CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CF) today sent the following letter to the stockholders of Terra Industries Inc. (NYSE: TRA).

***********

Supplemental Information

On November 1, 2009, CF Industries delivered a letter to the Terra Board of Directors containing a proposal to acquire Terra for consideration per share of Terra common stock of 0.1034 of a shares of CF Industries common stock and $32.00 in cash (including the $7.50 per share of Terra common stock special cash dividend declared by Terra on October 29, 2009 and payable on December 11, 2009 to holders of record on November 23, 2009).

CF Industries has obtained committed financing of up to $2.5 billion to provide the funds required in connection with the transaction, including the refinancing of Terra’s indebtedness. The transaction is not subject to a financing condition. CF Industries’ proposal is subject to approval by the Terra Board of Directors, approval of Terra stockholders, entering into a definitive merger agreement with customary conditions and confirmatory due diligence. Unless CF Industries and Terra enter into a merger agreement by November 30, 2009, CF Industries’ financing commitment would expire. CF Industries has the right to extend the financing commitment until December 31, 2009, subject to there not having been a disruption in the financing markets. Accordingly, CF Industries reserves the right to withdraw its proposal to acquire Terra if a merger agreement is not entered into by November 30, 2009.

On November 1, 2009, Terra issued a press release confirming receipt of CF Industries’ revised proposal and stating that the Terra Board of Directors would consider the proposal in due course.
