<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On December&nbsp;26, 2014, Darling Ingredients Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) issued a press release announcing that it expected to benefit
from the newly signed into law Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014, which reinstated retroactively the federal biodiesel mixture excise tax credit for 2014. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This Current Report, including Exhibit 99.1, contains forward-looking statements regarding the business operations and prospects of Darling
Ingredients Inc. and industry factors affecting it. These statements are identified by words such as &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;could,&#148; &#147;may,&#148;
&#147;will,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;planned,&#148; &#147;potential,&#148; &#147;continue,&#148; &#147;momentum,&#148; and other words referring to events that may occur in the future. These statements reflect Darling Ingredient&#146;s
current view of future events and are based on its assessment of, and are subject to, a variety of risks and uncertainties beyond its control, each of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking
statements. These factors include, among others, existing and unknown future limitations on the ability of the Company&#146;s direct and indirect subsidiaries to upstream their profits to the Company for payments on the Company&#146;s indebtedness
or other purposes; general performance of the U.S. and global economies; disturbances in world financial, credit, commodities and stock markets; any decline in consumer confidence and discretionary spending, including the inability of consumers and
companies to obtain credit due to lack of liquidity in the financial markets; volatile prices for natural gas and diesel fuel; climate conditions; unanticipated costs or operating problems related to the acquisition and integration of Rothsay and
Darling Ingredients International (including transactional costs and integration of the new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system); global demands for bio-fuels and grain and oilseed commodities, which have exhibited volatility, and can impact
the cost of feed for cattle, hogs and poultry, thus affecting available rendering feedstock and selling prices for the Company&#146;s products; reductions in raw material volumes available to the Company due to weak margins in the meat production
industry as a result of higher feed costs, reduced consumer demand or other factors, reduced volume from food service establishments, reduced demand for animal feed, or otherwise; reduced finished product prices; changes to worldwide government
policies relating to renewable fuels and greenhouse gas emissions that adversely affect programs like the National Renewable Fuel Standard Program (RFS2) and tax credits for biofuels both in the U.S. and abroad; possible product recall resulting
from developments relating to the discovery of unauthorized adulterations to food or food additives; the occurrence of Bird Flu including, but not limited to H1N1 flu, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (or &#147;BSE&#148;), porcine epidemic diarrhea
(&#147;PED&#148;) or other diseases associated with animal origin in the U.S. or elsewhere; unanticipated costs and/or reductions in raw material volumes related to the Company&#146;s compliance with the existing or unforeseen new U.S. or foreign
regulations (including, without limitation, China) affecting the industries in which the Company operates or its value added products (including new or modified animal feed, Bird Flu, PED or BSE or similar or unanticipated regulations); risks
associated with the renewable diesel plant in Norco, Louisiana owned and operated by a joint venture between Darling Ingredients and Valero Energy Corporation, including possible unanticipated operating disruptions; risks relating to possible third
party claims of intellectual property infringement; increased contributions to the Company&#146;s pension and benefit plans, including multiemployer and employer-sponsored defined benefit pension plans as required by legislation, regulation or other
applicable U.S. or foreign law or resulting from a U.S. mass withdrawal event; bad debt write-offs; loss of or failure to obtain necessary permits and registrations; continued or escalated conflict in the Middle East, North Korea, Ukraine or
elsewhere; and/or unfavorable export or import markets. Other risks and uncertainties regarding Darling Ingredients Inc., its business and the industries in which it operates are referenced from time to time in the Company&#146;s filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Darling Ingredients Inc. is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise. </P>

Ingredients&nbsp;Inc. (NYSE: DAR)&nbsp;announced today that it&nbsp;expects to benefit from the newly signed into law Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014, which reinstated retroactively the federal biodiesel mixture excise tax credit for 2014. The
amount of the retroactive credit for Fiscal 2014 is estimated to result in a net benefit to Darling of approximately $65 million. A significant portion of this credit will be attributable to Diamond Green Diesel, Darling&#146;s 50/50 joint venture
with Valero Energy Services Corporation. It is anticipated that Diamond Green Diesel will use a portion of the proceeds to retire debt, with the excess proceeds to be distributed as a dividend to its joint venture partners. <B> </B></P>
