On March 25, 2024, before the market opened, Compass issued a press release entitled "Compass Minerals Announces the Company Will Not Secure a USFS Contract to Supply Magnesium Chloride-Based Aerial Fire Retardants for the 2024 Fire Season." The press release explained that "during scheduled winter airtanker inspections as part of the [U.S. Forest Service's] Integrated Operational Field Evaluation, it was discovered that certain airtankers that had flown Fortress North America's (Fortress') proprietary, magnesium chloride-based aerial fire retardants revealed significant signs of corrosion in areas where build-up of the retardant had occurred" and that "[t]he findings from this more extensive inspection raised aircraft safety concerns, prompting the USFS' decision to inform Compass Minerals on March 22, 2024, that it would be 'unable to define the scope and associated terms and conditions of a new contract' with the [C]ompany until the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conducted a coordinated, independent assessment of the findings." 

On this news, Compass's stock price fell $3.00 per share, or 17.09%, to close at $14.55 per share on March 25, 2024.
