      from the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies,&#8221; dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the &#8220;<u>Order</u>&#8221;) to delay the filing of its Quarterly Financial Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 (the &#8220;<u>Report</u>&#8221;)
      due to circumstances related to COVID-19.&#160; In particular, COVID-19 has caused severe disruptions in transportation and limited Company personnel&#8217;s safe access to the Company&#8217;s facilities, resulting in limited support from its staff and professional
      advisors during this time.&#160; These disruptions and limitations have, in turn, delayed the Company&#8217;s ability to execute on and prepare the Report.&#160; Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expects to file the Report no later than June 29, 2020 (which
      is 45 days from the Report&#8217;s original filing deadline of May 15, 2020).</div>
    <div>&#160;</div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">The reason the Report cannot be filed timely does not relate to the inability of any person, other than the Company, to furnish any required opinion, report, or certification.</div>
    <div>&#160;</div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic and the related circumstances affecting the Company, the Company will be including the following Risk Factors in its Report, in addition to any other Risk
      Factors that may become material between the date hereof and the date the Report is filed:</div>
    <div>&#160;</div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">The COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations, financial condition, and demand for our products depending on the severity and longevity of the pandemic and its
      effects.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify;">The COVID-19 pandemic is currently impacting countries, communities, supply chains and commodities markets, in addition to the global financial markets.&#160; This pandemic has resulted in social distancing, travel bans,
      governmental stay-at-home orders, and quarantines, and these may limit access to our facilities, customers, suppliers, management, support staff and professional advisors.&#160; At this time it is not possible to fully assess the impact of the COVID-19
      pandemic on the Company&#8217;s operations and capital requirements, but the aforementioned factors, among other things, may impact our operations, financial condition and demand for our products, as well as our overall ability to react timely and mitigate
      the impact of this event.&#160; Furthermore, the aforementioned factors may hamper efforts to comply with our filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.&#160; Depending on its severity and longevity, the COVID-19 pandemic may have a
      material adverse effect on our business, customers, and members.</div>

Other Events.
Southwest Iowa Renewable Energy, LLC (the "
Company
") will rely on the Securities and Exchange Commission's "Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Modifying Exemptions
      from the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies," dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the "
Order
") to delay the filing of its Quarterly Financial Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 (the "
Report
")
      due to circumstances related to COVID-19.  In particular, COVID-19 has caused severe disruptions in transportation and limited Company personnel's safe access to the Company's facilities, resulting in limited support from its staff and professional
      advisors during this time.  These disruptions and limitations have, in turn, delayed the Company's ability to execute on and prepare the Report.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expects to file the Report no later than June 29, 2020 (which
      is 45 days from the Report's original filing deadline of May 15, 2020).
The reason the Report cannot be filed timely does not relate to the inability of any person, other than the Company, to furnish any required opinion, report, or certification.
In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic and the related circumstances affecting the Company, the Company will be including the following Risk Factors in its Report, in addition to any other Risk
      Factors that may become material between the date hereof and the date the Report is filed:
The COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations, financial condition, and demand for our products depending on the severity and longevity of the pandemic and its
      effects.
The COVID-19 pandemic is currently impacting countries, communities, supply chains and commodities markets, in addition to the global financial markets.  This pandemic has resulted in social distancing, travel bans,
      governmental stay-at-home orders, and quarantines, and these may limit access to our facilities, customers, suppliers, management, support staff and professional advisors.  At this time it is not possible to fully assess the impact of the COVID-19
      pandemic on the Company's operations and capital requirements, but the aforementioned factors, among other things, may impact our operations, financial condition and demand for our products, as well as our overall ability to react timely and mitigate
      the impact of this event.  Furthermore, the aforementioned factors may hamper efforts to comply with our filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Depending on its severity and longevity, the COVID-19 pandemic may have a
      material adverse effect on our business, customers, and members.
