Mosaic Co (MOS.N) could sell itself over the next two years even though its majority shareholder Cargill [CARG.UL] decided to sell its stake in the fertilizer company, Mosaic's chief executive said in a conference call on Tuesday. The company and Cargill have built mechanisms into their deal that would let the company accept a competing bid if one arises, according to a source familiar with the matter. For a bid to be taken seriously, the source said, it would need to be high enough to offset the tax benefits of the Cargill-Mosaic deal. (Reporting by Michael Erman and Ernest Scheyder.
