The special committee of independent directors of the Board of Directors of Asia Green Agriculture Corporation (the “Company”; OTCBB: AGAC), consisting of Messrs.

As previously reported on Form 8-K filed on November 21, 2013, the Company received a preliminary non-binding proposal from Mr. Youdai Zhan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company not currently owned, legally or beneficially, by Mr. Zhan, for $0.55 per share in cash. If implemented, the proposal would result in the Company becoming a privately-held company. Duff & Phelps will provide financial advisory services to assist the Special Committee in the performance of its duties and the evaluation and negotiation the proposed transaction with Mr. Zhan.
