ITEM 8.01 Other Events.
 
Recast Quarterly 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of the company for the quarter ended Nov. 30, 2010 (the “Quarterly Report”), which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on Jan. 7, 2011, 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 first quarter 2011 consolidated financial statements as previously issued in the Quarterly Report.
 
On November 14, 2011, the company filed an amendment to the Quarterly Report that amended and restated its financial information for the quarter ended November 30, 2010.  Accordingly, the Exhibits filed to the Form 8-K have been superseded.
