(This pricing notice was published on August 6 under the headline “PRICING NOTICE: Clarification of Fastmarkets’ nickel sulfate specification.” The wording “delivery time” in the first and second paragraphs has been amended to “timing of loading” in order to distinguish it from “timing of cargoes to be delivered to customers.” In addition, in the second paragraph and in the specifications, the timing was misleadingly given as “7 days”; which has now been amended to “within 7 days.”)
