RESIGNATION OF DIRECTOR
Effective December 4, 2013, Stevia Corp. (the "Company"), received the
resignation of Rodney L. Cook as a member of the Company's Board of Directors.
APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTOR
Effective December 4, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors appointed Thomas
Ong as a member of the Company's Board of Directors, to fill the vacancy
resulting from the resignation of Rodney L. Cook. There is no arrangement or
understanding pursuant to which Mr. Ong was appointed as a member of the
Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Ong has no family relationships with any other
executive officers or directors of the Company, or persons nominated or chosen
by the Company to become directors or executive officers. Furthermore, the
Company is not aware of any transaction requiring disclosure under Item 404(a)
of Regulation S-K.
PROFESSIONAL HISTORY OF MR. THOMAS ONG
Since November 1, 2011, Mr. Ong has served as our Director of Operations, Asia.
Since November 6, 2009, Mr. Ong also serves as a Director of the Singapore
registered farm management firm Growers Synergy Pte Ltd, an agriculture
consultancy and farm management company producing and trading crops for the
domestic and export markets. He is a member of the SPRING Start-up Enterprise
Development Scheme (SPRING SEEDS) Investment Panel, a wholly owned subsidiary of
SPRING Singapore, a statutory board under the Singapore Ministry of Trade and
Industry, that provides equity-based co-financing options for Singapore-based
early-stage companies. Prior to focusing on the food supply sector, Mr. Ong was
a director of A.D. Venture Limited, a Singapore-registered fund investment and
management company with operating arms in Hong Kong and the People's Republic of
China (PRC). Previously, Mr. Ong served 5 years with the Ministry of the
Environment and subsequently joined the National Environment Agency (NEA) and
worked with the Economic Development Board (EDB), International Enterprise
Singapore (IE Singapore), Workforce Development Agency (WDA) and related
industry groups to promote high value environmental services to the domestic and
international markets. Mr. Ong received his Bachelor of Business Administration
from the National University of Singapore in 1995 and his Master of Science in
Information Studies from Nanyang Technological University in 2000. Mr. Ong's
familiarity with our operations specifically and Asian farm management generally
will be of great value to our Board of Directors. STOCK GRANT

appointed member of our Board of Directors, as compensation for future services.
These shares shall vest with respect to 750,000 shares of restricted stock on
