K+S Receives Investment Grade Ratings
The international rating agencies Standard & Poor's and Moody's have  given  K+S
Aktiengesellschaft an "investment grade" rating. Standard & Poor's rates K+S  as
"BBB+", while Moody's rates it as "Baa2".  Both  agencies  see  the  outlook  as
being "stable".
Norbert  Steiner,  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Executive  Directors   of   K+S
Aktiengesellschaft, is very pleased with this assessment: "Being placed  in  the
much sought after 'investment grade' category attests to the  Group's
financial position - with the acquisition of Morton Salt already 
included," he  said.  "In view of the difficult environment on the 
capital markets at present,  this  good assessment of our 
creditworthiness continues to enable us to engage in  flexible 
borrowing and therefore to attain our financial targets."
Experience growth The K+S Group is one  of  the  world's  leading  
suppliers  of  speciality  and standard fertilizers, plant care as 
well as salt products.  With  its  products and brands, K+S offers
