Combination of organic growth and acquisition of complementary / adjacent technologies Executing Operational Excellence programs to enhance cost leadership
![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0001193125-10-272746/g12425449.jpg)
Exiting Phosphates
Key Drivers
Unsustainable competitive position
Change in environmental regulation prohibits gypsum disposal
Raw material volatility, cost disadvantage, regional oversupply Fully pursued opportunities to attractively restructure/partner/divest
Actions
Approved closure of Huelva, Spain phosphates facility effective Dec 31, 2010 Plant decommissioning, dismantlement and environmental remediation to be completed in 2011/2012
Financial Impact
Modest 2011 EBIT impact; phosphates near break-even in 2010 Action avoids future projected losses driven by change in environmental regulation Estimated one-time charges of $100—$110M, including cash charges of $60—$70M for closure, environmental and severance related costs
Going forward, Foret will be a focused silicates / zeolites business with significant growth potential
