Item 1

Immediate Report – Agrium and PotashCorp Provide Update for Proposed Merger of Equals

The Company hereby reports that Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. ("PotashCorp.") issued a press release today regarding its proposed merger with Agrium Inc. According to this press release, the two companies have been informed that the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) in China and, independently, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) intend to condition their respective approvals of the proposed transaction on the divestment of certain of PotashCorp’s offshore minority ownership interests.

PotashCorp holds approximately 13% of the Company’s share capital, and therefore PotashCorp’s press release may also pertain to its holdings in the Company.

The Company is not party to the proposed merger with Agrium and has no independent information about the transaction. The Company takes no responsibility and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of the information set forth therein.
