&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 18px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Note 20 &amp;#x2014; Carolina
Starches Acquisition&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;On
January&amp;#xA0;11, 2012, Penford Carolina, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (&amp;#x201C;Purchaser&amp;#x201D;) and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Amended and Restated
Business Sale and Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the
&amp;#x201C;Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement&amp;#x201D;) providing
for the purchase of Carolina Starches. Penford Carolina, LLC
manufactures, markets and sells industrial cationic starches
produced from potato, corn and tapioca into the paper and packaging
industry. The acquisition of these businesses provides an important
source of raw material to support continued growth in the Food
Ingredients business and broadens the Company&amp;#x2019;s portfolio of
specialty modified industrial starches.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Pursuant to the
terms of the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser
acquired from each of R. Bentley Cheatham, Dwight Carlson and
Steven P. Brower (collectively, the &amp;#x201C;Sellers&amp;#x201D;) 100% of
the limited liability interests in Carolina Starches, LLC and
entered into asset purchase agreements with two limited liability
companies owned by Sellers pursuant to which these companies
transferred to Purchaser substantially all of their net assets. The
Purchaser also entered into a real property lease agreement and an
option to purchase agreement with another limited liability company
owned by the Sellers, pursuant to which Purchaser leases a facility
from such company with an option to purchase that facility. The
acquisition price was $5 million in cash paid to the Sellers and
the payment of $3.5 million in bank debt of Carolina Starches, LLC
and its related companies. The Company incurred $0.2 million of
acquisition costs. The funding of the purchase price of $8.5
million was provided by borrowings under the Company&amp;#x2019;s credit
facility. The results of operations of the acquired limited
liability company interests and assets are included in the
Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated results from January&amp;#xA0;11, 2012
forward.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;
&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The acquisition
of Carolina Starches was accounted for as a business combination
under the acquisition method. The allocation of the purchase price
to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their fair
values as of January&amp;#xA0;11, 2012, is presented below. The
purchase price allocation was finalized in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2012. Included in property, plant and equipment is $0.7
million of land, land improvements and buildings acquired in this
transaction pursuant to a capital lease. Goodwill represents the
amount by which the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the
net assets acquired and has been allocated to the Food Ingredients
segment. It is estimated that all of the goodwill associated with
this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. Pro forma results
of operations have not been included as the results were not
significant to the historical periods.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
