Methodology

Anglo-Eastern Plantations refined from 2-row to 4-row breakdown to separate planted vs concession-stage area within each country — addressing a key methodology caveat from the prior version. Indonesia Sumatra: - Mature planted (110K acres / ~45K ha): premium $5,500/acre - Unplanted concession (87.7K acres / ~36K ha): deep discount $1,500/acre Malaysia Sabah: - Mature planted (60K acres / ~24K ha): $5,000/acre - Unplanted concession (38.8K acres / ~16K ha): $1,200/acre This is the critical caveat for AEP. The total 296K-acre denominator includes ~50% unplanted concession area; mature-only valuation of the planted base would imply $5K/acre vs the 1.0K/acre weighted-average across the full concession. AEP's net cash position of $182M (essentially zero debt) creates substantial equity-side optionality not reflected in the per-acre table.
