Press Release



Announcement of Intended Capital Increase Subscription

Amatheon Agri Holding N.V. (the "Company"), the Euronext listed agribusiness and farming group, announces that its capital increase of up to EUR 50 million is intended to be fully subscribed to.



On 8 December 2014, an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders ("EGM") authorised the Management Board, subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board, to raise aggregate proceeds of up to EUR 50 million in an equity capital raise. The Management Board was authorised to issue up to 21,739,130 shares to interested parties ("New Shares"), which could be existing shareholders or third parties, by way of a private placement. The subscription price per New Share was determined as equal the average closing price of the current issued shares in the capital of the Company quoted on the Marché Libre of Euronext in Paris during five trading days preceding the day of the EGM notice, being EUR 2.30 per share.

The New Shares are intended to be subscribed to by Sapinda Asia Ltd and Sapinda Invest SARL (the "Subscribers"), which are both Eligible Shareholders as defined in the EGM notice. The Company intends to enter into subscription agreements with the Subscribers.

The Management Board intends to resolve to issue the New Shares to the Subscriber and the subscription is expected to be executed in the coming fortnight.

The purpose of the capital increase is intended to fund the Company Group's further expansion and investment in Sub-Saharan Africa as well as to repurchase a portion of the outstanding 8.25% bond due 2017 (ISIN DE000A1ZML05), issued by Amatheon Financing B.V..
