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 ABN 55 007 481 156
(“SunRice”, “the Company”) 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 Australian Securities Exchange (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 its FY24
Annual Report 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, the review of the Non -
Standard Elements is continuing. The Board anticipates
providing an update during FY27.
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 almost 20 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 adopted 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, which
is available on SunRice’s website.
For more details of the Non -Standard Elements of
SunRice’s structure see investors.sunrice.com.au.

Outlook
The Group’s Q1 FY27 trading performance is tracking in line with prior
guidance set out in the Group’s 2026 Annual Report.
The Group remains on track for its FY27 outlook, with revenue
expected to be slightly below FY26, Group EBITDA margin
compressing and NPAT anticipated to be materially lower than FY26,
primarily driven by the smaller Australian rice crop driving cost
inefficiencies and under absorption in the Group’s Australian rice
operations (consistent with prior lower crop cycles).
This is despite continued underlying growth in our branded business.
Earnings are also expected to be heavily weighted to H2 as the Group
absorbs most of the smaller crop -transition costs in H1.
Geopolitical instability and shipping disruption in the Middle East
continue to be closely monitored, having delayed some trades and
expansion plans in the region. Further deterioration could pressure
both revenue and profitability in that market.
The Group’s balance sheet remains strong, with lower inventory levels
supporting healthy cash flow and contained debt levels, providing
flexibility to keep investing in the Group’s 2030 Growth Strategy.
