Descrizione dettagliata FMC Corporation è una società multinazionale statunitense che opera nei settori dell'agricoltura, dell'industria e dei materiali avanzati.

Nel dinamico panorama dei mercati obbligazionari, l'attenzione si concentra su una specifica emissione di debito il cui emittente è FMC Corporation, una rinomata azienda globale nel settore delle scienze agrarie, specializzata nello sviluppo, produzione e commercializzazione di soluzioni innovative per la protezione delle colture, inclusi insetticidi, erbicidi e fungicidi. Con una forte impronta internazionale e un impegno verso la sostenibilità nell'agricoltura, FMC Corp si posiziona come attore chiave nel fornire soluzioni che contribuiscono all'aumento della produttività agricola e alla sicurezza alimentare mondiale. La sua operatività è radicata negli Stati Uniti, paese che funge anche da giurisdizione di emissione per questo strumento finanziario, garantendo un quadro normativo stabile e trasparente. Il titolo, un'obbligazione di tipo corporate, è identificato dal codice ISIN US302491AV74 e dal codice CUSIP 302491AV7, standard internazionali che ne assicurano l'unicità e la tracciabilità nei mercati finanziari globali. L'intera emissione, denominata in Dollari Statunitensi (USD), la valuta di riserva globale, mitiga il rischio di cambio per gli investitori con una base USD, riflettendo la natura statunitense dell'emittente. Attualmente negoziato al prezzo del 100% del suo valore nominale (alla pari), questo indica che il mercato attribuisce al titolo un valore corrispondente al suo capitale iniziale, senza premio o sconto significativi al momento. L'obbligazione offre un tasso d'interesse annuale (cedola) del 4.5%, un rendimento fisso che viene corrisposto agli obbligazionisti con una frequenza semi-annuale, ovvero due volte all'anno, fornendo un flusso di cassa regolare. L'emissione totale ammonta a 500.000.000 USD, un volume considerevole che suggerisce una buona liquidità sul mercato secondario. Per gli investitori, il lotto minimo di acquisto è fissato a 2.000 USD, rendendo l'accesso a questo strumento potenzialmente disponibile a una platea più ampia di investitori, sebbene con una soglia minima che può influenzare la diversificazione del portafoglio. La scadenza del titolo è fissata al 30 settembre 2049, configurandosi come un'obbligazione a lungo termine. Questa lunga durata implica una maggiore sensibilità alle variazioni dei tassi d'interesse di mercato e richiede una prospettiva d'investimento a lungo raggio. La solidità finanziaria dell'emittente è ulteriormente attestata dalle valutazioni di credito fornite dalle principali agenzie di rating globali: Standard & Poor's ha assegnato un rating di BBB-, mentre Moody's ha attribuito Baa2. Entrambi i rating si collocano nella categoria 'Investment Grade' (grado d'investimento), indicando che il debito di FMC Corp è considerato di qualità media o buona e presenta un rischio di insolvenza relativamente basso. Tuttavia, è importante notare che BBB- e Baa2 sono i gradini più bassi della categoria investment grade, suggerendo che, sebbene il rischio sia contenuto, esiste una certa suscettibilità a condizioni economiche avverse, un fattore che gli investitori dovrebbero considerare nella loro analisi.

424B2
effectively subordinated to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the
assets securing such indebtedness. The notes will not be guaranteed by any of our
subsidiaries and will therefore be structurally subordinated to all existing and future
indebtedness and other obligations, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries. At June 30,
2019, we had indebtedness of approximately $2,978.1 million that would rank equally with
the notes, we had no material secured indebtedness outstanding and our subsidiaries had
$260.4 million of indebtedness (not including trade payables).

Optional Redemption
We may redeem the 2026 Notes at our option, at any time in whole or from time to time in
part, before August 1, 2026 (two months prior to the maturity date of the 2026 Notes) at a
redemption price equal to the greater of:


·
100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes being redeemed; and

points;


plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.

In addition, we may redeem the 2026 Notes at our option, at any time in whole or from time

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in this prospectus
supplement), we will be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to
101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
See "Description of Notes--Change of Control Triggering Event."

Covenants
The indenture under which the notes will be issued contains covenants for your benefit.
These covenants restrict our ability with certain exceptions to:


·
incur indebtedness secured by liens;

·
engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions; and

·
merge or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications, which are described
in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. For a more detailed

description, see "Description of Notes" in this prospectus supplement and "Description of
Debt Securities" in the accompanying prospectus.

Issuance of Additional Notes
We may create and issue additional debt securities having the same terms (other than the
original issuance date and, under certain circumstances, the issue price and initial interest
payment date) of the notes of any series offered hereby, so that such additional debt securities
will be consolidated with the notes of the applicable series, including for purposes of voting
and redemptions. See "Description of Notes--Further Issuances."

Form and Denomination
We will issue the notes of each series in the form of one or more fully registered global notes
registered in the name of the nominee of The Depository Trust Company, or DTC. Beneficial
interests in the notes will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions

S-5
Table of Contents
acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and indirect participants in DTC. Clearstream
Banking, S.A., or Clearstream and Euroclear Bank, SA/NV, or Euroclear, will hold interests
on behalf of their participants through their respective U.S. depositaries, which in turn will
hold such interests in accounts as participants of DTC. Except in the limited circumstances

described in this prospectus supplement, owners of beneficial interests in the notes will not

be entitled to have notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive
notes in definitive form and will not be considered holders of notes under the indenture. The
notes will be issued only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof.

Use of Proceeds
We intend to use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to (i) redeem or repay at
maturity all $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 5.200% Senior Notes due
December 15, 2019 (the "2019 Notes") (ii) prepay a portion of the aggregate principal
amount outstanding under the Term Loan (as defined below); (iii) repay a portion of our
outstanding commercial paper; and (iv) for general corporate purposes. See "Use of
Proceeds."

Conflicts of Interest
As mentioned under "Use of Proceeds," we expect to use a portion of the net proceeds from
this offering to prepay amounts outstanding under the Term Loan. Certain affiliates of the
underwriters are lenders under the Term Loan. In addition, certain of the underwriters or their
affiliates may receive a portion of the net proceeds of this offering to the extent that they hold
any of our 2019 Notes and the net proceeds are used to redeem such notes. Because more
than 5% of the net proceeds of this offering, not including underwriters' discounts, may be
received by affiliates of certain of the underwriters, to the extent any one underwriter,
together with its affiliates, receives more than 5% of the net proceeds, such underwriter
would be considered to have a "conflict of interest" with us in regard to this offering under
FINRA Rule 5121. Accordingly, this offering will be conducted in accordance with the
requirements of FINRA Rule 5121. No underwriter with a conflict of interest will confirm
sales to any account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the specific prior
written approval of the account holder. See "Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest) -- Conflicts
of Interest."

Risk Factors
See "Risk Factors" in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and other
information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus for a discussion of factors you should consider carefully before
deciding whether to invest in the notes.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below as well as any cautionary language or other information contained or
incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the risks described under the heading "Risk Factors"
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, before deciding whether to invest in the notes. The risks described therein or
set forth below are those that we consider to be the most significant to your decision whether to invest in the notes. If any of the events described below
occurs, the value of your investment in the notes could decline, and in some cases we may not be able to make payments on the notes, and this could result
in your losing all or part of your investment.
The notes are effectively subordinated to the existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries and to any secured indebtedness we may incur in
the future to the extent of the assets securing the same.
Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities. Our subsidiaries have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the notes. In addition, any
payment of dividends, loans, or advances by our subsidiaries could be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions. Our right to receive any assets of any
of our subsidiaries upon its bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, and therefore the right of the holders of the notes to participate in those assets, will be
effectively subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary's creditors, including trade creditors. In addition, even if we are a creditor of any of our
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/37785/000119312519249499/d787370d424b2.htm[9/19/2019 3:19:08 PM]


424B2
subsidiaries, our rights as a creditor would be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of our subsidiaries and any indebtedness of our subsidiaries
senior to that held by us. At June 30, 2019, our subsidiaries had approximately $260.4 million of indebtedness (not including trade payables).
The notes are our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The notes are not secured by any of our assets. Claims of secured lenders with respect to assets securing their
loans will be prior to any claim of the holders of the notes with respect to those assets. As of June 30, 2019, we had no material secured indebtedness
outstanding.
The indenture does not restrict the amount of additional unsecured indebtedness that we may incur.
The notes and indenture under which the notes will be issued do not place any limitation on the amount of unsecured indebtedness that may be
incurred by us. Our incurrence of additional indebtedness may have important consequences for you as a holder of the notes, including making it more
difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the notes, a loss in the market value of your notes and a risk that the credit rating of the notes is
lowered or withdrawn.
We may not have the funds necessary to finance the change of control repurchase offer required by the indenture.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined under "Description of Notes--Change of Control Triggering Event"), we
will be required to make an offer to repurchase all outstanding notes. We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient funds available to make any
required repurchases of the notes. Any failure to repurchase any tendered notes in those circumstances would constitute a default under the indenture. A
default could result in the declaration of the principal and interest on all the notes to be due and payable.
The terms of the indenture and the notes provide only limited protection against significant corporate events that could adversely impact your
investment in the notes.
While the indenture and the notes contain terms intended to provide protection to holders of notes upon the occurrence of certain events involving
significant corporate transactions and our creditworthiness, such terms are limited and may not be sufficient to protect your investment in the notes.

Table of Contents
The definition of the term "Change of Control Triggering Event" does not cover a variety of transactions (such as acquisitions by us or
recapitalizations) that could negatively affect the value of your notes. If we were to enter into a significant corporate transaction that would negatively
affect the value of the notes but would not constitute a Change of Control Triggering Event, we would not be required to offer to repurchase your notes
prior to their maturity.
Furthermore, the indenture for the notes does not:


·
require us to maintain any financial ratios or specific levels of net worth, revenues, income, cash flow or liquidity;

·
limit the ability of our unrestricted subsidiaries to service debt;

·
restrict our ability to repurchase or prepay any other of our securities or other debt;
·
restrict our ability to make investments or to repurchase or pay dividends or make other payments in respect of our common stock or other

securities ranking junior to the notes; or

·
limit our ability to sell, merge or consolidate any of our unrestricted subsidiaries.
Our credit ratings may not reflect all risks of your investment in the notes.
The credit ratings assigned to the notes are limited in scope, and do not address all material risks relating to an investment in the notes, but rather
reflect only the view of each rating agency at the time the rating is issued. An explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from such
rating agency. There can be no assurance that such credit ratings will remain in effect for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered,
suspended or withdrawn entirely by the applicable rating agencies, if, in such rating agency's judgment, circumstances so warrant. Agency credit ratings
are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security. Each agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's rating. Actual or
anticipated changes or downgrades in our credit ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are under further review for a downgrade, could
affect the market value of the notes and increase our corporate borrowing costs.
There may not be a public market for the notes.
The notes of each series constitute a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We do not intend to list the notes on any securities
exchange or to include the notes in any automated quotation system. While the underwriters of the notes have advised us that they intend to make a market
in the notes of each series, the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may stop their market-making at any time. Accordingly, no market for the

notes of any series may develop, and any market that develops may not last. If the notes of a series are traded, they may trade at a discount from their
offering price, depending on prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, our performance and other factors. To the extent that an active
trading market does not develop, you may not be able to resell your notes of a series at the price you paid or at all.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We expect that we will receive approximately $1,485,485,000 in net proceeds from this offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and
offering expenses payable by us. We intend to use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to (i) redeem or repay at maturity all of our 2019 Notes;

borrower, the other borrowers party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Term Loan"); (iii) repay a portion of
our outstanding commercial paper; and (iv) for general corporate purposes. Prior to the application of any proceeds from this offering, we expect to invest
the proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing investments. See "Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest) -- Conflicts of Interest"
At June 30, 2019, the outstanding principal amount under the Term Loan was $1.4 billion, with an interest rate of 3.7% and a maturity date of
November 1, 2022.
At June 30, 2019, the outstanding amount of short-term borrowings under our commercial paper program was $535.8 million, with a weighted

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
Each series of the notes offered hereby will constitute a new series of debt securities to be issued under the indenture dated November 15, 2009, by
and between FMC Corporation and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. A form of the indenture is incorporated by reference into the registration
statement of which the accompanying prospectus is a part. The terms of the indenture are more fully described in the accompanying prospectus. The
following description is only a summary of the material provisions of the notes and the indenture. You should read the documents in their entirety because
they, and not this description, define your rights as a holder of notes. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to "we" and the "Company" in
this "Description of Notes" section include only FMC Corporation and not its subsidiaries.
General
The notes will be issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000,000, consisting of $500 million of our 2026 Notes, $500 million of
our 2029 Notes and $500 million of our 2049 Notes. The 2026 Notes will mature on October 1, 2026. The 2029 Notes will mature on October 1, 2029. The
2049 Notes will mature on October 1, 2049. The notes of each series will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons in minimum
denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The notes will not be entitled to any sinking fund.
Interest on each series of the notes will accrue at the respective rates per annum shown on the cover of this prospectus supplement from September
20, 2019, or from the most recent date from which interest has been paid or provided for. Interest will be payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1
of each year, beginning on April 1, 2020, to the persons in whose names the notes are registered in the security register at the close of business on the
March 15 or September 15 preceding the relevant interest payment date (whether or not such date is a business day), except that interest payable at maturity
will be paid to the same persons to whom principal of the notes is payable. If any interest payment date would otherwise be a day that is not a business day,
that interest payment date will be postponed to the next date that is a business day. If the maturity date of the notes falls on a day that is not a business day,
the related payment of principal and interest will be made on the next business day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest
will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such date to the next business day. Interest will be computed on the notes on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
Further Issuances
The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue. We may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the
registered holders of the notes, create and issue additional debt securities having the same terms (other than the original issuance date and, under certain
circumstances, the issue price and initial interest payment date) as the notes of any series being issued in this offering and any such additional debt securities
shall be consolidated and form a single series with the notes of the applicable series being issued in this offering, including for purposes of voting and
redemptions. No such additional debt securities may be issued if an "event of default" (as such term is defined in the accompanying prospectus) has
occurred and is continuing with respect to the notes being issued in this offering.
Ranking
The notes will be our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank equally with all our existing and future unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness. The notes will be effectively subordinated to any of our future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets
securing such indebtedness. At June 30, 2019, we had indebtedness of approximately $2,978.1 million that would rank equally with the notes.
