known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may
cause actual results to be materially different from any results,

substantially influenced by the potential adverse effect of the
pandemic on FMC's customers and suppliers and the global economy
and financial markets. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts us will
depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and
cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity
and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the
pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect
economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among
others. Additional factors include, among other things, the
risk factors and other cautionary statements included within FMC's
2020 Form 10-K filed with the SEC as well as other SEC filings and
public communications. Moreover, investors are cautioned to
interpret many of these factors as being heightened as a result of
the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic.
