Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events On August 2, 2017, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with a subsidiary of Tronox Limited (“Tronox”) pursuant to which we will acquire for approximately $1.325 billion in cash all of Tronox’s trona and trona-based exploring, mining, processing, producing, marketing and selling business. The business holds leases covering acres of land containing proved and probable reserves of trona ore, a soda ash production facility, underground trona ore mines and solution mining operations and related equipment, logistics and other assets. We currently expect to fund the acquisition price and related transaction costs with proceeds from a notes offering, a preferred units offering and/or borrowings under our $1.7 billion revolving credit facility, as well as cash on hand. We expect to close the acquisition in the second half of 2017.
