Forward-Looking Statements

This communication includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "forecast," "intend," "seek," "target," "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "plan," "outlook," and "project" and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Such forward-looking statements include estimated financial information. Such forward-looking statements are based on management's reasonable current assumptions, expectations, plans and forecasts regarding the Company's and the Issuer's current or future results and future business and economic conditions more generally. Such forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievement of the Company or the Issuer to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, and there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from management's expectations. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements contained in this release are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are or were made, and Bioceres does not intend to update or otherwise revise the forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

Industry and Market Data

Unless otherwise noted, the forecasted industry and market data contained in the assumptions for the projections are based upon Bioceres' management estimates and industry and market publications and surveys. The information from industry and market publications has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but there can be no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of the included information. Neither Union nor Bioceres has independently verified any of the data from third-party sources, nor has Union or Bioceres ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied upon therein. While such information is believed to be reliable for the purposes used herein, none of Union, Bioceres, their respective affiliates, nor their respective directors, officers, employees, members, partners, shareholders or agents make any representation or warranty with respect to the accuracy of such information. These materials are highly sensitive and confidential and being supplied to you solely for your information and for use in this Presentation.

Financial Information Presentation

Historical financial information of Bioceres has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"). Investors should note that IFRS differs from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP"), and investors should consult their own professional advisors for an understanding of the difference between IFRS and US GAAP and how those differences might affect such financial statements.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This Presentation includes certain non-IFRS financial measures. These non-IFRS measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and neither should be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Bioceres believes that these non-IFRS measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to investors about Bioceres and its results. Bioceres' management uses these non-IFRS measures to evaluate Bioceres' financial and operating performance and make day-to-day financial and operating decisions. Bioceres' also believes that these non-IFRS measures are helpful to investors because they provide additional information about trends in Bioceres' core operating performance prior to considering the impact of capital structure, depreciation, amortization and taxation on its results. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-IFRS measures and their nearest IFRS equivalents. For example other companies may calculate non-IFRS measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore Bioceres' non-IFRS measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

In this presentation, we discuss non-IFRS measures as forward-lookingnon-IFRS measures as defined by Regulation G, with respect to Bioceres' expected future performance. Not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures is available without unreasonable efforts at this time. The probable significance of providing these measures is that the IFRS measures could be materially different.
