About SunRice Group’s structure
The structure of SunRice Group contains non-standard elements including its dual class share structure comprising A Class Shares and B Class
Shares.
A Class Shares confer on their holders the right to vote at general meetings but no right to dividends. A Class Shares are not quoted on ASX and may
only be held by rice growers who meet the production quotas prescribed by the SunRice constitution. No person may hold more than 5 A Class
Shares. In practical terms the voting rights held by A Class Shareholders give those shareholders the right to control the election of directors and any
changes to SunRice Group’s constitution.
B Class Shares are quoted on ASX and confer on their holders the right to receive dividends, as determined by the directors from time to time.
Holders of B Class Shares do not generally have the right to vote at general meetings of SunRice Group. This means B Class Shareholders have no
right to vote on the election of directors of SunRice Group. No person may hold more than 10% of the total number of B Class Shares on issue.

About SunRice’s structure
The structure of Ricegrowers Limited (trading as
SunRice) contains Non -Standard Elements, including:
1. The Company has a dual class share structure with
differential voting rights;
2. The Company’s constitution imposes shareholding
limits on A Class Shares and B Class Shares; and
3. The Company’s constitution outlines the
composition of the Board of Directors.
Details of these Non -Standard Elements are available
on SunRice’s website. One of the conditions of the
Company’s admission to the official list of the ASX in
2019 was the provision by SunRice of an undertaking
to the ASX that it would disclose, in its FY24 Annual
Report, whether it had considered removing the Non -
Standard Elements from its structure and operations,
and if it had decided not to remove the Non -Standard
Elements for the time being, its reasons for this.
In line with this obligation, SunRice disclosed in FY24
that it was conducting a strategic review including a
review of its structure and operations and that this
would include a review of the Non -Standard Elements
to assess whether the structure continues to be in the
best interests of the Company and its shareholders
generally. As at the date of this presentation, no
decision has been made or approved by the Board to
modify the structure.
The Board considers that any changes to the
Company’s capital structure require careful
consideration of a range of strategic, commercial, and
stakeholder factors. Should any material
recommendations arise from the Board’s periodic
reviews, they will be the subject of consultation with the
ASX and, where required, will be submitted to
shareholders for approval.
It should be noted that the interests of A Class
Shareholders are in achieving returns through Paddy
Prices. The interests of B Class Shareholders are in
achieving dividends on B Class Shares and
improvement in the market price of B Class Shares.
The Directors are required to act in the best interests of
the Company as a whole. SunRice’s Directors have
actively managed the interests of both A Class and B
Class shareholders, in a listed environment on both the
NSX and ASX for more than 18 years and the Directors
believe they have demonstrated a strong track record
in balancing the interests of both classes of
shareholders. In addition, the Board has procedures to
manage any potential conflict or divergence of
interests which may arise, including establishing a
committee of non -grower Directors (the Independent
Committee). These procedures are set out in the
SunRice Conflict of Interest Policy and the Paddy
Pricing Policy. Copies of both policies are also available
on SunRice’s website.

Ricegrowers Limited (ASX: SGLLV)
(SunRice Group) today provides an
update on the Group’s FY26 outlook
considering current market conditions.
Consistent with the outlook provided at
the time of the Group’s 1H FY26 Results,
SunRice Group continues to expect
growth in Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) in
FY26, reflecting the Group’s mix of
business, disciplined execution and focus
on margin management.
However, due to a combination of factors
across several key markets, the Group
now expects full year FY26 revenue to be
broadly in line with, or slightly below, the
prior corresponding period.
As outlined with the Group’s 1H FY26
Results, these factors include:
• strong competition across several key
markets in the Pacific, which continues
to impact revenue from lower-margin
volume in that region; and
• lower wholegrain mill-out rates from
the CY25 crop and drier conditions
across the Riverina leading to a smaller
CY26 crop, with these conditions
reducing the volume of finished
product available for sale. As a result,
the Group is electing to preserve
inventory for sale in higher-returning
markets and to reduce trades in lower-
returning markets in the current year.
More recent developments include:
• a sharp appreciation of the Australian
dollar against the US dollar, which is
negatively impacting the translation of
results from the Group’s foreign
operations; and
• conflict in the Middle East, which is
disrupting global shipping routes and
logistics and is impacting the Group’s
sales in this sizeable market in the near
term.
As the trading environment remains
challenging and volatile, the Group will
continue to closely monitor
developments.
Overview of SunRice Group
Outlook for the remainder of FY26
Update on current market conditions and FY26 financial outlook
As disclosed on the ASX on 19 March 2026
With rice at our
heart, we bring
people together
through inspiring
and delicious
food.
