ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS

On March 1, 2019, FMC Corporation (“FMC”) completed the previously announced distribution of 123 million shares of common stock of Livent Corporation ("Livent") as a pro rata dividend on shares of FMC common stock outstanding at the close of business on the record date of February 25, 2019. Prior to the distribution date, Livent operated as a segment of FMC ("FMC Lithium"). As a result of the completed separation of Livent from FMC, our FMC Lithium segment was classified as a discontinued operation in March 2019. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the FMC Lithium segment must be retrospectively reclassified to discontinued operations for all prior periods subsequently presented. We are issuing this Current Report on Form 8-K to retrospectively revise our historical financial information to reflect FMC Lithium as a discontinued operation.

In this Current Report on Form 8-K, we have updated financial information that appeared in FMC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 ("2018 10-K"). The updated financial information includes the following:

• Consent of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, attached as Exhibit 23.1 and incorporated herein by reference;

• 2018 Form 10-K, Part I, Item 1 - Business, Item 1A - Risk Factors and Item 2 - Properties, attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference;

• 2018 Form 10-K, Part II, Item 6 - Selected Financial Data, attached as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference;

• 2018 Form 10-K, Part II, Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, attached as Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated herein by reference;

• 2018 Form 10-K, Part II, Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, attached as Exhibit 99.4 and incorporated herein by reference.

The information included in and with this Form 8-K is presented for information purposes only in connection with the reporting changes described above for FMC. Except to the extent specifically set forth herein, this Form 8-K does not reflect events occurring after February 28, 2019, the date we filed our 2018 10-K, and does not modify or update the disclosures included in the 2018 10-K therein in any way, other than as required to reflect FMC Lithium as a discontinued operation, as described above and set forth in Exhibits 99.1 through 99.4 attached hereto. You should therefore read this information in conjunction with the 2018 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2019 and in conjunction with our June 30, 2019 Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 31, 2019.
