* Per $1,000 principal amount of Securities accepted for purchase

The tender offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 5, 2020, unless extended.

The applicable total consideration will be determined as described in the Offer to Purchase based on the present value of future payments on the applicable Securities discounted to the Early Settlement Date at a rate equal to the sum of the yield to maturity for the applicable reference security, calculated by the lead dealer managers based on the bid-side price at 10:00 a.m., New York City time on September 22, 2020, plus the applicable fixed spread, minus accrued interest up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date or the Final Settlement Date, as applicable, which are currently expected to be September 23, 2020 and October 6, 2020, respectively.

It is expected that ADM will purchase up to $664,843,000 aggregate principal amount of the above-listed tendered Securities on the Early Settlement Date, which represents the full amount of the Securities tendered and not withdrawn by the Early Tender Time.

The consummation of the tender offers is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase.
