Explanatory Note



On October 3, 2016, Green Plains Inc. (“Green Plains”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “original 8-K”) disclosing that on October 3, 2016, Green Plains acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of SCI Ingredients Holdings, Inc. (“SCI”). SCI is the holding company of Fleischmann’s Vinegar Company, Inc.



In the original 8-K, Green Plains indicated that it expected to file any required historical and pro forma financial statements related to the acquired business by amendment not later than 71 calendar days after the original 8-K was required to be filed. Upon further analysis following completion of the acquisition, Green Plains has determined that the acquired business was not significant under Section 11-01(b) of Regulation S-X and that such historical and pro forma financial statements are therefore not required. Accordingly, Green Plains hereby amends Items 9.01(a) and 9.01(b) of the original 8-K to eliminate the references to the potential subsequent filing of historical financial statements and pro forma financial statements, respectively



Except as described above and below, all other information in the original 8-K filed on October 3, 2016 remains unchanged.



Item 9.01Financial Statements and Exhibits.



(a) Financial statements of businesses acquired.



None.   



(b) Pro forma financial information. 



None.
