COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT

1 October, 2012

Nufarm prices US$325 million Senior Unsecured Notes Offering

Nufarm Limited today announced the pricing by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nufarm Australia Ltd, of US$325 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”) in an offering to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain persons outside the United States in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The size of the offering was increased to US$325 million from the previously announced US$300 million due to strong demand. The settlement of the offering of the Notes is expected to occur in New York on 5 October 2012, and is subject to customary closing conditions.

The net proceeds of the Notes issue will be used to repay existing indebtedness outstanding under the A$625 million Australian revolving bank facility entered into in November 2011. Concurrent with this, US$250 million of the commitments under the A$625 million Australian revolving bank facility would be cancelled. The Notes, together with the Australian bank facilities and the trade receivable securitisation facility put in place during 2011, reflects Nufarm’s strategy to diversify its funding sources and extend its debt maturities.

This notice does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of any offer to buy, the Notes or any other securities. Any offer of the Notes will be made only by means of a private offering circular. The Notes are not being registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of Australia or any other jurisdiction. The Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
