ANNOUNCES STATUS OF K&S ACQUISITION
Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc ("PCS") announced today that, in
connection with the proposed acquisition by PCS of 51 percent of the outstanding
shares of Kali und Salz Beteiligungs AG from a subsidiary of BASF AG, it has
been advised that a public hearing regarding the matter has been scheduled for
June 26, 1997.
The German Minister of Economics is expected to consider the results of that
hearing, submissions from interested parties, and the report of the German
Monopolies Commission (which today recommended against the transaction) before
rendering a final decision. That decision is expected by mid-July, 1997.
