Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of
Certain Officers.
On May 5, 2026, CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (“CF Industries”
or the “Company”) announced that Andrew T. Scribner has been elected executive vice president and chief financial officer
(principal financial officer), effective May 26, 2026 (the “Effective Date”).
Mr. Scribner, 47, joins CF Industries from Kimberly-Clark Corporation,
where Mr. Scribner served as vice president, global controller and head of corporate finance planning and analysis from June 2025
to May 2026 and as chief financial officer - Kimberly-Clark North America from January 2023 to June 2025. He joined Kimberly-Clark from
the Gap, Inc., an apparel, accessories, and personal care products company operating under the Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta
brands, where he served as senior vice president, CFO, strategy and inventory management of Banana Republic from 2021 to 2023; senior
vice president, chief financial officer of Athleta from 2019 to 2021; and vice president, PMO of Gap, Inc. from 2017 to 2019. Prior to
that, Mr. Scribner spent 13 years at The Kraft Heinz Company, and its predecessor company Kraft Foods Group, in roles of increasing responsibility,
most recently as vice president and general manager, Kraft Heinz Ingredients.
Mr. Scribner has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction
required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
In connection with Mr. Scribner’s employment, he will receive
a lump sum cash sign-on payment of $140,000, an annual base salary of $675,000 and a target annual incentive (bonus) opportunity equal
to 80% of his base salary. Effective as of the Effective Date, Mr. Scribner will also receive a fiscal year 2026 long-term equity
incentive award under the Company’s 2022 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) with an aggregate value of $2 million
that will be comprised of 40% restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 60% performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”).
Subject to Mr. Scribner’s continued employment or qualifying service with the Company, and subject to accelerated vesting in connection
with a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) or Mr. Scribner’s death or Disability (as defined in the award agreements),
(i) the RSUs will vest one-third on the first anniversary of the grant date, one third on January 6, 2028, and one third on January
6, 2029 and (ii) the PRSUs will vest upon the certification by the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Company’s
Board of Directors of the attainment of the performance goals following the end of the three-year performance period ending December 31,
2028. The performance metrics for the PRSUs are structured in the same manner as the PRSUs granted to the Company’s executive officers
every year since 2018 and are the same as the PRSUs awarded to the Company’s executive officers in January 2026. The number of PRSUs
earned under the PRSUs will be determined based on the Company’s average return on net assets (“RONA”) performance over
three one-year periods and subject to a three-year total shareholder return modifier. The RONA performance levels for fiscal 2026 and
corresponding payout percentages for the year established by the Compensation and Management Development Committee will be disclosed in
the proxy statement for CF Industries’ 2027 annual meeting of shareholders.
Mr. Scribner will also enter into a change in control agreement
with the Company, effective as of the Effective Date. Under the terms of this agreement (which will be in the Company’s standard
form of change in control agreement for senior executives), Mr. Scribner will generally be entitled to receive certain payments and benefits
from the Company if the Company terminates his employment without cause or if he resigns because of good reason, in either case within
the period of 24 months following (or in certain cases prior to) a Change in Control (as such terms are defined in the agreements). Following
a qualifying termination, the change in control agreement will provide for (i) a lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of his
base salary and target annual incentive payment; (ii) welfare benefit continuation for a period of two years and outplacement services
for a period of up to two years; and (iii) a pro-rata annual incentive payment for the year of termination, assuming target levels
of performance or, if higher, actual year-to-date performance. He will also receive a cash payment equal to the employer matching and
annual service contributions that we would have made on his behalf for a period of two years under our defined contribution 401(k) plan
and the related amounts that we would have credited to his account balance under our Supplemental Benefit and Deferral Plan.
