These statements are based on the company's current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the company's actual results to differ materially. he differences could be caused by a number of factors, including without limitation (i) weather conditions, (ii) foreign exchange rates and the cost and availability of transportation for the distribution of the company's products, (iii) pressure on prices and impact from competitive products, (iv) any inability by the company to successfully implement its strategic priorities or its cost-saving or enterprise optimization initiatives, (v) the risk that the company may not realize the expected financial or other benefits from the proposed development of its lithium mineral resource or its investment in Fortress North America, (vi) the timing and the outcome of the sale process for the company's South America chemicals business, and (vii) impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. For further information on these and other risks and uncertainties that may affect the company's business, see the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of the company's Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the transition period ended Sept. 30, 2021 filed with the SEC, as well as the company's other SEC filings. The company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this presentation to reflect future events or developments, except as required by law. Because it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors, this list cannot be considered a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

The company has completed an initial assessment to define the lithium resource at Compass Minerals' existing operations in accordance

with applicable SEC regulations, including Subpart 1300. Pursuant to Subpart 1300, mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not

have demonstrated economic viability. The company's mineral resource estimates, including estimates of the lithium resource, are based

on many factors, including assumptions regarding extraction rates and duration of mining operations, and the quality of in-place resources.

For example, the process technology for commercial extraction of lithium from brines with low lithium and high impurity (primarily

magnesium) is still developing. Accordingly, there is no certainty that all or any part of the lithium mineral resource identified by the

company's initial assessment will be converted into an economically extractable mineral reserve.
