Corporate Events NBPOL s first LTIP was approved by shareholders in May 2012 -- Setting performance criteria for management and key staff Acquisition of remaining 20% of KPOL by issuance of new NBPOL shares in April 2012 Acquisition of Orangerie Bay Plantation Limited for $4.4m in cash in July 2012, giving NBPOL potentially up to c.11,000 hectares of new land for oil palm planting 13
Outlook 138,000 tonnes CPO sold into remainder of 2012 at $1,084 / tonne Following improved weather conditions, expectation to see return to more normalised FFB collection: -- although extraction rates are likely to remain lower than normal for the remainder of 2012 Expecting to return to more normalised production and extraction in 2013 Embarking on cost saving initiatives to address impact of stronger currency on margins Expecting easing of key operational costs (freight, fertiliser, and fuel) New kernel crushing plants will increase oil volume These initiatives aim to reduce unit cash cost of production and improve margins Continue to source attractively priced assets 14
Sustainability All long standing NBPOL estates and supply chain certified as fully sustainable and traceable Firm commitment to have all new units and supply chains certified as fully sustainable and traceable by the end of 2012 NBPOL has been instrumental in developing the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (www.rspo.org) The RSPO has over 300 members including WWF, the Zoological Society of London and Oxfam NBPOL has control over its harvesting, milling, transportation, shipping and now refining, it can trace individual shipments back to source With the UK refinery it has a unique fully sustainable and traceable supply chain to the EU 15
