Update Regarding Special Meeting and Vote

Dear West Central Patron Members:

As you may already know, on November 4, 2024, West Central Ag Services received an unsolicited bid to be acquired by The Arthur Companies. Our Board of Directors has reviewed this unsolicited offer and has decided to postpone the November 7, 2024 patron meeting until November 26, 2024 in order to further evaluate this offer. Rest assured, our Board of Directors is taking The Arthur Companies offer seriously and is focused on ensuring the best outcome for our patron members. We apologize for this inconvenience, as we know many of you have made special arrangements to attend the November 7 patron meeting to exercise your vote with this important matter. As always, you may reach out to the West Central executive management team if you have any questions or concerns.
