This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 1, 2004 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 thereto, filed on August 16, 2006 (“Amendment No. 1”), and by Amendment No. 2 thereto, filed on October 22, 2008 (“Amendment No. 2” and, together with the Original Schedule 13D and Amendment No. 1, the “Schedule 13D”), by Cargill, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Cargill”), GNS I (U.S.) Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Cargill (“GNS I”), and Cargill Fertilizer, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Cargill (“CFI” and, collectively with Cargill and GNS I, the “Reporting Persons”), with respect to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of The Mosaic Company, a Delaware corporation (“Mosaic”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D. Except as specifically amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 3, all other provisions of the Schedule 13D shall remain in full force and effect.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

On January 18, 2011:

 

   

Cargill, Mosaic, GNS II (U.S.) Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Mosaic (“M Holdings”), and GNS Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of M Holdings (“Merger Sub”) and, for the limited purposes set forth therein, the Margaret A. Cargill Foundation (the “MAC Foundation”), Acorn Trust (“Acorn”), Anne Ray Charitable Trust (“Anne Ray Charity”) and Lilac Trust (“Lilac,” and together with the MAC Foundation, Acorn and the Anne Ray Charity, the “Charitable Trusts”) executed a Merger and Distribution Agreement (the “Merger and Distribution Agreement”) attached as Exhibit 3 hereto;


 

   

Cargill and the Charitable Trusts entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) attached as Exhibit 4 hereto;

 

   

Cargill, Mosaic, M Holdings and the Charitable Trusts entered into a Registration Agreement (the “Registration Agreement”) attached as Exhibit 5 hereto;

 

   

Cargill entered into Tender and Support Agreements (the “Support Agreements”) with certain stockholders of Cargill, each substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 6 hereto; and

 

   

Cargill, Mosaic and M Holdings entered into a Tax Agreement (the “Tax Agreement”) attached as Exhibit 7 hereto.

Cargill intends, on or prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by these agreements, to cause GNS I and CFI to transfer to Cargill all of the shares of Common Stock directly owned by GNS I and CFI. Pursuant to the transactions contemplated by these agreements, (1) M Holdings will effect a reclassification through an amendment to its certificate of incorporation that will authorize M Holdings to issue multiple classes of capital stock, (2) Merger Sub will merge with and into Mosaic, as a result of which Mosaic, the surviving corporation in the merger, will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of M Holdings and the shares of Common Stock held by Cargill will be converted into an equal number of shares of capital stock of M Holdings (as described below), (3) Cargill will divest its stake in M Holdings through a split-off of the M Holdings stock it receives in the merger to (a) certain Cargill stockholders in exchange for shares of Cargill common stock owned by them and (b) Cargill creditors in exchange for Cargill debt, and (4) the parties participating in the expected debt exchange and certain Cargill stockholders participating in the split-off will resell a number of shares of M Holdings stock in registered secondary offerings of the shares of M Holdings stock. Out of the approximately 286 million Mosaic shares currently held by Cargill, Cargill will split-off approximately 179 million shares of M Holdings stock to Cargill stockholders (including the Charitable Trusts) in exchange for all or a portion of those stockholders’ shares of Cargill common stock (the “Split-off”). Cargill expects to exchange all of its remaining approximately 107 million M Holdings shares for Cargill debt held by third party creditors. Pursuant to a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding certain aspects of the transactions, the transactions are expected to be tax free to Cargill and its stockholders who participate in the Split-off.

Merger and Distribution Agreement

The Merger and Distribution Agreement sets forth the terms upon which M Holdings will amend its certificate of incorporation and Merger Sub will merge with and into Mosaic, and sets forth certain rights among the parties with respect to the Split-off.

Prior to the effective time of the merger, M Holdings’ certificate of incorporation will be amended to, among other things, authorize M holdings to issue three classes of common stock: (1) M Holdings common stock, the holders of which will be entitled to one vote per share, (2) M Holdings Class A common stock, the holders of which will be entitled to one vote per share, and (3) M Holdings Class B common stock, the holders of which will be entitled to 10 votes per share solely with respect to voting for the election of M Holdings’ board of directors and one vote per share on all other matters. In the merger, Cargill will receive an aggregate number of shares of M Holdings common stock, M Holdings Class A common stock and M Holdings Class B common stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock held by Cargill immediately prior to the merger. Each of the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by Mosaic’s other stockholders will be converted, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of M Holdings common stock.

On the same day the merger becomes effective, Cargill will consummate the Split-off, in which it will exchange all of the shares of M Holdings common stock, M Holdings Class A common stock and M


Holdings Class B common stock it receives in the merger (other than approximately 107 million shares of M Holdings common stock, which Cargill expects to exchange for Cargill debt in one or more debt exchanges, described below) for all or a portion of the outstanding shares of Cargill common stock held by the Charitable Trusts and by other Cargill stockholders who participate in the Split-off. Subject to certain conditions, Cargill will determine the structure and terms and conditions of the transaction pursuant to which it may effect the Split-off. Cargill intends to effect the Split-off through an exchange offer to all of the holders of shares of common stock of Cargill that are “accredited investors.” Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, as more fully described below, the Charitable Trusts have agreed to participate in the exchange offer and exchange all of their shares of Cargill common stock for shares of M Holdings. Pursuant to the Support Agreements, certain other Cargill stockholders have agreed to tender a portion of their shares of Cargill common stock in the exchange offer.

It is expected that immediately following the completion of the Split-off, shares of M Holdings capital stock held by the Charitable Trusts and other Cargill stockholders who participate in the Split-off will represent approximately 40% of M Holdings’ total outstanding shares and approximately 82% of the total vote with respect to the election of M Holdings’ board of directors. After the Split-off, the shares of M Holdings common stock held by Mosaic’s current public stockholders will represent approximately 36% of M Holdings’ total outstanding shares and approximately 11% of the total vote with respect to the election of directors. The remaining approximately 24% of the outstanding shares of M Holdings stock, representing approximately 7% of the director vote, will be held by Cargill and is expected to be exchanged with certain Cargill debt holders. The actual number of shares of M Holdings stock distributed to Cargill stockholders and debt holders will depend on the exchange ratio used in the exchange offer, which will be based on the trading price of shares of Common Stock and the value of Cargill immediately preceding the Split-off.

Cargill intends that in connection with the Split-off, on the same day the merger becomes effective, it will consummate an initial debt exchange, pursuant to which it will exchange a portion of the shares of M Holdings common stock it receives in the merger for indebtedness of Cargill pursuant to one or more debt exchange agreements, and it may subsequently consummate one or more follow-on debt exchanges. Subject to certain conditions, Cargill will determine the structure, terms and conditions of any debt exchange.

The closing of the transactions is subject to the satisfaction or waiver by each of Mosaic and Cargill of certain conditions set forth in the Merger and Distribution Agreement, including, among other things: (1) approval of the Merger and Distribution Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (with the Reporting Persons having agreed to vote to approve the Merger and Distribution Agreement) and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock not held by the Reporting Persons; (2) effectiveness of a registration statement with respect to the formation offering contemplated by the Registration Agreement described below to be consummated on the same day the merger becomes effective; (3) no change in the private letter ruling issued by the IRS or change in law that could, (i) in the reasonable judgment of counsel of Mosaic, affect the validity of the private letter ruling in an adverse manner to Mosaic, or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel of Cargill, adversely affect the validity of the private letter ruling in an adverse manner to Cargill and (4) receipt of approval for listing of the shares of M Holdings common stock on the New York Stock Exchange.

In addition, the obligation of Mosaic to close the transactions is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the confirmation by Cargill that it will consummate the Split-off, and that each stockholder of Cargill who will, after giving effect to the Split-off, beneficially own shares of M Holdings representing 5% of more of the voting power of M Holdings, execute and deliver to M Holdings a governance agreement setting forth certain stand-still provisions and restrictions on transfer applicable after closing of the Split-off.

The obligation of Cargill to effect the closing of the transactions is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other conditions, including (1) receipt of tax-related certifications from Mosaic and the Charitable Trusts and receipt by Cargill of a tax opinion, (2) that no “Material Market Event” (as defined in the Merger and Distribution Agreement) shall have occurred and that (3) no material adverse change to Mosaic shall have occurred.


The Merger and Distribution Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to closing (1) by the mutual written consent of Cargill and Mosaic; (2) by either Cargill or Mosaic (A) in the event there is a final and non-appealable prohibition by a governmental entity of the merger, the Split-off, the initial debt exchange, or the registered secondary offerings that are expected to occur during the first fifteen months after the closing of the Split-off, as contemplated in the Registration Agreement; (B) if the Mosaic stockholders do not approve the Merger and Distribution Agreement; or (C) after August 18, 2011 if the closing has not occurred by such date (subject to extension under certain circumstances in accordance with the Merger and Distribution Agreement) (as so extended, the “End Date”); (3) by Mosaic, among other things, after a period of sixty consecutive days (or such longer number of days as provided in the Merger and Distribution Agreement) during which certain enumerated conditions to closing shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those that by their nature are to be satisfied as of the closing) (the “Closing Period”) if the closing of the merger has not occurred; or (4) by Cargill, if (A) Mosaic’s Board of Directors or Special committee changes its recommendation to its stockholders in favor of the approval of the Merger and Distribution Agreement prior to the approval of the Merger and Distribution Agreement by Mosaic’s stockholders, or (B) if Cargill’s board of directors determines in its sole discretion that the restructuring transactions are not in the best interest of Cargill and that then-present market conditions are not consistent with achieving Cargill’s business objective. In the event of termination under certain conditions, as described in the Merger and Distribution Agreement (including in the event that the Merger and Distribution Agreement is terminated because Cargill’s board of directors determines in its sole discretion that the transactions are not in the best interest of Cargill and that then-present market conditions are not consistent with achieving Cargill’s business objective), Cargill will be required to pay to Mosaic a termination fee of $200 million, which would be distributed by Mosaic to the holders of Common Stock (other than Cargill and its subsidiaries) on a pro-rata basis. In addition, in the event the Merger and Distribution Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which Cargill is required to pay a termination fee, the Reporting Persons will be restricted for six months following the termination from transferring shares of Common Stock constituting 35% or more of the Common Stock then outstanding unless all holders of Common Stock are provided with the opportunity to participate in such transaction on no less favorable terms.

Mosaic has undertaken various covenants in the Merger and Distribution Agreement in respect of its interim operations, pursuant to which, among other things, it has agreed not to amend its organizational documents, adopt certain plans of liquidation or dissolution, make certain changes to its line of business, effect certain acquisitions, issues, sales, grants, redemptions or other disposals of its own securities or grant certain rights over them, accelerate the exercise date of equity awards, make certain acquisitions or dispositions of businesses, assets or other properties, declare special dividends, or incur liabilities or obligations outside the ordinary course. In addition, Mosaic has agreed to hold a stockholders meeting, and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 which shall include a proxy statement, seeking stockholder approval of the adoption of the Merger and Distribution Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock not held by the Reporting Persons.

Cargill has agreed, among other things, to vote, or cause to be voted, at the Mosaic stockholders meeting, all shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons in favor of the adoption of the Merger and Distribution Agreement and any other matters to be implemented after the closing of the transactions and that are necessary to consummate the transactions. Cargill has undertaken various covenants restricting its ability until the earlier of the closing or the termination of the Merger and Distribution Agreement in accordance with its terms to transfer the shares of Common Stock, participate in an acquisition of securities of Mosaic or its subsidiaries or a business combination, recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to Mosaic or any of its subsidiaries, solicit proxies with respect to the voting of any Common Stock, participate in a group (other than with Cargill’s affiliates) with respect to any of the shares of Common Stock, or submit to Mosaic stockholders any written consent or call a special meeting of Mosaic’s stockholders. Cargill has also agreed that until the earlier of the closing or the termination of the Merger and Distribution Agreement in accordance with its terms,


except as permitted in accordance with the Merger and Distribution Agreement, it will not solicit alternative proposals, or participate in discussions with, or furnish information concerning Cargill or Mosaic to, any other person in connection with an alternative proposal.

Exchange Agreement

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Charitable Trusts have agreed to exchange all of their shares of Cargill common stock for shares of M Holdings stock as part of the Split-off.

The obligation of the Charitable Trusts to exchange their shares of Cargill common stock for shares of M Holdings stock is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement, each of which may be waived by the Charitable Trusts, including: (1) the completion of the merger and the amendment to M Holdings certificate of incorporation pursuant to which it will become authorized it to issue multiple classes of capital stock as described above; (2) effectiveness of a registration statement with respect to the formation offering contemplated by the Registration Agreement to be consummated on the same day the merger becomes effective; (3) the effectiveness of an underwriting agreement for the purchase by underwriters of at least 7.5 million shares of M Holdings common stock from the Charitable Trusts for resale to the public in the registered secondary offering as contemplated by the Registration Agreement to be consummated on the same day the merger becomes effective; (4) the shares of M Holdings common stock to be received by the Charitable Trusts in the Split-off shall have been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange; and (5) except as set forth in the Exchange Agreement, the terms and conditions on which stockholders of Cargill (other than the Charitable Trusts) exchange their shares of Cargill common stock in the Split-off must not be materially more favorable to such stockholders than the terms on which the Charitable Trusts exchange their shares of Cargill common stock in the Split-off.

The Charitable Trusts have undertaken various covenants which, among other things, restrict their ability to transfer shares of M Holdings stock, acquire any shares of capital stock or other securities of Cargill, Mosaic or M Holdings, grant proxies or enter into any voting agreement with respect to any common stock of Cargill, or request that Cargill’s stockholders consider, or vote or consent to, an initial public offering by Cargill. The Charitable Trusts have agreed to various other covenants and restrictions, including with respect to the transferability limits imposed on the shares of M Holdings stock received in the Split-off, and they have agreed to indemnify Cargill and its affiliates and their representatives in connection with certain tax losses.

The Exchange Agreement may be terminated prior to the exchange of the Charitable Trusts’ shares of Cargill common stock in the Split-off (1) by mutual consent of Cargill and the Charitable Trusts, (2) by either Cargill or the Charitable Trusts in the event of a final and non-appealable prohibition by a governmental authority of the Split-off, the exchange of the Charitable Trusts’ shares of Cargill common stock in the Split-off, or any of the registered secondary offerings during the first 15 months after closing, as contemplated in the Registration Agreement, or in the event the Merger and Distribution Agreement is terminated, or if the Split-off has not been consummated by the End Date, or (3) by the Charitable Trusts in the event of a breach by Cargill that would result in the failure of certain of the Charitable Trusts’ conditions to closing and which breach cannot be cured by the End Date, or at a time when Cargill has a right to terminate the Merger and Distribution Agreement due to a breach by Mosaic of certain of its covenants under the Merger and Distribution Agreement.

Registration Agreement

Pursuant to the Registration Agreement, following the Split-off, M Holdings has agreed to conduct registered secondary offerings (formation offerings) during the first 15 months after the merger to provide for the sale of a total of approximately 157 million of the shares of M Holdings stock by the Charitable Trusts and the participants in the Cargill debt exchanges. Participants in the expected debt exchanges are expected to sell a total of approximately 107 million shares of M Holdings common stock in the formation offerings and the Charitable Trusts will have the right to sell at least 49.5 million shares in the formation offerings. The first formation offering will occur on the same day as the Split-off and the merger immediately following the completion of the Split-off and the initial debt exchange. Up to three additional formation offerings may then be conducted within 15 months after the closing date.


All other shares of M Holdings stock received by the Charitable Trusts and not sold in the formation offerings and all shares of M Holdings stock received by other Cargill stockholders in the Split-off (approximately 129 million shares in the aggregate) will generally not be transferable for periods ranging from two and a half to four and a half years after the closing of the Split-off. The transfer restrictions on these shares of M Holdings stock will be released, and the shares will become transferable, in three equal annual installments beginning on the two and half year anniversary of the Split-off. To facilitate an orderly disposition of these shares, in connection with each annual release of the restricted shares of M Holdings stock, M Holdings will, at the request of the Charitable Trusts or, if the Charitable Trusts no longer hold shares of M Holdings stock, at its own election, register the shares of M Holdings stock for sale in a secondary “demand” offering that could occur each year after the second anniversary of the closing of the Split-off, with the first such secondary “demand” offering occurring not earlier than twelve months after the closing of the last formation offering (including the closing of all sales of shares pursuant to any overallotment option granted to underwriters in connection with such registered secondary offering) or certain primary equity issuances by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Registration Agreement.

Support Agreements

Cargill has entered into Support Agreements with certain stockholders of Cargill (collectively, the “Agreeing Stockholders”). Pursuant to the Support Agreements, each of the Agreeing Stockholders has agreed with Cargill that it will tender shares of Cargill common stock into the exchange offer in exchange for shares of M Holdings stock. Each Agreeing Stockholder has undertaken covenants which, among other things, restrict its ability to transfer shares of stock of M Holdings, acquire any shares of capital stock or other securities of Cargill, Mosaic or M Holdings, or grant proxies or enter into any voting agreement with respect to any common stock of M Holdings. Each Agreeing Stockholder has agreed to various other covenants and restrictions, including with respect to the transferability restrictions imposed on the shares of M Holdings stock received in the Split-off and the indemnification of Cargill and its affiliates and their representatives in connection with certain tax losses.

All other Cargill stockholders who wish to participate in the exchange offer (such stockholders, the “Other Tendering Stockholders”) will be required to:

1. make certain representations and warranties to Cargill, including with respect to its status as an accredited investor;

2. agree to various covenants and restrictions, similar to those in the Support Agreements described above, including with respect to the transferability restrictions imposed on the M Holdings shares received in the Split-off and the indemnification of Cargill, its affiliates and each of their representatives in connection with certain tax losses; and

3. acknowledge the transfer restrictions, discussed above, on the M Holdings shares received by it.

Tax Agreement

The Tax Agreement governs Mosaic’s and M Holdings’ tax related obligations with respect to the Split-off and it contains representations made by Mosaic and M Holdings in connection with Cargill’s receipt of the IRS Private Letter Ruling. The Tax Agreement also contains restrictions on M Holdings’ actions following the Split-Off, including limitations on M Holdings’ right to issue, transfer or approve the transfer of its equity securities, including in connection with a merger or business combination. Any actions by M Holdings that violate such limitations constitute “prohibited acts” under the Tax Agreement, as do certain other actions that could cause the transactions to be taxable to Cargill. However, any such actions may be undertaken by M Holdings if it obtains an opinion, satisfactory to Cargill, that such action(s) will not result in the transactions being treated as taxable to Cargill. This would potentially allow M Holdings the flexibility to take such actions (upon receipt of an opinion described above) based on the then-present facts and circumstances. The Tax Agreement details Mosaic’s and M Holdings’ obligation to indemnify Cargill in the event that any prohibited acts, or a breach of Mosaic’s representations or covenants, cause the split-off and the debt exchanges to fail to qualify as tax-free transactions. Receipt of a tax opinion described above does not relieve Mosaic from these indemnification obligations. The Tax Agreement also provides the parties’ rights to participate in and control a tax audit of the transactions.


The foregoing descriptions of the Merger and Distribution Agreement, Exchange Agreement, Registration Agreement, Support Agreement and Tax Agreement are summaries only and do not purport to be complete and are qualified, in all respects, by the provisions of the Merger and Distribution Agreement, Exchange Agreement, Registration Agreement, Support Agreement and Tax Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference. Copies of the Merger and Distribution Agreement, the Registration Agreement and the Tax Agreement are attached as Exhibits 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3, respectively, to Mosaic’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 19, 2011. Copies of the Exchange Agreement and Support Agreement are attached hereto as Exhibits 4 and 6, respectively.

Cargill and Mosaic currently expect that the transactions will be completed in the second calendar quarter of 2011. However, there can be no assurance as to when the merger, the Split-off or any of the other transactions described above will occur or if they will occur at all.

On January 18, 2011, Cargill and Mosaic issued a joint press release attached as Exhibit 8 hereto disclosing the transactions and arrangements with certain of its stockholders described above.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Cargill and its Subsidiaries (defined below) own in the aggregate 285,759,772 shares of the outstanding shares of Mosaic Common Stock (defined below);

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the MAC Trusts own in the aggregate 189,063,390 of the outstanding shares of Cargill Common Stock (defined below), and each MAC Trust owns the number of shares of Cargill Common Stock listed opposite such MAC Trust’s name on Annex A hereto (such number of shares in the aggregate and with respect to each MAC Trust, the “Subject Shares”);

WHEREAS, concurrently and in connection herewith, Mosaic (defined below), GNS II (U.S.) Corp., a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Mosaic that will change its name to “The Mosaic Company” promptly following the Merger Effective Time (as defined below) (“M Holdings”), GNS Merger Sub LLC, a limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of M Holdings (“Merger Sub”), and Cargill are entering into a Merger and Distribution Agreement (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger and Distribution Agreement”), pursuant to which on the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger and Distribution Agreement):

(a) the certificate of incorporation of M Holdings will be amended (such amendment, the “M Holdings Charter Amendment”) to, among other things, (x) authorize the issuance of (A) four series of shares of new M Holdings Class A Common Stock (as defined below), with each share of each such series being entitled to one (1) vote with respect to all matters on which the holders of M Holdings Class A Common Stock are entitled to vote, (B) three series of shares of new M Holdings Class B Common Stock (as defined below), with each share of each such series being entitled to ten (10) votes with respect to the election of directors and one (1) vote with respect to all other matters on which the holders of M Holdings Class B Common Stock are entitled to vote, and (C) shares of M Holdings Common Stock (as defined below), each share of which will be entitled to one (1) vote with respect to all matters on which the holders of M Holdings Common Stock are entitled to vote; and (y) reclassify all of the shares of capital stock of M Holdings then held by Mosaic into shares of M Holdings Common Stock to be held by Mosaic;

1


Merger) pursuant to which (i) Mosaic will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of M Holdings; (ii) a portion of the outstanding shares of Mosaic Common Stock held by Cargill will be converted, on a one-for-one basis, into the right to receive shares of the different series of M Holdings Class A Common Stock and M Holdings Class B Common Stock; and (iii) each of the other outstanding shares of Mosaic Common Stock (including a portion of the shares of Mosaic Common Stock held by Cargill) will be converted, on a one-for-one basis, into the right to receive shares of M Holdings Common Stock; and

(c) as promptly as practicable after the Merger Effective Time, Cargill will consummate a split-off transaction (the “Split-off”) pursuant to which Cargill will exchange all of the shares of M Holdings Class B Common Stock, M Holdings Class A Common Stock and M Holdings Common Stock, to be received by it in the Merger (other than the Cargill Retained M Holdings Shares (as defined below)) with certain stockholders of Cargill for outstanding shares of capital stock of Cargill held by such stockholders of Cargill;

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties wish to provide for the exchange of the Subject Shares owned by the MAC Trusts for M Holdings Stock as part of the Split-off; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Registration Agreement being entered into concurrently herewith by and among Mosaic, M Holdings, the MAC Trusts and Cargill (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Registration Agreement”), the MAC Trusts will be entitled to sell in Formation Offerings (and, under certain circumstances, other sales) shares of M Holdings Common Stock the MAC Trusts receive in the Split-off and shares of M Holdings Common Stock the MAC Trusts receive upon the conversion of certain of the shares of M Holdings Class A Common Stock the MAC Trusts receive in the Split-off.

Notice to a MAC Trust and its Associated Entity of the existence of a claim shall be given by Cargill as soon as practicable after Cargill receives written notice of the claim; provided that any failure to provide such prompt

 

23


notice of the existence of a claim to such MAC Trust or its Associated Entity shall not affect Cargill’s right to seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.3 except and only to the extent that such failure results in a lack of actual notice to such MAC Trust and its Associated Entity and such MAC Trust or its Associated Entity shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such delay.

(ii) A MAC Trust shall be required to pay to Cargill solely out of the assets of such MAC Trust and up to a maximum amount equal to the Aggregate Exchange Value any amount due with respect to a claim of indemnification against it pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) promptly upon the first to occur of: (x) a final determination under Section 1313 of the Code having been reached with respect to the matter that gave rise to such claim for indemnification; or (y) such MAC Trust and Cargill entering into a mutual agreement with respect to the total amount that is due from such MAC Trust with respect to such claim for indemnification.

If Cargill does not settle a Tax Controversy because the applicable MAC Trust has failed to consent to such settlement, then to the extent that the amount of the final settlement or assessment or other final determination of the Tax Controversy exceeds the amount at which Cargill had proposed to settle such Tax Controversy, the applicable MAC Trust (and its Associated Entity) shall bear the full cost of such excess, regardless of whether the applicable MAC Trusts are determined to be responsible for the underlying Tax Loss pursuant to this Section 4.3.

(c) The indemnification obligations and the remedies provided in this Section 4.3 shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by Cargill of any and all other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against the MAC Trusts; provided that Cargill may not recover more than once for any Tax Loss it has incurred.

(a) In the event of any termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1 prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall forthwith become wholly void and there shall be no liability or obligations on the part of any party except with respect to this Section 6.2, Section 4.1(b) and Article VII which shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that, subject to Sections 6.2(c) and (d), the forgoing shall not relieve any party from any liability for any inaccuracy in, or breach by any party or any of its Representatives of, any warranties, covenants or obligations of any such party under this Agreement prior to such termination.

& Phelps (or any successor valuation firm) in a manner consistent in all material respects with the Prior Duff & Phelps Methodologies (as defined below) as of the end of the fiscal quarter of Cargill last ended prior to the date of delivery of such notice (such value per share, the “Cargill Share Value”). For avoidance of doubt, the Cargill Share Value shall reflect a 15% illiquidity discount. The MAC Trusts (acting jointly) shall have the right to elect to sell to Cargill a number of shares of Cargill Common Stock equal to four hundred million dollars ($400,000,000.00) divided by the Cargill Share Value (such shares, the “Sale Shares”) by delivering to Cargill of a written notice of such election (a “Sale Notice”) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Cargill Share Value Notice (the “Sale Election Period”). The Sale Notice shall set forth the number of the Sale Shares to be sold by each of the MAC Trusts.

Promptly after receiving a Sale Notice in accordance with the foregoing, unless the applicable transfer is permitted under Article IV, Section 10, Paragraph A of Cargill’s certificate of incorporation, Cargill shall provide to the applicable stockholders of Cargill the written notices to such stockholders contemplated by Article IV, Section 10, Paragraph B of Cargill’s certificate of incorporation. If the MAC Trusts (acting jointly) shall have delivered a Sale Notice to Cargill during the Sale Election Period, Cargill shall purchase from each of the MAC Trusts, and each of the MAC Trusts shall sell to Cargill, the number of Sale Shares to be sold by such MAC Trust as set forth in the Sale Notice (less the number of such shares, if any, purchased from such MAC Trust by stockholders of Cargill pursuant to the purchase options provided for in Article IV, Section 10, Paragraph B of Cargill’s certificate of incorporation) at a cash price per share equal to the Cargill Share Value. The closing of such purchases and sales shall occur on a date selected by Cargill (in a written notice delivered to the MAC Trusts at least five (5) Business Days prior to the closing date), which date shall be within thirty (30) days after the last of the applicable purchase option periods provided for in Article IV, Section 10, Paragraph B of Cargill’s certificate of incorporation shall have expired or been waived in full or, if such purchase options are not applicable, within thirty (30) days after delivery by the MAC Trusts (acting jointly) to Cargill of the Sale Notice. At the closing, (A) each of the MAC Trusts shall deliver to Cargill certificates representing the shares of Cargill Common Stock being sold to Cargill by such MAC Trust, accompanied by duly executed assignment documents in a form reasonably satisfactory to Cargill and a certificate in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Cargill containing representations and warranties from each of the MAC Trusts selling shares with respect to power, authority, no conflict with governing instruments and applicable law and transfer of such shares of Cargill Common Stock, free and clear of all Securities Encumbrances, and (B) Cargill shall deliver to each of the MAC Trusts selling shares an amount equal to the Cargill Share Value multiplied by the number of shares being sold to Cargill by such MAC Trust by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more bank accounts identified by such MAC Trust by written notice delivered to Cargill at least two (2) Business Days prior to closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cargill shall not be required to purchase any shares of Cargill Common Stock from the MAC Trusts pursuant to this Section 6.2(c) if any MAC Trust shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations set forth in the Transaction Documents.

 

34


(d) In the event that (x) this Agreement is terminated by Cargill or the MAC Trusts (A)(1) pursuant to Section 6.1(b), (2) pursuant to Sections 6.1(d)(ii) or 6.1(d)(iii) under circumstances in which Cargill is required to pay the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Merger and Distribution Agreement or (3) the Merger and Distribution Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1(a) thereof, and, in each case, the MAC Trusts shall not have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations set forth in the Transaction Documents, (y) within the one (1) year period after the date of termination of this Agreement (the “Tail Period”), Cargill and/or one of its Subsidiaries (other than Mosaic or its Subsidiaries) shall enter a definitive agreement (a “Tail Period Sale Agreement”) for a sale by Cargill and/or one or more of such Subsidiaries of an aggregate number of shares of Mosaic Common Stock equal to at least a majority of the shares of Mosaic Common Stock owned by Cargill and its Subsidiaries as of the date of termination of this Agreement in a taxable transaction (an “Alternative Sale Transaction”), and (z) Cargill subsequently consummates such Alternative Sale Transaction, then, in addition to Section 6.2(c), the following shall apply:

(i) Within ten (10) Business Days after the conclusion of the first fiscal quarter of Cargill ending after consummation of the Alternative Sale Transaction, Cargill shall deliver to the MAC Trusts a written notice (the “Cargill Post-Transaction Share Value Notice”) setting forth the value per share of Cargill Common Stock as determined by Duff & Phelps (or any successor valuation firm) as of the end of such fiscal quarter (such value per share, the “Cargill Post-Transaction Share Value”). For avoidance of doubt, the Cargill Post-Transaction Share Value shall (x) be determined by Duff & Phelps in a manner consistent in all material respects with the Prior Duff & Phelps Methodologies giving effect to the Alternative Sale Transaction and all Taxes paid or required to be paid by Cargill and its Subsidiaries with respect to such Alternative Sale Transaction (the amount of such Taxes to be calculated by an officer of Cargill (and reflected in an certificate delivered by Cargill to Duff & Phelps and the MAC Trusts, with a copy to Loeb & Loeb LLP) assuming Cargill is subject to Tax at the Assumed Combined Tax Rate, and all other fees and expenses incurred by them, in connection with the Alternative Sale Transaction, and (y) reflect a 15% illiquidity discount. “Prior Duff & Phelps Methodologies” means the practices of, and methodologies used by, Duff & Phelps in preparing valuations of the capital stock of Cargill during the three (3) years prior to the determination of the applicable value; provided that the parties agree and understand that the foregoing shall not prevent Duff & Phelps from using its professional judgment in performing its analysis and/or from making such modifications to the manner to which the methodologies referred to above are applied as are necessary or appropriate in the professional judgment of Duff & Phelps, in order to account for the facts and circumstances in existence at the time of the determination of the applicable value.

(ii) The MAC Trusts (acting jointly) shall have the right to elect to sell to Cargill a number of shares of Cargill Common Stock equal to the Applicable Post-Transaction Purchase Amount (as defined below) divided by the Cargill Post-Transaction Share Value (such shares, the “Post-Transaction Sale Shares”) by delivering to Cargill a written notice of such election (a “Post-Transaction Sale Notice”) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Cargill Post-Transaction Share Value Notice (the

 

35


Post-Transaction Sale Election Period”). The Post-Transaction Sale Notice shall set forth the number of the Post-Transaction Sale Shares to be sold by each of the MAC Trusts. Cargill may deem any Post-Transaction Sale Notice delivered by the MAC Trusts (acting jointly) to constitute the “Stockholder Notices” (as defined in Article IV, Section 10, Paragraph B of Cargill’s certificate of incorporation) of each of the MAC Trusts with respect to the transfer by such MAC Trust of the portion of the Post-Transaction Sale Shares to be sold to Cargill by such MAC Trust as set forth in the Post-Transaction Sale Notice, unless such transfer is permitted under Article IV, Section 10, Paragraph A of Cargill’s certificate of incorporation. Promptly after receiving a Post-Transaction Sale Notice in accordance with the foregoing, unless the applicable transfer is permitted under Article IV, Section 10, Paragraph A of Cargill’s certificate of incorporation, Cargill shall provide to the applicable stockholders of Cargill the written notices to such stockholders contemplated by Article IV, Section 10, Paragraph B of Cargill’s certificate of incorporation. The “Applicable Post-Transaction Purchase Amount” shall mean (x) (a) the aggregate amount of the consideration received by Cargill and its Subsidiaries for the shares of Mosaic Common Stock sold by them pursuant to the Alternative Sale Transaction, less the aggregate amount of Taxes paid or required to be paid by Cargill and its Subsidiaries with respect to such Alternative Sale Transaction (the amount of such Taxes to be calculated by an officer of Cargill (and reflected in an certificate delivered by Cargill to Duff & Phelps and the MAC Trusts, with a copy to Loeb & Loeb LLP) assuming Cargill is subject to Tax at the Assumed Combined Tax Rate), and all other fees and expenses incurred by them, in connection with the Alternative Sale Transaction, divided by (b) the number of shares of Mosaic Common Stock sold by Cargill and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Alternative Sale Transaction, multiplied by (y) fifty million (50,000,000).

(iii) If the MAC Trusts (acting jointly) shall deliver a Post-Transaction Sale Notice to Cargill during the Post-Transaction Sale Election Period, Cargill shall purchase from each of the MAC Trusts, and each of the MAC Trusts shall sell to Cargill, the number of Post-Transaction Sale Shares to be sold by such MAC Trust as set forth in the Post-Transaction Sale Notice (less the number of such shares, if any, purchased from such MAC Trust by stockholders of Cargill pursuant to the purchase options provided for in Article IV, Section 10, Paragraph B of Cargill’s certificate of incorporation) at a cash price per share equal to the Cargill Post-Transaction Share Value. The closing of such purchases and sales shall occur on a date selected by Cargill (in a written notice delivered to the MAC Trusts at least five (5) Business Days prior to the closing date), which date shall be within thirty (30) days after the last of the applicable purchase option periods provided for in Article IV, Section 10, Paragraph B of Cargill’s certificate of incorporation shall have expired or been waived in full or, if such purchase options are not applicable, within thirty (30) days after delivery by the MAC Trusts (acting jointly) to Cargill of the Post-Transaction Sale Notice. At the closing, (A) each of the MAC Trusts shall deliver to Cargill certificates representing the shares of Cargill Common Stock being sold to Cargill by such MAC Trust, accompanied by duly executed assignment documents in form reasonably satisfactory to Cargill and a certificate in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Cargill containing representations and warranties from each of the MAC Trusts selling shares with respect to power, authority, no conflict

 

36


with governing instruments and applicable law and transfer of such shares of Cargill Common Stock, free and clear of all Securities Encumbrances, and (B) Cargill shall deliver to each of the MAC Trusts selling shares an amount equal to the Cargill Post-Transaction Share Value multiplied by the number of shares being sold to Cargill by such MAC Trust by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more bank accounts identified by such MAC Trust by written notice delivered to Cargill at least two (2) Business Days prior to closing.

(iv) In the event that within thirty (30) days of the consummation of an Alternative Sale Transaction, Cargill shall purchase shares of Cargill Common Stock from stockholders of Cargill at a price per share greater than the Cargill Post-Transaction Share Value (except to the extent the increase in the price per share results solely from a change in the value per share of Cargill Common Stock as determined by Duff & Phelps (or any successor valuation firm)), if the closing contemplated by clause (iii) of this Section 6.2(d) shall not have previously occurred, the price to be paid by Cargill per share for shares of Cargill Common Stock to be purchased from the MAC Trusts pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2(d) shall be increased to equal such greater amount, it being understood that that the closing contemplated by clause (iii) of this Section 6.2(d) shall be delayed to the extent necessary to allow for compliance with any notice and option requirements of Article IV, Section 10 of Cargill’s certificate of incorporation applicable to a transaction between Cargill and the MAC Trusts at such greater price. In the event that within thirty (30) days of the consummation of an Alternative Sale Transaction, Cargill shall purchase shares of Cargill Common Stock from stockholders of Cargill at a price per share greater than the Cargill Post-Transaction Share Value (except to the extent the increase in the price per share results solely from a change in the value per share of Cargill Common Stock as determined by Duff & Phelps (or any successor valuation firm)) and the closing contemplated by clause (iii) of this Section 6.2(d) shall have previously occurred, Cargill shall promptly pay to each of the MAC Trusts an amount equal to the difference between such greater price per share and the Cargill Post-Transaction Share Value multiplied by the number of shares of Cargill Common Stock purchased by Cargill from such MAC Trust at such closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more bank accounts identified by the MAC Trusts by written notice delivered to Cargill.

(v) In the event that within thirty (30) days of the consummation of an Alternative Sale Transaction, Cargill shall offer to purchase shares of Cargill Common Stock from stockholders of Cargill other than the MAC Trusts and such stockholders shall elect to sell to Cargill in the aggregate fewer shares of Cargill Common Stock than Cargill offered to purchase (the difference between the number of shares Cargill offered to purchase and such Cargill stockholders elected to sell to Cargill, the “Excess Number”), Cargill shall provide the MAC Trusts with the opportunity to sell to Cargill a number of shares of Cargill Common Stock equal to the Excess Number at the price per share offered to such other stockholders. Any shares sold by the MAC Trusts to Cargill pursuant to this clause (v) shall be in addition to shares of Cargill Common Stock required to be purchased from the MAC Trusts by Cargill pursuant to the prior provisions of this Section 6.2(d).

 

37


(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cargill shall not be required to purchase any shares of Cargill Common Stock from the MAC Trusts pursuant to this Section 6.2(d) if any MAC Trust shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations set forth in the Transaction Documents.

(e) Each MAC Trust agrees that, in the event that the Exchange Closing shall not have occurred, the remedies provided for in Sections 6.2(c) and (d) shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the MAC Trusts and their respective Representatives for, and in no event may any of the MAC Trusts or any of their respective Representatives seek to recover any damages or seek any other legal or equitable remedy against Cargill or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives with respect to, any loss, claim, cause of action or damages relating to, or arising out of, or resulting from, any failure of the Exchange, the Split-off or the Formation Offerings to occur or any breach, non-performance, failure or termination of or under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(f) Each MAC Trust agrees and acknowledges that (a) Cargill is entering into the Merger and Distribution Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in reliance upon such MAC Trust’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, (b) the failure of any MAC Trust to consummate the Exchange Closing could result in Cargill being required under the Merger and Distribution Agreement to pay the Termination Fee and reimburse Mosaic for certain fees and expenses incurred by Mosaic, and (c) in the event such MAC Trust does not consummate the Exchange Closing in accordance with the terms hereof in breach of this Agreement and such failure by such MAC Trust prevents consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger and Distribution Agreement, in addition to all other remedies to which Cargill is entitled to at Law or in equity, Cargill shall be entitled to recover from such MAC Trust the aggregate amount of any termination fee and reimbursement of Mosaic’s fees and expenses that Cargill paid or is obligated to pay under the Merger and Distribution Agreement in connection with the termination thereof (provided that the right to recover the aggregate amount of any termination fee and reimbursement of Mosaic’s fees and expenses set forth in this Section 6.2(f) shall not entitle Cargill to recover from all MAC Trusts pursuant to this Section 6.2(f) more than such aggregate amount).

This Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any Person, other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder; provided, that Mosaic and M Holdings shall be express third party beneficiaries of, and may rely upon, the representations of the MAC Trusts set forth in Sections 3.2(g) and 3.2(h) of this Agreement and enforce the covenants set forth in Section 4.2 and the proviso in the next sentence. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part at any time by an agreement in writing between the parties hereto executed in the same manner as this Agreement; provided, that any amendment, modification or waiver to the representations of the MAC Trusts set forth in Sections 3.2(g) or 3.2(h) of this Agreement or the covenants set forth in Section 4.2 (or any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement that has the effect of modifying or altering the representations and covenants set forth in such sections) or this Section 7.6 shall also require the written consent of Mosaic and M Holdings. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise by any party of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

Section 7.7 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, Cargill’s successors and permitted assigns and the MAC Trusts’ successors and permitted assigns, and no other person. No party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written approval of all other parties to this Agreement.

Section 7.8 Headings. The headings of Articles and Sections contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not part of this Agreement.

Section 7.9 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; provided, however, that the consummation of the Exchange Closing is not severable from the Split-off, the Initial Debt Exchange and the First Formation Offering and the consummation of the Split-off is not severable from the Exchange Closing, the Initial Debt Exchange and the First Formation Offering. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

41


Section 7.10 Arm’s Length Transactions. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been negotiated and entered into by the parties on an arms-length basis, and Cargill and the MAC Trusts expressly acknowledge and agree that Cargill and the MAC Trusts did not act, or have not acted in any capacity as, an advisor to any of the other parties to this Agreement in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Section 7.11 No Presumption. Cargill and the MAC Trusts each acknowledge that the parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 7.12 Specific Performance; Legal Expenses.

(a) The MAC Trusts agree that Cargill would suffer irreparable damage if any covenant or obligation of any of the MAC Trusts under this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof. Accordingly, each of the MAC Trusts agrees that Cargill shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent a breach or non-performance by such MAC Trust of its obligations under this Agreement, and the MAC Trusts shall not object to the granting of specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or other equitable relief on the basis that there exists an adequate remedy at law, and each of the MAC Trusts further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Cargill is entitled at Law or in equity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, if, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a court shall require that Cargill prove that it is entitled to specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent a breach or non-performance of this Agreement by any MAC Trust, Cargill’s entitlement to such specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief shall be governed by the preponderance of the evidence standard (and not the clear and convincing evidence or any other higher standard) for the burden of persuasion with respect to Cargill’s entitlement to such relief.

(b) Cargill agrees the MAC Trusts would suffer irreparable damage if any covenant or obligation of Cargill to the MAC Trusts under Section 7.5 of the Merger and Distribution Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms thereof. Accordingly, Cargill agrees that the MAC Trusts shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent a breach or non-performance by Cargill of its obligations to the MAC Trusts under Section 7.5 of the Merger and Distribution Agreement, and Cargill shall not object to the granting of specific performance or other equitable relief to enforce the terms and provisions of Section 7.5 of the Merger and Distribution Agreement against Cargill on the basis that there exists an adequate remedy at law, and the MAC Trusts further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief. If, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a court shall require that any of the MAC Trusts prove that it is entitled to specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent a breach or non-performance by Cargill of Section 7.5 of the Merger and Distribution Agreement, the MAC Trusts’ entitlement to such specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief shall be governed by the preponderance of the evidence

 

42


standard (and not the clear and convincing evidence or any other higher standard) for the burden of persuasion with respect to the MAC Trusts’ entitlement to such relief. Except as set forth in this Section 7.12(b), the MAC Trusts shall not be entitled to specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement or the Merger and Distribution Agreement by Cargill or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Merger and Distribution Agreement.

(c) Each party agrees and acknowledges that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the prevailing party in any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party or parties all court costs, counsel fees, and other costs or expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such action, including in enforcing this Section 7.12 and proving the amounts to which the prevailing party is entitled pursuant hereto.

The Trust may directly or indirectly acquire M Holdings Securities if and only if (i) such acquisition is pursuant to an existing estate plan the provisions of which were put in place without regard to, and not in anticipation or contemplation of, the Split-off and would have been made at approximately the same time and in a similar form regardless of the Split-off, (ii) the contemplated acquisition is first disclosed in writing to Cargill, (iii) Cargill provides prior written approval of the acquisition and (iv) the Trust has executed a written acknowledgment that such M Holdings Securities shall be bound by the restrictions and obligations set forth in this Agreement, including Section 4.3 and Section 4.7. For the avoidance of doubt, until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Trust will not directly or indirectly acquire any M Holdings Securities other than with Cargill’s prior written consent other than through an investment in a Qualifying Investment Fund.

(c) Trust Instrument. Until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, no changes will be made to the terms of the Trust’s governing instrument (other than to change the name of the Trust for privacy reasons) unless (i) such change is first disclosed in writing to Cargill and (ii) Cargill provides prior written approval of the change.

If the Trust owned more than one percent (1%) of Cargill prior to the Split-off or are otherwise subject to Treasury Regulation Section 1.355-5(b), the Trust will file the statement required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.355-5(b) (a form of which will be provided by Cargill) on or with its federal income tax return for the year in which the Split-off occurs.

Section 4.6 Recordkeeping. The Trust will retain documentation in support of the representations in this Agreement and evidence of compliance with the covenants in this Agreement for a period of eight (8) years following the Closing Date.

Section 4.7 Tax Indemnity.

(a) The Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless Cargill and its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives (the “Cargill Indemnified Parties”) solely out of the assets of the Trust and up to a maximum amount equal to the Aggregate Exchange Value for any and all Tax Losses suffered by any or all of the Cargill Indemnified Parties attributable to, arising out of or resulting from (i) the Split-off failing to qualify under Section 355(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (ii) any failure of any M Holdings Stock to qualify as “qualified property” within the meaning of Section 355(c)(2) of the Code, Section 361(c)(2) of the Code, or Section 361(c)(3) of the Code, (iii) the Debt Exchanges failing to qualify under Section 361(c) of the Code, (iv) the Merger failing to constitute a tax-free exchange to Cargill and (v) the Merger together with the Split-off failing to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code, if any such event is or was, in whole or in part, attributable to, arises out of or results from (x) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty in Sections 3.1 or 3.2 of this Agreement or in the certificate to be provided by the Trust pursuant to Section 4.4 of this Agreement or (y) any breach or failure to comply with, or any action inconsistent with, any of its covenants and obligations hereunder, including Article IV of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Cargill may seek indemnification for any Tax Loss suffered by any or all of the Cargill Indemnified Parties by giving notice to the Trust, specifying (x) the representation, warranty, or covenant that is alleged to have been inaccurate, to have been breached or to have given rise to indemnification, (y) the basis for such allegation and a description of the Tax Loss and (z) if known, the aggregate amount of the Tax Losses for which a claim is being made under this Section 4.7 including a detailed computation of such Tax Loss or, to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Tax Losses are not known at the time such claim is made, a detailed computation setting forth an estimate, prepared in good faith, of the aggregate potential amount of such Tax Losses (it being understood and agreed that no inaccuracy in any such estimate shall affect Cargill’s right to indemnification for Tax Losses hereunder). Notice to the Trust of the existence of a claim shall be given by Cargill as soon as practicable after Cargill receives written notice of the claim; provided that any failure to provide such prompt notice of the existence of a claim to the Trust shall not affect Cargill’s right to seek indemnification. With respect to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed in connection with or as a result of any audit, examination, claim, adjustment or other proceeding (a “Tax Controversy”) relating to the Transactions, Cargill shall have the right, through tax counsel of its choosing and at its

 

19


own expense, to conduct and control the settlement or defense of such Tax Controversy; provided, however, that if an adverse resolution of the Tax Controversy could result in the Trust having an obligation to indemnify Cargill under this Agreement, the Trust shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Controversy, at its own expense.

(ii) The Trust shall be required to pay Cargill solely out of the assets of the Trust and up to a maximum amount equal to the Aggregate Exchange Value any amount due with respect to a claim of indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.7(b) promptly upon the first to occur of: (x) a final determination under Section 1313 of the Code having been reached with respect to the matter that gave rise to such claim for indemnification; or (y) the Trust and Cargill entering into a mutual agreement with respect to the total amount that is due from the Trust with respect to such claim for indemnification; provided, however, to the extent a different tendering stockholder (other than the MAC Trusts) provided different representations, covenants and indemnities than contained herein, the amount of any indemnification obligation owed by the Trust, hereunder to a Cargill Indemnified Party shall be adjusted, if lower, to an amount as if such different representation, covenant or indemnity were contained herein; provided, further, the foregoing adjustment shall not apply if such difference in the representations, covenants or indemnities is because of differences in factual matters as between the Trust and the Trustees, in their capacity as trustees for the Trust, on one hand, and such other stockholder on the other. To the extent the Trust makes an indemnification payment to Cargill pursuant to this Section 4.7, and (i) Cargill actually receives a corresponding income Tax benefit (calculated at the Assumed Combined Tax Rate) in a subsequent taxable period that was not taken into account in the computation of such indemnification amount, then Cargill shall reimburse the Trust for the amount of such Tax benefit that was not taken into account, but not in excess of any indemnification payment made by the Trust hereunder, and (ii) Cargill does not actually receive the corresponding income Tax benefit calculated at the Assumed Combined Tax Rate that was taken into account in the computation of such indemnification amount, then the Trust shall make an additional payment to Cargill equal to the amount of such Tax benefit that was taken into account.

(c) These indemnification obligations and the remedies provided in this Section 4.7 shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by Cargill of any and all other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies; provided that the Cargill Indemnified Parties may not recover more than once for any Tax Loss incurred by any or all of the Cargill Indemnified Parties and in no event shall the Cargill Indemnified Parties (individual or in the aggregate) be entitled to recover other than out of the assets of the Trust and, then, only up to a maximum amount equal to the Aggregate Exchange Value.

Section 4.8 Other Actions.

(a) The Trust shall, upon request and subject to reasonable confidentiality undertakings, furnish Cargill and Mosaic with such true, correct and complete information concerning (i) the Trust, the Trustees, in their capacity as trustees for the Trust, and the Trust’s beneficiaries, (ii) the Trust’s Subsidiaries, equity owners, directors and officers, if any, and (iii) such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any statement, filing, notice, petition or application made by or on behalf of Cargill, M Holdings, Mosaic or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity or third party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

 

20


(b) If the Board of Directors of Cargill proposes an amendment to Cargill’s certificate of incorporation to designate Cargill a “Permitted Transferee” for purposes of Article IV, Section 10 thereof in connection with the Exchange and Split-off and a related amendment to Paragraph D of Article IV, Section 10 thereof to permit the Exchange and Split-off, the Trust shall cause each of the shares of Cargill Common Stock over which the Trust has voting control to be voted, or shall cause a consent in respect of each of such shares to be executed, as applicable, in favor of such amendments (the “Permitted Transferee Amendment”).

(c) No public release, announcement, comment or other public disclosure concerning the Transactions shall be issued by the Trust or on behalf of the Trust without the prior written consent of Cargill, except for any disclosure that is required to be made by the Trust pursuant to Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act, in which case the Trust shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow Cargill reasonable time to comment on such disclosure in advance of such issuance and shall consider and address in good faith the views and comments made by Cargill regarding any such disclosure.

(d) The terms on which stockholders of Cargill (other than the Trust) shall exchange shares of Cargill Common Stock with Cargill for M Holdings Stock pursuant to the Offer shall be not materially more favorable to such stockholders than the terms upon which the Trust exchanges its Subject Shares for Exchange Shares; provided, that the terms contained in the MAC Trusts Exchange Agreement, shall not constitute a failure of the condition set forth in this Section 4.8(d) or be considered in determining whether any such failure has occurred or will occur.

(c) The Trust agrees and acknowledges that (i) Cargill is entering into the Merger and Distribution Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in reliance upon the Trust’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, (ii) the failure of the Trust to validly tender the Subject Shares into the Offer could result in Cargill being required under the Merger and Distribution Agreement to pay a termination fee to (and reimburse certain fees and expenses incurred by) Mosaic and other persons, and (iii) in the event the Trust does not validly tender the Subject Shares into the Offer in accordance with the terms hereof in breach of this Agreement and such failure by the Trust prevents consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger and Distribution Agreement, in addition to all other remedies to which Cargill is entitled to at law or in equity, Cargill shall be entitled to seek damages from the Trust in an amount not to exceed any termination fee and reimbursement of fees and expenses of Mosaic or any other Person that Cargill paid or is obligated to pay under the Merger and Distribution Agreement.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MOSAIC AND CARGILL AGREE TO SPLIT-OFF AND ORDERLY

DISTRIBUTION OF CARGILL STAKE IN MOSAIC

Transaction to improve Mosaic’s strategic and financial flexibility, increase liquidity of stock

PLYMOUTH & MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Jan. 18, 2011– The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS), one of the world’s leading providers of crop nutrients and feed ingredients for the global agriculture industry, and Cargill, a privately held international producer and marketer of food, agriculture, financial and industrial products and services, today jointly announced a transaction that would result in the distribution of Cargill’s 64 percent stake, or 286 million share position, in Mosaic to Cargill’s shareholders and debt holders.

The transaction will enable Cargill to accomplish several important objectives, including maintaining its status as a private company while meeting the diversification and distribution needs of the charitable trusts and foundation (collectively the “Charitable Trusts”) formed through the estate planning of Margaret A. Cargill, one of Cargill’s largest shareholders, who died in 2006. The transaction also will enhance Cargill’s credit profile and ensure that the company’s financial results, compensation plans and management focus are fully aligned with the performance of the businesses Cargill directly manages.

The transaction is expected to benefit Mosaic by improving its long-term strategic and financial flexibility, as well as greatly increasing the liquidity of Mosaic’s common stock. As a result of the transaction, there will be no change to Mosaic’s total outstanding shares, the economic rights of the Mosaic shares or earnings per share. The transaction also is not expected to have any impact on Mosaic’s underlying financial performance or current business operations.

In carrying out the transaction, Cargill plans to exchange approximately 179 million of its 286 million Mosaic shares with Cargill shareholders, including the Charitable Trusts, for all or a portion of their Cargill stock. Cargill expects to exchange all of its remaining 107 million Mosaic shares for Cargill debt owned by third parties. Pursuant to a ruling from

 

1


the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, the transaction is expected to be tax free to Cargill, Mosaic and their respective shareholders. Mosaic, Cargill and the Charitable Trusts have entered into a series of agreements to effect the transaction, including terms intended to provide for an orderly disposition of the Mosaic shares. The transaction is expected to close in the second calendar quarter of 2011.

Jim Prokopanko, Mosaic’s president and chief executive officer, said, “This transaction will bring significant benefits to our company and shareholders. Going forward, we will be better positioned to capitalize on the positive outlook for our industry, retain our market leading positions and reinforce our existing competitive advantages. Importantly, there will be no adverse impact to our earnings potential, strong balance sheet or ability to generate cash.”

Greg Page, Cargill’s chairman and chief executive officer, said, “The transaction will accomplish a number of important business objectives for both Cargill and Mosaic and is in the best interests of both companies. Mosaic has been a landmark investment for Cargill. We are proud of what Mosaic and its employees have accomplished and remain confident in the company and its future. We look forward to continuing our commercial relationship with Mosaic, which strengthens Cargill’s ability to deliver high-value solutions to our farm customers around the world.”

Mosaic’s board of directors formed a Special Committee consisting solely of independent directors to evaluate and negotiate the transaction. Upon the Special Committee’s recommendation, Mosaic’s board of directors has approved the transaction. The transaction is subject to approval by holders of a majority of Mosaic’s shares held by non-Cargill shareholders. Cargill’s board of directors also has approved the transaction. Cargill retains the right to terminate the transaction subject to payment of a termination fee to Mosaic’s minority shareholders under certain circumstances.

Transaction terms

The transaction involves a recapitalization of Mosaic’s stock and contains terms intended to provide for an orderly disposition of Cargill’s 286 million shares in Mosaic.

Recapitalization

Pursuant to the transaction agreements, all of Mosaic’s shares will be recapitalized into three classes of stock: Common Stock, Class A Stock and Class B Stock, all of which will have the same economic rights. The Common Stock and Class A Stock will have one vote per share on all matters, whereas the Class B Stock will have the right to cast 10 votes per share solely for the election of directors. The Class A Stock and the Class B Stock will be subject to transferability restrictions and will not be publicly traded. The Common Stock, which will continue to trade under the ticker symbol MOS, will not be subject to restrictions on transferability.

 

2


All Mosaic shareholders, not including Cargill, will receive one share of Common Stock, representing the same economic value as their current share of Mosaic common stock. Cargill’s 286 million shares of common stock are expected to be recapitalized into approximately 115 million shares of Common Stock, 60 million shares of Class A Stock and 111 million shares of Class B Stock. Exact share counts will be determined upon completion of the transaction.

Split-off

In connection with the transaction agreements, Cargill will conduct an exchange offer in which it will offer Cargill shareholders the opportunity to exchange all or a portion of their Cargill shares for approximately 179 million Mosaic shares currently held by Cargill. In addition, Cargill expects to exchange approximately 107 million shares of its Mosaic Common Stock with its debt holders for outstanding Cargill debt. The Charitable Trusts, which are large shareholders of Cargill, have agreed to exchange all of their Cargill shares for Mosaic shares in the split-off.

Upon completion of the split-off, Mosaic shares held by the Charitable Trusts and Cargill stockholders participating in the exchange will represent approximately 40 percent of Mosaic’s total outstanding shares and at least 81 percent of the total vote with respect to the election of Mosaic’s board of directors.

Orderly disposition of shares

Formation offerings

Under the terms of a registration agreement, Mosaic has agreed to conduct registered secondary offerings within 15 months of the closing of the split-off for the resale of approximately 157 million Mosaic shares.

 

   

The first of the offerings is to be completed immediately following the recapitalization and split-off and is expected to consist of at least half of these 157 million Mosaic shares.

 

   

During the course of these offerings, Cargill debt holders are expected to sell approximately 107 million Mosaic shares and the Charitable Trusts are expected to sell approximately 50 million Mosaic shares.

Transferability restrictions and post-formation offerings

All Mosaic shares received by the Charitable Trusts and other Cargill shareholders in the split-off and not sold in the formation offerings (approximately 129 million shares) generally may not be transferred during the first two and a half years after the closing of the split-off.

 

   

The transfer restrictions on these Mosaic shares would be released, and the shares would become transferable, in three equal annual installments beginning on the two-and-half-year anniversary of the split-off.

 

   

To facilitate an orderly disposition of these shares, pursuant to the registration agreement, Mosaic has agreed that it will register these Mosaic shares for resale in secondary offerings at the request of the

 

3


 

Charitable Trusts. These offerings could occur each year after the second anniversary of the split-off, with the first offering occurring no earlier than one year after the last formation offering described above. The Charitable Trusts and other shareholders of Cargill who received Mosaic shares in the split-off would have the ability to participate in these offerings.

Other matters

The closing of the transaction is subject to certain conditions, including: (i) approval by the majority of Mosaic’s minority shareholders; (ii) the receipt of certain regulatory approvals; (iii) no withdrawal or adverse change to the IRS ruling obtained with respect to the transaction; and (iv) other customary conditions. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to when the transaction described above will occur and it is possible that it may not occur at all.

Under the transaction terms, Mosaic would be subject to certain agreements with Cargill that will have some limitations on Mosaic’s corporate activities for two years after the split-off.

There are no changes currently contemplated with respect to Mosaic’s board of directors in connection with the transaction. Following completion of the transaction, Mosaic’s board of directors may consider submitting a proposal to a shareholder vote to convert the Class B Stock with special voting rights into regular voting stock.
