25 Fundamentals: Fall ’08 Summary • Underlying grain demand still growing • Corn supply/demand balance tight and getting tighter • Crop prices still strong • Farm economics still very positive • Ethanol is here to stay • New capacity is manageable • U.S. key prices still lag world markets The Fundamentals Are Still Strong

26 Outlook for 2009 Fertilizer Demand • Nitrogen - strong upside possible – Corn acreage could move above 90+ million – Nitrogen application rates on corn could rebound due to strong corn prices – High nitrogen demand on corn could be partially offset by lower demand on other crops/pasture – Fall ’08 Season (ammonia) could be strong • Phosphates – gains could be modest from record base – Could see some price resistance, particularly on acreage other than corn – Export markets have pent-up demand

27 An Optimistic Present. What About The Future?

28 • Acquisition of 50 percent of KEYTRADE, 3 million tonne per year global fertilizer trader • Markets in fertilizer in 65 nations • Acquisition provides established, extensive global platform to pursue growth and diversification • Presence in Perú and rest of Central & South America Specific Strategic Initiatives: Global Platform for Marketing & Sourcing

29 • On November 19, CF Industries won bidding for natural gas pact in Perú • Proposed facility is world-scale nitrogen complex • Markets in region include Perú, Central & South America, and Mexico • Term sheet signed in July. Technology work begun with TECHNIP. Specific Strategic Initiatives: Proposed Nitrogen Complex in Perú

30 Specific Strategic Initiatives: Gasification Project • Gasification/ammonia complex at Donaldsonville Nitrogen Complex – Reduce dependence on North American natural gas by converting substantial portion of complex to low-cost petcoke/coal blend – Increase operational flexibility – Evaluating alternative technologies and configurations

31 Positioned to Win • Worldwide demand for grain has created robust crop pricing and fertilizer demand • After a wet early spring, corn crop is in the ground – could be lower yield than expected • ’08 acreage + yield could equal strong ‘09 • CF Industries is well positioned to capitalize on today’s opportunity

APPENDIX

34 Innovative Forward Pricing Program • Locks in assured supply and price for customers – and nitrogen margins – for CF Industries • Prices and margins reflect expectations for market conditions • Our forward prices for phosphate reflect higher sulfur and ammonia costs In Q1’s Rising Natural Gas Cost Environment, We Benefited From The FPP’s Locked-In Natural Gas Costs

35 > 52% N and 41% P sold under FPP in Q1 ‘07 Challenge • Natural gas and nitrogen fertilizer prices are highly volatile Benefits • Margin certainty • Improved production scheduling • Reduced inventory risk • Enhanced liquidity • Integration with customers Solution • Customers purchase product forward • CF locks in margin by fixing natural gas costs • Substantial customer deposit > 70% N and 43% P sold under FPP in Q2 ‘07 > 53% N and 45% P sold under FPP in Q3 ‘07 > 80% N and 39% P sold under FPP in Q4 ‘07 > 75% N and 69% P sold under FPP in Q1 ‘08 Innovative Forward Pricing Program > 72% N and 72% P sold under FPP in Q2 ‘08
