Sales Communiqué – July 2018 Page 9 of 163.6 Special terms and conditions
Buyers must take possession of unpasteurized barrels before September 30, 2018;
Once your possession dates are set and have been communicated to the Sales Agency, it is important to respect the dates
you have committed to because preparing the quantities ordered requires considerable time and logistics.
The lots available mirror the current grading. They include syrups with BRIX levels that are sometimes below 66.0 degrees.
As per the Agreement, the price of these barrels will be reduced according to the conditions set out in Article 9.12. If you
only want syrup with a density of 66.0 BRIX and over, please inform us and we will adjust the lots appropriately. Here is the
breakdown:
o Between 65.0 and 65.9: 9% of regular lots and 2% of organic lots
o BRIX lower than 65.0: 2% of regular lots
Sometimes the barrels we receive from producers are not completely full. For this reason, some of your order may contain
barrels that are not full. However, to preserve syrup quality as much as possible, we will never include barrels that are less
than 80% of the weight of a full barrel.
Given the high volume of barrel returns that needs to be managed in a very short time span at our warehouses (Laurierville
and Plessisville), we strongly urge you to return unwashed barrels to the locations where you took possession of the syrup.
We can wash them for you for a fee of $5.49 a barrel. We believe proceeding in this way will accelerate the return of empty
barrels.
Barrels should be returned according to the following schedule:
o 30% of barrels must be returned on November 1, 2018.
o A further 50% must be returned on December 1, 2018 (cumulative total of 80%).
o The remaining 20% must be returned on January 15, 2019 (cumulative total of 100%).
Sales Communiqué – July 2018 Page 10 of 164 ACCESS AND DELIVERY POLICY The conditions stated in this communiqué will apply until November 30, 2018, inclusive. 4.1 Background Please note that data concerning the inventory of maple syrup received and retained by the Federation may vary daily based on syrup receipts for the current marketing year and confirmed purchase orders received. A certain number of lots, including a list of specific barrel numbers, is assigned to the buyer when the purchase offer is signed. It is expressly understood that, following regrading of syrup from different lots, some maple syrup of one grade may be regraded to a superior or inferior grade, so that the percentages of maple syrup for grades within a given lot may vary. The Federation does not assume any responsibility in this regard. The lot will then be sold according to its actual composition. The Federation does not guarantee any order whatsoever beyond the specifically announced inventories or quantities. Maple syrup for the current marketing year may be pasteurized or unpasteurized depending on availability. Depending on availability, the maple syrup will be located in the Federation’s warehouses in Laurierville and Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly, or in the Citadelle warehouses. 4.2 Terms of sale Maple syrup will be available according to the following terms: Sales Communiqué – July 2018 Page 11 of 16
First round First, any authorized buyer, provided that they comply with the provisions of the Agreement, has from July 9, 2018 to 5:00 p.m. on July 19, 2018, to offer to purchase, through a firm, irrevocable and unconditional offer, maple syrup from the inventory by email to the following address: fpaq.acheteurs@upa.qc.ca or by fax to the following number: 450-679-1827. As specified in article 10.01 d) of the Agreement, in cases where authorized buyers’ purchase offers for a grade of maple syrup from the Federation's inventory are greater than the amount of syrup actually available in that grade, the syrup is distributed and sold among all the authorized buyers who requested the purchase in proportion to the average volume of syrup purchased by each buyer over the last three years, up to the quantity each requested to purchase. Second round Next, once the first round is complete, i.e. starting July 20, 2018, the Federation will sell the balance of the syrups offered during the first round until September 30, 2018, to any buyer, whether authorized or not. Any such buyer, provided they honour the provisions of the Agreement, may acquire lots from the Inventory, by submitting a firm, irrevocable and unconditional offer. Nonetheless, in compliance with the provisions of article 10 of the Agreement, no unauthorized buyer may acquire a total greater than 500,000 pounds of syrup, all grades combined, or a total greater than 1 million pounds if an authorized buyer. During the second round, maple syrup will be sold on a "first come, first served" basis. "Agreement" growth discount For all lots offered in this communiqué, a growth discount of $0.10/pound applies in accordance with the terms of Article 4.01 d) of the 2017-2018 Marketing Agreement for Maple Syrup. According to the article, this discount will be granted to the authorized buyer and applied on the portion (maximum 10% in volume) of syrup purchased in 2018 that exceeds their purchases of the previous year (2017). This price reduction will be applied by the Federation at the end of the marketing year, February 28, 2019. This discount is only available to authorized buyers who have a minimum-purchase history of three (3) years with the Sales Agency. 4.3 Barrels Pasteurized syrup will be contained in 45.76-gallon single-use food-grade barrels. For pasteurized syrup purchases, the prices set out in this communiqué include full ownership of the barrels. These are single-use barrels and buyers must ensure that they will not Sales Communiqué – July 2018 Page 12 of 16
at any time be reused to contain maple products again. To ensure this, when they dispose of these barrels, buyers must take the necessary steps to alter these containers so that they can never again become reusable. By way of example, holes may be made in the bottoms of these barrels, or they may be destroyed by a metal recycler, with evidence to prove it. Any buyer who does not comply with this provision will be required to pay a fine of $50 per barrel if these barrels are rediscovered on the market. The provisions of the Agreement apply to unpasteurized maple syrup barrels for the 2018 marketing year, if applicable. For unpasteurized syrup purchases, the buyer must pay the Federation a refundable deposit of $150 per barrel, when taking receipt of a maple syrup delivery, to cover the new replacement value of the barrels in case of breakage or heavy damage making them unusable, with evidence to prove it. The deposit will be made through a wireless transfer deposited in the Federation's account or by delivery of an irrevocable letter of credit to the Federation, valid until March 31, 2019, to the Federation's satisfaction. The buyer must return these barrels to the warehouse from which they came, at the buyer's expense and in the state in which they were received, no later than January 15, 2019, and these barrels must be clean and properly steam-washed according to good professional practices. For any barrel that is not returned within the time frame and for any barrel seriously damaged by the buyer, the buyer must pay the Federation the current replacement cost for a new barrel of the same kind and dimensions. The buyer must also pay the Federation the current costs for any barrel not properly washed. 4.4 Quality audit, related costs and contributions to the CIE Fees related to the initial quality audit of the syrup ($0.0075/pound), conducted by a specialized company, will be added to the agreed upon price in order to defray the costs of this audit. Contributions to the Conseil de l’industrie de l’érable (CIE), according to the “Règlement sur la contribution des acheteurs du produit visé par le Plan conjoint des producteurs acéricoles du Québec au Conseil de l’industrie de l’érable”, currently corresponding to $0.005/pound, will be added to the agreed upon price. Finally, if the buyer so wishes, the Federation will undertake an additional quality audit of pasteurized maple syrup (not applicable to this current communiqué). In this case, an additional fee of $0.0075/pound will be added to the agreed upon price. If no additional audit is requested, the buyer must sign the "Resolution for the purchase of unpasteurized and pasteurized maple syrup Sales Communiqué – July 2018 Page 13 of 16
for which there is no order for regrading," a copy of which is attached to this communiqué upon signing a maple syrup purchasing
agreement.
4.5 Syrup eligibility conditions
All buyers must comply with the provisions of the Agreement to take advantage of these terms. In addition, all buyers must sign a
maple syrup purchasing agreement to the Federation's satisfaction.
Maple syrup is available for any buyer who wants it with the exception of the following buyers:
a) buyers who are currently under investigation by the Federation for non-compliance with applicable regulations and the
Agreement;
b) buyers who the Federation has reasonable grounds to believe are not complying with applicable regulations and the
Agreement.
4.6 Payment conditions and maple syrup delivery
For maple syrup volumes bought in the first round, authorized buyers who have provided a letter of guarantee or joint guarantee in
their authorization request are eligible for similar payment terms to yearly syrup payment. Administratively, the Federation will regard
any unpasteurized syrup bought as a transfer between the relevant FPAQ warehouse and that of the authorized buyer. The syrup
will therefore be considered on consignment, with applicable fees.
Once the syrup has been transferred, the buyer must choose the barrels they wish to buy, a minimum of 30% of barrels
transferred, and these barrels will be invoiced by the Federation and are payable on the 15th day of the following month.
Transferred unpurchased barrels will remain on consignment and are payable upon use.
Any barrels still on consignment on October 15, 2018, must be bought and paid for in 25% increments or greater on November 15,
2018, December 15, 2018, January 15, 2019. and the remaining amount on February 15, 2019, if applicable. Note that the minimum
purchase volume (30%) of transferred barrels is in addition to the minimum purchase volume of the monthly grades, if applicable.
Sales Communiqué – July 2018 Page 14 of 16The price of the maple syrup and costs related to the quality audit must be paid through a bank wire transfer into the Federation's account before the buyer takes possession of the product. The buyer must guarantee reimbursement to the Federation of any customs costs related to completing the purchasing transaction for direct sales for export. Any activity related to placement in tanks, if applicable, must be carried out entirely by the buyer who requests it and who must bear the costs for it. The maple syrup must be delivered at the buyer's expense to warehouses designated by the Federation during normal business hours and with at least 24 hours' notice, no later than July 19, 2018. 5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION For more information or any questions about these terms, please contact Ms. Chantal Fortin at 1-855-679-7021, ext. 8470, or Ms. Isabelle Lapointe at 1-855-679-7021, ext. 8521.
