Water Thematic
Model
• Tandou sells water when economic outlook for water sales outperforms cropping
• Tandou trades entitlements generating maximum return from portfolio.
Scarce Resource & Restricted Supply - Water is an increasingly scarce resource
• No new licenses likely to be issued, without new dams
• Projected environmental demand will hold 25–30% of Murray Darling Basin (MDB) water entitlements by 2019
• Australia is one of the only jurisdictions globally to invest in water entitlements
Demand
• Increasing global food demand will increase demand for high value, reliable (i.e. irrigated) food production

Water Thematic
Developing Market - Australian water market is immature and inefficient
• Growing in liquidity, functionality and connectedness
• Increasingly presents opportunities
Integration & Experience –Tandou has significant water trading experience
• Benefits from in-house knowledge and consumption
• Can be leveraged across both water sales and purchasing
Scale & Diversity – Tandou has a significant, diverse, actively managed portfolio of water entitlements in the southern connected MDB
• Largest single basin
• Diversity of demand

A Water Entitlement is a perpetual right to a share of water from a specified water
resource. They are exclusive, separate from the land title and legally enforceable. Water
Entitlements can be bought, sold and leased.
A Water Allocation is a function of owning a water entitlement, a volume of water is
allocated to the water entitlement holder each year. This water allocation is available for
consumptive use, or sale to other water users in the market.
