GREEN PLAINS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AND RELATED NOTES THERETO



Introduction and Basis of Presentation



On October 8, 2018, Green Plains Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an asset purchase agreement for the sale of three ethanol plants located in Bluffton, Indiana, Lakota, Iowa, and Riga, Michigan, and certain related assets from subsidiaries, to Valero Renewable Fuels Company, LLC (“Valero”) for the sale price of $319.8 million, including net working capital and other adjustments (the “Valero Transaction”). Correspondingly, the Company entered into a separate asset purchase agreement with Green Plains Partners LP (the “Partnership”) for $120.9 million (the “Partnership Transaction”) to acquire the related storage assets to be disposed of in the sale to Valero and convey 460 of the 3,500 railcars leased by the Partnership to the Company. The transactions were previously described in a Current Report of the Partnership on Form 8-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on October 10, 2018. On November 15, 2018, the Company closed on both the Partnership Transaction and the Valero Transaction. The Company received as consideration from Valero approximately $319.8 million, while the Partnership received as consideration from the Company 8.7 million Partnership units and a portion of the general partner interest equating to 0.2 million hypothetical limited partner units to maintain the general partner’s 2% interest. In addition, the Partnership also received as additional consideration approximately $2.6 million in cash related to the present value gain on railcars transferred, subject to certain post-closing adjustments.



The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018, of the Company is presented as if the Valero Transaction and the Partnership Transaction had occurred on September 30, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and for the year ended December 31, 2017, are presented as if such events had occurred on January 1, 2017.



The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations included herein are for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the Valero Transaction and the Partnership Transaction taken place on the respective dates assumed. Actual results may differ significantly from those reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial statements for various reasons, including but not limited to, the differences between the assumptions used to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and actual results. The pro forma adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and the statements of operations included herein include the use of estimates and assumptions as described in the accompanying notes. The pro forma adjustments are based on information available to the Company at the time these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared.
