  1. Examiner Decision Respecting Arbitration with Haifa Chemicals

 

 

 

 

Item 1

 

June 28, 2016

 

Examiner Decision Respecting Arbitration with Haifa Chemicals

 

Pursuant to Note 23 of the Company’s financial statements for 2015 and to Note 8 of the Q1 2016 quarterly report, respecting the arbitration proceeding held between the subsidiary Dead Sea Works Ltd. (“DSW”) and Haifa Chemicals Ltd., the Company wishes to report that yesterday a decision was rendered by the Examiner in regards to the potash price limit based on DSW's costs (the "Proven Price") for the years 2012 and 2013.

 

According to the Examiner's decision, the Proven Price for the years 2012 and 2013 will be $171 per tonne and $158 per tonne, respectively. The Company, assisted by its legal and economic advisors, is reviewing the decision and its implications, if any, on its financial statements for the second quarter of 2016. However, based on its contentions included as part of the legal proceeding and the chances thereof to be accepted, as detailed in the financial statements for 2015, and given the production costs in DSW as determined by the Examiner, the Company estimates that it will not incur in significant costs or receive significant amounts in respect of the past period (2009–2014). It should be noted that the previously reported legal proceeding submitted by DSW, alleging that the decision of the examiner regarding the years 2012 and 2013 deviates from the provisions of the arbitration, is still pending.
