Share Repurchases [Abstract]
Share Repurchases [Text Block]	SHARE REPURCHASES In August 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a $1.0 billion share repurchase program. Following the completion of this program in 2022, our Board of Directors approved two additional share repurchase programs for a total of $3.0 billion. Our repurchase programs allow the Company to repurchase shares of our Common Stock through open market purchases, accelerated share repurchase arrangements, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. These programs have no set expiration dates. On February 24, 2022, pursuant to existing stock repurchase authorizations, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $400 million of our Common Stock. At inception, we paid the financial institution $400 million and took initial delivery of 7,056,229 shares of our Common Stock. Under the terms of the ASR agreement, upon settlement, we would either receive additional shares from the financial institution or be required to deliver additional shares or cash to the financial institution. In the second quarter of 2022, the ASR agreement was completed and we paid the financial institution an additional $54.2 million. When combining the initial $400 million paid at the inception of the ASR agreement and the cash settlement of $54.2 million at the termination of the ASR agreement, we repurchased 7,056,229 shares at an average repurchase price of $64.37 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2022, under the 2022 repurchase programs, we repurchased 30,810,173 shares of Common Stock in the open market for approximately $1.7 billion. This includes the 7,056,229 shares purchased under the ASR agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2021, under the 2021 repurchase program, we repurchased 11,200,371 shares of Common Stock for a total of approximately $410.9 million. This includes 8,544,144 shares we purchased in an underwritten secondary offering by Vale S.A. when they fully divested their interest in Mosaic. The extent to which we repurchase our shares and the timing of any such repurchases depend on a number of factors, including market and business conditions, the price of our shares, and corporate, regulatory and other considerations.
