S&W Seed Company Completes the Acquisition of S&W Seed Company Partnership

S&W Seed Company (NasdaqCM: SANWU) today announced that it has completed the final tranche of its purchase of the S&W Seed Company, a California general partnership. As described in the May 3, 2010 prospectus for its initial public offering, this was the 15% of the general partnership not already owned by Seed Holding, LLC, its wholly-owned subsidiary. As a result, the general partnership has ceased to exist, and the business and property of the partnership is now wholly-owned and operated by S&W Seed Company and its subsidiary. Pursuant to applicable accounting rules, the financial statements in the prospectus already reflect Seed Holding owning 100% of the partnership at December 31, 2009.

“We are pleased to own 100% of the business and we look forward to executing on our strategic initiatives,” commented Matt Szot, Chief Financial Officer.
