Recast Annual Report.
On April 8, 2011, Monsanto Company (the “company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) that revised portions of the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the company for the year ended Aug. 31, 2010 (the “Annual Report”), which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on Oct. 27, 2010, to retrospectively reflect subsequent changes in the company’s operating segments, which occurred in February 2011.
The change in operating segments had no impact on the company’s reportable segments or the company’s historical consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The recast historical financial information in the Form 8-K did not represent an amendment to or restatement of the company’s fiscal year 2010 consolidated financial statements as previously issued in the Annual Report.
On November 14, 2011, the company filed an amendment to the Annual Report that amended and restated its financial information for fiscal years 2010 and 2009. Accordingly, the Exhibits filed to the Form 8-K have been superseded.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
