4 PARTNER WITH SEVITA FOR PROPRIETARY GENETICS AND PROFITABLE YIELDS. At Sevita International, we put only the best quality seed in a PROSeeds bag because we put producers first. We go above and beyond to develop and source the best genetics and a full range of traits from a variety of seed providers, including our own research and development company, Sevita Genetics. All of our seed products are carefully selected for optimal performance in Eastern Canada. We invite you to partner with us for the genetics you need and the year-round support that you want, from our team of specialists. FACILITIES THAT MEET GLOBAL SOYBEAN QUALITY AND TRACEABILITY STANDARDS. Our network of facilities is conveniently local to the areas where we do business, making it easy for producers to partner with us. And we re committed to industry-leading facilities, having invested in excess of $2 million into upgrades and new equipment at our facilities in the last three years. Our seed processing facilities use the best technology available for conditioning Certified Seed soybeans to the rigid specifications of customers around the world. Our plants are accredited through the Canadian Seed Institute, on behalf of the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency). Our export facilities are certified with the Canadian Identity Preserved Recognition System (CIPRS) by the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC). CIPRS requires that a number of steps are strictly followed to ensure that identity preserved soybeans conform to the highest standards. It starts with the grower and planting Certified Seed which ensures that the unique genetic traits of quality characteristics of a variety are maintained from seeding through to when the crop is transported, handled, processed and shipped. The system requires complete documentation and record keeping that provide detailed traceability right back to the fields where the crop was grown. GENETICS THAT THE MARKET DEMANDS. Sevita Genetics is the soybean breeding arm of Sevita International. Our self-sufficient, independent research program uses our proprietary and exclusive germplasm. We have a skilled breeding team and leading edge technology including a DNA marker lab. We re able to make more informed and better decisions in shorter time frames as we bring our varieties to market. The Sevita Genetics advantage: Proprietary conventional varieties producers can confidently grow in their rotation Independent breeding program World class technology Renowned breeding expertise PROSEEDS 201 SOYBEAN GUIDE The global demand for traceability is increasing and we are ready to meet more stringent marketplace requirements. Our modern facilities meet or exceed the latest traceability standards, giving all of our value chain partners the assurance of quality from seed to plate. 2

5 MARKETING YOUR SOYBEANS TO INTERNATIONAL MARKETS. Signing a production contract for a Premier Food Grade or PROGrade Conventional variety allows producers to realize the full economic benefit of our advanced genetics, competitive premiums and in-field support. On top of that, we make it easy to market your soybean crop with flexible pricing options and a Grower Pricing Liaison who serves your area. Premium contracts Sevita s food grade production contracts allow you to earn a premium on 100% of your crop regardless of your total yield. This is in the form of a fixed premium over and above our competitive local cash price. International markets Our export team is committed to finding the highest premium markets for your beans and helping your soybeans travel the world from Central America, Africa and Europe to Asia and across North America. We work closely with our manufacturers to understand their end uses, desired traits, and required health benefits. Our Food Testing is conducted internationally including a test site in Japan.

From selecting your varieties to providing in-field agronomic support, their focus is on helping you maximize your profitability. Our promise to producers: to provide ongoing support and agronomic solutions to help you improve your returns. OUR NON-GMO AND TRAITED PRODUCT LINEUP DELIVER PACKAGE SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR FARM OPERATION. The diversity of our product lineup gives you the opportunity to use our seed varieties at multiple points in your rotation. Whether you re growing Premier Food Grade, PROGrade Conventional, or AdvancePRO Traited soybeans, our non-gmo and Traited seed package solutions can help address weed control and resistance challenges. The extensive nature of the PROSeeds product lineup helps us to optimize the soybean rotation of any producer in the areas where we do business. Regardless of the size of your operation or your farming practices, the PROSeeds team of professionals and our dealer partners are eager to help with varieties that will bring maximum value to your business. Premier Food Grade soybeans deliver an exceptional return on every acre when positioned and managed appropriately. However, some producers will find value in placing an AdvancePRO Traited variety on a field with a history of weed problems to take advantage of the technology or as a longer season option to complement some earlier food grade production fields. No matter the situation, we are here with the products and support required for a profitable soybean crop. THE PROOF YOU NEED TO INFORM YOUR SEED DECISIONS. We re committed to collecting accurate, current performance data of our products against competitive brands and sharing that information with producers. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions based on what you need to maximize your return on investment. Research locations We have 12 Sevita research locations where we evaluate new, proprietary Canadian food grade soybean varieties that perform across Eastern Canada s soils and climate zones. Provincial plot trials We participate in all provincially-run soybean trials where our full variety lineup is tested against other varieties in the marketplace. It s our way of helping you make the best decisions for your business putting comparative information about all varieties at your fingertips. Over 0 grower and dealer field trials We run our own large scale field trials with producers and our dealer network. What we learn from these tests lets us develop recommendations about which varieties are best suited to which type of environment, as well as offer yield and other agronomic information.
