CF Holdings filed on March 19, 2010 Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (file no. 333-165224) relating to the offer and sale of the CF Holdings common stock to be issued to holders of Terra common stock in the Offer.

On April 12, 2010, Composite announced the extension of the subsequent offering period until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, April 14, 2010, unless further extended.
