On April 12, 2017, Green Plains Inc. (the

of the Companys common stock, par value $0.01 per share, plus approximately $10.6 million of common stock based on the volume weighted average prices on April 13, 2017, to April 20, 2017, and cash in the amount of accrued but
unpaid interest on the 2018 Notes up to, but excluding, the initial exchange settlement date, will be exchanged for approximately $24.1 million in aggregate principal amount of 2018 Notes. The Company expects to exchange the initial shares on
April 19, 2017, and the additional shares on April 25, 2017, subject to customary closing conditions.
