Agreement to acquire rice operations

On December 21, 2021, the Group, through certain subsidiaries, agreed to acquire the rice production operations in Uruguay and Argentina currently owned by certain subsidiaries of Viterra Limited, a third party company. The acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of certain government approvals in Uruguay,
among others. These conditions have not been satisfied as of the date of these financial statements and therefore the acquisition is not closed.The terms and conditions of the agreement contemplate the payment, subject to adjustments, of an amount of US$18 million in three annual installments and the assumption of existing financial debt for an amount to be finally determined at closing (approximately US$20 million as of the date of these financial statements). The assets acquired will include but are not limited to all biological assets attached to the farms and the rice and rough rice stocks existing at closing. The rice operations are conducted through four rice processing and storage plants in Uruguay, one rice processing plant in Argentina, and one storage plant in Argentina, all of which form part of the agreement.
