DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CF) today announced that its Board of Directors has terminated the tax benefits preservation plan (the Plan) that it adopted on September 6, 2016. The Plan was designed to preserve the companys ability to utilize its net operating losses and certain other tax assets that were primarily related to accelerated tax depreciation of the companys capacity expansion projects, which were placed in service in 2016. The Plan was originally scheduled to expire on September 5, 2017. <\/p>\n
In June, CF announced that it had received federal tax refunds of approximately $815 million due to the carryback of certain federal tax losses from the 2016 tax year to prior periods. The receipt of the federal tax refunds was earlier than CFs previously stated expectations for the third quarter of 2017. <\/p>\n
Stockholders were well-served by the tax benefits preservation plan as it protected the companys ability to utilize its tax losses and receive $815 million in federal tax refunds, said Stephen A. Furbacher, chairman of the board, CF Industries Holdings, Inc. With the earlier-than-expected receipt of these tax refunds, the Plan has served its intended purpose and the Board believes that it is in the best interests of the company and its stockholders to terminate the Plan at this time. <\/p>\n
