Item 2.01     Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On October 3, 2016, Compass Minerals International, Inc. (“Compass Minerals”) completed the previously announced acquisition of Produquímica Indústria e Comércio S.A., a Brazilian corporation (“Produquímica”). Prior to the closing, Compass Minerals do Brasil Ltda., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Compass Minerals (“Compass Minerals Brazil”), owned 35% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Produquímica. At the closing, Compass Minerals Brazil acquired the remaining 65% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Produquímica from the shareholders of Produquímica.

At the closing, the aggregate purchase price was approximately $465 million, of which $328 million was paid in cash to the shareholders of Produquímica using borrowings under Compass Minerals’ credit facility, and $137 million represented the assumption of net debt. The purchase price was based on the estimated adjusted EBITDA of Produquímica for the 2016 fiscal year and is subject to certain customary adjustments as described in the subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), dated December 16, 2015, among Compass Minerals Brazil, certain shareholders of Produquímica and Produquímica, as amended.
