OREANDA-NEWS. December 10, 2012. PhosAgro (or "the Company") (Moscow Exchange, LSE: PHOR), a leading global vertically integrated phosphate-based fertilizer producer, announces that it has terminated a market making agreement effective 1 December 2012.

The agreement to support the prices of PhosAgro’s issued securities was terminated in connection with the fact that PhosAgro shares were upgraded from the MICEX Stock Exchange’s quotation list “V” to quotation list “B”, where such an agreement is not required.

Quotation list “B” has certain liquidity and market capitalisation requirements compared to quotation list “V”. Inclusion of its shares in quotation list “B” will give PhosAgro access to a broader base of investors, including funds from the Russian Federation Deposit Insurance Agency.
