COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT

23 November, 2011

Nufarm completes execution of refinancing documentation

Nufarm Limited today announced that it has completed the execution of documentation relating to the refinancing of its existing syndicated bank facility with a number of Australian and foreign financial institutions.

The new syndicate will provide a three year $625 million facility which – together with a securitisation facility finalised in August – will provide lines of credit to support the company's working capital and general corporate financing requirements.

The syndicate comprises ANZ, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Mizuho, Rabobank, UBS and Unicredit.

Nufarm Chief Executive Doug Rathbone said the new facility recognises the underlying credit quality of Nufarm’s global business and growth prospects and represents a key step in management’s strategy to implement a diversified and flexible term funding platform for the business.

"The improved liquidity profile that results from the new bank facility will further assist Nufarm in the management of seasonal working capital demands across its various geographic segments.

“We are very pleased with the refinancing outcome, and the opportunity to improve our funding structure and diversify our banking relationships. The implementation of the new debt facilities provides Nufarm with a comfortable level of funding headroom and flexibility and will support Nufarm in realising its strategic growth objectives.”
