  2. Immediate access to commercial scale building blocks

  3. Succinic Acid: A High Growth Platform = PBS Polybutylene Succinate Succinic Acid ✚ !,4 BDO, THF, GBL 1,4 BDO Flavors Polyurethanes Plasticizers Deicers Solvents Coatings Resins Cosmetics Food Bio-Based Succinic Acid: Large Addressable Markets -3-

  4. Industrial Scale Plant in North America Low Cost Production Site • Sarnia is a Lanxess’s bio-chemical park • Three world-class corn wet mills in area. • Cool water and Hydro-electricity on site. • Excess of CO2 and steam produced on site • Capacity to generate economies of scale • Available and skilled manpower

  5. Community Celebration – Start of Construction – May 16, 2012 Investment and Job Creation • BioAmber Sarnia - $80 M capital investment and 40 new jobs • May 16, 2012 – community celebration – attended by our JV partner Mitsui& Co • Hosted at the site of the LanxessBioindustrial Park • Engineering team onsite • Plant manager hired • Municipal permitting underway 6
