To Unit Holders of Central Iowa Energy, LLC:

Recently, you received a W-9 Form requesting that you provide your taxpayer identification number and return the document to “Registrar and Transfer Company”. Registrar and Transfer Company has been hired by Renewable Energy Group, Inc. (“REG”) as its transfer agent to assist in REG’s proposed consolidation with CIE, in the event that such consolidation is approved by CIE’s unitholders and all other conditions to closing of the transaction are satisfied. However; we have been informed that the Registrar and Transfer Company has sent these W-9 forms automatically and without contacting us or REG for approval. We hereby advise you to ignore the forms and discard the letter. This information will be requested at the appropriate time at a later date. We apologize for the confusion that this premature mailing may have created.

The consolidation process with REG is moving forward albeit at a slower pace that was originally thought. At this writing, the Securities and Exchange Commission has not yet approved the registration statement and joint proxy statement for the proposed consolidation. Once SEC approval is received, the final joint proxy statement will be printed and mailed to you. We will be scheduling an informational meeting at a time after the mailing of the final joint proxy statement. We will also be scheduling a special member meeting to consider and vote upon the proposed consolidation transaction.

We hope that this will prove to be informative and helpful to you. We will provide additional information as it is available.

Regards,

(SIGNATURE)

Derek Winkel
