With respect to the Proposed Transaction described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons anticipate that approximately US$261 million will be expended in acquiring outstanding shares of Company Common Stock that the Consortium does not already own (the “Publicly Held Shares”).

The Loan was drawn down on December 28, 2012 and carries interest at the six months U.S. dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 300 base points. The Loan will mature and Parent shall repay the full amount of the loan in December of 2013.

The upfront fee to be charged by CDB for the financing under the Debt Commitment Letter will not be less than US$2 million (the “Upfront Fee”). On December 27, 2012, Morgan Stanley Agriculture Holding Limited (“MSPEA”) and Parent entered into a loan agreement, under which MSPEA will extend a loan of US$800,000 to Parent for the payment of a part of the Upfront Fee (the “MS Loan Agreement”). Such loan was drawn down on December 28, 2012. On December 27, 2012, Mr. Zishen Wu and Parent entered into a loan agreement, under which Mr. Wu will extend a loan of US$800,000 to Parent for the payment of a part of the Upfront Fee (the “Chairman Loan Agreement”). Such loan was drawn down on December 28, 2012.
On December 28, 2012, Abax Global Capital (Hong Kong) Limited, a Hong Kong company (“Abax HK”), on behalf of certain of the funds managed and/or advised by it and its nominee entities and its and their affiliates, issued a financing commitment letter (“Mezzanine Commitment Letter”) to Full Alliance International Limited, under which Abax HK conditionally committed to provide a mezzanine debt of US$35 million, as part of the total proposed mezzanine and equity financing of US$50 million to be provided by Abax HK to partially fund the Proposed Transaction.
