This Amendment No. 2 (this Amendment No. 2) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on September 28, 2009 (the Original Statement), as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on November 3, 2009 (the Original Statement and such amendment, together with this Amendment No. 2, are collectively referred to herein as the Statement), by CF Industries Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (CF Holdings), CF Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of CF Holdings (CF Industries), and CF Composite, Inc., a New York corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of CF Industries (CF Composite and, together with CF Holdings and CF Industries, the Reporting Persons). Except as set forth in this Amendment No. 2, all information set forth in the Statement remains unchanged and capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Statement.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end of the section entitled CF Holdings Proposals and Actions Related to a Business Combination with the Company:
On November 3, 2009, the Company issued a press release indicating that the Board had rejected CF Holdings revised proposal to acquire the Company for consideration per Company Share of 0.1034 CF Shares and $32.00 in cash (including the $7.50 per Company Share special dividend declared by the Company on October 29, 2009).
On November 13, 2009, CF Holdings delivered a letter to the Board stating CF Holdings understanding that, under Maryland law, if the Nominees are elected at the 2009 Annual Meeting, the Board could re-appoint the directors replaced by the Nominees. The letter also stated that if the Board decided to take such action in the exercise of its fiduciary duties (without disenfranchising stockholders through increasing the size of the Board beyond what would result from reappointing those directors), CF Holdings would not be in a position to object. A copy of CF Holdings letter to the Board, dated November 13, 2009, is filed as Exhibit 12 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
Item 7 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following Exhibit:
Exhibit 12 |
Letter, dated November 13, 2009, from CF Industries Holdings, Inc. to Terra Industries Inc. |
