ROS AGRO PLC SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED A PRIMARY CAPITAL INCREASE OF US$250 MILLION TO SUPPORT FURTHER GROWTH

 

28 April 2016 - ROS AGRO PLC (LSE / MOEX: AGRO) (the "Company", and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group" or "Rusagro"), a leading Russian vertically integrated diversified food producer, is pleased to announce the successful completion of a capital increase via a fully marketed offering (the "Offering") of global depositary receipts ("GDRs"), representing newly issued ordinary shares in the Company, raising approximately US$250 million to support further growth.

Results of the Offering:

§ The Company has successfully completed an equity placing of 16,666,665 GDRs via a fully marketed offering raising gross proceeds of approximately US$250 million.

§ The offer price has been set at US$15 per GDR.

§ GDRs in the aggregate value of approximately US$99.6 million have been allocated to Shiny Property Limited, the Company's controlling shareholder beneficially owned by Mr. Vadim Moshkovich. In addition, GDRs in the aggregate value of approximately US$17.5 million have been allocated to Mr. Maxim Basov, the Chief Executive Officer.

§ Following the Offering, the Company's free float is expected to be approximately 20.7%.

§ The Company, Shiny Property Limited, Mr. Vadim Moshkovich, the controlling beneficial shareholder of the Company, and Mr. Maxim Basov, Chief Executive Officer and a minority shareholder of the Company, have each agreed, subject to certain exceptions, in respect of themselves, their affiliates and each person acting on their behalf, to provide customary lock-up arrangements in relation to their respective shareholdings in the Company for a period of 180 days following the Offering.

§ Closing and settlement of the Offering is expected to take place on 5 May 2016, subject to customary closing conditions.

§ J.P. Morgan, UBS and VTB Capital are acting as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners in connection with the Offering.

Commenting on the announcement, Maxim Basov, Chief Executive Officer of Rusagro, said:

"Today we are very pleased to announce the successful completion of a $250 million primary capital raise to assist in the execution of our growth strategy. We have received strong demand both from existing shareholders, as well as new shareholders, which will help us to further diversify investor base, improve liquidity of our shares and support Rusagro going forward.

Since its IPO in 2011, Rusagro has developed into a leading diversified food producer with integrated operations across four business segments. We see many growth opportunities in the fragmented Russian market where we are well-positioned to act as a consolidator and acquire new assets. In terms of organic growth we have recently initiated two transformational projects, the Far East food cluster project and the greenhouse facilities construction project, which we believe will deliver significant returns in the future."
