INGREDION INCORPORATED (“Ingredion”)

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1.                                      Interim Financial Statements

 

References to the “Company” are to Ingredion Incorporated (“Ingredion”) and its consolidated subsidiaries.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein were prepared by management on the same basis as the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 and reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring items unless otherwise noted) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2013.  The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full years.

 

2.                                      New Accounting Standards

 

In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires new asset and liability offsetting disclosures for derivatives, repurchase agreements and security lending transactions to the extent that they are: (1) offset in the financial statements; or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement.  This Update requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2013.  The Company’s derivative instruments are not offset in the financial statements and are not subject to right of offset provisions with our counterparties.  Accordingly, this Update did not have a material impact on the Company’s 2013 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements but could have an impact on future disclosures.  Additional information about derivative instruments can be found in Note 5 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  This Update does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements; however, it requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component.  In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income for only amounts reclassified in their entirety in the same reporting period.  This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those annual periods.  The disclosures required by this Update are provided in Note 9 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

8



 

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.  This Update clarifies the guidance pertaining to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) to resolve diversity in practice.  The Update clarifies that when a company ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity, the company should release any related CTA into net income.  In such instances, the CTA should be released into net income only if a sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided.  The Update also requires the release of the CTA (or applicable pro rata portion thereof) upon the sale or partial sale of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity and for a step acquisition in which the acquirer held an equity method investment prior to obtaining control.  The guidance in this Update is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of the guidance contained in this Update will impact the accounting for the CTA upon the de-recognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity; and the effect will be dependent upon a relevant transaction at that time.

 

3.                                      Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

 

In the second quarter of 2012, the Company decided to restructure its business operations in Kenya and close its manufacturing plant in the country.  As part of that decision, the Company recorded a $10 million restructuring charge to its second quarter 2012 Statement of Income consisting of a $6 million fixed asset impairment charge, a $2 million charge to reduce certain working capital balances to fair value based on the announced closure, and $2 million of costs primarily consisting of severance pay related to the termination of the majority of its employees in Kenya.  The Company incurred $10 million of additional restructuring costs during the second half of 2012 related to the plant closure.  Most of these costs were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012 and included an $8 million charge to realize the cumulative translation adjustment associated with the Kenyan operations.

 

Additionally, as part of a manufacturing optimization program developed to improve profitability in conjunction with the acquisition of National Starch, in the second quarter of 2011 the Company committed to a plan to optimize its production capabilities at certain of its North American facilities.  As a result, the Company recorded restructuring charges to write-off certain equipment by the plan completion date.  The plan was completed in October 2012 and the equipment has been completely written off.  For the second quarter and first-half of 2012, the Company recorded charges of $4 million and $7 million, respectively, of which $3 million and $6 million represent accelerated depreciation on the equipment.

 

4.                                      Segment Information

 

The Company is principally engaged in the production and sale of starches and sweeteners for a wide range of industries, and is managed geographically on a regional basis.  The Company’s operations are classified into four reportable business segments: North America, South America, Asia Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”).  The North America segment includes businesses in the United States, Canada and Mexico.  The Company’s South America segment includes businesses in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and the Southern Cone of South America, which includes Argentina, Chile and Uruguay.  The

Asia Pacific segment includes businesses in Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, China, Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, India, Australia and New Zealand.  The Company’s EMEA segment includes businesses in the United Kingdom, Germany, South Africa, Pakistan and Kenya.

5.                                      Financial Instruments, Derivatives and Hedging Activities

 

The Company has manufacturing operations in North America, South America, Asia Pacific and EMEA.  The Company’s products are made primarily from corn.

 

The Company is exposed to market risk stemming from changes in commodity prices (corn and natural gas), foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.  In the normal course of business, the Company actively manages its exposure to these market risks by entering into various hedging transactions, authorized under established policies that place clear controls on these activities.  These transactions utilize exchange-traded derivatives or

 

10



 

over-the-counter derivatives with investment grade counterparties.  Derivative financial instruments currently used by the Company consist of commodity futures, options and swap contracts, foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and options, and interest rate swaps.

 

Commodity price hedging:  The Company’s principal use of derivative financial instruments is to manage commodity price risk in North America relating to anticipated purchases of corn and natural gas to be used in the manufacturing process, generally over the next twelve to eighteen months.  To manage price risk related to corn purchases in North America, the Company uses corn futures and options contracts that trade on regulated commodity exchanges to lock-in its corn costs associated with firm-priced customer sales contracts.  The Company uses over-the-counter gas swaps to hedge a portion of its natural gas usage in North America.  These derivative financial instruments limit the impact that fluctuations in market prices will have on corn and natural gas purchases and have been designated as cash flow hedges.  Unrealized gains and losses associated with marking the commodity hedging contracts to market are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and included in the equity section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as part of accumulated other comprehensive income/loss (“AOCI”).  These amounts are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the month in which the related corn or natural gas impacts earnings or in the month a hedge is determined to be ineffective.  The Company assesses the effectiveness of a commodity hedge contract based on changes in the contract’s fair value.  The changes in the market value of such contracts have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, highly effective at offsetting changes in the price of the hedged items.  The amounts representing the ineffectiveness of these cash flow hedges are not significant.

 

At June 30, 2013, AOCI included $42 million of losses, net of income taxes of $20 million, pertaining to commodities-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges.  At December 31, 2012, AOCI included $7 million of losses, net of income taxes of $4 million, pertaining to commodities-related derivative instruments designated as cash-flow hedges.

 

Interest rate hedging:  Derivative financial instruments that have been used by the Company to manage its interest rate risk consist of Treasury Lock agreements (“T-Locks”) and interest rate swaps.  The Company did not have any T-locks outstanding at June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012. The Company has interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the interest rate on its 3.2 percent $350 million senior notes due November 1, 2015 to a variable rate.  These swap agreements call for the Company to receive interest at a fixed rate (3.2 percent) and to pay interest at a variable rate based on the six-month US dollar LIBOR rate plus a spread.  The Company has designated these interest rate swap agreements as hedges of the changes in fair value of the underlying debt obligation attributable to changes in interest rates and accounts for them as fair value hedges.  Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments that effectively offset the variability in the fair value of outstanding debt obligations are reported in earnings.  These amounts offset the gain or loss associated with the change in fair value of the hedged debt instrument that is attributable to changes in interest rates (that is, the hedged risk), which is also recognized in earnings.  The fair value of these interest rate swap agreements at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $15 million and $20 million, respectively, and is reflected in the Condensed

 

11



 

Consolidated Balance Sheets within other non-current assets, with an offsetting amount recorded in long-term debt to adjust the carrying amount of the hedged debt obligation.

 

At June 30, 2013, AOCI included $9 million of losses (net of income taxes of $6 million) related to settled T-Locks.  At December 31, 2012, AOCI included $10 million of losses (net of income taxes of $6 million) related to settled T-Locks.  These deferred losses are being amortized to financing costs over the terms of the senior notes with which they are associated.

 

Foreign currency hedging:  Due to the Company’s global operations, it is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.  As a result, the Company has exposure to translational foreign exchange risk when its foreign operation results are translated to US dollars and to transactional foreign exchange risk when transactions not denominated in the functional currency of the operating unit are revalued.  The Company primarily uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and options to manage its transactional foreign exchange risk.  These derivative financial instruments are primarily accounted for as fair value hedges.  At June 30, 2013, the Company had foreign currency forward sales contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $440 million and foreign currency forward purchase contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $87 million that hedged transactional exposures.  At December 31, 2012, the Company had foreign currency forward sales contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $268 million and foreign currency forward purchase contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $167 million that hedged transactional exposures.  The fair value of these derivative instruments are assets of $2 million at June 30, 2013 and liabilities of $5 million at December 31, 2012, respectively.

At June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding futures and option contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 51 million bushels of corn and 24 million pounds of soy bean oil.  The Company is unable to directly hedge price risk related to co-product sales; however, it enters into hedges of soybean oil (a competing product to corn oil) in order to mitigate the price risk of corn oil sales.  Also at June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding swap and option contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 13 million mmbtu’s of natural gas.

At June 30, 2013, AOCI included approximately $39 million of losses, net of income taxes of $19 million, on commodities-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges that are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months.  The Company expects the losses to be offset by changes in the underlying commodities cost.  Additionally at June 30, 2013, AOCI included approximately $2 million of losses on settled T-Locks, net of income taxes of $1 million, which are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months.

the financial instrument.  Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.   Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.  Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

The carrying values of cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate fair values.  Commodity futures, options and swap contracts, which are designated as hedges of specific volumes of commodities, are recognized at fair value.  Foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and options hedge transactional foreign exchange risk related to assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and are recognized at fair value.  The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated based on quotations of major securities dealers who are market makers in the securities.  At June 30, 2013, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $1.72 billion and $1.83 billion, respectively.

Stock Options:

 

Under the Company’s stock incentive plan, stock options are granted at exercise prices that equal the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.  The options have a 10-year term and are exercisable upon vesting, which occurs evenly over a three-year period at the anniversary dates of the date of grant.  Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis for all awards.

The Company granted non-qualified options to purchase 416 thousand shares and 460 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The fair value of each option grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

The expected life of options represents the weighted-average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and the Company’s historical exercise patterns.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the US Treasury yield curve in effect at the grant date for the period corresponding with the expected life of the options.  Expected volatility is based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock.  Dividend yields are based on historical dividend payments.

Restricted Shares of Common Stock and Restricted Stock Units:

 

The Company has granted shares of restricted common stock (“restricted shares”) and restricted stock units (“restricted units”) to certain key employees.  The restricted shares and restricted units are subject to cliff vesting, generally after three to five years provided the employee remains in the service of the Company.  The grant date fair value of the restricted shares and restricted units is determined based upon the number of shares granted and the ending market price of the Company’s stock at the grant date.  Expense recognized for restricted shares and restricted units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 aggregated $2 million and $4 million, respectively, as compared to $2 million and $3 million, in the comparable prior year periods.

10.                               Income Taxes

 

The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 was 21.9 percent compared to 18.4 percent a year ago.  The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2013 was 26.0 percent compared to 25.6 percent a year ago.

 

The second quarter of 2013 includes a favorable determination received from a Canadian court regarding the tax treatment of a prior period transaction, resulting in a discrete tax benefit of $5 million.  The second quarter also includes the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $3 million.

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 was favorably impacted by the recognition of the effects of a reversal of a $13 million valuation allowance that had been recorded against net deferred tax assets of the Company’s Korean subsidiary.  The effective income tax rates for the 2012 periods also included the recognition of an income tax benefit of $6 million related to the $10 million pre-tax charge in Kenya and associated tax write-off of the investment.  Without these items, the Company’s effective income tax rates for the second quarter and first half of 2012 would have been approximately 30 percent and 31 percent, respectively.

 

It is reasonably likely that approximately $3 million of previously unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized in the third quarter of 2013 as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview

 

We are a major supplier of high-quality food and industrial ingredients to customers around the world.  We have 36 manufacturing plants located throughout North America, South America, Asia Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), and we manage and operate our businesses at a regional level.  We believe this approach provides us with a unique understanding of the cultures and product requirements in each of the geographic markets in which we operate, bringing added value to our customers.  Our ingredients are used by customers in the food, beverage, animal feed, paper and corrugating, and brewing industries, among others.

 

Operating income, net income and diluted earnings per common share for the second quarter of 2013 decreased 8 percent, 13 percent and 14 percent, respectively, from the results of a year ago, driven principally by significantly reduced operating income in South America where economic conditions have deteriorated. We believe that our South American business will continue to be unfavorably impacted by difficult economic conditions and we anticipate that our full year 2013 diluted earnings per share will decline from 2012.

 

We currently expect that our available cash balances, future cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity under our credit facilities will provide us with sufficient liquidity to fund our anticipated capital expenditures, dividends, and other investing and/or financing activities for the foreseeable future.

 

Results of Operations

 

We have significant operations in North America, South America, Asia Pacific and EMEA.  For most of our foreign subsidiaries, the local foreign currency is the functional currency.  Accordingly, revenues and expenses denominated in the functional currencies of these subsidiaries are translated into US dollars at the applicable average exchange rates for the period.  Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affect the US dollar amounts of our foreign subsidiaries’ revenues and expenses.  The impact of currency exchange rate changes, where significant, is provided below.

 

For The Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

With Comparatives for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

 

Net Income attributable to Ingredion.  Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 decreased to $95.1 million, or $1.20 per diluted common share, from $109.1 million, or $1.40 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2012.  Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased to $205.8 million, or $2.61 per diluted common share, from $203.3 million, or $2.61 per diluted common share, in the prior year period.  The second quarter and first half results for 2012 included the reversal of a $13 million valuation allowance that had been recorded against net deferred tax assets of our Korean subsidiary ($0.16 per diluted common share) and after-tax charges for impaired assets and employee termination costs in Kenya of $4 million ($0.05 per diluted common share).  The second quarter and first half 2012 results also included after-tax restructuring charges of approximately $2 million ($0.03 per

 

20



 

diluted common share) and $5 million ($0.06 per diluted common share), respectively, relating to our manufacturing optimization plan in North America.   Additionally, the second quarter and first half 2012 results included after-tax costs of $1 million ($0.01 per diluted common share) and $2 million ($0.03 per diluted common share), respectively, associated with our integration of National Starch.

 

Without the 2012 reversal of the Korean deferred tax asset valuation allowance, the impairment/restructuring charges and the integration costs, net income and diluted earnings per common share for second quarter 2013 would have declined 8 percent and 10 percent, respectively, from a year ago, while net income and diluted earnings per common share for the first half of 2013 would have increased 2 percent and 1 percent, respectively.  The declines for the second quarter of 2013 primarily reflect lower operating income driven principally by significantly reduced operating income in South America, which more than offset earnings growth in North America.  A lower effective income tax rate and reduced financing costs partially offset the impacts of our operating income declines.  The increases in net income and diluted earnings per common share for the first half of 2013 reflect a lower effective income tax rate and, to a lesser extent, reduced financing costs.

 

Net Sales.  Second quarter 2013 net sales totaled $1.63 billion, relatively unchanged from second quarter 2012 net sales of $1.64 billion.  Improved price/product mix of 5 percent was offset by a 3 percent volume decline and unfavorable currency translation of 2 percent due to weaker foreign currencies.

 

North American net sales for second quarter 2013 increased 3 percent to $977 million, from $950 million a year ago.  This increase reflects improved price/product mix of 6 percent, which more than offset a 3 percent volume decline.  In South America, second quarter 2013 net sales decreased 8 percent to $321 million from $349 million a year ago, as unfavorable currency translation of 7 percent coupled with a 6 percent volume reduction, more than offset a price/product mix improvement of 5 percent.  The volume reduction primarily reflects weaker economic conditions, particularly in the Southern Cone of South America and in Brazil, and reduced sales to the brewing industry where excess industry capacity has weakened demand for high maltose in Brazil.  Additionally, while price/product mix has improved, it was insufficient to allow us to fully recover increased corn, energy and labor costs through higher selling prices.  Asia Pacific second quarter 2013 net sales declined 4 percent to $200 million from $208 million a year ago.  The decrease reflects a 3 percent volume reduction and lower price/product mix of 2 percent, which more than offset a 1 percent benefit from favorable currency translation primarily attributable to stronger Asian currencies.  The volume reduction reflects the effect of the fourth quarter 2012 sale of our investment in our Chinese non-wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary, Shouguang Golden Far East Modified Starch Co., Ltd. (“GFEMS”).  Without second quarter 2012 net sales of $8 million from GFEMS, Asia Pacific net sales for second quarter 2013 would have been flat and volume would have increased approximately 1 percent from the year-ago period.  EMEA net sales for second quarter 2013 grew 6 percent to $136 million from $128 million a year ago.  This increase reflects a 7 percent price/product mix improvement and 3 percent volume growth, which more than offset unfavorable currency translation of 4 percent.  Without a $2 million sales reduction attributable to the closure of our plant in Kenya, EMEA net sales for second quarter 2013 would have increased approximately 8 percent and volume would have grown approximately 5 percent from the prior year period.

 

First half 2013 net sales totaled $3.22 billion, relatively unchanged from $3.21 billion a year ago.  Price/product mix improvement of 5 percent was offset by a 3 percent volume decline and unfavorable currency translation of 2 percent due to weaker foreign currencies.

 

Net sales in North America for the first half of 2013 increased 2 percent to $1.89 billion from $1.84 billion in the prior year period.  This increase reflects improved price/product mix of 5 percent, which more than offset a 3 percent volume decline.  In South America, first half 2013

 

21



 

net sales decreased 7 percent to $670 million from $717 million a year ago, as an 8 percent decline attributable to weaker foreign currencies and a 5 percent volume reduction more than offset a 6 percent price/product mix improvement.  The volume reduction primarily reflects weaker economic conditions, particularly in the Southern Cone of South America and in Brazil, and reduced sales to the brewing industry where excess industry capacity has weakened demand for high maltose in Brazil.  Additionally, while price/product mix has improved, it was insufficient to allow us to fully recover increased corn, energy and labor costs through higher selling prices, particularly during the second quarter.  Asia Pacific first half 2013 net sales declined slightly to $396 million from $397 million a year ago, as a volume decline of 2 percent more than offset favorable currency translation of 1 percent and modest price/product mix improvement.  The volume reduction reflects the effect of the fourth quarter 2012 sale of our investment in GFEMS.  Without first half 2012 net sales of $13 million from GFEMS, Asia Pacific net sales for first half 2013 would have increased 3 percent and volume would have increased approximately 1 percent from a year ago.  EMEA net sales for first half 2013 increased 5 percent to $265 million from $254 million a year ago.  This increase reflects price/product mix improvement of 6 percent and 2 percent volume growth, which more than offset unfavorable currency translation of 3 percent.  Without a $7 million sales reduction attributable to the closure of our plant in Kenya, EMEA net sales for first half 2013 would have increased approximately 8 percent and volume would have grown approximately 6 percent from the prior year period.

 

Cost of Sales and Operating Expenses. Cost of sales of $1.36 billion for the second quarter of 2013 increased 1 percent from $1.34 billion in the prior year period.  Cost of sales of $2.64 billion for the first half of 2013 increased 1 percent from $2.62 billion a year ago.  Higher raw material costs were substantially offset by reduced volume, the effects of currency translation and the impacts of continued cost savings focus.  Currency translation caused cost of sales for both the second quarter and first half of 2013 to decrease approximately 2 percent from the prior year periods, reflecting the impact of weaker foreign currencies, particularly in South America.  Gross corn costs per ton for the second quarter and first half of 2013 increased approximately 8 percent and 7 percent, respectively, from the comparable prior year periods, driven by higher market prices for corn.  Our gross profit margin for the second quarter and first half of 2013 was 16.9 percent and 18.1 percent, respectively, compared to 18.1 percent and 18.4 percent last year.

 

Operating expenses for the second quarter and first half of 2013 increased to $139 million and $274 million, respectively, from $132 million and $268 million last year.  These increases primarily reflect higher compensation-related costs, partially offset by the impact of weaker foreign currencies and the favorable impacts of our continued cost savings initiatives.  Currency translation associated with the weaker foreign currencies caused operating expenses for the second quarter and first half of 2013 to decrease approximately 2 percent from the prior year periods.  Operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were 8.5 percent for both the second quarter and first half of 2013, as compared to 8.0 percent and 8.3 percent, respectively, in the comparable prior year periods.

 

Operating Income.  Second quarter 2013 operating income decreased 8 percent to $140 million from $153 million a year ago.  The prior year period included a $10 million charge for impaired assets and restructuring costs in Kenya, $4 million of restructuring charges to reduce the carrying value of certain equipment in connection with our manufacturing optimization plan in North America and $1 million of costs pertaining to the integration of National Starch.  Without the impairment, restructuring and integration costs, operating income for second quarter 2013 would have decreased 17 percent from $168 million a year ago.  This decline primarily reflects significantly reduced operating income in South America, which more

 

22



 

than offset operating income growth in North America.  Unfavorable currency translation due to weaker foreign currencies, particularly in South America, reduced operating income by approximately $2 million from the prior year period.  North America operating income for second quarter 2013 increased 7 percent to $103.9 million from $96.9 million a year ago.  The increase was driven by improved product selling prices and cost savings.  South America operating income for second quarter 2013 decreased 63 percent to $17.3 million from $47.3 million a year ago.  The decrease reflects significantly weaker results in the Southern Cone of South America and in Brazil.  Our inability to increase selling prices to a level sufficient to recover higher local product costs, particularly in Argentina, and lower sales volumes due to soft demand from a weaker economy, drove the earnings decline.  Additionally, a $4 million charge related to a fungus that impacted our stevia plants in Brazil contributed to the lower operating income.  Translation effects associated with weaker South American currencies (particularly the Argentine Peso and Brazilian Real) caused operating income to decrease by approximately $2 million.  We anticipate that our business in South America will continue to be challenged with high product costs, local currency devaluation, product pricing limitations and volume pressures for the remainder of the year.  Asia Pacific operating income for second quarter 2013 increased 3 percent to $23.6 million from $22.9 million a year ago, primarily driven by improved volume and slightly favorable currency translation associated with stronger Asian currencies.  EMEA operating income decreased 10 percent to $16.9 million from $18.8 million a year ago primarily reflecting higher local product and energy costs.  Unfavorable currency translation associated with weaker foreign currencies also contributed to the lower operating results.

 

First half 2013 operating income was $315 million, up slightly from $314 million a year ago.  The prior year period included a $10 million charge for impaired assets and restructuring costs in Kenya, $7 million of restructuring charges to reduce the carrying value of certain equipment in connection with our manufacturing optimization plan in North America and $4 million of costs pertaining to the integration of National Starch.  Without the impairment, restructuring and integration costs, operating income for first half 2013 would have decreased 6 percent from $335 million a year ago, primarily reflecting reduced operating income in South America, which more than offset earnings growth in North America.  Unfavorable currency translation associated with weaker foreign currencies caused operating income to decline by approximately $8 million from the prior year period.  North America operating income for first half 2013 increased 7 percent to $211.6 million from $196.9 million a year ago.  This increase primarily reflects improved product selling prices and cost savings.  South America operating income for first half 2013 declined 35 percent to $60.6 million from $92.9 million a year ago.  The decrease reflects significantly weaker results in the Southern Cone of South America and in Brazil, particularly during the second quarter of 2013.  Our inability to increase selling prices to a level sufficient to recover higher local product costs, primarily in Argentina, and lower sales volumes due to soft demand from a weaker economy, drove the earnings decline.  Additionally, a $4 million charge related to a fungus that impacted our stevia plants in Brazil contributed to the lower operating income.  Translation effects associated with weaker South American currencies (particularly the Argentine Peso and Brazilian Real) caused operating income to decrease by approximately $7 million.  We anticipate that our business in South America will continue to be challenged with high product costs, local currency devaluation, product pricing limitations and volume pressures for the remainder of the year.  Asia Pacific operating income for first half 2013 grew 8 percent to $46.7 million from $43.2 million a year ago, driven by improved volume and higher product selling prices.  Slightly favorable currency translation associated with stronger Asian currencies also contributed to the improved operating results.  EMEA operating income decreased 4 percent to $36.2 million from $37.6 million a year ago.  Improved product price/mix and volume growth largely offset the unfavorable impacts of higher local product and energy costs.  Additionally, translation effects associated with weaker foreign currencies caused EMEA operating income to decrease by approximately $1 million.

Financing Costs-net.   Financing costs for the second quarter and first half of 2013 declined to $16.3 million and $33.0 million, respectively, from $17.2 million and $36.7 million in the comparable prior year periods.  These declines primarily reflect reduced interest expense driven by lower average borrowings and interest rates.

 

Provision for Income Taxes.  Our effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 was 21.9 percent compared to 18.4 percent a year ago.  The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2013 was 26.0 percent compared to 25.6 percent a year ago.

 

The second quarter of 2013 includes a favorable determination received from a Canadian court regarding the tax treatment of a prior period transaction, resulting in a discrete tax benefit of $5 million.  The second quarter also includes the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $3 million.

 

Our effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 was favorably impacted by the recognition of the effects of a reversal of a $13 million valuation allowance that had been recorded against net deferred tax assets of our Korean subsidiary.  The effective income tax rates for the 2012 periods also included the recognition of an income tax benefit of $6 million related to the $10 million pre-tax charge in Kenya and associated tax write-off of the investment.  Without these items, our effective income tax rates for the second quarter and first half of 2012 would have been approximately 30 percent and 31 percent, respectively.

 

It is reasonably likely that approximately $3 million of previously unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized in the third quarter of 2013 as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations.

 

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests. The net income attributable to non-controlling interests for second quarter and first half 2013 was $1.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively, consistent with the prior year periods.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss) Attributable to Ingredion. We recorded a comprehensive loss of $3 million for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to comprehensive income of $75 million in the prior year period.  The decrease primarily reflects a $57 million unfavorable variance in cash flow hedge activity.  For the first half of 2013, we recorded comprehensive income of $66 million, as compared with $181 million a year ago.  The decrease primarily reflects unfavorable variances related to currency translation and deferred losses on cash flow hedges of $69 million and $53 million, respectively.  The unfavorable variances in the currency translation adjustment reflect a greater weakening in end of period foreign currencies relative to the US dollar in 2013, as compared to the year-ago periods.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2013 was $112 million.  Our working capital increase for first half 2013 was driven principally by an increase in inventories reflecting higher raw material costs and increased period-end quantities, an increase in accounts receivable due to higher sales late in

 

24



 

the second quarter of 2013 as compared to 2012 and the timing of collections, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities attributable to the timing of payments.

 

Capital expenditures of $132 million for the first six months of 2013 are in line with our capital spending plan for the year.  We anticipate that our capital expenditures will be in the range of approximately $300 million to $350 million for full year 2013.

 

We have a senior, unsecured $1 billion revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) that matures on October 22, 2017.  At June 30, 2013, there were no borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Agreement.  In addition to borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit Agreement, we also have approximately $483 million of unused operating lines of credit in the various foreign countries in which we operate.

 

At June 30, 2013, we had total debt outstanding of $1.81 billion, compared to $1.80 billion at December 31, 2012.  The debt includes $350 million of 3.2 percent notes due 2015, $300 million (principal amount) of 1.8 percent senior notes due 2017, $200 million of 6.0 percent senior notes due 2017, $200 million of 5.62 percent senior notes due 2020, $400 million (principal amount) of 4.625 percent notes due 2020, $250 million (principal amount) of 6.625 percent senior notes due 2037 and $91 million of consolidated subsidiary debt consisting of local country short-term borrowings.  The weighted average interest rate on our total indebtedness was approximately 4.3 percent for the first six months of 2013, down from 4.4 percent in the comparable prior-year period.

 

On May 15, 2013, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.38 per share of common stock.  This dividend was paid on July 25, 2013 to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 1, 2013.

 

We currently expect that our available cash balances, future cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity under our credit facilities will provide us with sufficient liquidity to fund our anticipated capital expenditures, dividends, and other investing and/or financing activities for the foreseeable future.

 

We have not provided federal and state income taxes on accumulated undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries because these earnings are determined to be permanently reinvested.  It is not practicable to determine the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the undistributed earnings.  We do not anticipate the need to repatriate funds to the United States to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business, including liquidity needs associated with our domestic debt service requirements.  Approximately $309 million of our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2013 is held by our operations outside of the United States.  We expect that available cash balances and credit facilities in the United States, along with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our operating and cash needs for the foreseeable future.

 

Hedging

 

We are exposed to market risk stemming from changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.  In the normal course of business, we actively manage our exposure to these market risks by entering into various hedging transactions, authorized under established policies that place clear controls on these activities.  These transactions utilize exchange-traded derivatives or over-the-counter derivatives with investment grade counterparties.  Our hedging transactions may include, but are not limited to, a variety of

 

25



 

derivative financial instruments such as commodity futures, options and swap contracts, forward currency contracts and options, interest rate swap agreements and treasury lock agreements.  See Note 5 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

 

Commodity Price Risk:

 

Our principal use of derivative financial instruments is to manage commodity price risk in North America relating to anticipated purchases of corn and natural gas to be used in the manufacturing process.  We periodically enter into futures, options and swap contracts for a portion of our anticipated corn and natural gas usage, generally over the following twelve to eighteen months, in order to hedge price risk associated with fluctuations in market prices.  These derivative instruments are recognized at fair value and have effectively reduced our exposure to changes in market prices for these commodities.  We are unable to directly hedge price risk related to co-product sales; however, we enter into hedges of soybean oil (a competing product to our corn oil) in order to mitigate the price risk of corn oil sales.  Unrealized gains and losses associated with marking our commodities-based derivative instruments to market are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”).  At June 30, 2013, our accumulated other comprehensive loss account (“AOCI”) included $42 million of losses, net of income taxes of $20 million, related to these derivative instruments.  It is anticipated that approximately $39 million of these losses, net of income taxes of $19 million, will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months.  We expect the losses to be offset by changes in the underlying commodities cost.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk:

 

Due to our global operations, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.  As a result, we have exposure to translational foreign exchange risk when our foreign operation results are translated to US dollars and to transactional foreign exchange risk when transactions not denominated in the functional currency of the operating unit are revalued.  We primarily use foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and options to selectively hedge our foreign currency transactional exposures.  We generally hedge these exposures up to twelve months forward.  At June 30, 2013, we had foreign currency forward sales contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $440 million and foreign currency forward purchase contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $87 million that hedged transactional exposures.  The fair value of these derivative instruments is an asset of $2 million at June 30, 2013.

 

Interest Rate Risk:

 

We occasionally use interest rate swaps and Treasury Lock agreements (“T-Locks”) to hedge our exposure to interest rate changes, to reduce the volatility of our financing costs, or to achieve a desired proportion of fixed versus floating rate debt, based on current and projected market conditions.  At June 30, 2013, we did not have any T-Locks outstanding.  We have interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the interest rate on our 3.2 percent $350 million senior notes due November 1, 2015 to a variable rate.  These swap agreements call for us to receive interest at a fixed rate (3.2 percent) and to pay interest at a variable rate based on the six-month US dollar LIBOR rate plus a spread.  We have designated these interest rate swap agreements as hedges of the changes in fair value of the underlying debt obligation attributable to changes in interest rates and account for them as fair value hedges.  The fair value of these interest rate swap agreements is $15 million at June 30, 2013 and is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within other non-current assets,

 

26



 

with an offsetting amount recorded in long-term debt to adjust the carrying amount of the hedged debt obligation.

 

At June 30, 2013, AOCI included $9 million of losses (net of income taxes of $6 million) related to settled T-Locks.  These deferred losses are being amortized to financing costs over the terms of the senior notes with which they are associated.  It is anticipated that $2 million of these losses (net of income taxes of $1 million) will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months.

and availability, freight and shipping costs, and changes in regulatory controls regarding quotas, tariffs, duties, taxes and income tax rates; operating difficulties; availability of raw materials, including tapioca and the specific varieties of corn upon which our products are based; energy issues in Pakistan; boiler reliability; our ability to effectively integrate and operate acquired businesses; our ability to achieve budgets and to realize expected synergies; our ability to complete planned maintenance and investment projects successfully and on budget; labor disputes; genetic and biotechnology issues; changing consumption preferences including those relating to high fructose corn syrup; increased competitive and/or customer pressure in the starch processing industry; and the outbreak or continuation of serious communicable disease or hostilities including acts of terrorism.  Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statement as a result of new information or future events or developments.  If we do update or correct one or more of these statements, investors and others should not conclude that we will make additional updates or corrections.  For a further description of these and other risks, see “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K.

CONFIDENTIAL SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

 

This Confidential Separation Agreement and General Release (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Kimberly Hunter (“Employee”) and Ingredion, Incorporated. (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “INGR”) for good, valuable and received mutual consideration.

 

1.                                      Employee hereby voluntarily resigns from her position of Treasurer, and resigns from any and all other positions that she currently or subsequently holds with INGR or any affiliate or subsidiary of INGR, effective at the close of business on June 15, 2013 (the “Separation Date”).  Employee agrees that she will execute all documents necessary to effect such resignation.  Employee shall continue in INGR’s employ, performing her duties with diligence and professionalism, through the Separation Date, at which time her employment by INGR will cease.

 

2.                                      Provided that Employee signs and returns this Agreement to INGR within 21 days after receiving it, does not revoke this Agreement pursuant to its terms, and complies with its terms, she will receive the sums and benefits set forth below.  Employee acknowledges that Employee would not be entitled to or receive these sums and benefits but for Employee’s undertakings in this Agreement.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement including salary and benefits paid through the Separation Date, Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee has been paid and/or has received all salary, compensation, leave (paid or unpaid), severance pay, bonuses, reimbursements, benefits, and other monies to which Employee may have been entitled and that, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no other compensation, salary, leave (paid or unpaid), severance pay, bonuses, reimbursements, benefits, and/or other monies are due Employee:

 

(a)                                 INGR will pay Employee a special separation payment in a gross amount less customary withholding and deductions, which is equal to two years’ base compensation, 100% of target 2013 and 2014 Annual Incentive Plan amounts (“bonus”), $265,000 in lieu of any and all INGR unvested benefits, including stock options, restricted stock units and INGR Performance Shares Plan benefits for 2011 and 2012, plus all accrued but unused 2013 vacation through the Separation Date (the “Separation Payment”).  Except as otherwise required pursuant to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) and subject to Section 18 of this Agreement, the Separation Payment shall be paid in a lump sum via INGR’s standard payroll system within 14 days after the Separation Date, provided that Employee has not revoked the Agreement.  Any remaining amount shall be paid on the date specified in Section 18 of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 INGR will give Employee the opportunity to purchase the automobile that she currently leases at wholesale terms as determined by INGR.

 

(c)                                  Employee (and her dependents, as applicable) shall be provided with coverage under the Ingredion, Inc. Medical and Dental Plans (or successor plans, including without limitation any plans maintained by any successor to INGR in the event that INGR is

 



 

acquired) (the “Medical and Dental Plans”) at active employee rates to be paid by Employee (with the remaining portion of the cost of such coverage to be paid by INGR) for the period beginning on June 15, 2013 and ending on June 14, 2015, unless Employee secures subsequent employment that offers medical coverage, in which case coverage will cease.   Such continued participation shall be deemed to satisfy any obligations of INGR, its successor and/or the Medical and Dental Plans under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, as amended (“COBRA”)).

 

(d)                                 INGR will provide Employee with one year of executive level outplacement a firm of your choice with a value of up to $15,000.

 

(e)                                  Employee shall be entitled to all payments and benefits provided for by this Section 2 whether or not she seeks or obtains other employment, except as otherwise specifically provided for in paragraph 2(c) above.

 

3.                                      Employee acknowledges that the Separation Payment includes payment for any and all accrued but unused vacation through the Separation, and that Employee is not entitled to and will not receive any other vacation pay from INGR.

 

4.                                      Except as set forth in this Agreement or as otherwise required by applicable law, Employee’s participation in and rights under any INGR employee benefit plans and programs will be governed by the terms and conditions of those plans and programs, which plans, programs, terms and conditions may be amended, modified or terminated by INGR for any or no reason at any time.

 

5.                                      The term “Released Parties” includes (a) INGR and its past, present or future parents, divisions, subsidiaries, partnerships, affiliates, joint ventures, and other related entities, and (b) each of the foregoing entities’ and persons’ past, present, and future owners, fiduciaries, shareholders, directors, officers, partners, agents, employees, and attorneys, and (c) the predecessors, successors, and assigns of each of the foregoing entities and persons.

 

6.                                      Employee, and anyone claiming through Employee or on her behalf, hereby releases and forever discharges the Released Parties with respect to any and all claims, whether known or unknown, that Employee now has or has ever had against any of the Released Parties arising from or related to any act, omission, or thing occurring or existing at any time on or prior to the date on which Employee signs this Agreement.  The claims released and discharged hereunder include, but are not limited to:

 

(a)                                 all claims arising from or related in any way to Employee’s employment, hiring, conditions of employment, retirement, or termination from employment;

 

(b)                                 all claims that could have been asserted by or on behalf of Employee in any federal, state, or local court, commission, or agency, or under any common law theory, or under any employment, contract, tort, federal, state, or local law, regulation, ordinance, constitutional provision, or order; and

 

2

7.                                      Employee confirms that Employee has not filed any legal proceeding(s) against any of the Released Parties, is the sole owner of the claims released herein, has not transferred any such claims to anyone else, and has the full right to grant the releases and agreements in this Agreement.  In the event of any further proceedings based upon any released matter, none of the Released Parties shall have any further monetary or other obligation of any kind to Employee, including but not limited to any obligation for any costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by or on behalf of Employee.

 

8.                                      Employee has no present or future right to employment with INGR after the Separation Date, and she shall not apply for, or seek consideration for any future employment (active or otherwise), engagement, or contract with INGR or any of the other Released Parties.  INGR shall not oppose Employee’s claim for unemployment compensation provided that Employee’s representations regarding such claim are accurate.

 

9.                                      Employee shall not disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement to any third parties with the exception of Employee’s accountants, attorneys, and spouse, each of whom shall be bound by this confidentiality provision, or as may be required to comply with legal process.

 

10.                               Employee shall not take any action, verbal or otherwise, alone or in conjunction with others, that would or could disparage or damage the reputation or operations of INGR or any of the other Released Parties. Employee will direct all reference inquiries to INGR’s CEO who shall provide a portrayal of the scope of Employee’s job responsibilities and advancement within the company.  INGR’s CEO and CFO shall take no action, verbal or otherwise, that disparages Employee. Employee shall provide reasonable cooperation to INGR during and after her employment regarding transition of her duties.

 

11.                               “Confidential Information” includes the following information of INGR and/or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries (including but not limited to joint ventures and joint marketing companies) and/or cooperative management partners (any or all of whom are referred to for the purposes of this Section as “the Company”):

12.                               Employee acknowledges that, by reason of her position with INGR, she has become familiar with Confidential Information.  Employee agrees not to use for any purpose or disclose to anyone such Confidential Information.   Employee further recognizes that INGR is engaged in a highly competitive business, and that INGR has a legitimate business interest in preserving any and all of its trade secrets and other highly confidential and/or proprietary information that Employee has acquired or may have acquired while employed by INGR, and that INGR will suffer irreparable harm should such confidential information be utilized by a competitor or other person or firm.  Employee further acknowledges that all such confidential and/or proprietary information and trade secrets acquired through Employee’s employment are

 

4



 

owned and shall continue to be owned by INGR.  Confidential and/or proprietary information does not include information that is or becomes generally known to the public through no action on Employee’s part.  Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this paragraph are reasonable and necessary in order to protect INGR’s legitimate business interests, and that any violation thereof could result in irreparable injuries to INGR.  Employee therefore acknowledges that, in the event of any violation of any of these restrictions, INGR will be entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as damages and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from such violation, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which INGR may be entitled.

 

13.                               Employee shall not, for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Separation Date, directly or indirectly:

 

(a)                                 recruit, solicit, attempt to persuade, or assist in the recruitment or solicitation of any individual who was an applicant, employee, officer, agent, or contractor of INGR at any time between January 1, 2010, and the Separation Date, for the purpose of employing him or her or obtaining his or her services or otherwise causing him or her to leave his or her employment or other relationship with INGR; or

 

(b)                                 solicit or divert to any competing business of INGR any individual, firm, corporation, partnership, or other entity that was a customer or prospective customer of INGR at any time between January 1, 2010, and the Separation Date.

 

Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this paragraph, in view of the nature of the work performed by INGR, are reasonable and necessary in order to protect INGR’s legitimate business interests, and that any violation thereof will result in irreparable injuries to INGR.  Employee therefore acknowledges that, in the event of any violation of any of these restrictions, INGR will be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as damages and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from such violation, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which INGR may be entitled.

 

14.                               On or before the Separation Date, Employee shall return to INGR all property, including but not limited to any and all I.D. cards, memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computers, computer programs, cell phones, company-sponsored credit cards, files, charts, or other documents or things, and all copies thereof, in his custody or control containing in whole or in part any Confidential Information or other information of INGR or its subsidiaries or that relate to the affairs of INGR or its subsidiaries.  INGR shall provide Employee with a receipt for all INGR property actually returned by her.

 

15.                               Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall be construed as an admission by INGR or any of the other Released Parties that any of them violated any law, interfered with any right, breached any obligation or otherwise engaged in any improper or illegal conduct with respect to Employee or otherwise.  INGR and the Released Parties expressly deny any such illegal or wrongful conduct.

 

5



 

16.                               EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES, UNDERSTANDS, AND AGREES THAT EMPLOYEE:   (a) HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE TERMS AND EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT; (b) RELEASES AND WAIVES CLAIMS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, IN EXCHANGE FOR CONSIDERATION IN ADDITION TO ANYTHING OF VALUE TO WHICH EMPLOYEE ALREADY IS ENTITLED; (c) HEREBY IS AND HAS BEEN ADVISED OF EMPLOYEE’S RIGHT TO HAVE EMPLOYEE’S ATTORNEY REVIEW THIS AGREEMENT BEFORE SIGNING IT; (d) HAS TWENTY-ONE (21) DAYS IN WHICH TO CONSIDER WHETHER TO EXECUTE THIS AGREEMENT; AND (e) MAY, AT EMPLOYEE’S SOLE OPTION, REVOKE THIS AGREEMENT UPON WRITTEN NOTICE WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS FROM THE DATE ON WHICH EMPLOYEE SIGNS THIS AGREEMENT.  TO BE EFFECTIVE, THIS WRITTEN NOTICE MUST BE DELIVERED WITHIN THIS SEVEN-DAY PERIOD TO INGR, PERSONALLY, TO MARY ANN HYNES.

 

THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BECOME EFFECTIVE UNTIL THIS SEVEN-DAY REVOCATION PERIOD HAS EXPIRED WITHOUT ANY REVOCATION.  IF REVOKED WITHIN SUCH PERIOD, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID.

 

17.                               This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with regard to the matters described herein and supersedes any and all prior and/or contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between said parties, including but not limited to the Ingredion or Corn Products International Executive Severance Agreement.  Employee shall have no right to any benefits under that Ingredion or Corn Products International Executive Severance Agreement.  This Agreement shall be governed by Illinois law, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.  This Agreement may be modified only in a writing signed by both parties, and any party’s failure to enforce this Agreement in the event of one or more events which violate this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any right to enforce this Agreement against subsequent violations.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and both of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  The parties hereto agree to accept facsimile or electronic transmission of copies of signature pages as and in place of originals.

 

18.                               It is intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement will comply with Section 409A of the Code and the treasury regulations relating thereto, and this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in a manner that avoids the imposition of taxes and other penalties under Section 409A (such taxes and other penalties referred to collectively as “409A Penalties”).  In the event that the terms of this Agreement otherwise would subject Employee to 409A Penalties, INGR and Employee shall cooperate diligently to amend the terms of this Agreement to avoid such 409A Penalties, to the extent possible.  All references in this Agreement to Employee’s termination of employment shall mean a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if on the date of Employee’s separation from service Employee is a “specified employee,” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, then to the extent any amount payable under this Agreement upon Employee’s separation from service constitutes the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, that under the terms of this Agreement would be payable prior to the six-month anniversary of Employee’s separation from service, such payment shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of (i) the six-

 

6



 

month anniversary of Employee’s separation from service or (ii) the date of Employee’s death.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, under no circumstances will INGR be responsible for any taxes, penalties, interest or other losses or expenses incurred by Employee due to any failure to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

 

19.                               If any of the provisions, terms, clauses, or waivers or releases of claims or rights contained in this Agreement, including without limitation Paragraphs 11 through 13 (inclusive), are declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or ineffective, it is the purpose and intent of the Parties that any such provisions be deemed modified or limited so that, as modified or limited, such provisions may be enforced to the fullest extent possible.  In the event that such court determines that such provisions cannot be rendered enforceable through any such modification or limitation or otherwise declines to so modify or limit such provisions, such holding shall not invalidate the whole of this Agreement; instead, the Agreement shall be construed as if it did not contain the invalid, illegal or unenforceable part, and the rights and obligation of the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly; the remaining provisions, terms, clauses or waivers and release of claims or rights shall be deemed severable, such that all other provisions, terms, clauses and waivers and releases of claims and rights contained in this Agreement shall remain valid and binding.

 

THE PARTIES STATE THAT THEY HAVE READ THE FOREGOING, THAT THEY UNDERSTAND EACH OF ITS TERMS AND THAT THEY INTEND TO BE BOUND THERETO.
