Forward-looking Statements
Slide #2
This presentation contains “forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) or “forward-looking information”
(within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation) that relate to future events or our future performance. These statements can be identified by
expressions of belief, expectation or intention, as well as those statements that are not historical fact. These statements often contain words such as “should,” “could,”
“expect,” “forecast,” “may,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimates,” “plans” and similar expressions. These statements are based on certain factors and assumptions
as set forth in this document, including with respect to: foreign exchange rates, expected growth, results of operations, performance, business prospects and
opportunities, including the completion of the proposed merger of equals with Agrium, the disposition of our ownership positions in APC, ICL and SQM, and effective tax
rates. While we consider these factors and assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available, they may prove to be incorrect. Forward-looking
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. The results or events set forth in forward-looking statements may differ materially from
actual results or events. Several factors could cause our actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements including, but
not limited to, the following: our proposed merger of equals transaction with Agrium, including the failure to satisfy all required conditions, including required regulatory
approvals, or to satisfy or obtain waivers with respect to all other closing conditions in a timely manner and on favorable terms or at all; the occurrence of any event,
change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the arrangement agreement; certain costs that we may incur in connection with the proposed
merger of equals; certain restrictions in the arrangement agreement on our ability to take action outside the ordinary course of business without the consent of Agrium;
the effect of the announcement of the proposed merger of equals on our ability to retain customers, suppliers and personnel and on our operating future business and
operations generally; risks related to diversion of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed merger of equals; failure to realize the
anticipated benefits of the proposed merger of equals and to successfully integrate Agrium and PotashCorp; the risk that our credit ratings may be downgraded or there
may be adverse conditions in the credit markets; any significant impairment of the carrying value of certain assets; variations from our assumptions with respect to
foreign exchange rates, expected growth, results of operations, performance, business prospects and opportunities, and effective tax rates; fluctuations in supply and
demand in the fertilizer, sulfur and petrochemical markets; changes in competitive pressures, including pricing pressures; risks and uncertainties related to any
operating and workforce changes made in response to our industry and the markets we serve, including mine and inventory shutdowns; adverse or uncertain economic
conditions and changes in credit and financial markets; economic and political uncertainty around the world; changes in capital markets; the results of sales contract
negotiations within major markets; unexpected or adverse weather conditions; risks related to reputational loss; the occurrence of a major safety incident; inadequate
insurance coverage for a significant liability; our inability to obtain relevant permits for our operations; catastrophic events or malicious acts, including terrorism; certain
complications that may arise in our mining process, including water inflows; risks and uncertainties related to our international operations and assets; our ownership of
non-controlling equity interests in other companies; our prospects to reinvest capital in strategic opportunities and acquisitions; risks associated with natural gas and
other hedging activities; security risks related to our information technology systems; imprecision in reserve estimates; costs and availability of transportation and
distribution for our raw materials and products, including railcars and ocean freight; changes in, and the effects of, government policies and regulations; earnings and
the decisions of taxing authorities which could affect our effective tax rates; increases in the price or reduced availability of the raw materials that we use; our ability to
attract, develop, engage and retain skilled employees; strikes or other forms of work stoppage or slowdowns; rates of return on, and the risks associated with, our
investments and capital expenditures; timing and impact of capital expenditures; the impact of further innovation; adverse developments in pending or future legal
proceedings or government investigations; and violations of our governance and compliance policies. These risks and uncertainties are discussed in more detail under
the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results and Operations and Financial Condition” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and in other documents and reports subsequently filed by us with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian
provincial securities commissions. Forward-looking statements are given only as of the date hereof and we disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-
looking statements in this release, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
