Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) on May 17, 2017 (the “Original 8-K”). The Original 8-K was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to report the results of matters submitted to a vote by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 12, 2017 (the “Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose, in accordance with Item 5.07(d) of Form 8-K, the Company’s decision as to how frequently the Company will conduct future stockholder advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. Except as set forth herein, no other modifications have been made to the Original 8-K.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

(d) At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on, among other matters, an advisory proposal concerning the frequency of future advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. As reported in the Original 8-K, the Company’s stockholders recommended, by a non-binding advisory vote, “1 year” as the frequency of future advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. Consistent with the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company as set forth in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017 and the vote of the Company’s stockholders on this proposal at the Annual Meeting, the Company intends to hold the advisory vote regarding the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every year. The Company intends to continue holding such votes annually until the next required vote on the frequency of future advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.
