TAMPA, June 22, 2020 - The Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS), reports that Ma'aden Wa'ad Al Shamal Phosphate Company (MWSPC), a subsidiary of Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma'aden) in which Mosaic holds a 25 percent interest, has completed the refinancing of its project level debt.
This refinancing marks MWSPC's transition to its operational financial structure as the joint venture completes its ramp up to full capacity. This refinancing:
- Removes recourse to Mosaic by all lenders to MWSPC, and
- Defers principal paydown until June 30, 2022, enhancing expected free cash flow.
In addition, Mosaic's contractual commitment to make future cash contributions to MWSPC has now been eliminated.
