TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS) ("Mosaic") today announced that it has commenced cash tender offers (collectively, the "Offers") to purchase the outstanding notes described below, in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated August 10, 2026 (the "Offer to Purchase").
The Notes offered to be purchased in the Offers, in the order of acceptance priority, are the 4.050% Senior Notes due 2027; 7.30% Debentures due 2028; 5.375% Senior Notes due 2028 and 4.350% Senior Notes due 2029 (collectively, the "Notes") for the consideration described below, up to an aggregate purchase price, excluding the Accrued Coupon Payment (as defined below), of $1,400,000,000 (the "Tender Cap") subject to proration and the application of the Acceptance Priority Levels set forth in the table below and as further set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the terms and conditions, including, among others, a $150,000,000 cap on the aggregate consideration to be paid to purchase the 4.350% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes") pursuant to the Offers (the "Series Cap") and the Acceptance Priority Procedures set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The 2029 Notes may be subject to proration both due to the Acceptance Priority Procedures and the Series Cap such that Mosaic will only accept for purchase the 2029 Notes for aggregate consideration up to the Series Cap. Subject to applicable law, Mosaic may, but is under no obligation to, eliminate, increase or decrease the Tender Cap and/or the Series Cap at any time prior to the Expiration Date. In the event proration is required with respect to a Series of Notes, Mosaic will multiply the principal amount of each valid tender of such Series of Notes by the applicable proration rate and round the resulting amount down to the nearest integral multiple of the Minimum Denomination, in order to determine the principal amount of such tender that will be accepted pursuant to the applicable Offer. The excess principal amount of Notes not accepted from the tendering Holders will be promptly returned to such Holders, and if this excess principal amount of Notes is less than $1,000, Mosaic may either accept or reject all such tendering Holders' validly tendered Notes in its sole discretion. Additionally, Mosaic may increase the amount of Notes accepted for payment in the Offers by no more than 2% of the outstanding Notes of the applicable Series, as further described in the Acceptance Priority Procedures set forth below, without amending or extending the Offer, and may also increase or decrease the percentage of the Notes accepted for payment in the Offer (including by more than 2% of the outstanding Notes of the applicable Series) by a press release or other public announcement that is widely disseminated by no later than 9:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the third business day before the scheduled Expiration Date. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this press release have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of Mosaic of the conditions of the Offers described in the Offer to Purchase and subject to the Tender Cap and the Series Cap, Mosaic will accept Notes for purchase in the order of their respective Acceptance Priority Level specified in this table (with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 4 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level.) |
The "Total Consideration" for each Series of Notes payable per each $1,000 principal amount of such Series of Notes validly tendered for purchase will be based on the applicable Fixed Spread for such Series of Notes, plus the Reference Yield based on the applicable Reference Security as quoted on the applicable Bloomberg Reference Page as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 14, 2026, unless extended by Mosaic with respect to the applicable Offer (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended by Mosaic with respect to such Offer, the "Price Determination Date"). Unless extended with respect to any Offer, promptly after the Price Determination Date, Mosaic will announce in a press release, among other things, the Total Consideration applicable to each Series of Notes accepted for purchase. In addition to the applicable Total Consideration, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to an Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest on those Notes from the last interest payment date with respect to those Notes to, but excluding, the Settlement Date (the "Accrued Interest," and the payment thereof, the "Accrued Coupon Payment").
The Offers are scheduled to expire on the Expiration Date, which is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 14, 2026, unless extended or earlier terminated by Mosaic with respect to any Offer. Tenders of Notes of a Series may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 14, 2026, but, except as provided in the Offer to Purchase or required by applicable law, may not be validly withdrawn thereafter.
The "Settlement Date" will be the second business day after the Expiration Date and is expected to be August 18, 2026.
The Offers are subject to certain conditions as described in the Offer to Purchase, including the Financing Condition, pursuant to which Mosaic shall have completed a proposed registered public offering (the "New Notes Offering") of new series of senior notes on terms and conditions satisfactory to Mosaic that results in its receipt of net proceeds that are sufficient to pay the Total Consideration for all Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase by Mosaic in the Offers, plus the total Accrued Coupon Payments.
In no event will the information contained in this press release regarding the New Notes Offering constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any New Notes. If any condition is not satisfied, Mosaic is not obligated to accept for payment, purchase or pay for, and may delay the acceptance for payment of, any tendered Notes, in each case subject to applicable law, and may terminate or alter any or all of the Offers. The Offers are not contingent upon the tender of any aggregate minimum principal amount of Notes of any Series (subject to minimum denomination requirements as set forth in the Offer to Purchase), and none of the Offers is conditioned on the consummation of any of the other Offers by Mosaic.
