Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

The following information is being “furnished” in accordance with General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing:

In connection with The Mosaic Company’s (“Mosaic”) previously reported share repurchase agreement (the “Share Repurchase Agreement”) with the Margaret A. Cargill Foundation (the “MACF”) and the Anne Ray Charitable Trust (the “ARCT” and, collectively with the MACF, the “MAC Trusts”) to purchase all of the Mosaic Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), held by the MAC Trusts through a series of eight purchases, under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, until all the MAC Trusts shares of Class A Common Stock have been repurchased, calculation of Mosaic’s earnings per share (“EPS”) will involve application of the “two-class method” whereby:

 

  •   the outstanding shares of Mosaic’s stock, par value $.01 per share (“Outstanding Stock”), will be reduced by the number of shares of the MAC Trusts’ Class A Common Stock in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share (the denominator of the EPS calculation) effective on the date of the Share Repurchase Agreement, December 6, 2013.

 

  •   A proportionate share of Mosaic’s net earnings will be allocated to the MAC Trusts’ Class A Common Stock, and that amount will be deducted in computing net earnings available to common stockholders (the numerator of the EPS calculation).
