IQPC's Timberland Investment World Summit offers one of the premier opportunities to become better informed. - Reid Carter, Managin g Partner, Brookfield Asset Man agement Dear Investor, Welcome to IQPC’s 6th Timberlan d Investment World Summit, the most important event of the year for investment opportunities in the timberland space. Timberland has always been an attra ctive asset class: investors have been drawn not only to the steady, strong returns, but also by the low volatility and non-correlation with globa l stock prices. In 2009, however, many investors are newly interested in timberland due to its effec tiveness as an inflation hedge. By some estimates, the Obam a stimulus package has increased the monetary base of the US economy by the equivalent of $24, 000 for every man, woman and child in the country, prompting many investors to seek refuge in asset s that offer protection against inflat ion, like timberland. But how should investors square the inflation-beating, historical performan ce of timberland with the current pricing discrepancy in whic h lumber prices are falling on the back of a soft real estate market, but timberland prices keep rising? Some commentators argue that timb erland prices are unnaturally high, and that investors should wait for the “bubble” to burst. Othe rs, forecasting a strong future for glob al wood products demand, think that now is a good time to invest. With uncertainty at an all time high , it’s more important than ever to hear from the true experts of the timberland space. Once again, IQPC has convened an inspiring spea ker faculty of the world’s top analysts, most successful timberlan d investors, and leading industry pion eers to help you make sense of this challenging, yet potentially lucrative asset class. Whether you’r e an existing investor – keen to maximize the value of your current investment – or new to the asset class , the event delivers the specific insights you need in order to act with confidence. Key highlight s include: • Chip Dillon, Paper and Forest Prod ucts Analyst with Credit Suisse, consistently ranked one of the top 3 paper and forest prod ucts analysts in the world, will exclu sively deliver a macroeconomic keynote address on the changing global drivers of supp ly and demand – see page 4 • Don’t miss Miles Drake, Chief Tech nology Officer of Weyerhaeuse r, who will uncover the latest strategies for boosting timber returns through high-yield forestry • technologies – see page 6 Listen to key institutional perspectiv es from TIAA-CREF, APG, and Jack son Fire & Police Fund, about the most effective strategies for implementing timberland into your investment portfolio – see page 5 • The Campbell Group, RMK, and Timbervest are all sending their CEO s to join our C-Level Discussion panel: unmissable insights on the future of the TIMO – see page 4.

For those new to timberland investments, this breakfast workshop will provide you with essential, practical know-how about accessing the asset class, avoiding common pitfalls, and structuring your investment correctly to maximize returns. Your workshop leader is Dr Jack Lutz, Director of Global Research and Valuations for FourWinds Capital Management, who brings 25 years of timberland investing experience. • • 11:00am – 1:30pm Dr Jack Lutz Director of Global Research and Valuation FourWinds Capital Management Turning Mitigation Banking, Conservation Easements, and Clean Water Services into Powerful Additional Cash Flows What you will learn: • Gaining visibility over the full spectrum of ecosystem services • Structuring ecosystem services to maximize your returns 2:00pm – 4:30pm • How you will benefit: • Gain the financial freedom to harvest your timber during optimal market conditions • Diversify and strengthen your revenue streams • Reduce your exposure to unfavorable market conditions Generating Ancillary Revenues through Ecosystem Services Workshop leader to be confirmed – please check www.timberlandworldsummit.com for further details Optimizing valuation, negotiation and litigation for easements and condemnations How you will benefit: • Gain visibility over market rates for easements and condemnations • Negotiate and litigate effectively with oil and gas companies and other issuers of easements • Don’t get short-changed!

Scott W. James Attorney of Law Scanes, Routh & James, LLP 5:00pm – 7:30pm Extracting Maximum Value from Your Timberland Investment David Simpson President and Chief Executive Officer Avinger Timber LLC and Simpson Capital LLC What you will learn: • Litigating terms and values for easements and condemnations • Principles for selecting attorneys and appraisers • The dos and the don’ts of negotiating easements • Determining condemnation values and remainder impact values 4:30pm Registration (Dinner Served) An In-Depth Review of Timberland Valuation Practices for Investors Valuing timberland accurately is perhaps the most essential prerequisite for a successful investment strategy, and certainly one of the hardest to get right. The valuation process is long, complex, and there are as many variables to consider as there are trees in the forest. Fortunately, though, by consistently implementing certain key principles within the appraisal and discounting processes, you can achieve an accurate valuation and make informed investment decisions. What you will learn: • A deconstruction of market dynamics and discount rates in the US and overseas timberland markets • The impact of financing on timberland market values • Weighing best practices and on-the-ground realities for international markets 3 Understanding how to do business and negotiate effectively with non-profit, conservation and government organizations 1:30pm Registration Many landowners receive less than 30% of their property values when negotiating easements and condemnations due to inexperience in remainder impact valuation in partial takings, negotiation and litigation practices. The average easement and condemnation for knowledgeable landowners and professionals is over $10,000/acre while the average easement for the uninformed is less than $3,000/acre. Knowledge is value added. Attending this workshop will provide you detailed discussion and examples for appraising, documenting, negotiating and litigating easements, right-of-ways, oil/gas wells, and condemnations for landowners and professionals alike. D Timberland 101 10:30am Registration (Lunch Served) As lumber prices soften on the back of a weak real estate market, timberland owners are increasingly looking to delay harvesting while extracting maximum financial value from alternative revenue streams. Ecosystem services – encompassing clean water provision, carbon sequestration, and natural habitat protection and enhancement – can deliver powerful ancillary cash flows if structured effectively, giving landowners the financial security to delay harvesting if necessary and diversify their sources of income. Attending this lunch-time workshop will provide you with an essential overview of the ecosystem services your forest can deliver, and help you make informed decisions about turning these into revenue opportunities.
