The German fertilizer company K+S AG paid approximately C$434 million (about $425-$428 million USD at the time) to acquire the start-up potash company Potash One in 2010. This was a friendly takeover that gave K+S access to Potash One's Legacy project in Saskatchewan, Canada, which was still in the development stage and not yet operational.
Potash One was considered a startup or junior mining firm at the time, as it had no operations and required an estimated $2.5 billion in capital investment to build the mine.
