  18. The 2015 Guaranteed Floor Pool provides a guaranteed minimum return for the ICE 11 component of the Final Sugar Price with the potential for higher returns • MSF has the ability to set a known minimum price at the conclusion of the Allocation Period (27 Mar) and provides scope for limited participation in upwards market movements across full season • Removes risk of downward market moves post 27 Mar

  19. Current Market Price current market value of sugar if you outright price today Strike Price the market level at which you begin to participate in price rises Absolute floor minimum price the pool will achieve including the cost of insurance paid to secure the floor Participation rate the amount of participation in price rises above the Strike Price 50% participation means for every dollar ($1) the market trades above the strike the pool participates 50 cents How to interpret 2015 Guaranteed Floor Pool price indications on MSF’s website

  20. Pool Manager Discretion and Passive Management Benchmark • Pricing according to benchmark using no discretion means that the pool should achieve the average price of the market during its life • A pool manager may delay pricing where he or she has the view that prices may be better later on, or increase pricing if they believe prices will go down in the future

  26. How do you participate in optional ICE11 Pricing Pools? Important Information • Optional ICE11 Pricing Pools (Commitment Pools) carry Cane Pay Sugar quantity obligations • US Quota and Existing Pricing is prioritised • Quantity obligation shortfalls can result in a financial loss or gain for the grower • The amount of Cane Pay Sugar you are able to allocate is governed by Production Risk Exposure Limits • These limits determine Cane Pay Sugar pricing scope and aim to reduce the probability of not being able to meet your quantity obligations • If you choose not to participate in an optional ICE11 Pricing Pool your cane price will be determined on the basis of the MSF Late Season and US Quota Pool outcomes. • But still receive a share of existing pricing

  27. How do you participate in optional ICE11 Pricing Pools? What • The option to allocate Cane Pay Sugar to ICE 11 Pricing Pools where another party makes ICE 11 pricing decisions and/or ICE11 Pricing Pools where you make pricing decisions. How? • First you need to enter into a Grower Pricing Agreement with MSF • A completed Authorised Person form is also required • Both of these documents are available from Catherine Schutt • Secondly you need to know how much Cane Pay Sugar you are able to allocate • This information has been provided • The process requires you to allocate Cane Pay Sugar to the pool during the Allocation Period using a form provided by MSF • By allocating Cane Pay Sugar to the pool you agree to the pool terms • Copies of Pool Terms are available today
