   Green light for joint venture between AGRANA and INGREDION in Romania

   35 million euros investment will expand starch capacity, increase cost
   efficiency and enhance competitiveness

   The planned joint venture between the food and industrial goods group
   AGRANA and the global supplier of ingredient solutions INGREDION (NYSE:
   INGR) obtained clearance for the transaction from all applicable
   international regulatory authorities, including the European antitrust
   body.   In September 2024, AGRANA Stärke GmbH, a subsidiary of AGRANA
   Beteiligungs-AG, signed a joint venture agreement with INGREDION Germany
   GmbH for the joint development of starch production in Romania. Per the
   agreement, INGREDION Germany GmbH will acquire 49% of the shares of equity
   in the Romanian operating entity S.C. AGFD Țăndărei s.r.l. from AGRANA
   Stärke GmbH.

   “We are pleased to expand the partnership between AGRANA and INGREDION
   through the joint venture. The joint investment aims to increase starch
   production capacities in Romania, enhance competitiveness and establish a
   foundation for higher sales volumes of our starch products. This is fully
   in line with our new Group strategy ‘Next Level’, which includes
   strengthening the commodity and specialty business as a central aspect,”
   explained AGRANA CEO Stephan Büttner.

   “This is a step-change in our EMEA production capabilities that will allow
   us to meet the growing demand for texture solutions across Europe, Africa
   and the Middle East,” said Mike O’Riordan, Senior Vice President Texture &
   Healthful Solutions EMEA and APAC. “It will reduce our dependence on
   imports, improve control over our supply chain, and enable us to meet
   growing customer demand for texture solutions. Additionally, localized
   starch production will enhance our supply chain sustainability and reduce
   our carbon footprint.“

   As part of the joint venture, AGRANA and INGREDION will jointly invest EUR
   35 million in expanding the production in Țăndărei. Construction of the
   plant expansion is scheduled to start in June 2025. The project will take
   2.5 years to complete, but the plant will start producing products in
   support of the joint venture immediately.
