| * | Per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures accepted for purchase | |
| (a) | Subject to a maximum tender amount of $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount as described in the Offer to Purchase | |
The terms and conditions of the tender offers are described in the Offer to Purchase dated June 1, 2015, and related Letter of Transmittal. Copies of these documents are available to holders from D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender and information agent for the tender offers.
The tender offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 30, 2015, unless extended.
Holders must tender their Debentures by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 12, 2015, unless extended, to be eligible to receive the applicable total consideration (which includes the applicable early tender payment set out above). Holders who tender their Debentures after such date and prior to the expiration date will be eligible to receive the applicable total consideration less the early tender payment.
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 Debentures discounted to the 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 11:00 a.m., New York City time on June 15, 2015, plus the applicable fixed spread, minus accrued interest up to, but not including, the settlement date, which is currently expected to be July 1, 2015.
The company will only purchase up to $1,000,000,000 aggregate purchase price of the Debentures in the tender offers, and the amount of each series of Debentures that will be purchased will be determined in accordance with the Acceptance Priority Levels set forth above and may be prorated as described in the Offer to Purchase. In addition, the aggregate principal amount of the 4.479% Debentures due 2021 that may be purchased is subject to a maximum tender amount of $250,000,000 as described in the Offer to Purchase.
All Debentures with the Acceptance Priority Level 1 will be accepted before any Debentures with the Acceptance Priority Level 2 and so forth through succeeding levels. If the aggregate purchase price of Debentures tendered in any series exceeds the remaining amount available for such series, such Debentures will be accepted on a pro rata basis (such that the aggregate purchase price does not exceed $1,000,000,000). In that event, Debentures with an Acceptance Priority Level following the prorated series of Debentures will not be accepted for payment.
Withdrawal rights for all tender offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 12, 2015, unless extended or otherwise required by law.
The settlement date is expected to be one business day following the expiration of the tender offers. Payments for Debentures purchased will include accrued interest up to, but not including, the settlement date.
The consummation of the tender offers is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions, including the financing condition, set forth in the Offer to Purchase.
ADM has retained Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Merrill Lynch, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as lead dealer managers, and D.F. King & Co., Inc. as the tender and information agent for the tender offers.
