Exhibit 99.4
NEW PARENT UNAUDITEDPRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In connection with a proposed plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under theCanada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”) involving, among others, Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (“PotashCorp”), the holders (“PotashCorp Shareholders”) of PotashCorp common shares (“PotashCorp Shares”), Agrium Inc. (“Agrium”), the holders (“Agrium Shareholders”) of Agrium common shares (“Agrium Shares”), and a newly-incorporated parent entity to be formed to manage and hold the combined businesses of PotashCorp and Agrium (“New Parent”), the following unauditedpro forma condensed combined financial information, referred to herein as thepro forma financial information, presents the effect of the Arrangement on the combined historical financial statements of PotashCorp and Agrium.
PotashCorp and Agrium entered into an arrangement agreement dated September 11, 2016 (the “Arrangement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement and the accompanying plan of arrangement, New Parent will, directly and indirectly, acquire all of the issued and outstanding PotashCorp Shares and all of the issued and outstanding Agrium Shares. Pursuant to the Arrangement, PotashCorp Shareholders will receive 0.40 of a common share in the capital of New Parent (each one share, a “New Parent Share”) for each PotashCorp Share held (the “PotashCorp Exchange Ratio”) and Agrium Shareholders will receive 2.23 New Parent Shares for each Agrium Share held (the “Agrium Exchange Ratio”). Immediately following completion of the Arrangement, former PotashCorp Shareholders are anticipated to own approximately 52% of the issued and outstanding New Parent Shares and former Agrium Shareholders are anticipated to own approximately 48% of the issued and outstanding New Parent Shares. The Arrangement was approved by the PotashCorp Shareholders and by the Agrium Shareholders and the holders of Agrium voting stock options (collectively with the Agrium Shareholders, the “Agrium Securityholders”), voting as a single class, on November 3, 2016 and by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on November 7, 2016. The Arrangement is currently anticipated to be completed in mid-2017, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. Following the completion of the Arrangement, PotashCorp and Agrium will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Parent and New Parent will continue the operations of PotashCorp and Agrium on a combined basis.
Thepro forma financial information below givespro forma effect to the Arrangement by applyingpro forma adjustments described herein to PotashCorp’s and Agrium’s historical consolidated financial statements. Thepro forma financial information has been derived from the respective historical consolidated financial statements of PotashCorp and Agrium, along with certain adjustments and assumptions made to give effect to the Arrangement. Adjustments were made only to conform Agrium’s financial statement amounts to PotashCorp’s accounting policies and to adjust for thosepro forma events that are (a) directly attributable to the Arrangement, (b) expected to have a continuing impact on New Parent and (c) factually supportable. Thepro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that management of PotashCorp believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
Thepro forma financial information presents the combined effect on the historical statements and provides the following resulting information:
| | | | |
Historical Information of PotashCorp and Agrium | | Historical Dates and Giving Effect | | Resulting Information |
Consolidated statements of financial position | | As at September 30, 2016 | | Unauditedpro forma condensed combined statement of financial position, referred to as thepro forma statement of financial position |
Consolidated statements of income | | For the year ended December 31, 2015; and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 | | Unauditedpro forma condensed combined statements of income, referred to as thepro forma statements of income |
Thepro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not include, among other things, estimated cost synergies, adjustments related to restructuring or integration activities, other acquisitions or disposals not yet known or probable, or impacts of Arrangement-related change in control provisions that are currently not factually supportable and/or probable of occurring. Therefore, thepro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the New Parent’s actual financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Arrangement been completed on the date indicated, nor does it purport to project New Parent’s future financial position or results of operations for any future period or as at any future dates. Accordingly, the combined business, assets, results of operations and financial condition may differ significantly from those indicated.
Additionally, New Parent’s tax rate may differ from PotashCorp’s historical tax rate and any change in the deferred tax as a result of the transaction will be reflected in the statement of income at the completion date. The following unauditedpro forma condensed combined financial information does not include the impact of such changes on PotashCorp’s existing deferred tax assets and liabilities, as this analysis has not been completed.
Each of the equity-based awards for each of PotashCorp and Agrium, whether vested or unvested, that are outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the Arrangement will convert into a New Parent award (“Replacement Award”) as set out in the Arrangement Agreement.
While the Arrangement shall constitute a “change in control” for purposes of the applicable PotashCorp and Agrium plans, the issuance of Replacement Awards and the Arrangement itself will generally not result in accelerated payments or vesting of the original equity instruments granted unless a holder of such equity instruments is terminated without cause or resigns with good reason (each as defined in the applicable PotashCorp or Agrium plan under which the applicable equity instruments granted were originally awarded) within 24 months of the completion of the Arrangement. However, certain executives of PotashCorp and Agrium have individual employment or change in control agreements that provide for immediate vesting of outstanding stock options and/or stock appreciation rights in the event of a change in control, the costs of which are recognized in thepro forma financial information.
Allpro forma adjustments and their underlying assumptions are described more fully in the notes to thispro forma financial information. Thepro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the following:

(millions of U.S. dollars, except as otherwise noted)
Note 1 Description of the Arrangement
In connection with the proposed Arrangement, the following unauditedpro forma condensed combined financial information, referred to herein as thepro forma financial information, presents the effect of the Arrangement on the combined historical financial statements of PotashCorp and Agrium. New Parent is a corporation to be incorporated by PotashCorp and Agrium prior to completion of the Arrangement. Each of PotashCorp and Agrium will own 50% of the common shares of New Parent prior to completion of the Arrangement, which shares will be cancelled as part of the Arrangement.
PotashCorp and Agrium entered into an Arrangement Agreement dated September 11, 2016. Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement and the accompanying plan of arrangement, New Parent will, directly and indirectly, acquire all of the issued and outstanding PotashCorp Shares and all of the issued and outstanding Agrium Shares. Pursuant to the Arrangement, PotashCorp Shareholders will receive 0.40 of a New Parent Share for each PotashCorp Share held and Agrium Shareholders will receive 2.23 New Parent Shares for each Agrium Share held. Immediately following completion of the Arrangement, former PotashCorp Shareholders are anticipated to own approximately 52% of the New Parent Shares and former Agrium Shareholders are anticipated to own approximately 48% of the New Parent Shares. The Arrangement was approved by the PotashCorp Shareholders and by the Agrium Securityholders on November 3, 2016 and by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on November 7, 2016. The Arrangement is currently anticipated to be completed in mid-2017, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. Following the completion of the Arrangement, PotashCorp and Agrium will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Parent and New Parent will continue the operations of PotashCorp and Agrium on a combined basis.
Note 2 Basis of Presentation
Thepro forma financial information has been derived from the respective historical consolidated financial statements of PotashCorp and Agrium, along with certain adjustments and assumptions made to give effect to the Arrangement. Thepro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with PotashCorp’s historical financial statements and Agrium’s historical financial statements, each of which are incorporated by reference herein. Agrium’s historical financial statements have been adjusted to reclassify line items to conform to PotashCorp’s presentation. Additional reclassifications may be necessary on completion of the Arrangement. Adjustments were made only to conform Agrium’s financial statement amounts to PotashCorp’s accounting policies and to adjust for thosepro forma events that are (a) directly attributable to the Arrangement, (b) expected to have a continuing impact on the registrant and (c) factually supportable. No adjustments have been made to eliminate discontinued operations, or to recognize adjustments to either parties’ interests in their recognized assets or liabilities due to the outcome of the finalization of their processes to closing. Thepro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that management of PotashCorp believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
Thepro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only as at its respective dates and may not be an indication of the financial condition or results of operations to be expected of New Parent following the Arrangement for several reasons. The unauditedpro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from the respective historical financial statements of PotashCorp and Agrium, and certain adjustments and assumptions made as at the dates indicated therein have been made to give effect to the Arrangement. The information upon which these adjustments and assumptions have been made is preliminary and these kinds of adjustments and assumptions are difficult to make with complete accuracy. Moreover, the unauditedpro forma condensed combined financial information does not include, among other things, estimated cost or synergies, adjustments related to restructuring or integration activities, other acquisitions or disposals not yet known or probable, or impacts of Arrangement-related change in control provisions that are currently not factually supportable and/or probable of occurring. Therefore, thepro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the New Parent’s actual financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Arrangement been completed on the dates indicated, nor does it purport to project New Parent’s future financial position or results of operations for any future period or as at any future date. Accordingly, the combined business, assets, results of operations and financial condition may differ significantly from those indicated.
Additionally, New Parent’s tax rate may differ from PotashCorp’s historical tax rate and any change in the deferred tax as a result of the transaction will be reflected in the statement of income at the completion date. The following unauditedpro forma condensed combined financial information does not include the impact of such changes on PotashCorp’s existing deferred tax assets and liabilities, as this analysis has not been completed.
The Arrangement has been accounted for in thepro forma financial information using the acquisition method under International Financial Reporting Standard 3 – Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”) of the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Although both PotashCorp and Agrium have agreed to combine in a merger of equals, IFRS 3 requires that one of PotashCorp or Agrium be designated as the acquirer for accounting purposes based on the evidence available. PotashCorp will be treated as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes. In identifying PotashCorp as the acquirer for accounting purposes, the companies took into account the voting rights of all equity instruments, the intended corporate governance structure of the combined company, the intended composition of senior management of the combined company and the size of each of the companies. In assessing the size of each of the companies, the companies evaluated various metrics, including, but not limited to: market capitalization; assets; cash provided by operating activities; earnings before finance costs, taxes, depreciation and amortization; sales; gross margin; net income; employees; number of locations; and production capacity, reserves and resources. No single factor was the sole determinant in the overall conclusion that PotashCorp will be the acquirer for accounting purposes; rather all factors were considered in arriving at such conclusion.
The Arrangement consideration in thepro forma financial information is based on the closing price of PotashCorp shares on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on November 15, 2016. However, the actual purchase price will be based on the closing price of PotashCorp shares on the NYSE on the date of closing of the Arrangement. Accordingly, the purchase price and the value of identifiable assets, liabilities and goodwill ultimately recorded at the date of closing of the Arrangement could differ materially.
Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies used in the preparation of thepro forma financial information are those set out in PotashCorp’s audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2015, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB (“IFRS”).
For the purposes of thispro forma financial information, PotashCorp and Agrium completed a review of potential adjustments needed to conform Agrium’s historical financial statements to PotashCorp’s and concluded that no material adjustments were required. Upon completion of the Arrangement, New Parent will perform a further review and comparison of the accounting policies of PotashCorp and Agrium. From that review, New Parent may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the combined company.
Agrium early adopted International Financial Reporting Standard 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) on January 1, 2014, whereas PotashCorp has chosen to defer adoption of IFRS 9, and instead applies International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. On the adoption date of IFRS 9, Agrium held financial assets and liabilities which were reclassified and measured based on the classification requirements and characteristics of each financial instrument. The adoption of IFRS 9 by Agrium did not result in a material impact to Agrium’s financial statements, and after adoption differences arising between Agrium’s application of IAS 39 and IFRS 9 were not material.
Certain reclassifications were made to align the presentation of Agrium’s historical financial statements with PotashCorp’s current presentation, as set out in Note 7. The reclassifications have no impact on the historical statements of income of Agrium and accordingly no impact on thepro forma statements of income of New Parent.
Note 4Pro Forma Adjustments
(a) | Pro Forma Purchase Price and Purchase Price Allocation |
At the date of preparation of thispro forma financial information, certainpro forma adjustments have been made as identified herein; however, the fair values of Agrium’s identifiable assets and liabilities to be assumed and the full impact of applying acquisition accounting have not been fully determined. After reflecting thepro forma adjustments made herein, the excess of the purchase consideration over the adjusted book values of Agrium’s net assets has been presented as goodwill. It is expected that following closing of the Arrangement and once detailed valuations and related calculations are completed, a material portion of the amount allocated to goodwill will be attributable to property, plant and equipment, investments in equity-accounted investees, intangible assets, other assets and liabilities and related deferred income tax balances. Some property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are expected to be finite-lived and accordingly subject to amortization. The actual amount assigned to the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired will result in changes to earnings in periods subsequent to the Arrangement, and those changes could be material.

| (i) | Sales and cost of goods sold have each been adjusted to eliminate sales made by PotashCorp to Agrium of $90 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and $60 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Sales and inventories have also each been adjusted to eliminate intercompany profits of $7 and $6 included in inventories held as at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Intercompany profits included in inventories were estimated based on the gross margin of PotashCorp’s potash sales and Agrium’s inventory turnover for the respective period. |
| (ii) | The excess of the fair values of Agrium’s long-term debt over their carrying values were amortized using the effective interest method over the remaining terms of the long-term debt.

Note 6 Arrangement Consideration: Estimated Fair Value of New Parent Share-based Compensation Issued in Exchange for Agrium Share-based Compensation
As more particularly described in the Arrangement Agreement, an equity instrument granted under a share-based payment arrangement will be assumed by New Parent and exchanged for Replacement Awards as contemplated in the Arrangement Agreement, based on the PotashCorp Exchange Ratio and the Agrium Exchange Ratio. Under IFRS 3, each Replacement Award issued to former Agrium award holders is measured at fair value on the date of acquisition and the portion attributable to pre-combination service is recorded as part of the Arrangement consideration and the portion attributable to post-combination service will be recognized as share-based compensation expense over the remaining post-combination service period. As the Replacement Awards have all the same material characteristics as the exchanged equity instruments being replaced, it is not expected that there will be a material difference between the fair value of the original equity instruments granted on the completion of the arrangement and the fair value of the Replacement Awards.
