Exit strategy

IPO, sale, or further round financing.

Eligible for IPO in 3 years.

Convincing precedent for FSU ag

IPOs in London, Warsaw, Frankfurt,

Stockholm, Moscow.

As Russian farming becomes more

productive, and more fully invested,

possible selective asset sales at

steep premium to acquisition cost.

AVG will be proactive in maximizing

shareholder valuation in future years.

Buckwheat

The richest topsoil in

the world. Called “Black Earth”, or

“Chernozem” it is unusually fertile,

a true natural phenomenon. It

contains a very high percentage of

humus (10% to 15%), and high

percentages of phophoric acids,

phosphorus, and ammonia,

requiring less fertilizer and

delivering excellent yields. Most

topsoil in the US and Europe has

a depth of 6 -12 inches (15 – 30

cm). In this region of Russia, the

topsoil averages 40 inches (1

meter) in depth, and sometimes

reaches 80 inchest (2 meters)!

Climate The climate in this region is similar

to the northern American Midwest

(North Dakota), but delivers better

yields due to the richer soil.

Yields Without fertilizer, Chernozem

yields an average of 3 metric tons

of wheat per hectare, and with

fertilizer, reliable yields are as

high as 6 tons. The soil is so rich it is actually black,

like potting soil from a garden shop.

Hence its name, “Black Earth”.

Infrastructure: Good local roads and rail links

20

Local roads connecting farms in a typical Central Black

Earth region. Small circles are usually farms 3 – 4 km

distant from each other.

A typical local road in the central black earth

region: well-maintained and not crowded.

Compare to Brazil: almost no rail and far

fewer roads which are badly over-

crowded.

The black sea port of

Novorossisk. It, and

other Russian ports

are being rapidly

expanded.

It is a common

misperception that

Russia has poor

infrastructure.

In fact, in the

agricultural regions, it is

quite well developed,

and not over-burdened,

as in Brazil.

The government is

investing heavily in

modernization,

particularly of ports and

transportation.

Strong partnerships with authorities and state banks

AVG works closely with VEB in managing and developing Razgulay and related investment projects. A government owned bank,

VEB, the 3rd largest bank in Russia, holds 80% of the outstanding debt of Razgulay.

AVG also closely cooperates with regional governors and administrations in subsidies, land purchasing and investment projects

sourcing matters.

Russian government debt financing ≈ 70% of investment need, at preliminary agreed near 2% real interest rate, dramatically

increases equity returns .
