ADM increases tender cap to US$500 million

Archer Daniels Midland Company has increased the maximum aggregate principal amount of the following debentures subject to its previously announced cash tender offers from US$400 million to US$500 million.

All other terms and conditions of the offers remain unchanged.

As of 5:00 pm, New York City time, February 22, 2010, the early tender time, the following amounts of Debentures have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in connection with the cash tender offers, as reported by the depositary. These Debentures, if accepted, will be eligible for the early tender payment of US$30.00 per US$1,000.00 principal amount of Debentures.

Debentures tendered prior to the early tender time can no longer be withdrawn. The terms and conditions of the tender offers are described in detail in the Offer to Purchase dated February 11, 2010, and the related Letter of Transmittal, as amended here.

The aggregate principal amounts of Debentures accepted will depend upon the acceptance priority level of each series, as indicated above, and the proration mechanics described in the Offer to Purchase. Any tendered Debentures not accepted will be promptly returned to the tendering parties.

ADM's obligations to accept any Debentures tendered and to pay the applicable consideration for them are set forth solely in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal. This is not an offer to purchase or a solicitation of acceptance of the tender offers. Subject to applicable law, ADM may amend, extend or, subject to certain conditions, terminate the tender offers.
