2. This document is being furnished to you strictly on a confidential basis and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the units of any fund
including Investeco Sustainable Food Fund (International), L.P. or Investeco Sustainable Food Fund, L.P. (in any case, the “Fund”). Each recipient of this
presentation hereby agrees to return it, and any copies of it, promptly upon request, to Investeco Capital Corp. Units of the Fund (“Units”) will only be offered to
pursuant to the Fund’s Private Placement Memorandum or Offering Memorandum (in either case, the ”PPM”), and only in those jurisdictions where and to those
persons to whom they may be lawfully offered for sale, and therein only by persons permitted to sell or issue such securities.
In making an investment decision, investors must not rely on this presentation, but rather on their own examination of the PPM, including the merits and significant
risk factors involved. Investment in the Fund is suitable only for qualified sophisticated investors and requires the financial ability and willingness to accept the high
risks and lack of liquidity inherent in an investment in the Fund. Investors must be prepared to bear such risks for an extended period of time. No assurance can be
given that the Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved or that investors will receive a return of or on their capital. Prospective investors should not construe the
contents of this presentation as legal, tax, regulatory, investment, financial or accounting advice, and each prospective investor is urged to consult with its own
advisors with respect to the legal, tax, regulatory, investment, financial, accounting and other consequences of an investment in the Fund.
None of the Fund, the general partner of the Fund, or Investeco Capital Corp. is registered as an investment fund manager, investment adviser, or investment dealer in
any jurisdiction. Accordingly investors will not receive any of the protections that would be afforded by such registrations.
The Units have not been approved or disapproved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or the Ontario Securities Commission (the
“OSC”) or by any state or other jurisdiction, nor has the SEC or OSC or any securities regulating authority passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the Fund, the
PPM, or this presentation. Any representation to the contrary is an offence.
Past performance of any investments described herein is not indicative of future returns. This presentation contains “forward-looking information”. Forward-looking
information includes, but is not limited to, information with respect to the operations, investment strategy and processes of the Fund as well as the Fund’s ability to
identify and conclude transactions with acquisition targets and complete subsequent liquidity events. Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the
use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects”, or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”,
“anticipates”, or “does not anticipate”, or “believes” or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”,
“might”, or “will be taken”, “occur”, or “be achieved”. Forward-looking information is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may
cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Fund, to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-
looking information, including risks associated with the private equity industry such as economic and market conditions, the ability to raise sufficient capital, the
ability to identify and conclude acquisitions of suitable investment opportunities and complete liquidity events on favorable terms. Implicit in this forward-looking
information are assumptions regarding the general economy, market demands, debt financing availability, currency exchange rates, interest rates and opportunities.
These assumptions, although considered reasonable by the General Partner based on information currently available to it, may prove to be incorrect. Although the
General Partner has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information,
there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such forward-looking information will
prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking information. The General Partner does not undertake to update any forward-looking information, except in accordance with
applicable securities laws. Furthermore the market information contained herein comes from third party sources. Although this information is believed to be
reasonable, no representation or warranty is made as to its accuracy in whole or in part.
Pursuant to U.S. Treasury Circular 230, we hereby advise investors that: (a) the advice addressed below is not intended or written to be used, and it cannot be used,
for the purpose of avoiding penalties that the Internal Revenue Service may attempt to impose on an investor, (b) the advice was written to support the promotion or
marketing of the matter(s) addressed below, and (c) investors should seek advice based on their particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.
