The Mosaic Company (MOS - Free Report) recently announced the pricing of the earlier declared underwritten secondary offering by Vale S.A. and its affiliate of 34,176,574 shares of common stock of Mosaic.
The total net proceeds to the selling stockholder before expenses were roughly $1.26 billion. The 34,176,574 shares represent all of the shares of common stock of Mosaic owned by the selling stockholder, and none being sold by Mosaic. The selling shareholder will get all of the proceeds from this offering. The offering is likely to close on Nov 9, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
Mosaic also noted that it has agreed to repurchase from the underwriter, 8,544,144 shares of common stock, or 25% out of the 34,176,574 shares of common stock that are the subject of the offering. These will be repurchased at a price per share equal to the price at which the underwriter will purchase the shares from the selling stockholder in the offering.
The completion of the share repurchase is conditioned on, and expected to occur simultaneously with, the closing of the offering, subject to the satisfaction of other customary conditions. The offering is not conditioned upon the closing of the share buyback.
Shares of Mosaic have gained 114.1% in the past year compared with a 61.2% surge of the industry.

Mosaic expects upward pricing momentum to continue, with about 90% of fourth-quarter sales committed and priced, and some commitments are as far as the second quarter of 2022 being requested by certain customers.
