We are permitted, under a multijurisdictional
disclosure system (“MJDS”) adopted by the United States and Canada,
to prepare this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements.
Prospective purchasers should be aware that such requirements are
different from those of the United States. We have prepared our
financial statements that are incorporated by reference in the
accompanying prospectus in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (“IFRS”), and such financial statements are subject
to the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). As a result, our financial
statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of
U.S. companies.
Owning the Notes may subject you to tax
consequences both in the United States and in Canada. This
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may not
describe these tax consequences fully. You should read the tax
discussion under “Certain Income Tax
Considerations” in this prospectus supplement, and
consult with your tax advisor.
Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under
U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact
that we are incorporated under the laws of Canada, most of our
officers and directors and most of the experts named in this
prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the
documents incorporated by reference therein are residents of
Canada, and all or a substantial portion of their assets, and a
substantial portion of our assets, are located outside the United
States.
NEITHER THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION (THE “SEC”) NOR ANY STATE OR PROVINCIAL SECURITIES
COMMISSION OR SIMILAR AUTHORITY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THESE
SECURITIES, OR PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THIS
PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT OR THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS. ANY
REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.
We will not apply to list the Notes on any
securities exchange or to include them in any automated quotation
system. Accordingly, there are no established trading markets
through which the Notes may be sold and purchasers may not be able
to resell the Notes purchased hereunder. This may affect the
pricing of the Notes in the secondary market, the transparency and
availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Notes and the
extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk
Factors” in this prospectus supplement.
Under applicable Canadian securities
legislation, we may be considered to be a “connected issuer” of
each of Barclays Capital Inc., CIBC World Markets Corp., Citigroup
Global Markets Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., TD Securities
(USA) LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC,
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc., Rabo
Securities USA, Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, SMBC Nikko
Securities America, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BNP
Paribas Securities Corp., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, BMO
Capital Markets Corp., BofA Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo
Securities, LLC (collectively, the “underwriters”), each of which
is a direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate of a bank or other
financial institution which is a lender to us. See
“Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest) – Relationships
Between Nutrien and Certain Underwriters” in this
prospectus supplement.
The underwriters are offering the Notes, subject to
prior sale, if, as and when issued by us and accepted by them,
subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement
(as defined herein) and subject to the approval of certain legal
matters on our behalf by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP,
Calgary, Alberta, Canada, with respect to matters of Canadian law,
and by Jones Day, Atlanta, Georgia, U.S., with respect to matters
of U.S. law, and on behalf of the underwriters by Skadden, Arps,
Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, New York, New York, U.S., with
respect to matters of U.S. law. The underwriters reserve the right
to withdraw, cancel or modify orders to the public and reject
orders in whole or in part. See “Underwriting (Conflicts of
Interest)” in this prospectus supplement.
In connection with and in order to facilitate the
offering of the Notes, the underwriters are permitted to engage in
transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the
market price of the Notes. The underwriters are not required to
engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at
any time. The underwriters have advised us that they propose to
initially offer the Notes to the public at the public offering
prices set forth on this cover page. After the initial public
offering of the Notes, the underwriters may reduce the public
offering price of any series from time to time in order to sell any
of the Notes remaining unsold. Thus, the prices paid for the Notes
may vary from purchaser to purchaser and may vary during the period
of distribution. The compensation realized by the underwriters will
be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by
purchasers of the Notes is less than the gross proceeds paid to us
by the underwriters. See “Underwriting (Conflicts of
Interest)” in this prospectus supplement.
Our registered head office is located at Suite 500,
122 – 1st Avenue South, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada S7K 7G3. We
