Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements and other information included in this presentation constitute "forward-looking information" or "forward-looking statements" (collectively, "FLS"). All statements in this presentation, other than those relating to historical information or current conditions, are FLS, including, but not limited to, statements as to Agrium and PotashCorp management's expectations

with respect to: the proposed combination of Agrium and PotashCorp ("Transaction") into a combined entity (“NewCo”), including NewCo's assets, cost structure, financial position, cash flow and growth prospects; nameplate capacity; future project development; the anticipated benefits and synergies of the Transaction, including strategic and integration opportunities; governance matters

relating to NewCo; the stock exchange listings of NewCo's shares; expectations regarding NewCo’s dividends; and certain combined operational, financial and other information. This presentation also contains FLS regarding the anticipated completion of the Transaction and timing thereof. The combined and/or pro forma information set forth in this presentation does not reflect what the actual financial and operational results would necessarily have been had Agrium and PotashCorp operated as a single combined entity for the periods presented, and such

information does not purport to project NewCo’s results of operations for any future period. The purpose of the financial outlook provided herein, including in respect of NewCo’s future cash flows and EBITDA, is to assist readers in understanding expected and targeted financial results, and this information may not be appropriate for other purposes.

FLS in this presentation are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Agrium and PotashCorp, including expectations and assumptions concerning: customer demand for NewCo’s products; commodity prices and interest and foreign exchange rates; planned synergies, capital efficiencies and cost-savings; applicable tax laws; future production rates; future debt

ratings; the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities; the availability and cost of labour and services; and the receipt, in a timely manner, of regulatory, shareholder and court approvals in respect of the Transaction. Although Agrium and PotashCorp believe that the expectations and assumptions on which such FLS are based are reasonable,

undue reliance should not be placed on the FLS because Agrium and PotashCorp can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct.

FLS are subject to various risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or expectations expressed in this presentation. The key risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: general global economic, market and business conditions; weather conditions including impacts from regional flooding and/or

drought conditions; crop planted area, yield and prices; the supply and demand and price levels for major products of Agrium and PotashCorp may vary from what each currently anticipates; governmental and regulatory requirements and actions by governmental authorities, including changes in government policy, government ownership requirements, changes in environmental, tax

and other laws or regulations and the interpretation thereof, and political risks, including civil unrest, actions by armed groups or conflict, regional natural gas supply restrictions as well as counterparty and sovereign risk; delays in completion of turnarounds at Agrium and PotashCorp major facilities; and other risk factors detailed from time to time in Agrium and PotashCorp

reports filed with the Canadian securities regulators and the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States. There are also risks that are inherent in the nature of the Transaction, including: failure to realize anticipated synergies or cost savings; risks regarding the integration of the two entities; incorrect assessments of the values of the other entity; and failure to obtain

any required regulatory and other approvals (or to do so in a timely manner). The anticipated timeline for completion of the Transaction may change for a number of reasons, including the inability to secure necessary regulatory, court or other approvals in the time assumed or the need for additional time to satisfy the conditions to the completion of the Transaction. As a result of

the foregoing, readers should not place undue reliance on the FLS contained in this presentation concerning the timing of the Transaction.

Agrium and PotashCorp disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any FLS in this presentation as a result of new information or future events, except as may be required under applicable U.S. federal securities laws or applicable Canadian securities legislation.

Not a Solicitation

This presentation is not intended as, and does not constitute, a solicitation of proxies or votes in connection with the requisite Agrium securityholders’ and PotashCorp securityholders’ approval of the Transaction. A joint information circular of Agrium and PotashCorp describing details of the Transaction, NewCo and other information is expected to be mailed to Agrium securityholders

and PotashCorp securityholders in connection with the respective securityholder meetings to approve the Transaction in early October 2016.

International Financial Reporting Standards

Each of Agrium and PotashCorp prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”), and financial information set forth in this presentation is presented in accordance with IFRS. IFRS differs in certain material respects from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles

and, as such, information presented herein may not be directly comparable with similar information presented by U.S. companies.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Certain financial measures in this presentation, including free cash flow (“FCF”), are not prescribed by, and do not have any standardized meaning under, IFRS. Agrium’s and PotashCorp’s method of calculation of the non-IFRS financial measures may not be directly comparable to that of other companies. Agrium and PotashCorp consider these non-IFRS financial measures to

provide useful information to investors in measuring financial performance and financial condition. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
