2 ARD is Owned by a Large Consortium of French Agrobusinesses % SICLAE An industrial and financial agro-business player with significant 99 % expertise in processing and valorizing plant products (consolidated turnover : M ). Belongs to Champagne Céréales (one of the leading European grain producers), Nouricia, EMC2, other shareholders (Champagne Coligny, Coopérative Agricole de Sézanne ), FSI, Unigrains, i Crédit Agricole du nord Est, Subsidiaries : Malteurop, Nutrixo, Kalizea, Chamtor, Nestal, Inéos- Champlor, LMT-Oléagineux 50 % % Cristal Union Sugar producer from sugar beets (turnover 1,05 05B Bn ). Trademark : Daddy Sucre 9.34 % % Crédit Agricole International bank (21 millions clients, in 60 countries) 7.92 % Chamtor Wheat refiner, subsidiary of SICLAE. Produces starch, glucose, gluten, wheat bran, etc 418%LRD 4.18 Union of alfalfa producers 1.35 % CRD Union of cereals cooperatives 3.93 % 2.21 % 0.94 % Unigrains Page 2

3 ARD is a Private Mutualised Research & Development Centre Who we are ARD is a private mutualised R&D centre in the field of biotechnology and bio-based chemistry What we do We develop innovative processes to produce chemicals derived from biomass What we stand for We add value to agricultural products via R&D and we introduce new outlets for the agricultural economy. We develop innovative and competitive products and processes that are sustainable and ecologically sound alternatives to petrochemicals. We focus on bio-refinery concepts that are designed to process all plant fractions to valuable products. We capitalize on synergies among various crops for discovery of innovative molecules. We actively promote utilization of bio-based resources in industrial applications and more generally in the economy and the society. Page 3

4 ARD s Activities are Focused on Biorefinery Management Biomass Fractionation Industrial Biotechnology Bio-based Chemistry Environment Pentosides from wheat bran Plants extracts isolation Crops elicitors Cellulosic Ethanol Proteins from alfalfa Di-Hydroxy-Acetone Biopolymers incl. Hyaluronic Acid 1 st and 2 nd generation Bio-ethanol Succinic acid Chemical intermediates Succinic acid derivatives Polyesters & Agro-materials Organic synthesis Green surfactants t Epoxydized oil resins Olfactory pollution analysis Methanisation & Waste treatment Biodegradability tests Eco-toxicity it testst Life Cycle Analysis Page 4

5 ARD Facts and Figures A leading company in the field of bio-based chemistry since 1989: Almost 100 employees in its facility, among which 70 are directly involved in R&D ARD budget : 11 Mn Investment budget : Investment development not included Page 5

6 ARD is an Historical Member of The World Class Competitiveness Cluster Industry And Agro-Ressources Bio-based feedstocks Bio-based Green Chemistry ChemicaIs The goal of the IAR cluster is to structure the agro-industrial value chain around non-food applications of biomass Located mainly in Champagne-Ardenne and Picardie regions 20 industrial corporations and 38 SMEs representing more that 17Bn in sales A leading R&D network : 4 universities, 2 graduate schools, 2 INRA centers, 3 demonstration platforms. Sustainability and biorefineries are the key words for IAR. Page 6
