Mosaic Announces Settlement of Potash Antitrust Litigation

 The Mosaic Company

Mosaic will pay $43.75 million to settle all claims with both putative classes. Mosaic chose to settle these claims to avoid the significant costs, burden, and distraction of protracted litigation. Mosaic did not admit any wrongdoing and will be released from any liability in connection with the plaintiffs' claims. The settlement is subject to final court approval.
