This presentation contains “forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) or

“forward-looking information” (within the meaning of appropriate Canadian securities legislation) that relate to future events or our future

performance. These statements can be identified by expressions of belief, expectation or intention, as well as those statements that are not

historical fact. These statements often contain words such as “should,” “could,” “expect,” “may,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimates,”

“plans” and similar expressions. These statements are based on certain factors and assumptions as set forth in this document, including

with respect to: foreign exchange rates, expected growth, results of operations, performance, business prospects and opportunities, and

effective tax rates. While we consider these factors and assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available, they may

prove to be incorrect. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. The results or events set

forth in forward-looking statements may differ materially from actual results or events. Several factors could cause actual results or events

to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, the following: variations from our

assumptions with respect to foreign exchange rates, expected growth, results of operations, performance, business prospects and

opportunities, including our proposal to acquire K+S Aktiengesellschaft (K+S) and effective tax rates; fluctuations in supply and demand in

the fertilizer, sulfur, transportation and petrochemical markets; changes in competitive pressures, including pricing pressures; costs and

availability of transportation and distribution of our raw materials and products, including railcars and ocean freight; risks and uncertainties

related to operating and workforce changes made in response to our industry and the markets we serve; risks and uncertainties related to

our international operations and assets; failure to prevent or respond to a major safety incident; adverse or uncertain economic conditions

and changes in credit and financial markets; the results of sales contract negotiations within major markets; economic and political

uncertainty around the world; risks associated with natural gas and other hedging activities; changes in capital markets; unexpected or

adverse weather conditions; catastrophic events or malicious acts, including terrorism; changes in currency and exchange rates;

imprecision in reserve estimates; adverse developments in new and pending legal proceedings or government investigations; our

prospects to reinvest capital in strategic opportunities and acquisitions, including our proposal to acquire K+S; our ownership of non-

controlling equity interests in other companies; the impact of further technological innovation; increases in the price or reduced availability

of the raw materials that we use; security risks related to our information technology systems; strikes or other forms of work stoppage or

slowdowns; timing and impact of capital expenditures; rates of return on, and the risks associated with, our investments and capital

expenditures; changes in, and the effects of, government policies and regulations; certain complications that may arise in our mining

process, including water inflows; our ability to attract, retain, develop and engage skilled employees; risks related to reputational loss;

earnings; and the decisions of taxing authorities, which could affect our effective tax rates. These risks and uncertainties are discussed in

more detail under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results and Operations and Financial

Condition” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and in other documents and reports

subsequently filed by us with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian provincial securities commissions. Forward-

looking statements are given only as of the date hereof and we disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements

in this presentation, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
