• Under the current structure, dry shares can

be exchanged into units in the Fund at any

time

• When TAF was set up we created

thresholds to protect farmer ownership and

control

• We are approaching some of those

thresholds today

• Declining milk or more flexibility for farmers

could cause us to exceed those thresholds

*Not to scale

Does the

structure

support our

ability to attract

and retain high

quality,

sustainable milk

and provide

financial

flexibility for

farmers?

Does the

structure align

incentives

between

shareholders,

unitholders and

management,

to maximise

value?

Is the transition

to a potential

new structure

affordable,

achievable and

fair to

unitholders and

farmer

shareholders?

Is the structure

simple to

understand and

simple to

operate for

both farmers

and the Co-

operative?

Does the

structure

manage

redemption risk

and economic

shocks in a way

that makes the

Co-operative

resilient?

Does the

structure

preserve

balance sheet

strength and

provide access

to capital at a

reasonable

cost in the

future?

Does the

structure

protect value

for current Co-

op members

and allow

farmers to

transact their

membership /

shareholding in

a way that is

fair?

Does the

structure

preserve farmer

ownership and

control of the

Co-operative for

the long term?
