<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CHS&nbsp;Inc. (referred to herein as "CHS," "we" or "us") is one of the nation's leading integrated agricultural companies. As a
cooperative, we are owned by farmers and ranchers and their member cooperatives (referred to herein as "members") across the United States. We also have preferred stockholders that own shares of our
8% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, which is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol CHSCP. On May&nbsp;31, 2013, we had 12,272,003 shares of 8% Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Stock outstanding. We buy commodities from and provide products and services to patrons (including our members and other non-member customers), both domestic and international. We provide a
wide variety of products and services, from initial agricultural inputs such as fuels, farm supplies, crop nutrients and crop protection products, to agricultural outputs that include grains and
oilseeds, grain and oilseed processing and food products. A portion of our operations are conducted through equity investments and joint ventures whose operating results are not fully consolidated
with our results; rather, a proportionate share of the income or loss from those entities is included as a component in our net income under the equity method of accounting. For the fiscal year ended
August&nbsp;31, 2012, our total revenues were $40.6&nbsp;billion and net income attributable to CHS&nbsp;Inc. was $1.3&nbsp;billion. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have aligned our segments based on an assessment of how our businesses operate and the products and services they sell. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
Energy segment derives its revenues through refining, wholesaling and retailing of petroleum products. Our Ag segment derives its revenues through the origination and marketing of
grain, including service activities conducted at export terminals, through the wholesale sales of crop nutrients, from the sales of soybean meal and soybean refined oil and through the retail sales of
petroleum and agronomy products, processed sunflowers, feed and farm supplies, and records equity income from investments in our grain export joint venture and other investments. We include other
business operations in Corporate and Other because of the nature of their products and services, as well as the relative revenues of those businesses. These businesses primarily include our financing,
insurance, hedging and other service activities related to crop production. In addition, our wheat milling and packaged food operations are included in Corporate and Other, as those businesses are
conducted through non-consolidated joint ventures. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Membership
in CHS is restricted to certain producers of agricultural products and to associations of producers of agricultural products that are organized and operating so as to adhere
to the provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Act and the Capper-Volstead Act, as amended. Our Board of Directors may establish other qualifications for membership from time to time as it may deem
advisable. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
earnings from cooperative business are allocated to members (and to a limited extent, to non-members with which we have agreed to do business on a patronage basis) based on the
volume of business they do with us. We allocate these earnings to our patrons in the form of patronage refunds
(which are also called patronage dividends) in cash and patrons' equities (capital equity certificates), which may be redeemed over time solely at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Earnings

from the cooperatives in which we are a member, if those cooperatives have earnings to distribute and if we qualify for patronage refunds from them. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
origins date back to the early 1930s with the founding of the predecessor companies of Cenex,&nbsp;Inc. and Harvest States Cooperatives. CHS&nbsp;Inc. emerged as the result of
the merger of those two entities in 1998, and is headquartered in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Energy  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are the nation's largest cooperative energy company based on revenues and identifiable assets, with operations that include
petroleum refining and pipelines; the supply, marketing (including ethanol and biodiesel) and distribution of refined fuels (gasoline, diesel fuel and other energy products); the blending, sale and
distribution of lubricants; and the wholesale supply of propane. Our Energy segment processes crude oil into refined petroleum products at refineries in Laurel, Montana (wholly-owned) and McPherson,
Kansas (an entity in which we currently have an approximate 79.2% ownership interest) and sells those products under the Cenex&reg; brand to member cooperatives and others through a network of
approximately 1,350 independent retail sites, of which 75% are convenience stores marketing Cenex&reg; branded fuels. For fiscal 2012, our Energy revenues, after elimination of inter-segment
revenues, were $12.3&nbsp;billion and were primarily from gasoline and diesel fuel. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
fiscal 2012, we began a project to replace a coker at one of our refineries with an expected total cost of $555.0&nbsp;million and expected completion in fiscal 2015, of which
$131.7&nbsp;million has been expended as of May&nbsp;31, 2013. In fiscal 2013, we began a $327.0&nbsp;million expansion at National Cooperative Refinery Association's (NCRA) McPherson, Kansas
refinery which is anticipated to be completed in fiscal 2016. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Ag segment includes crop nutrients, country operations, grain marketing and processing and food ingredients. Our revenues in our
Ag segment primarily include grain sales, which were $20.6&nbsp;billion for fiscal 2012 after elimination of inter-segment revenues. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Crop Nutrients.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe our North America wholesale crop nutrients business is one of the largest
wholesale fertilizer businesses in the U.S.
based on tons sold and accounts for approximately 11% of the U.S. market. Tons sold include sales to our country operations business. There is significant seasonality in the sale of agronomy products
and services, with peak activity coinciding with the planting seasons. There is also significant volatility in the prices for the crop nutrient products we purchase and sell. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
are currently taking steps toward construction of a more than $1&nbsp;billion nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing plant to be located at Spiritwood, North Dakota, which would provide
the region's farmers with enhanced supplies of crop nutrients essential to raising corn and other crops. We plan to spend up to $25&nbsp;million on an engineering design study to determine the
feasibility of the project. We expect the study to be completed in the fall of 2013. </FONT></P>

business, with the balance purchased from third parties. We arrange for the transportation of the grains either directly to customers or to our owned or leased grain terminals and elevators awaiting
delivery to domestic and foreign purchasers. We primarily conduct our grain marketing operations directly, but do conduct some of our business through TEMCO,&nbsp;LLC (TEMCO), a 50% joint venture
with Cargill, Incorporated (Cargill). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Horizon
Milling,&nbsp;LLC and Horizon Milling&nbsp;G.P. are flour milling joint ventures with Cargill, of which we own 24%. On March&nbsp;4, 2013, we entered into a definitive
agreement with Cargill and ConAgra Foods,&nbsp;Inc. to form Ardent Mills, a joint venture combining the North American flour milling operations of the three parent companies, including the Horizon
Milling,&nbsp;LLC and Horizon Milling&nbsp;G.P. assets, with CHS holding a 12% interest. Upon closing, Ardent Mills is expected to be financed with
funds from third-party borrowings, which would not require credit support from the owners. The borrowings are anticipated to be no less than $600&nbsp;million with proceeds distributed to each owner
in proportion to the ownership interests, adjusted for any deviations in specified working capital target amounts. The transaction is expected to close in our fiscal 2014, subject to financing and
certain other customary closing conditions. In connection with the closing, the parties will also enter into various ancillary and non-compete agreements, including, among other things, an agreement
for CHS to supply Ardent Mills with certain wheat and durum products. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In June 2013, we terminated and replaced both of the existing revolving credit facilities with a new five-year revolving facility with
a committed amount of $2.5&nbsp;billion, with a syndication of domestic and international banks, including Bank of America, National Association, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, and
Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, each of whom is an affiliate of one of the representatives of the underwriters. The financial covenants for the new revolving facility are substantially consistent with
those applicable to the replaced facilities. </FONT></P>

purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred dividends, earnings consist of income from continuing operations before
income taxes on consolidated operations, distributed income from equity investees and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense and one-third of rental expense, considered
representative of that portion of rental expense estimated to be attributable to interest. Interest costs of $126.3&nbsp;million, $67.5&nbsp;million, and $113.2&nbsp;million for the nine months
ended May&nbsp;31, 2013 and 2012, and the year ended August&nbsp;31, 2012, respectively, associated with our commitment to purchase the NCRA noncontrolling interests, were excluded from interest

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following table sets forth selected financial information that has been revised to reflect the adoption of a new accounting
principle. In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No.&nbsp;2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic&nbsp;220): Presentation of
Comprehensive Income" ("ASU No.&nbsp;2011-05"). ASU No.&nbsp;2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders' equity.
ASU No.&nbsp;2011-05 requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous
statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. We adopted ASU No.&nbsp;2011-05, as amended by ASU No.&nbsp;2011-12, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of
the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No.&nbsp;2011-05," during the first
quarter of fiscal 2013. The following selected financial information revises our annual information for the periods presented to apply the new presentation required by this pronouncement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Any investment in the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully
consider all of the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks and
uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations or otherwise adversely affect us.
If any of those risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected and our ability to pay dividends on,
or make other payments with respect to, the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock could be impaired, which we refer to collectively as a "material adverse effect on us," or comparable language, below. The
risks discussed below also include forward-looking statements and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See "Special Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements."  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Risks Related to our Operations  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Our revenues, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected by changes in commodity prices, as well as global and domestic economic
downturns and risks.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our revenues, results of operations and cash flows are affected by market prices for commodities such as crude oil, natural gas,
fertilizer, grain, oilseed, flour and crude and refined vegetable oils. Commodity prices generally are affected by a wide range of factors beyond our control, including weather, disease, insect
damage, drought, the availability and adequacy of supply, government regulation and policies, and general political and economic conditions. We are also exposed to fluctuating commodity prices as the
result of our inventories of commodities, typically grain, fertilizer and petroleum products, and purchase and sale contracts at fixed or partially fixed prices. At any time, our inventory levels and
unfulfilled fixed or partially fixed price contract obligations may be substantial. We have processes in place to monitor exposures to these risks and engage in strategies to manage these risks. If
these controls and strategies are not successful in mitigating our exposure to these fluctuations, we could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, we are exposed to the risk of
nonperformance by counterparties to contracts. Risk of nonperformance by counterparties includes the inability to perform because of a counterparty's financial condition and liquidity and also the
risk that the counterparty will refuse to perform a contract during a period of price fluctuations where contract prices are significantly different than the current market prices. Increases in market
prices for commodities that we purchase without a corresponding increase in the prices of our products or our sales volume or a decrease in our other operating expenses could reduce our revenues and
net income. In addition, the level of demand for our products is affected by global and regional demographics and macroeconomic conditions, including population growth rates and changes in standards
of living. A significant downturn in global economic growth or recessionary conditions in major geographic regions, may lead to a reduced demand for agricultural commodities, which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects. Additionally, weak global conditions and adverse conditions in global financial markets
may adversely impact the financial condition and liquidity of some of our customers, suppliers and other counterparties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
revenues originated outside of the U.S. were approximately 7% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2012 and one of our core strategic initiatives includes global expansion. As a
result, we are exposed to risks associated with having increased global operations outside the U.S., including economic or political instability in the international markets in which we do business,
including South America, Asia, and Europe. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
our energy operations, profitability depends largely on the margin between the cost of crude oil that we refine and the selling prices that we obtain for our refined products.
Although the prices for crude oil reached historical highs during 2008, the prices for both crude oil and for gasoline, diesel fuel and other refined petroleum products fluctuate widely. Factors
influencing these prices, many of which are beyond our control, include:</FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
long-term effects of these and other conditions on the prices of crude oil and refined petroleum products are uncertain and ever-changing. Increases in crude oil prices without a
corresponding increase in the prices of our refined petroleum products would reduce our net income. Accordingly, we expect our margins on, and the profitability of our energy business to fluctuate,
possibly significantly, over time. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Our revenues, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected if our members were to do business with others rather than with us.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We do not have an exclusive relationship with our members and our members are not obligated to supply us with their products or
purchase products from us. Our members often have a variety of distribution outlets and product sources available to them. If our members were to sell their products to other purchasers or purchase
products from other sellers, our revenues would decline and our results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We participate in highly competitive business markets and we may not be able to continue to compete successfully, which would have a material adverse effect on us.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We operate in several highly competitive business segments and our competitors may succeed in developing new or enhanced products that
are better than ours, and may be more successful in marketing and selling their products than we are with ours. Competitive factors include price, service level, proximity to markets, product quality
and marketing. In our business segments, we compete with certain companies that are larger, better known and have greater marketing, financial, personnel and other resources. As a result, we may not
be able to continue to compete successfully with our competitors, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Changes in federal income tax laws or in our tax status could increase our tax liability and reduce our net income significantly.  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Current federal income tax laws, regulations and interpretations regarding the taxation of cooperatives, which allow us to exclude
income generated through business with or for a member (patronage income) from our taxable income, could be changed. If this occurred, or if in the future we were not eligible to be taxed as a
cooperative, our tax liability would significantly increase and our net income would significantly decrease. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We incur significant costs in complying with applicable laws and regulations. Any failure to make the capital investments necessary to comply with these laws and regulations
could expose us to unanticipated expenditures and liabilities.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are subject to numerous federal, state and local provisions regulating our business and operations and we incur and expect to incur
significant capital and operating expenses to comply with these laws and regulations. We may be unable to pass on those expenses to customers without experiencing volume and margin losses. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
establish reserves for the future cost of known compliance obligations, such as remediation of identified environmental issues. However, these reserves may prove inadequate to meet
our actual liability. Moreover, amended, new or more stringent requirements, stricter interpretations of existing requirements or the future discovery of currently unknown compliance issues may
require us to make material expenditures or subject us to liabilities that we currently do not anticipate. Furthermore, our failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could subject us to
administrative penalties and injunctive relief, civil remedies, including fines and injunctions, and recalls of our products. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Changing environmental and energy laws and regulation, may result in increased operating costs and capital expenditures and may have a material and adverse effect on us.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;New environmental laws and regulations, including new regulations relating to alternative energy sources and the risk of global
climate change, new interpretations of existing laws and regulations, increased governmental enforcement or other developments could require us to make additional unforeseen expenditures. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It
is possible that some form of regulation will be forthcoming at the federal level in the United States with respect to emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) (including carbon dioxide,
methane and nitrous oxides). Also, new federal or state legislation or regulatory programs that restrict emissions of GHGs in areas where we conduct business could adversely affect our operations and
demand for our energy products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects. New legislation or regulator programs
could require substantial expenditures for the installation and operation of systems and equipment that we do not currently possess or substantial modifications to existing equipment. The actual
effects of climate change on our businesses are, however, unknown and undeterminable at this time. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant
to the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, the EPA has promulgated the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), which requires refiners to blend renewable fuels, such as
ethanol and biodiesel, with their petroleum fuels or purchase renewable energy credits, known as RINs, in lieu of blending. The EPA generally establishes new annual renewable fuel percentage standards
for each compliance year in the preceding year. We generate RINs in our marketing operations under the RFS, however it is not enough to meet the needs of our refining capacity and RINs must be
purchased on the open market. Recently the price of RINs has been extremely volatile with prices increasing. As a result, the purchase of RINs could have a negative impact on our future refined fuels
margins, the impact of which we are not able to estimate at this time. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Governmental policies and regulation affecting the agricultural sector and related industries could have a material adverse effect on us.  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The compliance burden and impact on our operations and profitability as a result of the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act and related regulations are currently unknown, as the Dodd-Frank Act delegates to various federal agencies the task of implementing its many provisions through regulation.
These efforts to change the regulation
of financial markets may subject users of derivatives, such as CHS, to extensive oversight and regulation by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Such initiatives could impose
significant additional costs on us, including operating and compliance costs, and could materially affect the availability, as well as the cost and terms, of certain transactions. New federal
regulations, studies and reports addressing all of the major areas of the new law, including the regulation of swaps and derivatives, are in the process of being finalized and adopted and we will
continue to monitor these developments. Any of these matters could have material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Environmental liabilities could have a material adverse effect on us.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Many of our current and former facilities have been in operation for many years and, over that time, we and other operators of those
facilities have generated, used, stored and disposed of substances or wastes that are or might be considered hazardous under applicable environmental laws, including liquid fertilizers, chemicals and
fuels stored in underground and above-ground tanks. Any past or future actions in violation of applicable environmental laws could subject us to administrative penalties, fines, other costs, such as
capital expenditures, and injunctions. In addition, an owner or operator of contaminated property, and a party who sends hazardous materials to such site for treatment, storage, disposal or recycling,
can be liable for the cost of investigation and remediation under environmental laws. In some instances, such liability exists regardless of fault. Moreover, future or unknown past releases of
hazardous substances could subject us to private lawsuits claiming damages, including for bodily injury or property damage, and to adverse publicity, which would have a material adverse effect on us.
Liabilities, including legal costs, related to remediation of contaminated properties are not recognized until the related costs are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Actual or perceived quality, safety or health risks associated with our products could subject us to significant liability and damage our business and reputation.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If any of our food or feed products became adulterated or misbranded, we would need to recall those items and could experience product
liability claims if consumers were injured as a result. A widespread product recall or a significant product liability judgment could cause our products to be unavailable for a period of time or a
loss of consumer confidence in our products. Even if a product liability claim is unsuccessful or is not fully pursued, the negative publicity surrounding any assertion that our products caused
illness or injury could adversely affect our business and reputation with existing and potential customers and our corporate and brand image. Moreover, claims or liabilities of this sort might not be
covered by our insurance or by any rights of indemnity or contribution that we may have against others. In addition, general public perceptions regarding the quality, safety or health risks associated
with particular food or feed products, such as concerns regarding genetically modified crops, could reduce demand and prices for some of the products associated with our businesses. To the extent that
consumer preferences evolve away from products that our members or we produce for health or other reasons, such as the growing demand for organic food products, and we are unable to develop products
that satisfy new consumer preferences, there will be a
decreased demand for our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Many of our business activities are highly seasonal and operating results vary throughout the year. Our income is generally lowest
during the second fiscal quarter and highest during the third fiscal quarter. For example, in our Ag segment, our crop nutrients and country operations businesses generally experience higher volumes
and income during the spring planting season and in the fall, which corresponds to harvest. Our grain marketing operations are also subject to fluctuations in volume and income based on producer
harvests, world grain prices and demand. Our Energy segment generally experiences higher volumes and income in certain operating areas, such as refined products, in the summer and early fall when
gasoline and diesel fuel usage is highest and is subject to global supply and demand forces. Other energy products, such as propane, may experience higher volumes and income during the winter heating
and crop drying seasons. </FONT></P>

among purchasers of our products and in wholesale and retail distribution channels has resulted in a smaller customer base for our products and intensified the competition
for these customers. For example, ongoing consolidation among distributors and brokers of food products and food retailers has altered the buying patterns of these businesses, as they have
increasingly elected to work with product suppliers who can meet their needs nationwide rather than just regionally or locally. If these distributors, brokers and retailers elect not to purchase our
products, our revenues, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Numerous alternative energy sources currently under development could serve as alternatives to our gasoline, diesel fuel and other
refined petroleum products. If any of these alternative products become more economically viable or preferable to our products for environmental or other reasons, demand for our energy products would
decline. Demand for our gasoline, diesel fuel and other refined petroleum products also could be adversely affected by increased fuel efficiencies. Declining demand for our energy products could

that we provide. Genetically engineered seeds that resist disease and insects, or that meet certain nutritional requirements, could affect the demand for our crop nutrients and crop protection

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> If you are able to resell your Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock, many factors may affect the price you receive, which may be lower than your original purchase price or lower

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As with other publicly traded securities, many factors could affect the market price of your Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock. In
addition to those factors relating to CHS and the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock described elsewhere in this "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in this prospectus, the market price of our
Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock could be affected by conditions in, and perceptions of, agricultural and energy markets and companies and also by broader, general market, political and economic
conditions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Furthermore,
U.S. stock markets have experienced price and volume volatility that has affected many companies' stock prices, often for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of
those companies. Fluctuations such as these also may affect the market price of your Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock. As a result of these factors, you may only be able to sell your Class&nbsp;B
Preferred Stock at a price below your original purchase price or below the price you believe to be appropriate. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We estimate that the net proceeds from our sale of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock will be approximately $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;, or
approximately $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses payable by us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
intend to use the net proceeds of this offering, in combination with other available funds, for general corporate purposes, which may include funding potential acquisitions, funding
the replacement of a coker at one of our refineries with an expected total cost of $555.0&nbsp;million and expected completion in fiscal 2015, with $131.7&nbsp;million expended as of
May&nbsp;31, 2013, or funding a $327.0&nbsp;million expansion at NCRA's McPherson, Kansas refinery which is anticipated to be completed in fiscal 2016. We have not yet determined with certainty
the manner in which we will allocate these net proceeds. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on the judgment of
our management regarding the application of the proceeds of this offering. The amounts and timing of these expenditures will vary depending upon a number of factors, including future growth from
acquisitions, cash generated from future operations and actual expenses to operate our business. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pending

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are one of the nation's leading integrated agricultural companies. As a cooperative, we are owned by farmers and ranchers and their
member cooperatives (referred to herein as "members") across the United States. We also have preferred stockholders that own shares of our 8% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, which is listed on
the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol CHSCP. On May&nbsp;31, 2013, we had 12,272,003 shares of 8% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding. We buy commodities from and provide
products and services to patrons (including our members and other non-member customers), both domestic and international. We provide a wide variety of products and services, from initial agricultural
inputs such as fuels, farm supplies, crop nutrients and crop protection products, to agricultural outputs that include grains and oilseeds, grain and oilseed processing and food products. A portion of
our operations are conducted through equity investments and joint ventures whose operating results are not fully consolidated with our results; rather, a proportionate share of the income or loss from
those entities is included as a component in our net income under the equity method of accounting. For the fiscal year ended August&nbsp;31, 2012, our total revenues were $40.6&nbsp;billion and
net income attributable to CHS&nbsp;Inc. was $1.3&nbsp;billion. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have aligned our segments based on an assessment of how our businesses operate and the products and services they sell. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
Energy segment derives its revenues through refining, wholesaling and retailing of petroleum products. Our Ag segment derives its revenues through the origination and marketing of
grain, including service activities conducted at export terminals, through the wholesale sales of crop nutrients, from the sales of soybean meal and soybean refined oil and through the retail sales of
petroleum and agronomy products, processed sunflowers, feed and farm supplies, and records equity income from investments in our grain export joint venture and other investments. We include other
business operations in Corporate and Other because of the nature of their products and services, as well as the relative revenues of those businesses. These businesses primarily include our financing,
insurance, hedging and other service activities related to crop production. In addition, our wheat milling and packaged food operations are included in Corporate and Other, as those businesses are
conducted through non-consolidated joint ventures. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Many
of our business activities are highly seasonal and operating results vary throughout the year. Our income is generally lowest during the second fiscal quarter and highest during
the third fiscal quarter. For example, in our Ag segment, our crop nutrients and country operations businesses generally experience higher volumes and income during the spring planting season and in
the fall, which corresponds to harvest. Our grain marketing operations are also subject to fluctuations in volume and earnings based on producer harvests, world grain prices and demand. Our Energy
segment generally experiences higher volumes and profitability in certain operating areas, such as refined products, in the summer and early fall when gasoline and diesel fuel usage is highest and is
subject to global supply and demand forces. Other energy products, such as propane, may experience higher volumes and profitability during the winter heating and crop drying seasons. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Membership
in CHS is restricted to certain producers of agricultural products and to associations of producers of agricultural products that are organized and operating so as to adhere
to the provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Act and the Capper-Volstead Act, as amended. Our Board of Directors may establish other qualifications for membership from time to time as it may deem
advisable. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
earnings from cooperative business are allocated to members (and to a limited extent, to non-members with which we have agreed to do business on a patronage basis) based on the
volume of business they do with us. We allocate these earnings to our patrons in the form of patronage refunds (which are also called patronage dividends) in cash and patrons' equities (capital equity
certificates), which may be redeemed over time solely at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Earnings derived </FONT></P>

the merger of those two entities in 1998, and is headquartered in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are the nation's largest cooperative energy company based on revenues and identifiable assets, with operations that include
petroleum refining and pipelines; the supply, marketing (including ethanol and biodiesel) and distribution of refined fuels (gasoline, diesel fuel and other energy products); the blending, sale and
distribution of lubricants; and the wholesale supply of propane. Our Energy segment processes crude oil into refined petroleum products at refineries in Laurel, Montana (wholly-owned) and McPherson,
Kansas (an entity in which we currently have an approximate 79.2% ownership interest) and sells those products under the Cenex&reg; brand to member cooperatives and others through a network of
approximately 1,350 independent retail sites, of which 75% are convenience stores marketing Cenex&reg; branded fuels. For fiscal 2012, our Energy revenues, after elimination of inter-segment
revenues, were $12.3&nbsp;billion and were primarily from gasoline and diesel fuel. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Laurel Refinery.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Laurel, Montana refinery processes medium and high sulfur crude oil into
refined petroleum products that primarily include
gasoline, diesel fuel, petroleum coke and asphalt. Our Laurel refinery sources approximately 85% of its crude oil supply from Canada, with the balance obtained from domestic sources, and we have
access to Canadian and northwest Montana crude through our wholly-owned Front Range Pipeline,&nbsp;LLC and other common carrier pipelines. Our Laurel refinery also has access to Wyoming crude via
common carrier pipelines from the south. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
Laurel facility processes approximately 55,000 barrels of crude oil per day to produce refined products that consist of approximately 43% gasoline, 37% diesel fuel and other
distillates, 6% petroleum coke, and 12% asphalt and other products. Refined fuels produced at Laurel are available via the Yellowstone Pipeline to western Montana terminals and to Spokane and Moses
Lake, Washington, south via common carrier pipelines to Wyoming terminals and Denver, Colorado, and east via our wholly-owned Cenex Pipeline,&nbsp;LLC to Glendive, Montana, and Minot and Fargo,
North Dakota. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;McPherson Refinery.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The McPherson, Kansas refinery is owned and operated by NCRA, of which we owned
approximately 74.5% as of August&nbsp;31,
2012. In fiscal 2012, we entered into agreements with the noncontrolling equity holders of NCRA to acquire their shares through annual installments. Our ownership increased to approximately 79.2% in
September 2012 upon the first closing. Upon the final payment on September&nbsp;1, 2015, we will own 100% of the equity in NCRA. The McPherson refinery processes approximately 79% low and medium
sulfur crude oil and 21% heavy sulfur crude oil into gasoline, diesel fuel and other distillates, propane and other products. NCRA sources its crude oil through its own pipelines as well as common
carrier pipelines. The low and medium sulfur crude oil is sourced from Kansas, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Texas, and the heavy sulfur crude oil is sourced from Canada. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
McPherson refinery processes approximately 85,000 barrels of crude oil per day to produce refined products that consist of approximately 50% gasoline, 44% diesel fuel and other
distillates, and 6% propane and other products. Approximately 32% of the refined fuels are loaded into trucks at the McPherson refinery or shipped via NCRA's proprietary products pipeline to its
terminal in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The remaining refined fuel products are shipped to other markets via common carrier pipelines. </FONT></P>

refined product terminals and three lubricants
blending and packaging facilities. We also own and lease a fleet of liquid and pressure trailers and tractors, which are used to transport refined fuels, propane, anhydrous ammonia and other products. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Products and Services  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Energy segment produces and sells (primarily wholesale) gasoline, diesel fuel, propane, asphalt, lubricants and other related
products and provides transportation services. We obtain the petroleum products that we sell from our Laurel and McPherson refineries, and from third parties. For fiscal 2012, we obtained
approximately 58% of the refined products we sold from our Laurel and McPherson refineries, and approximately 42% from third parties. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We make approximately 77% of our refined fuel sales to members, with the balance sold to non-members. Sales are made wholesale to
member cooperatives and through a network of independent retailers that operate convenience stores under the Cenex tradename. We sold approximately 1.2&nbsp;billion gallons of gasoline and
approximately 1.8&nbsp;billion gallons of diesel fuel in fiscal 2012, excluding NCRA's sales to minority owners and others totaling approximately 349&nbsp;million gallons. We also blend, package
and wholesale auto and farm machinery lubricants to both members and non-members. We are one of the nation's largest propane wholesalers based on revenues. Most of the propane sold in rural areas is
for heating and agricultural usage. Annual sales volumes of propane vary greatly depending on weather patterns and crop conditions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Industry; Competition  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The petroleum business is highly cyclical. Demand for crude oil and energy products is driven by the condition of local and worldwide
economies, local and regional weather patterns and taxation relative to other energy sources, which can significantly affect the price of refined fuel products. Most of our energy product market is
located in rural areas, so sales activity tends to follow the planting and harvesting cycles. More fuel-efficient equipment, reduced crop tillage, depressed prices for crops, </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Regulation.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Governmental regulations and policies, particularly in the areas of taxation, energy and
the environment, have a significant impact on
our Energy segment. Our Energy segment's operations are subject to laws and related regulations and rules designed to protect the environment that are administered by the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), the Department of Transportation (DOT) and similar government agencies. These laws, regulations and rules govern the discharge of materials to the environment, air and water; reporting
storage of hazardous wastes and other hazardous materials; the transportation, handling and disposition of wastes and other materials; the labeling of pesticides and similar substances; and
investigation and remediation of releases of hazardous materials. Failure to comply with these laws, regulations and rules could subject us (and, in the case of the McPherson refinery, NCRA) to
administrative penalties, fines, other costs, such as capital expenditures, injunctive relief, civil remedies and possible recalls of products. In addition, environmental laws impose liability on
owners and operators of contaminated property, and a party who sends hazardous materials to such site for treatment, storage, disposal or recycling, for investigation and remediation. In some
instances, such liability exists regardless of fault. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Like
many other refineries, our Energy segment's refineries recently focused their capital spending on reducing pollution emissions and, at the same time, increasing production to help
pay for those expenditures. In particular, our refineries have completed work to comply with the EPA low sulfur fuel regulations that were required by 2006, which lowered the sulfur content of
gasoline and diesel fuel. The EPA also passed a regulation that required the reduction of the benzene level in gasoline to be less than 0.62% volume by January&nbsp;1, 2011. As a result of this
regulation, our refineries have incurred capital expenditures to reduce the current gasoline benzene levels to meet the new regulated levels. Our combined capital expenditures for benzene removal for
our Laurel, Montana refinery and the NCRA refinery in McPherson, Kansas were approximately $95.0&nbsp;million for the projects. Approximately
$19.0&nbsp;million and $43.0&nbsp;million of expenditures were incurred during our fiscal years ended August&nbsp;31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Both refineries were producing gasoline within
the regulated benzene levels as of January 2011. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Competition.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The petroleum refining and wholesale fuels business is very competitive. Among our
competitors are some of the world's largest
integrated petroleum companies, which have their own crude oil supplies, distribution and marketing systems. We also compete with smaller domestic refiners and marketers in the midwestern and
northwestern United States, with foreign refiners who import products into the United States and with producers and marketers in other industries supplying other forms of energy and fuels to
consumers. Given the commodity nature of the end products, profitability in the refining and marketing industry depends largely on margins, as well as operating efficiency, product mix and costs of
product distribution and transportation. The retail gasoline market is highly competitive, with much larger competitors that have greater brand recognition and distribution outlets throughout the
country and the world. Our owned and non-owned retail outlets are located primarily in the northwestern, midwestern and southern United States. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
market refined fuels, motor gasoline and distillate products in five principal geographic areas. The first area includes the midwest and northern plains. Competition at the wholesale
level in this area includes major oil companies, including Phillips, Valero and BP Amoco; independent refiners, including Flint Hills Resources and CVR Energy; and wholesale brokers/suppliers,
including Western Petroleum Company. This area has a robust spot market and is influenced by the large refinery center along the gulf coast. The majority of the product moved in this market is shipped
on the Magellan and NuStar pipeline systems. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To
the east of the midwest and northern plains is another unique marketing area. This area centers near Chicago, Illinois and includes eastern Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana. CHS

market area is located south of Chicago, Illinois. Most of this area includes Arkansas, Missouri and the northern part of Texas. Competition in this area includes the major oil
companies Phillips, Valero and ExxonMobil and independent refiners, including Delek US Holdings. This area is principally supplied from the Gulf coast refinery center and is also driven by a strong
spot market that reacts quickly to changes in the international and national supply balance. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Another
geographic area includes Montana, western North Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Colorado and western South Dakota. Competition at the wholesale level in this area includes the
major oil companies ExxonMobil and Phillips and independent refiners, including HollyFrontier Corporation and Sinclair Oil Corporation. This area is also noted for being fairly well balanced in demand
and supply, but has in recent times been impacted by the large growth of demand from the Bakken crude activity in this region. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In fiscal 2012, we began a project to replace a coker at one of our refineries with an expected total cost of $555.0&nbsp;million
and expected completion in fiscal 2015, of which $131.7&nbsp;million has been expended as of May&nbsp;31, 2013. In fiscal 2013, we began a $327.0&nbsp;million expansion at NCRA's McPherson,
Kansas refinery, which is anticipated to be completed in fiscal 2016. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe our North America wholesale crop nutrients business is one of the largest wholesale fertilizer businesses in the U.S. based
on tons sold and accounts for approximately 11% of the U.S. market. Tons sold include sales to our country operations business. There is significant seasonality in the sale of agronomy products and
services, with peak activity coinciding with the planting seasons. There is also significant volatility in the prices for the crop nutrient products we purchase and sell. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Products are delivered directly to the customer from the manufacturer or through our 16 inland or river warehouse terminals and other
non-owned storage facilities located throughout the country. In addition, to supplement what is purchased domestically, our Galveston, Texas deep water port and terminal receives fertilizer by vessel
from originations such as the Middle East and Caribbean basin where significant volumes of urea are produced. The fertilizer is then shipped by rail to destinations within crop producing regions of
the country. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Primary
suppliers for our wholesale crop nutrients business include CF Industries, Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan, Mosaic Company, Koch Industries and Petrochemical Industries
Company (PIC) in Kuwait. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our grain marketing operations purchases grain directly and indirectly from agricultural producers primarily in the midwestern and
western United States. The purchased grain is typically contracted for sale for future delivery at a specified location, and we are responsible for handling the grain and arranging for its
transportation to that location. The sale of grain is recorded after title to the commodity has transferred and final weights, grades and settlement price have been agreed upon. Amounts billed to the
customer as part of a sales transaction include the costs for shipping and handling. Our ability to arrange efficient transportation, including loading capabilities onto unit trains, ocean-going
vessels and barges, is a significant part of the services we offer to our customers. Rail, vessel, barge and truck transportation is carried out by third parties, often under long-term freight
agreements with us. Grain intended for export is usually shipped by rail or barge to an export terminal, where it is loaded onto ocean-going vessels. Grain intended for domestic use is usually shipped
by rail or truck to various locations throughout the country. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
own and operate export terminals, river terminals and elevators involved in the handling and transport of grain. Our river terminals are used to load grain onto barges for shipment
to both domestic and export customers via the Mississippi River system. These river terminals are located at Savage and Winona, Minnesota and Davenport, Iowa, as well as terminals in which we have

recognized a pre-tax gain of $119.7&nbsp;million from the sale. During fiscal 2012, we used $26.7&nbsp;million of the proceeds from our sale of Multigrain for investment opportunities in South

Competition is intense and margins are low. Some
competitors are integrated food producers, which may also be customers. A few major competitors have substantially greater financial resources than us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
the purchase of grain from producers, location of a delivery facility is a prime consideration, but producers are increasingly willing to transport grain longer distances for sale.
Price is affected by the capabilities of the facility; for example, if it is cheaper to deliver to a customer by unit train than by truck, a facility with unit train capabilities provides a price
advantage. We believe that our relationships with individual members serviced by our local country operations locations and with our cooperative members give us a broad origination capability. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
grain marketing operations compete for grain sales based on price, services and ability to provide the desired quantity and quality of grains. Location of facilities is a major
factor in the ability to compete. Our grain marketing operations compete with numerous grain merchandisers, including major grain merchandising companies such as ADM, Cargill, Bunge, Glencore, Noble,
Marubeni and Louis Dreyfus, each of which handles significant grain volumes. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
results of our grain marketing operations may be adversely affected by relative levels of supply and demand, both domestic and international, commodity price levels (including grain
prices reported on national markets) and transportation costs and conditions. Supply is affected by weather conditions, disease, insect damage, acreage planted and government regulations and policies.
Demand may be affected by foreign governments and their programs, relationships of foreign countries with the United States, the affluence of foreign countries, acts of war, currency exchange
fluctuations and substitution of commodities. Demand may also be affected by changes in eating habits, population growth, the level of per capita consumption of some products and the level of
renewable fuels production. </FONT></P>

that can crush approximately 107&nbsp;million bushels of soybeans on an annual basis, producing approximately 2.5&nbsp;million short tons of soybean meal/soyflour and 1.2&nbsp;billion pounds of

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our processing operations produce three primary products: refined oils, soybean meal and soyflour. Refined oils are used in processed
foods, such as margarine, shortening, salad dressings and baked goods, as well as methyl ester/biodiesel production, and to a lesser extent, for certain industrial uses such as plastics, inks and
paints. Soybean meal has high protein content and is
used for feeding livestock. Soyflour is used in the baking industry, as a milk replacement in animal feed and in industrial applications. Soyflour is processed further to produce textured concentrates
and isolates used in the food/snack industry. We produce approximately 162&nbsp;thousand tons of soyflour annually and approximately 45% is further processed at our protein manufacturing facilities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
domestic soy processing facilities are located in areas with a strong production base of soybeans and end-user market for the meal and soyflour. We purchase our soybeans from
members, global offices and third parties with a tight integrated connection with our Grain Marketing division. Our crushing operations currently produce approximately 95% of the crude soybean oil
that we refine, and purchase the balance from outside suppliers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Soybeans
are a commodity and their price can fluctuate significantly depending on production levels, demand for the products and other supply factors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The refined soybean products industry is highly competitive. Major industry competitors include ADM, Cargill, Ag
Processing&nbsp;Inc. and Bunge. These and other competitors have acquired other processors, expanded existing plants or constructed new plants, both domestically and internationally. Price,

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In January 2002, we formed a joint venture with Cargill named Horizon Milling,&nbsp;LLC (Horizon Milling), in which we hold an
ownership interest of 24%, with Cargill owning the remaining 76%. Horizon Milling is the largest U.S. wheat miller based on output volume. We own five mills that we lease to Horizon Milling. During
fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, we invested $3.0&nbsp;million, $3.1&nbsp;million and $2.1&nbsp;million, respectively, in Horizon Milling. Sales and purchases of wheat and durum by us to Horizon
Milling during fiscal 2012 were $426.3&nbsp;million and $22.5&nbsp;million, respectively. Horizon Milling's advance payments on grain to us were $11.4&nbsp;million on August&nbsp;31, 2012, and
are included in customer advance payments on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The customer advance payments balance has not changed materially since August&nbsp;31, 2012. We account for Horizon
Milling using the equity method of accounting and on August&nbsp;31, 2012, our investment was $78.4&nbsp;million. On August&nbsp;31, 2012, our net book value of assets leased to Horizon Milling
was $49.6&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
fiscal 2007, we formed Horizon Milling&nbsp;G.P. (24% CHS ownership with Cargill owning the remaining 76%), a joint venture that acquired a Canadian grain-based foodservice and
industrial business, which includes two flour milling operations and two dry baking mixing facilities in Canada. During fiscal 2010, we invested $0.4&nbsp;million in Horizon Milling&nbsp;G.P. We
account for the investment using the equity method of accounting, and on August&nbsp;31, 2012, our investment was $16.7&nbsp;million. On March&nbsp;4, 2013, we entered into a definitive
agreement with Cargill and ConAgra Foods,&nbsp;Inc. to form Ardent Mills, a joint venture combining the North American flour milling operations of the three parent companies, including the Horizon
Milling,&nbsp;LLC and Horizon Milling&nbsp;G.P. assets, with CHS holding a 12% interest. Upon closing, Ardent Mills is expected to be financed with funds from third-party borrowings, which would
not require credit support from the owners. The borrowings are anticipated to be no less than $600&nbsp;million with proceeds distributed to each owner in proportion to the ownership interests,
adjusted for any deviations in specified working capital target amounts. The transaction is expected to close in our fiscal 2014, subject to financing and certain other customary closing conditions.
In connection with the closing, the parties will also enter into various ancillary and non-compete agreements, including, among other things, an agreement for CHS to supply Ardent Mills with certain
wheat and durum products. </FONT></P>

Agriliance investment, using the equity method of accounting, within Corporate and Other. Prior to September&nbsp;1, 2007, Agriliance was a wholesale and retail crop nutrients and crop protection
products company. In September 2007, Agriliance distributed the assets of the crop nutrients business to us, and the assets of the crop protection business to Land O'Lakes. Agriliance has ceased its
business activities and primarily holds long-term liabilities. During the years ended August&nbsp;31, 2011 and 2010, we received $28.0&nbsp;million and $105.0&nbsp;million, respectively, of cash
distributions from Agriliance as returns of capital for proceeds from the sale of many of the Agriliance retail facilities, and the collection of receivables. We have not received any cash
distributions from Agriliance since the year ended August&nbsp;31, 2011. We recorded pre-tax gains of $9.0&nbsp;million and $28.4&nbsp;million during fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively, related

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> <U>PRICE RISK AND HEDGING</U>  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When we enter into a commodity purchase or sales commitment, we incur risks related to price change and performance (including
delivery, quality, quantity and shipment period). We are exposed to risk of loss in the market value of positions held, consisting of inventory and purchase contracts at a fixed or partially fixed
price, in the event market prices decrease. We are also exposed to risk of loss on our fixed or partially fixed price sales contracts in the event market prices increase. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
hedging activities reduce the effects of price volatility, thereby protecting against adverse short-term price movements, but also limit the benefits of short-term price movements.
To reduce the price change risks associated with holding fixed price commitments, we generally take opposite and offsetting positions by entering into commodity futures contracts or options, to the
extent practical, in order to arrive at a net commodity position within the formal position limits we have established and deemed prudent for each commodity. These contracts are purchased and sold on
regulated commodity futures exchanges for grain, and regulated mercantile exchanges for refined products and crude oil. We also use over-the-counter (OTC) instruments to hedge our exposure on flat
price fluctuations. The price risk we encounter for crude oil and most of the grain and oilseed volume we handle can be hedged. Price risk associated with fertilizer and certain grains cannot be
hedged because there are no futures for these commodities and, as a result, risk is managed through the use of forward sales contracts and other pricing arrangements and, to some extent,
cross-commodity futures hedging. These contracts are economic hedges of price risk, but are not designated or accounted for as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, with the exception of some
contracts in our Energy segment </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>which
were previously accounted for as cash flow hedges. The contracts are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair values based on quotes listed on regulated commodity exchanges or are
based on the market prices of the underlying products listed on the exchanges, with the exception of fertilizer and propane contracts, which are accounted for as normal purchase and normal sales
transactions. Unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in cost of goods sold in our Consolidated Statements of Operations using market-based prices. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When
a futures contract is entered into, an initial margin deposit must be sent to the applicable exchange or broker. The amount of the deposit is set by the exchange and varies by
commodity. If the market price of a short futures contract increases, then an additional maintenance margin deposit would be required. Similarly, if the price of a long futures contract decreases, a
maintenance margin deposit would be required and sent to the applicable exchange. Subsequent price changes could require additional maintenance margins or could result in the return of maintenance
margins. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
policy is to primarily maintain hedged positions in grain and oilseed. Our profitability from operations is primarily derived from margins on products sold and grain merchandised,
not from hedging transactions. At any one time, inventory and purchase contracts for delivery to us may be substantial. We have risk management policies and procedures that include net position
limits. These limits are defined for each commodity and include both trader and management limits. This policy and computerized procedures in our grain marketing operations require a review by
operations management when any trader is outside of position limits and also a review by our senior management if operating areas are outside of position limits. A similar process is used in our
energy and wholesale crop nutrients operations. The position limits are reviewed, at least annually, with our management and Board of Directors. We monitor current market conditions and may expand or
reduce our net position limits or procedures in response to changes in those conditions. In addition, all purchase and sales contracts are subject to credit approvals and appropriate terms and
conditions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hedging
arrangements do not protect against nonperformance by counterparties to contracts. We primarily use exchange traded instruments, which minimize our counterparty exposure. We
evaluate that exposure by reviewing contracts and adjusting the values to reflect potential nonperformance. Risk of nonperformance by counterparties includes the inability to perform because of a
counterparty's financial condition and liquidity and also the risk that the counterparty will refuse to perform on a contract during periods of price fluctuations where contract prices are
significantly different than the current market prices. We manage our risks by entering into fixed price purchase and sales contracts with preapproved producers and by establishing appropriate limits
for individual suppliers. Fixed price contracts are entered into with customers of acceptable creditworthiness, as internally evaluated. Historically, we have not experienced significant events of
nonperformance on open contracts. Accordingly, we only adjust the estimated fair values of specifically identified contracts for nonperformance. Although we have established policies and procedures,
we make no assurances that historical nonperformance experience will carry forward to future periods. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On November&nbsp;21, 2009, a late-night fire destroyed a shop, a warehouse containing some feed, seed, and agronomy products, and
part of the office at the Malta, Montana branch of Milk River Cooperative, a CHS-owned facility. Our local staff worked with local emergency officials to respond in a timely manner in keeping with
accepted protocols and in what all parties believed was in the best interests of community health and safety and to eliminate any environmental impact. There were no injuries and the fire was
extinguished in a short period of time. We promptly notified both the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and the Montana Department of Emergency Services. All remediation work was overseen by
West Central Environmental Consultants and completed under the supervision of the Montana Department of Environmental Quality. Follow-up review by the EPA regulators determined that, while we had
notified the required state agencies, notification was not made to the National Response Center as mandated for events in which there is a chemical release. This situation resulted from an
inadvertent, unintentional human error related to a technical reporting requirement. </FONT></P>

District Court for the District of Montana. Under the terms of the plea agreement, we agreed to enter a guilty plea to one count of failure to report a release of a reportable quantity of a hazardous
substance, a violation of the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). In addition, we agreed to pay a $500,000 fine and, as part of the plea agreement,
agreed to contribute an additional $50,000 to the Malta Fire Department for equipment that would assist the fire department in fighting future fires in its community. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On August&nbsp;30, 2012, we received from the EPA a request for information pursuant to Section&nbsp;114 of the Clean Air Act. The
information requested relates to operational information and design data for flares at our Laurel, Montana refinery for the period from January&nbsp;1, 2006 to present. The information request could
potentially result in an enforcement action by the EPA with respect to flare efficiency or other issues. We provided the requested information in December 2012 and are awaiting the EPA's response. As
it is too early to determine the potential liability or extent of potential costs associated with any such action, we have not recorded a liability associated with this request. While the facts and
circumstances of enforcement actions under the Clean Air Act relating to flares at refineries differ on a case-by-case basis, some refineries have incurred significant penalties and other costs in
connection with such enforcement actions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In May 2013, we initiated a voluntary recall of certain soy protein products produced at our Ashdod, Israel facility following one
customer's report to us of a positive test result for salmonella in product purchased from us. We notified applicable food safety regulators, including the Israel Ministry of Health and the U.S. Food

to conduct a voluntary recall. We have received no reports of salmonella-related illness in relation to the recalled products. We estimate our range of loss associated with this recall
to be between $15.5&nbsp;million and $65.0&nbsp;million. In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded a reserve of $15.5&nbsp;million, which is the minimum amount in the range, as no amount
within the range is a better estimate than any other. We maintain product liability and general liability insurance (which includes product liability coverage), which we believe is sufficient to
offset most related product liability expenses. However, as of May&nbsp;31, 2013, no insurance recoveries have been recorded related to this incident. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Introduction  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are an agricultural membership cooperative organized under Minnesota cooperative law to do business with member and non-member
patrons. Our patrons, not us, are subject to income taxes on income from patronage sources, which is distributed to them. We are subject to income taxes on undistributed patronage income and
non-patronage-sourced income. See "&#151;Tax Treatment" below. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Distribution of Net Income; Patronage Dividends  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are required by our organizational documents annually to distribute net earnings derived from patronage business with members to
members on the basis of patronage, except that our Board of Directors may elect to retain and add to our unallocated capital reserve an amount not to exceed 10% of the distributable net income from
patronage business. We may also distribute net income derived from patronage business with a non-member if we have agreed to conduct business with the non-member on a patronage basis. Net income from
non-patronage business may be distributed to members or added to the unallocated capital reserve, in whatever proportions our Board of Directors deems appropriate. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These
distributions, referred to as "patronage dividends," may be made in cash, patrons' equities, revolving fund certificates, our securities, securities of others or any combination
designated by our Board of Directors. Beginning in fiscal 2006 through fiscal 2010, our Board of Directors approved the distributed patronage dividends to be in the form of 35% cash and 65% patrons'
equities (see "&#151;Patrons' Equities" below). For fiscal 2011 and 2012, our Board of Directors approved the distributed patronage dividends to be in the form of 35% cash and 65% patrons'
equity for individuals and 40% cash and 60% patrons' equity for non-individuals. In addition, our Board of Directors authorized, in accordance with our bylaws, that 10% of the earnings from patronage
business for fiscal 2011 and 2012, be added to our capital reserves. Our Board of Directors may change the mix in the form of the patronage dividends in the future. In making distributions, our Board
of Directors may use any method of allocation that, in its judgment, is reasonable and equitable. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Patronage
dividends distributed during the years ended August&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, were $676.3&nbsp;million ($260.7&nbsp;million in cash), $402.4&nbsp;million

distributions of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of CHS, whether voluntary or involuntary, the 8% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ranks prior to: (i)&nbsp;any patronage
refund; (ii)&nbsp;any other class or series of our capital stock designated by our Board of Directors as junior to the preferred stock; and (iii)&nbsp;our common stock, if any. Shares of any class
or series of our capital stock that are not junior to the 8% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, including the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock, rank equally with the 8% Cumulative Redeemable

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
may, at our option, at any time on or after July&nbsp;18, 2023, redeem the 8% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, for cash at a redemption
price of $25.00 per share plus all dividends accumulated and unpaid on that share to and including the date of redemption. We have no current plan or intention to redeem the 8% Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Stock. In the event of a change in control initiated by our Board of Directors, holders of the 8% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock will have the right, for a period of 90&nbsp;days
from the date of the change in control, to require us to repurchase their shares of 8% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at a price of $25.00 per share plus all dividends accumulated and unpaid on
that share to and including the date of redemption. The 8% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock is not exchangeable for or convertible into any other shares of our capital stock or any other
securities or property and is not subject to the operation of any purchase, retirement or sinking fund. Holders of the 8% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock do not have voting rights, except as
required by applicable law; provided, that the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding 8% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock will be required to approve (i)&nbsp;any amendment to our
articles of incorporation or the resolutions

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Patrons' equities are in the form of book entries and represent a right to receive cash or other property when we redeem them.
Patrons' equities form part of our capital, do not bear interest, and are not subject to redemption upon request of a member. Patrons' equities are redeemable only at the discretion of our Board of
Directors and in accordance with the terms of the redemption policy adopted by our Board of Directors, which may be modified at any time without member consent. Redemptions of capital equity
certificates approved by our Board of Directors are divided into two pools, one for non-individuals (primarily member cooperatives) who may participate in an annual program for equities held by them
and another for individuals who are eligible for equity redemptions at age 70 or upon death. In accordance with authorization from our Board of Directors, we expect total redemptions related to the
year ended August&nbsp;31, 2012, that will be distributed in fiscal 2013, to be approximately $196.0&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash
redemptions of patrons and other equities during the years ended August&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were $145.7&nbsp;million, $61.2&nbsp;million and $23.1&nbsp;million,
respectively. An additional $36.7&nbsp;million of equities were redeemed by issuance of shares of our 8% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock during the year ended August&nbsp;31, 2010. No
equities were redeemed by issuance of shares of our 8% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock during the years ended August&nbsp;31, 2012 and 2011. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Governance  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are managed by a Board of Directors of not less than 17 persons elected by the members at our annual meeting. Terms of directors
are staggered so that no more than seven directors are elected in any year. Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of 16 directors due to the departure of Michael Toelle on April&nbsp;3,
2013. The remaining directors will appoint a director to fill this vacancy until our next annual meeting to be held in December 2013. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws may be amended only upon
approval of a majority of the votes cast at an annual or special meeting of our members, except for the higher vote described under "&#151;Certain Antitakeover Measures" below. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Membership  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Membership in CHS is restricted to certain producers of agricultural products and to associations of producers of agricultural
products that are organized and operating so as to adhere to the provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Act and the Capper-Volstead Act, as amended. Our Board of Directors may establish other
qualifications for membership, as it may from time to time deem advisable. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a membership cooperative, we do not have common stock. We may issue equity or debt instruments, on a patronage basis or otherwise, to our members. We have two types of members.
Individual members are individuals actually engaged in the production of agricultural products. Cooperative associations are associations of agricultural producers and may be either cooperatives or
other associations organized and operated under the provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Act and the Capper-Volstead Act, as amended. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Voting Rights  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Voting rights arise by virtue of membership in CHS, not because of ownership of any equity or debt instruments. Members that are
cooperative associations are entitled to vote based upon a formula that takes into account the equity held by the cooperative in CHS and the average amount of business done with us over the previous
three years. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Members
who are individuals are entitled to one vote each. Individual members may exercise their voting power directly or through patrons' associations affiliated with a grain elevator,
feed mill, seed plant or any other of our facilities (with certain historical exceptions) recognized by our Board of Directors. The number of votes of patrons' associations is determined under the
same formula as cooperative association members. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Most
matters submitted to a vote of the members require the approval of a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the members, although certain actions require a greater vote. See
"&#151;Certain Antitakeover Measures" below. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Debt and Equity Instruments  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may issue debt and equity instruments to our current members and patrons, on a patronage basis or otherwise, and to persons who are
neither members nor patrons. All equity we issue (including the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock) is subject to a first lien in favor of us for all indebtedness of the holder to us. On May&nbsp;31,
2013, our outstanding capital includes patrons' equities (consisting of Capital Equity Certificates and Non-patronage Equity Certificates), 8% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and certain capital
reserves. </FONT></P>

capital may not exceed eight percent (8%) per annum. Unless otherwise expressly authorized by our Board of Directors, preferred stock established and issued pursuant to CHS's articles of incorporation
may only be sold or transferred with the approval of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has expressly authorized the listing and trading of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock on the NASDAQ
Global Select Market and transfer of shares of Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock in connection therewith. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event of our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, all of our debts and liabilities would
be paid first according to their respective
priorities. After such payment, the holders of each share of our Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock, 8% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and any other equity securities would then be entitled to
receive payment, out of available assets, in accordance with their respective liquidation preferences. After such distribution to the holders of equity capital, any excess would be paid to patrons on
the basis of their past patronage with us. Our bylaws provide for the allocation among our members and nonmember patrons of the consideration received in any merger or consolidation to which we are a
party. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Certain Antitakeover Measures  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our governing documents may be amended upon the approval of a majority of the votes cast at an annual or special meeting. However, if
our Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, declares that a proposed amendment to our governing documents involves or is related to a "hostile takeover," the amendment must be adopted by 80% of
the total voting power of our members. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
approval of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast at a meeting is required to approve a "change of control" transaction which would include a merger, consolidation,
liquidation, dissolution or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. If our Board of Directors determines that a proposed change of control transaction involves a hostile takeover, the 80%
approval requirement applies. The term "hostile takeover" is not further defined in the Minnesota cooperative law or our governing documents. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Tax Treatment  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subchapter&nbsp;T of the Code sets forth rules for the tax treatment of cooperatives and applies to both cooperatives exempt from
taxation under Section&nbsp;521 of the Code and to nonexempt corporations operating on a cooperative basis. We are a nonexempt cooperative. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a cooperative, we are not taxed on qualified patronage (minimum cash requirement of 20%) allocated to our members either in the form of equities or cash. Consequently, those amounts
are taxed only at the patron level. However, the amounts of any allocated but undistributed patronage earnings (called non-qualified written notices of allocation) are taxable to us when allocated.
Upon redemption of any non-qualified written notices of allocation, the amount is deductible to us and taxable to the member. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income
derived by us from non-patronage sources is not entitled to the "single tax" benefit of Subchapter&nbsp;T and is taxed to us at corporate income tax rates. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NCRA
is not consolidated for tax purposes. Beginning in September 2013, NCRA will be consolidated for tax purposes when our ownership increases to greater than 80% following our next
purchase of a portion of the remaining noncontrolling interests. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following table sets forth selected financial information which has been revised to reflect the adoption of a new accounting
principle. In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No.&nbsp;2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive
Income" ("ASU No.&nbsp;2011-05"). ASU No.&nbsp;2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders' equity. ASU
No.&nbsp;2011-05 requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous
statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. We adopted ASU No.&nbsp;2011-05, as amended by ASU No.&nbsp;2011-12,
"Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards
Update No.&nbsp;2011-05," during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The following selected financial information revises our annual information for the periods presented to apply the new presentation
required by this pronouncement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Resignation of Executive Officers  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On January&nbsp;17, 2013, Patrick Kluempke notified us of his intent to retire from his position of Executive Vice President,
Corporate Services effective March&nbsp;30, 2013. Mr.&nbsp;Kluempke received his then-current salary ($510,329), prorated through March&nbsp;30, 2013, as well as his Annual and Long Term
Incentive Awards ($828,774) also prorated through March&nbsp;30, 2013. In connection with his retirement, Mr.&nbsp;Kluempke agreed to enter into a separation agreement with us, under which he
agreed to, among other things, a release of claims and to comply with non-competition and non-solicitation covenants (the "Restrictive Covenants") in exchange for $600,147, which represents the value
of the Annual and Long-Term Incentive Awards to which he would have been entitled with respect to the remainder of fiscal 2013 had he remained with us through August&nbsp;31, 2013. Shirley
Cunningham joined CHS in the newly created position of Executive Vice President of Enterprise Strategy, effective April&nbsp;22, 2013, which position will assume a portion of the duties formerly
performed by Mr.&nbsp;Kluempke in his role as Executive Vice President, Corporate Services. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
January&nbsp;17, 2013, we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr.&nbsp;Kluempke that became effective April&nbsp;1, 2013. Under the terms of the consulting agreement,
Mr.&nbsp;Kluempke agreed to perform consulting
and advisory services for us through December&nbsp;31, 2014, including advising management with respect to potential domestic and global business development opportunities and other key matters as
requested by us. He also agreed to remain bound by the Restrictive Covenants during the term of the consulting agreement and for one year thereafter. Pursuant to the consulting agreement,
Mr.&nbsp;Kluempke will receive a consulting fee of $45,000 per month. As a consultant, Mr.&nbsp;Kluempke will not be entitled to receive any other compensation or benefits. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
January&nbsp;28, 2013, David Kastelic notified us that he intends to retire from his position of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective September&nbsp;3,
2013, concluding a 20-year career with us. On July&nbsp;10, 2013, we announced that Timothy Skidmore has accepted the position of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective
August&nbsp;19, 2013. Mr.&nbsp;Skidmore's appointment was approved by our Board of Directors on July&nbsp;10, 2013. Mr.&nbsp;Skidmore will replace the current Chief Financial Officer, David A.
Kastelic, who has agreed to remain with us to assist in the transition of responsibilities until September&nbsp;3, 2013, when he will effectively retire from CHS. In this role, Mr.&nbsp;Skidmore
will serve as our principal financial officer for SEC reporting purposes. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Code of Ethics  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On April&nbsp;3, 2013, our Board of Directors adopted new CHS Compliance Policies (the "New Policies") applicable to all directors,
officers and employees of CHS. The New Policies, together with our Global Code of Conduct (the "Code"), constitute our code of ethics for purposes of Item&nbsp;406(b) of Regulation&nbsp;S-K. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
New Policies replace policies (the "Prior Policies") that had been in place at the time the Code was adopted, effective on January&nbsp;2, 2012. The New Policies generally address
the same topics as the Prior Policies but have been re-written to update the language and format and globalize our policy statements. There are no material substantive changes reflected in the New
Policies compared to the Prior Policies as they apply to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will provide a copy of the Code and the New Policies to any person, without charge, upon request in the same manner described in our most recently filed Annual Report on
Form&nbsp;10-K. </FONT></P>

Stock are entitled to receive out of our available assets $25.00 per share plus all dividends accumulated and unpaid on that share, whether or not declared, to and including the date of distribution.
This distribution to the holders of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock will be made before any payment is made or assets distributed to the holders of any patrons' equities or any shares of our
capital stock or equity capital that rank junior to the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock but after the payment of all liabilities and the liquidation preference of any of shares of our capital stock or
equity capital that rank (with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock) senior to the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock. Any distribution to the holders
of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock will be made ratably among the holders of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock and any other shares of our capital stock or equity capital that rank as to
liquidation rights on a parity with the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock in proportion to the respective preferential amounts to which each is entitled. After payment in full of the liquidation

its option, may redeem the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock for cash, in whole or in part, at a per share redemption price (the "Redemption Price") equal to the per share liquidation preference of
$25.00, plus all dividends accumulated and unpaid on that share to and including the date of redemption (the "Redemption Date"), payable in cash, to the extent CHS has funds legally available
therefor; </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>provided</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>however</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, that if a Redemption Date falls on or after a Dividend Record Date relating

such registrar), postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60&nbsp;days prior to the Redemption Date, addressed to each holder of record of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock to be redeemed at
the address set forth in the share transfer records of CHS (or such registrar). No failure to give such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given. In addition to any information required by law, such notice shall state:
(i)&nbsp;the Redemption Date; (ii)&nbsp;the Redemption Price; (iii)&nbsp;the number of shares of Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iv)&nbsp;the time, place and manner in which
the holder shall surrender to CHS the shares of Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock for payment of the Redemption Price, including the steps that a holder should take with respect to any certificates
representing the shares of Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock which have been lost, stolen or destroyed or for any uncertificated shares; and (v)&nbsp;that dividends on the Class&nbsp;B Preferred
Stock to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on such Redemption Date, assuming payment of the Redemption Price is made on such date. If fewer than all shares of Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock held by

funds necessary for payment of such Redemption Price shall have been irrevocably set aside by us in trust for the benefit of the holders of any Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then from and
after such Redemption Date dividends will cease to accumulate on such Preferred Stock, and such Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of such Preferred
Stock will terminate, except the right to receive the Redemption Price. Upon surrender, in accordance with such notice, of certificates for any Preferred Stock so redeemed (properly endorsed or
assigned for transfer, if we shall so require and the notice shall so state), such Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by us at the Redemption Price. In case fewer than all shares of Class&nbsp;B
Preferred Stock represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate or certificates shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares of Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock without cost to
the holder. Each surrendered certificate will be cancelled. </FONT></P>

Luxembourg or Brussels, as applicable. Thus, if you wish to exercise rights that expire on a particular day, you may need to act before the expiration date. In addition, if you hold your interests
through both DTC and Euroclear or Clearstream, you may need to make special arrangements to finance any purchases or sales of your interests between the U.S. and European clearing systems, and those

organization" within the meaning of the New York
Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions
of section&nbsp;17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). DTC holds securities for DTC participants (as defined below) and facilitates the settlement of securities
transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities between DTC participants through electronic computerized book-entry changes in accounts of DTC participants, thereby eliminating
the need for physical movement of certificates. DTC participants include the underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations
("DTC participants"). DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and
Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to other such
banks, securities brokers and dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC participant, either directly or indirectly ("indirect DTC participants").
The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC. </FONT></P>

applicable record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). CHS will make payments with respect to a global certificate in immediately available funds to DTC. DTC's practice is to
credit DTC participants' accounts on the applicable payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on its records, unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on
that date. Payments by
DTC participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered
in "street name," and will be the responsibility of the DTC participants and not of DTC or CHS, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Disbursements
of payments to DTC participants will be DTC's responsibility, and disbursement of payments to the beneficial owners will be the responsibility of DTC participants and indirect DTC participants. </FONT></P>

shares in connection with a repurchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in such shares are transferred by the applicable DTC participant on DTC's records and followed by a book-entry
credit of such shares to the transfer agent's DTC account. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ownership
of beneficial interests in a global certificate will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC, the DTC
participants and the indirect DTC participants. The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain persons take physical delivery in certificated form of securities which they own. Consequently, the
ability to transfer beneficial interests in the Global Certificates will be limited to such extent. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to "U.S. holders" and "non-U.S.
holders" (each as defined below) with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock. This summary is based upon current provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury regulations and judicial and administrative authority, all of which are subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive
effect. This summary does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal
income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances. This discussion does not address the tax consequences to investors who are subject to special
tax rules, such as banks and other financial institutions, insurance companies, governments and governmental entities, broker-dealers, partnerships and their partners, and tax-exempt organizations,
investors that will hold the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale, or other integrated security transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
or U.S. holders that have a functional currency that is not the U.S. dollar, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. In addition, this summary
does not address any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences. Each prospective investor is urged to consult its own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local, and non-U.S. income and
other tax considerations of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
purposes of this summary, you are a "U.S. holder" if you are a beneficial owner of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock and you are for U.S. federal income tax purposes (i)&nbsp;an
individual citizen or resident of the United States, (ii)&nbsp;a corporation created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of
Columbia, (iii)&nbsp;an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv)&nbsp;a trust if it (A)&nbsp;is subject to the primary supervision
of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (B)&nbsp;has a valid election in effect under applicable
U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person. You are a "non-U.S. holder" if you are a beneficial owner of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock that is not a U.S. holder. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
a partnership (including any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a holder of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock, the U.S. federal income
tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership or a partner of a partnership holding
Preferred Stock, you should consult your own tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Distributions on the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In general, if distributions are made with respect to the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock, the distributions will be treated as
dividends to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes taking into account the special rules applicable to cooperatives. Any
portion of a distribution in excess of our current and accumulated
earnings and profits is treated first as a nontaxable return of capital reducing your tax basis in the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock. Any amount in excess of your tax basis is treated as capital
gain, the tax treatment of which is discussed below under "Sale or Redemption of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock." </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dividends
received by individual holders of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock will generally be subject to taxation at long-term capital gains rates, provided that certain holding
period requirements are met. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the tax rates and holding period requirements applicable to you in light of your particular circumstances. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dividends
received by corporate holders of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock may be eligible for a dividends received deduction equal to 70% of the amount of the distribution, subject
to applicable limitations, including limitations related to "debt financed portfolio stock" under Section&nbsp;246A of the Code and to the holding period requirements of Section&nbsp;246 of the
Code. In addition, any amount received by a corporate holder that is treated as a dividend may, depending on the circumstances, constitute an "extraordinary dividend" subject to the provisions of
Section&nbsp;1059 of the Code (except as may otherwise be provided in Treasury regulations yet to be promulgated). Under Section&nbsp;1059, a corporate holder generally must reduce the tax basis
of all of the holder's shares (but not below zero) by the "non-taxed portion" of any "extraordinary dividend" and, if the non-taxed portion exceeds the holder's tax basis for the shares, must treat
any excess as gain from the sale or exchange of the shares in the year the payment is received. If you are a corporate holder, we strongly encourage you to consult your own tax advisor regarding the
extent, if any, to which these provisions may apply to you in light of your particular facts and circumstances. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Sale or Redemption of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the sale or exchange of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock to a party other than us, you generally will realize capital gain or
loss in an amount equal to the difference between (a)&nbsp;the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property you receive on the sale and (b)&nbsp;your tax basis in the Class&nbsp;B
Preferred Stock. We strongly encourage you to consult your own tax advisors regarding applicable rates, holding periods and netting rules for capital gains and losses in light of your particular facts
and circumstances. Certain limitations exist on the deduction of capital losses by both corporate and non-corporate taxpayers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
the redemption of Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock by us, your surrender of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock for the redemption proceeds will be treated either as a payment received
upon sale or exchange of the
Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock or as a distribution with respect to all of your equity interests in us. Resolution of this issue will turn on the application of Section&nbsp;302 of the Code to your
individual facts and circumstances. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For tax years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2012, an additional 3.8% tax will be imposed on the "net investment income" of
certain U.S. citizens and resident aliens, and on the undistributed "net investment income" of certain estates and trusts. Among other items, "net investment income" generally includes gross income
from dividends and net gain from the disposition of property, such as the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock, less certain deductions. You should consult your tax advisor with respect to this additional
tax. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Information Reporting and Backup Withholding  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Information reporting and backup withholding may apply with respect to payments of dividends on the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock and
to certain payments of proceeds on the sale or other disposition of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock. Certain non-corporate U.S. holders may be subject to U.S. backup withholding at a rate of 28% on
payments of dividends on the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock and certain payments of proceeds on the sale or other disposition of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock unless the beneficial owner of the
Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock furnishes the payor or its agent with a taxpayer identification number, certified under penalties of perjury, and certain other information, or otherwise establishes, in
the manner prescribed by law, an exemption from backup withholding. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;U.S.
backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a credit against a U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax
liability, which may entitle the U.S. holder to a refund, provided the U.S. holder timely furnishes the required information to the IRS. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Distributions on the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Distributions treated as dividends as described above under "U.S. Holders&#151;Distributions on the Class&nbsp;B Preferred
Stock" paid to a non-U.S. holder of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock will generally be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an
applicable income tax treaty. However, distributions that are effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. holder of a trade or business within the United States are not subject to the
withholding tax, provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied. Instead, such distributions are subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner
as if the non-U.S. holder were a United States person as defined under the Code, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a
foreign corporation may be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
purposes of obtaining a reduced rate of withholding under an income tax treaty or an exemption from withholding for dividends effectively connected to a U.S. trade or business, a
non-U.S. holder will generally be required to provide a U.S. taxpayer identification number as well as certain information concerning the holder's country of residence and entitlement to tax benefits.

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on gain realized on the sale, exchange,

States (and, if a tax treaty applies, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained the non-U.S. holder in the United States). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
payment made to a non-U.S. holder in redemption of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock may be treated as a dividend, rather than as a payment in exchange for such stock, in the
circumstances discussed above under "U.S. Holders&#151;Sale or Redemption of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock," in which event such payment would be subject to tax as discussed above under
"Non-U.S. Holders&#151;Distributions on the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock." Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors to determine the proper tax treatment of any payment
received in redemption of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> Information Reporting and Backup Withholding  </I></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Information returns will be filed with the IRS reporting payments of dividends on the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock and the amount of
tax, if any, withheld with respect to those payments. Copies of information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which a
non-U.S. holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. Unless the non-U.S. holder complies with certification procedures to establish that it is not a U.S. person,
information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock and the non-U.S. holder may be subject to U.S.
backup withholding on dividend payments on the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock or on the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock. Satisfaction of the
certification procedures required to claim a reduced rate of withholding under a treaty described above in the section titled "Distributions on the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock" will satisfy the
certification requirements necessary to avoid backup withholding as well. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a non-U.S. holder will be allowed as a credit against such holder's
U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their own tax
advisors regarding the application of backup withholding in their particular circumstances and the availability of and procedure for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding under current
Treasury regulations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA"), enacted in 2010, imposes withholding taxes on certain types of payments to
(i)&nbsp;foreign financial institutions that do not agree to comply with certain diligence reporting and withholding obligations with respect to their U.S. accounts and (ii)&nbsp;non-financial
foreign entities that do not identify (or confirm the absence of) substantial U.S. owners. The withholding tax of 30% would apply to dividends and the gross proceeds of a disposition of the
Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock paid to certain foreign entities (including payments made to a foreign financial institution on behalf of a U.S. stockholder) unless various information reporting
requirements are satisfied. For these purposes, a foreign financial institution generally is defined as any non-U.S. entity that (i)&nbsp;accepts deposits in the ordinary course of a banking or

of Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock at
the public offering price, less the underwriting discount, within 30&nbsp;days from the date of this prospectus solely to cover over-allotments, if any. If the underwriters

that underwriter's initial amount reflected in the above table. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> No Sales of Similar Securities  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have agreed that, for a period of 30&nbsp;days after the date of this prospectus and subject to certain exceptions, we will not,

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock is a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We have applied to list the
Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "CHSCO". If the application is approved, we expect trading in the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock on the NASDAQ Global
Select Market to commence within 30&nbsp;days of the original issuance date of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock. Although the underwriters have advised us that they currently intend to make a
market in the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock before commencement of trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, they are not obligated to do so, and may cease market-making activities, if commenced,
at any time without notice to, or the consent of holders of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock. Accordingly, an active trading market on the NASDAQ Global Select Market for the shares of
Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock may not develop or, even if one develops, may not last, in which case the liquidity and market price of the shares of Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock could be adversely
affected, the difference between bid and asked prices could be substantial and your ability to transfer shares of Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock at the time and price desired will be limited. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Until the distribution of the shares of Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock is completed, SEC rules may limit the underwriters and selling
group members from bidding for and purchasing shares of our Preferred Stock. However, the representatives may engage in transactions that have the effect of stabilizing the price of the shares of our
Preferred Stock, such as purchases and other activities that peg, fix or maintain that price. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
connection with this offering, the underwriters may bid for or purchase and sell shares of our Preferred Stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales and
purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of our Preferred Stock than they are required to
purchase </FONT></P>

this offering. "Covered" short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters' overallotment option described above. The underwriters may close out any covered short position
by either exercising their overallotment option or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares of Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock to close out the covered short position,
the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares of Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase
shares of Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock through the overallotment option. "Naked" short sales are sales in excess of the overallotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position
by purchasing shares of Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on
the price of shares of our Preferred Stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Similar
to other purchase transactions, the underwriters' purchases to cover the short sales and other activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of
shares of our Preferred Stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of shares of our Preferred Stock. As a result, the price of shares of our Preferred Stock may be higher than the
price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. </FONT></P>

we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of
shares of our Preferred Stock. In addition, neither we nor the underwriters make any representation that the
representatives will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We expect that delivery of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock will be made to investors

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;business day following the date of this prospectus (such settlement being referred to as "T+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"). Under Rule&nbsp;15c6-1 under the
Exchange Act, trades in the secondary
market are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade their shares of Class&nbsp;B Preferred
Stock prior to the third business day preceding the date of delivery of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock referenced above will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Class&nbsp;B Preferred
Stock initially will settle in T+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers who wish to trade their shares
of Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock prior to the third business day preceding the date of delivery of the Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock referenced above should consult their advisors. </FONT></P>

addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity
securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities
may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge their credit exposure to
us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the
purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities. Any such short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the shares of Class&nbsp;B Preferred
Stock offered hereby. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial
instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments. </FONT></P>

as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred dividends, earnings consist of income from continuing operations before income taxes on consolidated operations, distributed income from equity investees and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense and one-third of rental expense, considered representative of that portion of rental expense estimated to be attributable to interest. Interest costs of $126.3 million, $67.5 million, and $113.2 million for the nine months ended May&nbsp;31, 2013 and 2012, and the year ended August&nbsp;31, 2012, respectively, associated with our commitment to purchase the NCRA noncontrolling interests, were excluded from interest expense for purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred dividends.</font></p>
