Item 1.04.
Mine Safety - Reporting of Shutdowns and Patterns of Violations.

On October 4, 2016, Mosaic Fertilizer, LLC (“Mosaic Fertilizer”), a subsidiary of The Mosaic Company, was issued an imminent danger order by the U.S. Department of Labor, Mine Safety and Health Administration, under section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, to stop certain activities that Mosaic Fertilizer was allegedly conducting at its Four Corners mine in Bradley, Florida:  a mechanic who had accessed the top of a pit car to obtain measurements for metal to install barriers at openings between the fixed access ladder and the hand rail system on top of the pit car was not using fall protection gear and was in danger of falling approximately 12 feet to the ground.  The mechanic allegedly had a safety harness and line available for use but was not wearing the harness.  The mechanic was removed from the top of the pit car.  No one was injured as a result of the incident.
