Supplement to Proxy Statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be Held on May 23, 2024

*************

Explanatory Note

This proxy statement supplement dated April 30, 2024 (this “Supplement”) supplements and amends the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (“ADM,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) on April 10, 2024, relating to our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 23, 2024 (the “Annual Meeting”).

Following the filing of the Proxy Statement, ADM and Vikram Luthar, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer who was on administrative leave at the time the Proxy Statement was filed, entered into a Transition Agreement (the “Transition Agreement”), dated as of April 19, 2024, which provides for certain compensation actions, some of which impact the disclosures in the Proxy Statement. As a result, we are providing this Supplement to include a description of the Transition Agreement in the Proxy Statement and to update certain compensation tables and related information in the Proxy Statement as they relate to Mr. Luthar.

Except as specifically set forth herein, this Supplement does not otherwise modify or update any other disclosures presented in the Proxy Statement. We encourage you to read this Supplement carefully and in its entirety, together with the Proxy Statement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Supplement have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement.

If you have already voted by Internet, telephone, or mail, you do not need to take any action unless you wish to change your vote. Proxy voting instructions already returned by stockholders (via Internet, telephone, or mail) will remain valid and will be voted at the Annual Meeting unless revoked. Important information regarding how to vote your shares and revoke proxies is available in the Proxy Statement under the caption “General Information About the Annual Meeting and Voting – Commonly Asked Questions and Answers about the Annual Meeting – How do I vote my shares and what can I do if I change my mind after I vote my shares?” on page 6 of the Proxy Statement.

Transition Agreement

The Transition Agreement provides that Mr. Luthar will resign effective September 30, 2024 (unless an earlier date is mutually agreed between the Company and Mr. Luthar) (the period between the date of the Transition Agreement and such resignation date is referred to herein as the “Transition Period”). During the Transition Period, Mr. Luthar will be available to assist the Company and provide transitional support as needed, as a

non-executive

employee.

In determining to enter into the Transition Agreement and making the compensation determinations for Mr. Luthar described below, the Board of Directors and the Compensation and Succession Committee considered the obligations of Mr. Luthar under the Transition Agreement, which, among other things, require Mr. Luthar to assist in transition and cooperate with the Company during the Transition Period and thereafter, return any Company property, and comply with his confidentiality obligations, a

non-disparagement

provision and the restrictive covenants applicable under the equity award agreements to which he is a party, in addition to being subject to a release of any claims against the Company.

Pursuant to the Transition Agreement, Mr. Luthar will receive a payment under the Company’s 2023 annual cash incentive program in the amount of $743,419. As disclosed in the Proxy Statement, awards under the 2023 annual cash incentive program were based on both Company performance (75% weight) and individual performance (25% weight). For 2023, the Compensation and Succession Committee determined that ADM attained results leading to an overall Company performance portion payout of 95.9% of target. In connection with the Transition Agreement, the Compensation and Succession Committee determined that Mr. Luthar would not receive any payout for his individual performance component of the 2023 annual cash incentive program. As a result, the Compensation and Succession Committee approved a total payout for Mr. Luthar of $743,419, which was 95.9% of his target cash incentive opportunity of $775,000 and which, as discussed above and in the Proxy Statement, is based solely on the same Company performance payout of 95.9% of target which was taken into account in calculating the annual cash incentive payments for all of the other named executive officers. Such amount will be paid to Mr. Luthar within 30 days following April 27, 2024.

As discussed in the Proxy Statement, in March 2024, the Compensation and Succession Committee determined that the performance share units (“PSUs”) granted in 2021 with a three-year performance period of 2021 – 2023 (the “2021 PSUs”) were earned at 100% of target. Because Mr. Luthar was on administrative leave when that determination was made, the Compensation and Succession Committee did not approve any earned 2021 PSUs for him at that time. In connection with the Transition Agreement, the Compensation and Succession Committee approved that Mr. Luthar’s 2021 PSUs were also earned at 100% of target (which, as discussed above and in the Proxy Statement, is the same percentage of target applied to the 2021 PSUs for all of the other named executive officers who had been granted 2021 PSUs), which equaled 7,318 PSUs. Such PSUs were deemed earned and vested as of April 27, 2024.


		ADM Proxy Statement Supplement 2024 \| 1

The Transition Agreement provides that while employed during the Transition Period, Mr. Luthar will continue to be paid his annual base salary at the current rate of $775,008, and will be eligible to continue to participate in the Company’s benefit plans subject to their terms. Mr. Luthar has not been awarded any new ADM equity awards in 2024 and no new equity awards are contemplated by the Transition Agreement. Following his resignation date, consistent with the Company’s guidelines under the cash incentive plan and the terms of the equity award agreements applicable upon retirement (the age and service requirements of which Mr. Luthar has met), Mr. Luthar will be eligible to receive a prorated 2024 annual cash performance incentive payment (based solely on Company performance metrics and provided he remains an employee through July 1, 2024) and retirement treatment for purposes of his outstanding ADM equity awards. The foregoing compensation and benefits are subject to the terms of the Transition Agreement, a copy of which was filed as an exhibit to the Form

8-K

that ADM filed with the SEC on April 22, 2024.

Compensation Table Updates

Certain of the compensation actions related to Mr. Luthar as provided in the Transition Agreement impact his 2023 compensation as disclosed in the Proxy Statement. As a result, we are providing the following updated tables and related footnotes from the Proxy Statement, which update disclosures related to Mr. Luthar as follows:

•

reproducing the Summary Compensation Table, set forth on page 58 of the Proxy Statement, with changes for fiscal year 2023 information for Mr. Luthar in the columns titled

“Non-Equity

Incentive Plan Compensation” and “Total,” as well as the removal of a sentence in footnote (3), in each case to reflect the determination and payment of Mr. Luthar’s 2023 annual cash incentive since the filing date of the Proxy Statement;

•

reproducing the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year 2023

Year-End

table, set forth on page 62 of the Proxy Statement, with changes to Mr. Luthar’s amounts in the columns titled “Equity Incentive Plan Awards: Number of Unearned Shares, Units or Other Rights That Have Not Vested” and “Equity Incentive Plan Awards: Market or Payout Value of Unearned Shares, Units or Other Rights That Have Not Vested,” as well as information related to Mr. Luthar’s PSUs in footnote (4) to such table, in each case to reflect the number of Mr. Luthar’s 2021 PSUs that have been determined to have been earned since the filing date of the Proxy Statement;

•

reproducing the Option Exercises and Stock Vested During Fiscal Year 2023 table, set forth on page 63 of the Proxy Statement, with changes to Mr. Luthar’s amounts in the columns titled “Number of Shares Acquired on Vesting” and “Value Realized on Vesting” and the removal of a sentence in footnote (2), in each case to reflect the number of Mr. Luthar’s 2021 PSUs that have been determined to have been earned since the filing date of the Proxy Statement; and

•

reproducing the Pay Versus Performance section beginning on page 71 of the Proxy Statement, to update the information regarding the

Non-PEO

NEOs to reflect the updated total compensation of Mr. Luthar for 2023 as reported in the updated Summary Compensation Table included in this Supplement.

This updated information is provided below and replaces the information originally included in the Proxy Statement in its entirety.

Please note that we are not reproducing the table on page 69 in the “Termination of Employment and Change in Control Arrangements” section of the Proxy Statement, since the amounts shown in that table in the row titled “Vesting of nonvested PSU awards” under Mr. Luthar’s name, in the columns titled “Death” and “Change in Control

(Non-Assumption

of Awards or Involuntary Termination Without Cause or Termination for Good Reason)” were calculated using the target number of 2021 PSUs. Since it has been subsequently determined that Mr. Luthar’s 2021 PSUs were earned at the target level, no changes or updates to those amounts are necessary.

FASB ASC Topic 718 utilizing the assumptions discussed in Note 11 to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The grant date fair value of the 2023 RSUs and the grant date fair value of the 2023 PSUs if target performance and maximum performance is achieved are as follows:

V. F. Macciocchi		$	1,295,890		$	1,943,875		$	3,887,750

(3)	The amounts reported in this column represent amounts earned under our annual incentive plan during each of the respective fiscal periods shown. In each case, the amounts were paid after the close of the applicable fiscal period.

(4)

The amounts reported in this column for 2023 represent the aggregate change in actuarial present value of each named executive officer’s accumulated benefit under all defined benefit and actuarial pension plans from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023, using the same assumptions used for financial reporting purposes except that retirement age is assumed to be the normal retirement age (65) specified in the plans. No NEO received above market or preferential earnings on deferred compensation. To derive the change in pension value for financial reporting purposes, the assumptions used to value pension liabilities on December 31, 2023 were an interest rate of 4.96% for the ADM Retirement Plan, an interest rate of 4.84% for the ADM Supplemental Retirement Plan, and mortality was determined using the PRI-2012 mortality table, with a white collar adjustment, projected generationally using Scale MP-2021. The assumptions used to value pension liabilities on December 31, 2022 were an interest rate of 5.14% for the ADM Retirement Plan, an interest rate of 5.02% for the ADM Supplemental Retirement Plan, and mortality was determined using the PRI-2012 mortality table, with a white collar adjustment, projected generationally using Scale MP-2021.

(5)

The amounts reported in this column for 2023 include costs for use of company-leased aircraft and spousal travel, relocation stipend, value of company-provided life insurance, imputed value of company-provided life insurance, the value of health insurance company-paid premiums, costs for executive healthcare services, dividend equivalents paid on unvested RSUs, accrued dividends for unvested 2023 PSUs (dividends were credited starting with the 2023 PSUs), company contributions under the 401(k) and ESOP, and charitable gifts pursuant to the Company’s matching charitable gift program. In 2023, we began making personal financial planning services available to our executive officers, but because such services are provided by the provider of other services to the Company, and such provider does not charge any additional amounts for the individual financial planning services to our executive officers, there is no incremental cost to the Company for such services. Specific perquisites and other items applicable to each NEO listed are identified below by an “X”. Where a perquisite exceeded $10,000 for an individual, the dollar amount is given.

V. F. Macciocchi		—		—		X		21,510	X		175,149		—		16,500

Aggregate incremental cost to our Company of perquisites and personal benefits is determined as follows. In the case of payment of expenses related to items such as executive healthcare services, incremental cost is determined by the amounts paid to third-party providers. In the case of personal use of company-leased aircraft, incremental cost is based solely on variable costs under the agreements with the lessor of the aircraft, and does not include fixed or other costs.

Mr. Luthar was appointed Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer on April 7, 2022. As permitted by SEC rules, because 2022 was Mr. Luthar’s first year as an NEO, the compensation paid to him prior to 2022 is not included in this table. Mr. Luthar was no longer an executive officer of the Company as of April 19, 2024.

(7)	Ms. Jones joined the Company as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary on September 5, 2023.

(8)	Mr. Cuddy was not an NEO in 2021.

(4)

The awards reported in this column represent 2022 PSU, 2022 PRSU and 2023 PSU awards that each will vest at the end of the three-year performance period. The number of PSUs that the executive officer will receive is dependent upon the achievement of certain financial metrics approved by the Compensation and Succession Committee measuring: in the case of the 2022 PSUs and the 2023 PSUs, Adjusted ROIC, Adjusted EPS and a two-goal ESG modifier; and in the case of the PRSUs, metrics related to the Company’s Nutrition segment. The amount of PSUs and PRSUs shown is the target number of units that could be earned and paid out in shares.

This table does not include the 2021 PSU awards that were earned for the 2021-2023 performance period, because those earned PSUs were not subject to an additional service-based vesting period and instead vested upon the Compensation and Succession Committee’s determination of the number of PSUs earned. The earned 2021 PSUs are reported in the “Option Exercises and Stock Vested During Fiscal Year 2023” table.

The PSUs and PRSUs reported in this column have the following performance periods in the following amounts.

For each of 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, our PEO was Juan Luciano. For each of 2021 and 2020, the

Non-PEO

NEOs were Ray Young, Vincent Macciocchi, Gregory Morris, and Joseph Taets. For 2022, the

Non-PEO

NEOs included the same NEOs as in 2021 and 2020, as well as Vikram Luthar and Christopher Cuddy. For 2023, the

Non-PEO

NEOs were Vikram Luthar, Regina Jones, Gregory Morris, Christopher Cuddy and Vincent Macciocchi.

(2)

The dollar amounts reported represent the Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”) to Mr. Luciano and the

Non-PEO

NEOs in accordance with, and using the adjustments set forth in, Item 402(v) of Regulation

S-K.

The following adjustments related to pension plans and equity awards were made to their total compensation each year as reported in the SCT to determine the CAP:

Our peer group for the calculation of TSR is the S&P 100, which is the industry index used to show our performance in our CD&A. TSR, in the case of both the Company and our peer group, reflects the cumulative return on $100 as if invested on December 31, 2019, including reinvestment of any dividends, and is rounded to the nearest tenth.

(4)

Our company selected measure, which we believe represents the most important financial performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link CAP to the NEOs for 2023 to company performance, is Adjusted ROIC. Adjusted ROIC is one of the metrics under both the 2023 annual cash incentive program and the 2023 PSUs. Adjusted ROIC (return on invested capital, adjusted to exclude the impact of certain items) is a

non-GAAP

financial measure. Annex A to the Proxy Statement provides a more detailed definition of this term, a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, and related disclosures about the use of this

non-GAAP

financial measure.

In order to calculate CAP, the following amounts were excluded from or added to the SCT total compensation:
