Royal Hawaiian Orchards L.P. Commences Rights Offering to Raise Growth Capital for expansion of Royal Hawaiian Orchards® brand

HILO, HI, January 14, 2014 — Royal Hawaiian Orchards, L.P. (OTCQX: NNUTU) (or “RHO”), one of the world’s largest growers of macadamia nuts, today announced its commencement of a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”), which is being extended to all holders of record of the Company’s Depository Units as of the close of business on November 4, 2013 (the “Record Date”).  If these subscription rights are exercised in full, the Rights Offering is expected to raise approximately $9 million after expenses.

“We are taking a major step forward towards realizing our goal to transition from a farming company to a branded healthy snack food company with this Rights Offering” said President and CEO Scott Wallace. “Our strategy is to capitalize on consumers’ views of nuts as an upscale healthy snack that can command prices above traditional mass-marketed products.  Our Royal Hawaiian Orchards® brand products contain no artificial ingredients, are non-GMO (non-genetically modified organisms), gluten-free, and have no sulfites. We are leveraging the existing nutritional properties inherent in tree nuts in our line of macadamia-based foods. Our strategy is based on promoting the health benefits of macadamia nuts, which are similar to those of almonds, a food product that has achieved strong market positioning based on growing consumer awareness of associated wellness properties.”

“In the short time since our launch in late 2012, the Royal Hawaiian Orchards®  brand has been accepted by consumers as a healthy snack alternative with retail distribution in over 3,000 stores in the continental U.S. and Hawaii.  The funds from this rights offering will be used to quickly expand distribution nationwide to national, regional and independent grocery and drug chains, as well as mass merchandisers, that target consumers with healthy eating habits and the disposable income needed to afford premium products.”

“By pursuing a branded products strategy and continuing to farm macadamias, we believe that we may have a pricing advantage, because we are able to produce nuts from our own orchards at a relatively fixed and currently favorable cost and do not have to compete to purchase nuts from third parties. Further, we believe that should wholesale nut prices decline, our branded strategy serves to mitigate our exposure to fluctuating commodity prices.”

As of the Record Date, RHO’s two largest unit holders beneficially owned a combined total of approximately 59% of the Depositary Units. These unit holders have indicated that they intend to exercise their rights in full.  Such indications are not binding, and such holders are not legally obligated to purchase any Depositary Units.
