   Production Issues - Germany

Werra: 100kt of lost production in Q2/18 (again)
 Lack of staff / Illness rate: open vacancies, high illness, lack of motivation
   Achievements so far: management changed, vacancies partly filled, illness rate halved
   Further measures: qualifying new staff, filling remaining vacancies,
   moving workers from SI, to be resolved by end of 2018
 Machinery/Equipment: extensive maintenance breaks led to downtimes in production
   Countermeasure: prioritized maintenance and replacement
   -> ongoing improvement, 50% to be fixed by end of 2018
 Extraordinary low nutrient content (K2O): Crossing field with lower content
   at Unterbreizbach (UB)
   -> Effect resolved by the end of 2019
Neuhof: 50Kt of lost production in Q2/18
 Geology issue: low roof stability -> additional safety measures needed
 Countermeasures: new production technologies to be installed (by end Q3 2018)

                                                                                      K+S Group   5

    Nutrient content in Germany is diminishing

 In Germany we operate mature potash mines
 Nutrient content (K2O) is diminishing
 Overall impact 2018: 100Kt of product (annualized)

Countermeasures: Operational Excellence (OpsEx)
   Starting Operational Excellence program with a consultant
   Site-by-site investigation with management and consultants
   We have identified many opportunities to increase efficiency across all sites
   Start of implementation in 2019 to stabilize current production in Germany

                                                                                    K+S Group   6
