Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On January 5, 2005, The Mosaic Company (“Mosaic”) announced that Mosaic Global Holdings Inc. (formerly IMC Global Inc.) (“IMC”) and Phosphate Acquisition Partners L.P., the successor to Phosphate Resource Partners Limited Partnership (“PLP”), both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Mosaic, had received and accepted the required consents from the holders of all series of their outstanding public debt securities (the “Securities”), totaling approximately $1.8 billion in outstanding principal amount, pursuant to a previously announced solicitation of consents from such holders (the “Consent Solicitation”) to certain proposed amendments (the “Amendments”) to the terms of the Securities. Upon acceptance by IMC and PLP of such consents, the Amendments to the terms of each series of the Securities became operative and Mosaic and two of its subsidiaries issued certain guarantees (the “Guarantees”) to all holders of each series of the Securities.

 

On January 4, 2005, IMC and PLP executed supplemental indentures setting forth the Amendments with respect to each series of the Securities other than IMC’s 7.625% Notes due 2005 (the “7.625% Notes”) and on January 5, 2005, IMC executed a supplemental indenture setting forth the Amendments with respect to the 7.625% Notes.

 

A copy of the press release, dated January 5, 2005, describing these events is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

In connection with the completion of the Consent Solicitation and the issuance of the Guarantees, IMC and PLP intend to discontinue filing separate periodic reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in reliance on Rule 12h-5 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
