"), or (ii) high net worth entities falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order, or (iii) persons to whom it would otherwise be lawful to distribute it, all such persons together being referred to as "Relevant Persons".

The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

**DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK** 

The following is a description of the material terms of our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws. The description below is qualified in its entirety by reference to our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, copies of which are filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The terms of our capital stock may also be affected by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL").

**Authorized Capital** 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 1 billion shares of common stock and 15 million shares of preferred stock.

**Common Stock** 

Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share with respect to all matters to which holders of common stock are entitled to vote.

Holders of common stock are generally entitled to dividends and other distributions in cash, securities or property out of funds legally available for that purpose as may be declared by our board of directors. Our board of directors' authority to declare dividends is subject to the rights of any holders of preferred stock and the availability of sufficient funds under the DGCL to pay dividends.

The common stock has no preemptive rights and no cumulative voting rights.

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, after payment in full of all amounts to which the holders of any then outstanding preferred stock may be entitled, the remaining assets to be distributed to the holders of the capital stock of the Company will be distributed ratably, on a share for share basis, among the holders of common stock.

**Preferred Stock** 

Our board of directors is authorized, subject to legal limitations, from time to time to provide for the issuance of shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and to prescribe the designation, powers, relative preferences and rights of the shares of each series and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of the shares of each series. This authorization includes the right to fix the designation of the series and the number of shares in it, dividend rates and rights, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption rights, sinking fund provisions, liquidation rights, and any other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof.

As of the date of this prospectus, there are no shares of the Company's preferred stock issued and outstanding.

We may be able to issue the Company's preferred stock in ways which may delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the Company without further action by our stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of the Company's preferred stock with voting and conversion rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the Company's common stock, including the loss of voting control to others.

**Certain Effects of Authorized but Unissued Stock** 

Authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes,

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
including future public or private offerings to raise additional capital and for corporate acquisitions. The Company could also use additional shares to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of the Company. See also "—Anti-Takeover Provisions in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws" below.

**Anti-Takeover Provisions in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws** 

The DGCL contains and our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain a number of provisions which may have the effect of discouraging transactions that involve an actual or threatened change of control of the Company. In addition, provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in his, her or its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price of the shares held by our stockholders, which include rules regarding how stockholders may present proposals to nominate directors for election at stockholders meetings, the ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval, the prohibition on stockholder action by written consent and the inability of stockholders to call special meetings.

**Delaware Statutory Provisions** 

The Company is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years from the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the interested stockholder attained this status with the approval of the board of directors or unless the business combination was approved in a prescribed manner. A "business combination" includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to exceptions, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years owned, 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock. This statute could prohibit or delay the accomplishment of mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts with respect to the Company and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire the Company.

**Transfer Agent and Registrar** 

Equiniti Trust Company, LLC is the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock.

**Listing** 

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "MOS".

**DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES** 

In this section only, "we," "us," "our" or "the Company" refer only to The Mosaic Company without any of its subsidiaries, any of its proportionate share of joint ventures, any partnership of which it is a partner or any of its significant equity investments.

The debt securities will be issued under an indenture (the "Indenture") between The Mosaic Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association) (the "Trustee"). The Indenture is subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

The terms and conditions applicable to a series of debt securities will be established in accordance with the requirements of the Indenture for the specific debt securities and contained in the applicable prospectus supplement.

A copy of the Indenture is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement on Form S-3 with respect to the debt securities. The following is a summary only of important provisions and definitions of the Indenture and the debt securities which describes certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities and is not intended to be complete. We urge you to review the Indenture carefully before making a decision to purchase any debt securities because it is the Indenture, and not this summary, that governs your rights as a holder of our debt securities. See "Where You Can Find More Information" for details concerning how you may obtain a copy of the registration statement, including the Indenture filed as an exhibit thereto.

**General** 

The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that we may issue under the Indenture. The Indenture provides that debt securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series and may be denominated in U.S. dollars or any foreign currency. Specific U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to any of the debt securities denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to any offering of securities denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, a series of debt securities may be reopened for issuance of additional debt securities of such series.

depository thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(t) the date as of which any temporary global debt security representing outstanding debt securities of a series

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(u) the person to whom any interest on registered debt securities of a series shall be payable, if other than the
person in whose name the debt security is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest;

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) any other or different terms, conditions, rights and preferences (or limitations on such rights and
preferences) relating to the debt securities of a series.

We reserve the right to set forth in a prospectus supplement specific terms of the debt securities that are not within the parameters set forth in this prospectus. In addition, to the extent that any particular terms of the debt securities described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described in this prospectus, the description of such terms set forth in this prospectus shall be deemed to have been superseded by the description of the differing terms set forth in such prospectus supplement with respect to such debt securities.

**Ranking** 

Unless otherwise indicated in any applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be our unsecured obligations and will rank *pari passu* as to priority of payment with all of our other outstanding unsecured and unsubordinated debt. We are a holding company that conducts all of our business through subsidiaries. Accordingly, the debt securities will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, other than the restriction on liens and sale and leaseback transactions set forth in the Indenture and described below, the Indenture does not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to afford holders of debt securities protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction involving us or any of our subsidiaries.

**Form, Exchange and Transfer** 

The Indenture provides that a series of debt securities may be issuable in global form.

A prospectus supplement may indicate the places to register a transfer of debt securities. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of debt securities, but we may, in certain circumstances, require a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection with these transactions.

We shall not be required to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any series of our debt securities during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of securities of that series and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of the relevant notice of redemption;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) register the transfer of or exchange any registered debt security, or portion thereof, called for redemption,
except the unredeemed portion of any registered debt security being redeemed in part; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any of our debt securities which have been surrendered for
repayment at the option of the holder, except the portion, if any, thereof not to be so repaid.

**Payment** 

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, payment of principal of (and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on) our debt securities will be made at the office or agency of the Trustee.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, payment of any interest will be made to the persons in whose name our debt securities are registered at the close of business on the day or days specified by us.

**Global Securities** 

A series of our debt securities may be issued in whole or in part in global form as a "global security" and will be registered in the name of and be deposited with a depositary, or its nominee, each of which will be

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
identified in the prospectus supplement relating to that series. Unless and until exchanged, in whole or in part, for our debt securities in definitive registered form, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary for such global security to a nominee of the depositary, by a nominee of the depositary to the depositary or another nominee of the depositary or by the depositary or any such nominee to a successor of the depositary or a nominee of the successor.

The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any portion of a particular series of our debt securities to be represented by a global security may be described in a prospectus supplement relating to such series. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements.

Upon the issuance of a global security, the depositary therefor or its nominee will credit, on its book entry and registration system, the respective principal amounts of our debt securities represented by the global security to the accounts of such persons, designated as "participants," having accounts with such depositary or its nominee. Such accounts shall be designated by the underwriters, dealers or agents participating in the distribution of our debt securities or by us if such debt securities are offered and sold directly by us. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to participants or persons that may hold beneficial interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary therefor or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) or by participants or persons that hold through participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). The laws of some states in the United States require that certain purchasers of securities have the ability to take physical delivery of such debt securities in definitive form.

So long as the depositary for a global security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of the global security, such depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by the global security for all purposes under the Indenture. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement for a series of debt securities, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have a series of our debt securities represented by the global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of such series of our debt securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the Indenture.

Any payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on global securities registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the global security representing such debt securities. Neither we, the Trustee nor any paying agent for our debt securities represented by the global securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of the global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

We expect that the depositary for a global security or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, will credit participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global security as shown on the records of such depositary or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a global security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such participants.

**Certain Definitions** 

Set forth below is a summary of certain of the defined terms used in the Indenture. We urge you to read the Indenture for the full definition of all such terms.

"***Attributable Debt***" means, with respect to any Sale/Leaseback Transaction as of any particular time, the present value (discounted at the rate of interest implicit in the terms of the lease) of the obligations of the lessee

"Net rental payments" under any lease for any period means the sum of the rental and other payments required to be paid in such period by the lessee thereunder, not including, however, any amounts required to be paid by such lessee (whether or not designated as rental or additional rental) on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments or similar charges.

Notwithstanding any terms of this definition to the contrary, "Debt" shall not include any trade accounts payable or accrued liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business.

"***Incur***" means, with respect to any Debt or other obligation of any Person, to create, issue, incur (by conversion, exchange or otherwise), assume, secure, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect of such Debt or other obligation or the recording, as required pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or otherwise, of any Debt or other obligation on the balance sheet of such Person (and "Incurrence" and "Incurred" shall have meanings correlative to the foregoing); *provided*, *however*, that a change in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that results in an obligation of such Person that exists at such time becoming Debt shall not be deemed an Incurrence of such Debt.

"***Person***" means an individual, a corporation, a partnership, an association, a trust or any other entity or organization, including a government or political subdivision or any agency or instrumentality thereof.

"***Principal Property***" means any manufacturing plant or warehouse owned or leased by the Company or any Subsidiary, whether owned or leased as of the date of the Indenture or thereafter, the gross book value of which exceeds 3% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, other than manufacturing plants and warehouses which the Board of Directors of the Company by resolution declares are not material to the total business conducted by the Company and the Subsidiaries as an entirety and which, when taken together with all other manufacturing plants and warehouses as to which such declaration has been so made, is so declared by the Board of Directors of the Company to be not of material importance to the total business conducted by the Company and the Subsidiaries as an entirety.

"***Sale/Leaseback Transaction***" means any arrangement with any Person providing for the leasing by us or any Subsidiary of ours, for a period of more than 36 months, of any Principal Property, which property has been or is to be sold or transferred by us or such Subsidiary to such Person in contemplation of such leasing.

For the purposes of this definition, "securities having ordinary voting power" means securities or other equity interests that ordinarily have voting power for the election of directors, or persons having management power with respect to the Person, whether at all times or only so long as no senior class of securities has such voting power by reason of any contingency.

**Covenants** 

***Limitation on Liens***

The Indenture provides that we will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary of ours to, Incur any Debt if such Debt is secured by a mortgage, pledge, security interest or lien (a "lien" or "liens") upon any Principal Property, without in any such case effectively providing that the debt securities shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Debt; *provided*, *however*, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) liens existing on the date the debt securities are originally issued or liens provided for under the terms of
agreements existing on such date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) liens on any property acquired or constructed by us or any Subsidiary of ours after the date of the Indenture
that are created or assumed contemporaneously with or within 270 days after such acquisition or construction to secure or provide for the payment of all or part of the purchase price or cost of construction thereof (or to secure any Debt Incurred by
us or a Subsidiary of ours for the purpose of financing all or a part of the purchase price or cost of construction thereof or of improvements thereon);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) existing liens on property acquired (including liens on any property acquired from a Person that is
consolidated or amalgamated with or merged with or into us or a Subsidiary of ours) or liens outstanding at the time any Person becomes a Subsidiary of ours that are not incurred in connection with such entity becoming a Subsidiary of ours;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) liens in favor of us or any Subsidiary of ours;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) liens on any property in favor of domestic or foreign governmental bodies to secure partial, progress, advance
or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) liens on any property to secure asset retirement, reclamation or similar obligations, or to secure penalties,
assessments, clean-up costs or other governmental charges relating to environmental protection matters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in
part, of any liens referred to in any foregoing clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) to the extent that the principal amount of Debt secured thereby does not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal
or replacement, together with the reasonable costs (including any premiums or make-whole payments) related to such extension, renewal or replacement, and to the extent that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or a part of
the property that secured the lien so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) any lien which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, to the extent that the aggregate
principal amount of the Debt so secured, together with the aggregate principal amount of other Debt secured by liens then outstanding (excluding Debt secured by liens permitted under the foregoing

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
exceptions and any obligation existing on the date the debt securities are originally issued that becomes Debt after such date due solely to a change in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) and the Attributable Debt in respect of all Sale/Leaseback Transactions entered into after the date of the Indenture (not including Attributable Debt in respect of any such Sale/Leaseback Transactions the proceeds of which are applied to the prepayment of outstanding debt securities or other Debt of ours as set forth below under clause (c) of "—Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions") would not then exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

***Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions***

The Indenture provides that we will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary of ours to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction with any Person (other than us or a Subsidiary of ours) unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) at the time of entering into such Sale/Leaseback Transaction, we or such Subsidiary would be entitled to Incur
Debt, in a principal amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction, secured by a lien on such Principal Property subject to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction, pursuant to the provisions of the covenant described
under "—Limitation on Liens" without equally and ratably securing the debt securities pursuant to such provisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) after the date on which debt securities are first issued and within a period commencing six months prior to the
consummation of such Sale/Leaseback Transaction and ending six months after the consummation thereof, we or any Subsidiary shall have expended for property used or to be used in the ordinary course of business of us or any Subsidiary (including
amounts expended for additions, expansions, alterations, repairs and improvements thereto) an amount equal to all or a portion of the net proceeds of such Sale/Leaseback Transaction, and we shall have elected to designate such amount as a credit
against such Sale/Leaseback Transaction (with any portion of such amount not being so designated to be applied as set forth in clause (c) below except to the extent permitted under clause (a) above); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) during the 12-month period after the effective date of such
Sale/Leaseback Transaction, we shall have applied to the voluntary defeasance or retirement of debt securities or any Debt of ours (other than debt securities or Debt that is held by us or any Subsidiary of ours or Debt of ours that is subordinate
in right of payment to the debt securities) an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale or transfer of the property leased in such Sale/Leaseback Transaction, which amount shall not be less than the fair value of such property at the time of
entering into such Sale/Leaseback Transaction (adjusted to reflect any amount expended by us as set forth in clause (b) above), less an amount equal to the principal amount of such debt securities and Debt voluntarily defeased or retired by us
within such 12-month period and not designated as a credit against any other Sale/Leaseback Transaction entered into by us or any Subsidiary of ours during such period.

***Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets***

The Indenture provides that we may not amalgamate or consolidate with or merge into any other corporation, or convey, transfer or lease, or permit one or more of our Significant Subsidiaries to convey, transfer or lease, all or substantially all of our and our Subsidiaries' property and assets, on a consolidated basis, to any Person (other than us or any of our Subsidiaries or a Person that will be a Subsidiary after the transaction) unless (i) either we are the continuing corporation or such corporation or Person assumes by supplemental indenture all of our obligations under the Indenture (including the debt securities), (ii) immediately after the transaction no default or event of default shall exist, (iii) the surviving corporation or such Person is a corporation, partnership or trust organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and (iv) we or such Person shall have delivered to the Trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such amalgamation, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and such supplemental indenture comply with the relevant provisions of the Indenture and that all conditions

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
precedent in the Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with. In addition, no such amalgamation, consolidation, merger or transfer may be made if, as a result thereof, any property or assets of ours or any Subsidiary would become subject to any lien or other encumbrance securing Debt, unless such lien or other encumbrance could be created pursuant to the provisions described under "—Limitation on Liens" above without equally and ratably securing the debt securities or unless the debt securities are secured equally and ratably with, or prior to, the Debt secured by such lien or other encumbrance.

**Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance** 

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Indenture provides that, at our option, we will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of any of the debt securities outstanding thereunder (except with respect to the authentication, transfer, exchange or replacement of such debt securities or the maintenance of a place of payment and certain other obligations set forth in the Indenture), upon irrevocable deposit with the Trustee, in trust, of money and/or government obligations which will provide money in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to pay the principal of and each installment of interest and any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments on the outstanding debt securities of such series ("Defeasance"). Such trust may only be established if among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) we have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States stating that (x) we have
received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of execution of the Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that
the holders of outstanding debt securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such Defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Defeasance had not occurred;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) no event of default or event that with the passing of time or the giving of notice, or both, shall constitute
an event of default shall have occurred or be continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) we have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that such deposit shall not cause the
Trustee or the trust created to be subject to the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) other customary conditions precedent are satisfied.

We may exercise our Defeasance option notwithstanding a prior exercise of the Covenant Defeasance option described in the following paragraph if we meet the conditions described in the preceding sentence at the time we exercise the Defeasance option.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Indenture provides that, at our option, unless and until we have exercised our Defeasance option described in the preceding paragraph, we may be released with respect to the debt securities, from the "Limitation on Liens" covenant, the "Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions" covenant, the "Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets" covenant and certain other covenants, and such omission shall not be deemed to be an event of default under the Indenture and the debt securities outstanding thereunder upon irrevocable deposit with the Trustee, in trust, of money and/or government obligations which will provide money in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to pay the principal of and each installment of interest and any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments on the outstanding debt securities of such series ("Covenant Defeasance"). If we exercise the Covenant Defeasance option, the obligations under the Indenture other than with respect to such covenants and the events of default other than with respect to such covenants shall remain in full force and effect. Such trust may only be established if, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) we have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States to the effect that the holders of
outstanding debt securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) no event of default or event that, with the passing of time or the giving of notice, or both, shall constitute
an event of default shall have occurred or be continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) we have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that such deposit shall not cause the
Trustee or the trust so created to be subject to the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) other customary conditions precedent are satisfied.

**Events of Default** 

The Indenture provides that the following shall constitute events of default with respect to debt securities of any series:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) default in the payment of any interest on any debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and
continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) default in the payment of the principal of (or any premium on) any debt security of that series at its
maturity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when the same becomes due by the terms of the debt
securities of that series;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) breach or default in the performance of any covenant or agreement of ours in the Indenture, which continues for
60 days after written notice to us by the Trustee or to us and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all outstanding debt securities of such series affected thereby;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) acceleration of or any failure to pay at final maturity any Debt of ours or any Subsidiary of ours in an
aggregate amount in excess of $100 million;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of us or any Subsidiary of ours which constitutes a
Significant Subsidiary; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) any other events of default provided with respect to the debt securities of that series.

If an event of default (other than an event of default described in clause (f)), occurs and is continuing with respect to debt securities of any series, then in every such case the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if the debt securities of that series are original issue discount debt securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all the outstanding debt securities of that series and all interest thereon to be due and payable immediately, by notice in writing to us (and to the Trustee if given by holders), and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable.

If an event of default described in clause (f) above occurs and is continuing with respect to debt securities of any series, the principal of and interest on all the debt securities of such series will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders of the debt securities.

However, at any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the outstanding debt securities of one or more series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series, by written notice to us and the Trustee, may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The Indenture provides that, subject to the duty of the Trustee during default to act with the required standard of care, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless such holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to such provisions for indemnification of the Trustee and certain other limitations set forth in the Indenture, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by an event of default shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the debt securities of all series affected by such event of default.

No holder of a debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceedings with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or a trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless (a) such holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing event of default with respect to the debt securities of that series, (b) the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by such event of default (as one class) have made written request, and such holder or holders have offered reasonable indemnity to the Trustee to institute such proceedings as trustee and (c) the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding, and has not received from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by such event of default (as one class) a direction inconsistent with such request, within 60 days after such notice, request and offer. However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the holder of a debt security for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on such debt security on or after the applicable due date specified in such debt security.

We will be required to furnish to the Trustee annually a statement by certain of our officers as to whether or not we, to their knowledge, are in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture and, if so, specifying all such known defaults.

**Modification of the Indenture and Waiver** 

Modification and amendment of the Indenture may be made by us and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by such modification or amendment (as one class); *provided* that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of such affected series: (i) change the stated maturity of the principal of (and premium, if any), or any installment of interest on, such outstanding debt security; (ii) reduce the principal of (and premium, if any), or any installment of interest on, such outstanding debt security; (iii) reduce the amount of the principal of such outstanding debt security payable upon the acceleration of the maturity thereof; (iv) change the place or currency of payment of principal of, or the premium, if any, or interest on, such outstanding debt security; (v) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the maturity thereof; (vi) reduce the percentage of outstanding debt securities of such series necessary to modify or amend the Indenture or to consent to any waiver thereunder or reduce the requirements for voting or quorum described below; or (vii) modify the foregoing requirements or reduce the percentage of outstanding debt securities necessary to waive any past default or covenants except as otherwise specified.

Notwithstanding the preceding, we and the Trustee are permitted to make modifications and amendments to the Indenture without the consent of any holder of debt securities of any series for any of the following purposes: (i) to evidence the succession of another person to us as obligor under the Indenture; (ii) to add covenants for any series of debt securities or to surrender any of our rights or powers in the Indenture; (iii) to add events of default for any series of debt securities; (iv) to add or change any provisions of the Indenture to permit or facilitate the issuance of debt securities in uncertificated form; (v) to change or eliminate any provisions of the Indenture, provided that any such change or elimination will become effective only when there are no debt securities outstanding of any series created prior thereto that are entitled to the benefit of such provision; (vi) to add guarantees to the debt securities of any series and guarantors under the Indenture or to secure the debt securities of any series; (vii) to establish the form or terms of debt securities of any series; (viii) to provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or facilitate the administration of the trusts under the Indenture

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
by more than one trustee; (ix) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the Indenture, *provided* that such action will not adversely affect the interests of holders of debt securities of any series in any material respect; or (x) to supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to the extent necessary to permit or facilitate defeasance and discharge of any series of debt securities, *provided* that such action will not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the debt securities of such series in any material respect.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series, on behalf of all holders of outstanding debt securities of such series, may waive compliance by us with certain restrictive provisions of the Indenture.
