TORONTO - Jan 5/15 - SNS -- Viterra has entered into a supply and marketing agreement with Pacific Coast Canola LLC ("PCC") which will see PCC crush canola for Viterra at PCC's plant located at Warden, Washington.

In addition, an affiliate of Viterra, Glencore Grain Investment LLC, has increased its ownership in PCC to 50% for no cash consideration, and concurrently entered into an amended and restated Limited Liability Operating Agreement with McKinstry Holdings, Inc., who has acquired the remaining 50% ownership in PCC.
