acceptance priority level and prorated as provided in the Offer to Purchase. As
previously announced, the tender offers for ADM&#146;s 6.625% Debentures due May&nbsp;2029 (CUSIP
No.&nbsp;039483AR3), 6.75% Debentures due December&nbsp;2027 (CUSIP No.&nbsp;039483AN2) and 8.375%
Debentures due April&nbsp;2017 (CUSIP No.&nbsp;039483AH5) representing the lowest priority levels in
the original tender offers were terminated and, therefore, these series are not included
