Investors

• With projected global population growth there is an increase in demand for food
• The increase in standard of living in emerging economies is leading to a shift in demand for higher protein foods

• The aging population of agri-food and operating company owners with uncertain succession plans is placing further pressure on supply

Alternative investment

• An alternative investment to stocks and bonds
• Farmland funds have been proven as a viable alternative investment

Long-term “buy and hold” strategy

• As a Canadian-controlled private company, we are not subject to restrictive investment hold periods
• Owning companies for the long-term provides more latitude and flexibility to build successful companies that should result in higher multiples on invested capital.

Our strategy is to grow cash flow with reduced volatility

• By creating a diversified portfolio of agri-food and agri-business operating companies we mitigate seasonal cash flows and reduce the traditional, inherent volatility of those cash flows (see graphic)

Our multi-disciplinary team has experience managing agriculture operating businesses:

• A successful track record of buying and selling companies in identifying candidates for acquisition and managing the transition and restructuring

• The team at Market Maker Agriculture has experience in acquiring agri-businesses, recapitalizing these businesses and managing growth for the long-term
• Our board members and advisors have significant experience managing alternative investment assets for some of Canada’s largest pension funds, investing institutions and high-net-worth investors
