<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">CHICAGO, March&nbsp;24, 2017&#151;Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM) released the following statement today: </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;On February&nbsp;6, our Decatur corn processing complex suffered a weather-related power outage. While working to restart the plant, we discovered a
significant leak in a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">72-inch</FONT> pipe feeding cooling water to the mill. We shut the plant down while we worked to make temporary repairs to the pipe. On February&nbsp;11, we restarted the plant at partial
capacity. On February&nbsp;15, we ramped up to full capacity. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;On February&nbsp;22, in the process of effecting more permanent repairs, the pipe
failed again. We shut down the facility for about a day, restarting at partial capacity on February&nbsp;23, and full capacity on February 26. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;The
cooling water that left the pipe was retained within our containment system. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We have put in place contingency plans that will allow the facility to
continue operations if such failures occur in the future. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We expect this event to have a small negative impact on our results for the first
quarter, principally in our Corn Processing business.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>About ADM </B></P>
