Completion of UK joint venture between Terra Industries Inc. and Kemira GrowHow Oyj
Sioux City, Iowa (September 14, 2007)-Terra Industries Inc. (NYSE: TRA) and Kemira GrowHow
Oyj (OMX: KGH1V) are pleased to confirm the formation of a joint venture company, GrowHow UK
Limited, combining their fertilizer and associated process chemicals businesses in the United
Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. Completion of the joint venture follows confirmation from the
UK Competition Commission that it has concluded its review and approved the transaction.
The move is designed to secure a sustainable, long-term base for manufacturing fertilizer and
process chemicals in the UK. The combined business will produce ammonium nitrate, which is the main
nitrogen fertilizer consumed in the UK as well as compound fertilizers to service both the UK and
Ireland markets.
Mike Bennett, President and CEO of Terra Industries Inc. ("Terra") said, "We are pleased that the
Competition Commission has concluded its review and approved the formation of our joint venture. It
will enable us to continue to provide high quality products and services to our customers, and will
significantly expand our opportunities. By securing a long-term manufacturing base in the UK, we
are investing in the future".
Heikki Sirvio, CEO of Kemira GrowHow Oyj ("Kemira GrowHow"), said, "Our new joint venture will
position our combined UK fertilizer and process chemicals operations to achieve long-term success
by reducing overheads and allowing us to optimize our product mix. We are pleased that the
Competition Commission has approved the joint venture and would like to thank our customers and
other stakeholders for their support during the review".
GrowHow UK Limited will be owned 50/50 by Kemira GrowHow and Terra and will include Kemira
GrowHow's site at Ince, and Terra's sites on Teesside and Severnside. The annual turnover of the
operations included in the joint venture exceeded 500 million euros in 2006. Through the joint
venture, Kemira GrowHow and Terra expect to create significant cost and operational synergies to
enhance their ability to service and compete in increasingly challenging markets.
Kemira GrowHow UK Limited is the largest UK producer of compound fertilizers and Terra Nitrogen
(UK) Limited is the largest UK producer of ammonium nitrate.
Lazard is acting as financial adviser to Terra. Lehman Brothers is acting as financial adviser to
