VILMORIN SUCCESSFULLY PURSUES CONSOLIDATION OF ITS FINANCIAL RESOURCES

Vilmorin has just closed a syndicated loan deal of 300 million Euros with its longstanding banking partners, maturing in October 2015. This loan agreement provides for early termination of the previous syndicated funding whose maturity was initially due in June 2011.

This new syndicated loan agreement was reached in favorable market conditions, and offers greater financial flexibility in running external growth projects.

The transaction was finalized in the form of a club deal signed with a bankers' syndicate comprising ten French and international financial institutions. It has been arranged by the Crédit Lyonnais and the Crédit Agricole Centre France banks, acting as coordinators.

After its successful capital increase of 200 million Euros achieved during the course of the fiscal year 2009-2010, this operation strengthens the financial capacities of Vilmorin as it proactively accelerates its development.

Tuesday November 9th 2010 at the end of the day: sales for Q1 2010-2011. Friday December 17th 2010: Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in Paris.

Listed on NYSE Euronext Paris (compartment A), Vilmorin's quotation is included in the Next 150, CAC Mid 100, and SBF 250 indices and is eligible for SRD (Deferred Settlement Order).
