With all the main commodity finance banks, funds, trading houses, producers and processors from across the globe, we’ll also bring you excellent networking in a relaxed environment.

With the the increased demand for greater focus on supply chain and working capital efficiency, we’re also running a simultaneous event, dedicated to trade finance and cash management – see page 16 for the topics that we’ll be including in

that event.

TXF Amsterdam will cover all the key topics, including:

• Markets and segments still showing growth

• Analysis of the whole financing spectrum: what’s available, for whom, and at what price?

• Who’s faring well and who’s struggling in the current environment?

• Tools for increasing efficiency across the supply chain – both physical and financial

• New technologies, from monitoring shipments, to combatting fraud, to reducing admin burdens

2016 threw surprise after surprise at the market – so what can we expect for 2017? Will the recent pickup in oil, metal ores and coal continue? Will interest rates continue to rise? How should we interpret the wave of high-profile departures from commodity banks? Pricing volatility in hard

commodities and unpredictable climate events affecting softs both foster an environment of uncertainty. Not to mention the political upheavals across the globe…So the question on everybody’s lips is: in volatile times, how can you stay ahead of the game?

Chairman’s opening remarksJonathan Bell, Editor-in-Chief, TXF

State of the market: Drivers in tradeFollowing on from the morning’s economic snapshot, this panel of industry leaders and dealmakers assesses key issues: How much liquidity are treasurers’ currently holding, and how are they looking at placing it? Has the modest pickup in commodity prices given the industry a bounce? What does the regulatory landscape look like as we enter H2 of 2017? Where do we see trade & supply chain routes developing and - most critically - are corporates finding the structured and working capital financing that they need?Jasper Jorritsma, Senior Policy Advisor, Netherlands Authority for the Financial MarketsTawfik Sadfi, Head of Finance EMEA & South America, GunvorPierpaolo di Fabio, Corporate Finance Director, KMERogier Schulpen, Global Head of Structured Trade & Commodity Finance, SantanderModerator: Jonathan Bell, Editor-in-Chief, TXF

IDEA LAB STREAM

IDEA LAB STREAM

What if a top-tier trader failed?Top-tier trading houses consistently deny that they might be “too big to fail,” but many disagree. To take softs as an example: ADM, Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus (the ABCD of the agriculture world) account for as much as 90% of the global grain trade.• What would happen to the global economy if just one of those companies went under?• Is that likely to happen – or have turnarounds by the likes of Glencore and Noble shown them to be more resilient than we thought?Jean-Francois Lambert, Founding Partner, Lambert Commodities

Research Panel: A new equilibriumCommodity prices have been slowly but steadily creeping upwards; Opec has finally agreed to cut production; and supply seems to finally be coming back in line with demand.

Traders’ priorities: Are we operating a two-tier trading system?The sustained low-pricing environment has seen global traders fare well, with smaller trading houses feeling the pinch. How sustainable is this two-tier system, and how does it affect traders’ financing priorities for 2017?This keynote panel looks at:• Financing strategies for traders and the differences between global and local players• The sustainability of the current trading ecosystemStephan Jansma, Global Head of Trade & Structured Finance, TrafiguraOlivier Boujol, Director – Global Head of Finance, ADMRiccardo Greco, CFO, BB EnergyNicholas Haslett, Senior Managing Director & Chief Strategy Officer, Castleton CommoditiesNataliya Frolova, Head of Corporate Finance, Gazprom Marketing & TradingRene Baars, CFO, SimecModerator: Rachel Pether, Advisor, Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute

PLENARY STREAM

Relaying the foundations: A creative guide to restructuringWhen the going gets tough, what options do banks have? What can we learn from past restructurings, such as DTEK in Ukraine, and why aren’t more financiers lending in Eastern Europe? What incentives could be taken to encourage greater activity in the region and are Russian banks moving into the space beginning to displace the traditional incumbents?Mark Segall, Partner, CMSSven de Zoeten, Director, Deutsche Bank

Reimagining the commodity financing paradigm: Who will play what role?On one hand, banks are facing a tough formula: low pricing + high liquidity = a challenging environment. On the other, trading houses are finding that streamlined middle and back offices + strong front office networks = competitive advantage. What has this meant for the traditional financing dynamic? Are trading houses taking over that space? How are banks responding? Who are the movers and shakers in the banking market right now? What kind of balance are we seeing between retrenchment and expansion among different banks? How have banks and traders responded to the digital wave and promise of technological efficiency?Sergei Mikhalev, Head of Trade & Structured Finance, Amsterdam Trade BankPing Xiao, Head of Trade Finance, Bank of ChinaAdrian Mellor, Partner, Allen & OveryKatharina Michael, Director - Structured Trade & Export Finance, UnicreditModerator: Alexander Peters, Board Member, Swiss Commodity Club

Deal, No Deal or DistributeA staple of TXF events, this session is a fun and interactive way to look at pricing. We present a panel of industry experts with a series of hypothetical deals. Their task? To decide:

1. Whether they would do the deal

2. How they would price the deal

3. Whether they would distribute the deal

The audience can then vote on what they would do, faced with these dealsWillem Klaassens, Managing Director, Latour Commodities AdvisoryKris Van Broekhoven, Global Head of Commodity Trade Finance, CitiModerator: Hesham Zakai, Associate Director, TXF

16:00 Coffee & Networking

Industry duel: De-risking does more bad than good for the industry We finish up with a lively Oxford-style debate:Are banks too reliant on risk mitigation to try and make bad deals viable? Does “de-risking” cause more harm than good by simply transferring risk onto a different party?Jackie Froschauer, Structured Trade Finance Manager, BPArmin Eckermann, Managing Director, Eckermann PartnersStefan Böhlich, Managing Director, CommerzbankJohn de Lange, Managing Director, Structured Metals & Energy Finance, INGModerator: Jonathan Solomon, Partner, Reed Smith

Geopolitical risk: Around the world in 30 minutesThis presentation will give you a region-by-region overview of geopolitical risk, covering MENA, Sub Saharan Africa, Latin America, Asia and CEE/CIS.2016 has been almost unprecedented in terms of political risk, from heightened security threats across Europe to conflict in the Middle East. As we move into 2017 alerts are still high. In what’s been termed a “Geopolitical Recession,” the USA seems to be all but renouncing its position as the linchpin of the global economy and the European Union in the midst of an existential crisis. The flipside of the populism coin is hitting the Middle East and Southern Africa, where increased access to online and social media threatens the stability of opaque governance regimes. So, what’s the outlook and how can you prepare yourselves to withstand it?Robert Besseling, CEO, ExxAfrica

Reconsidering alternative financeAlternative financiers are often seen as doing the deals that banks can’t do – whether the ticket size is too small, the market too risky, the regulatory stakes too high, or the client unknown – and who’s filling that gap. But is that the best way of viewing the offering or is it time to redraw the paradigm?Joseph Israel, VP Investment Team, Reuben BrothersElmar Diener, Managing Partner, Vicenda GroupNabil Abdul-Massih, CEO, INOKS CapitalJames Waterman, Head of Trade Finance Europe, Liberty Commodities GroupAdrian Katz, CEO, FinacityModerator: Suresh Advani, Head of Trade Finance, Insurecap
