Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.Interim Financial Statements

On May 15, 2012, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s name change to Ingredion Incorporated from Corn Products International, Inc. 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, 2011.

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, 2011 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 September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2012.  The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full years.

Certain prior year amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Equity and Redeemable Equity have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on previously recorded net income or cash flows.

2.New Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  The objective of this Update is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting with respect to comprehensive income.  This Update requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  Additionally, this Update requires an entity to present, on the face of the financial statements, reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented.  In December 2011, the FASB deferred the effective date for those changes required in this Update relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments.  Except for the presentation of reclassification adjustments, this Update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company has changed its presentation of Comprehensive Income to immediately follow the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.  The implementation of the guidance contained in this Update did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  This Update requires an entity to disclose both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement

8

similar to a master netting arrangement.  The guidance in this Update is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.  We are assessing the requirements of this Update and expect to comply with the guidance it contains in the first quarter of 2013.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.  The objective of this Update is to simplify how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment and improve the consistency of impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories.   This Update provides an entity with the option to assess qualitative factors in determining whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment testing.  After assessing the qualitative factors, if an entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount then it would not be required to compute the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset.  In the event the qualitative assessment leads an entity to conclude otherwise then the entity would be required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with ASC subtopic 350-30.  The guidance in this Update is effective for the Company for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company expects to early adopt the provisions of this Update in the fourth quarter of 2012.  The implementation of the guidance contained in this Update is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 Statement of Income consisting of a $6 million fixed asset impairment charge, a $2 million charge to reduce certain working capital balances to net realizable 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.  In the third quarter of 2012, the Company recorded $1 million of additional charges related to this restructuring.  The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $9 million in additional charges in the fourth quarter of 2012 associated with this restructuring, primarily due to the realization of the cumulative translation adjustment associated with the Kenyan operations.  In the third quarter of 2012, the Company was approached by certain third parties interested in purchasing the Kenyan assets.  If the Company is unsuccessful in its efforts to sell these assets, it anticipates incurring additional charges of up to $3 million to dismantle the factory in the first half of 2013.

As part of the Company’s ongoing strategic optimization, in the third quarter of 2012, the Company decided to exit its investment in Shouguang Golden Far East Modified Starch Co., Ltd (“GFEMS”), a non wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary in China.  In conjunction with that decision, the Company recorded a $4 million impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of GFEMS to its estimated net realizable value.  The Company also recorded a $1 million charge for impaired assets in Colombia in the third quarter of 2012.

Additionally, as part of a manufacturing optimization program developed in conjunction with the acquisition of National Starch to improve profitability, in the second quarter of 2011 the

9

Company committed to a plan that will optimize its production capabilities at certain of its North American facilities.  The plan was completed in October 2012.  As a result, the Company recorded restructuring charges to write-off certain equipment by the plan completion date.  For the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, the Company recorded charges of $4 million and $11 million, respectively, of which $3 million and $10 million represent accelerated depreciation on the equipment.  The equipment has been completely written off at September 30, 2012.

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, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”).  Its 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.  Its 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 over-the-counter derivatives with investment grade counterparties.  Derivative financial instruments currently used by the Company consist of commodity futures, options and swap contracts, forward currency contracts 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 volatility resulting from 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 is used 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 September 30, 2012, the Company’s AOCI account included $56 million of gains, net of tax of $32 million, related to its commodity hedging derivative instruments.

11

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 Treasury Lock agreements outstanding at September 30, 2012.

On March 25, 2011, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the interest rate on the Company’s 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 (that is, 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 currently in earnings.  The fair value of these interest rate swap agreements approximated $24 million at September 30, 2012 and is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within non-current assets, with an offsetting amount recorded in long-term debt to adjust the carrying amount of the hedged debt obligation.

At September 30, 2012, the Company’s AOCI account included $11 million of losses (net of tax of $7 million) related to settled Treasury Lock agreements.  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 (USD) 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.  As of September 30, 2012, the Company had $147 million of net notional foreign currency forward contracts that hedged net asset transactional exposures.  The fair value of these derivative instruments was approximately $1 million at September 30, 2012.

The Company also uses derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges relating to certain US dollar obligations of a foreign subsidiary.  At September 30, 2012, the Company’s AOCI account included gains of $1 million, net of tax, related to its currency-hedging derivative instruments.

The fair value and balance sheet location of the Company’s derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges are presented below:

At September 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding futures and option contracts that hedged approximately 76 million bushels of forecasted corn and 14 million pounds of forecasted soy bean oil purchases.  Also at September 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding swap and option contracts that hedged approximately 16 million mmbtu’s of forecasted natural gas purchases.

At September 30, 2012, the Company’s AOCI account included approximately $59 million of gains on commodity hedging contracts, net of income taxes, which are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months.  The Company expects the gains to be offset by changes in the underlying commodities cost.  Additionally at September 30, 2012, the Company’s AOCI account included approximately $2 million of losses on Treasury Lock agreements (net of income taxes) and an after-tax gain of $1 million related to currency hedges, which are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months.

Presented below are the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments and derivatives for the periods presented:

	As of September 30, 2012								As of December 31, 2011
(in millions)	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of 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 September 30, 2012, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $1.73 billion and $1.92 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 from the date of the grant.  Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis for all awards.

The Company granted non-qualified options to purchase 460 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 438 thousand shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The fair value of each option grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

	For the Nine Months Ended  September 30,
	2012		2011
Expected life (in years)	5.8		5.8
Risk-free interest rate	1.07	%	2.76	%
Expected volatility	33.33	%	32.71	%
Expected dividend yield	1.18	%	1.17	%

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 time of the grant for periods 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.

Stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was as follows:

(dollars and options in thousands,  except per share amounts)	Number of  Options		Weighted  Average  Exercise  Price		Average  Remaining  Contractual  Term (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic  Value

Exercisable at September 30, 2012	2,815		29.65		5.07	$	71,804

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, cash received from the exercise of stock options was $18 million and the excess tax benefit realized from the exercise of stock options was $1 million.  As of September 30, 2012, the total remaining unrecognized

Restricted Shares and Restricted Units of Common Stock:

The Company has granted shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock 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 fair value of the restricted stock and restricted units is determined based upon the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant.  Expense recognized for restricted shares and restricted units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 aggregated $2 million and $5 million, respectively, as compared to $1 million and $3 million in the comparable prior year periods.

The following table summarizes restricted share and restricted stock unit activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

	Restricted Shares				Restricted Units
(in thousands, except per share  amounts)	Number of Restricted Shares		Weighted Average Fair Value		Number of  Restricted Units		Weighted  Average  Fair Value

11.Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2012 was 25.5 percent compared to 31.0 percent a year ago.  The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2012 was 25.5 percent compared to 27.0 percent a year ago.

18

In the third quarter of 2012, the Company recognized approximately $4 million of previously unrecognized tax benefits as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations.  The Company also took actions related to the previously announced Kenya restructuring that produced additional tax benefits of approximately $3 million in the quarter.  Additionally, the Company recorded a $4 million impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of GFEMS to its estimated fair value, which is not expected to produce a realizable tax benefit.

The nine month results also include the second quarter tax benefits of approximately $13 million related to the 2012 reversal of a valuation allowance recorded in 2009 against the Company’s net deferred tax assets in Korea and $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 three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012 would have been approximately 29 percent and 31 percent, respectively.  The Company’s effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2011 was favorably impacted by the recognition of the $58.4 million nontaxable NAFTA settlement and would have otherwise would have been approximately 31 percent.

12.Mexican tax on Beverages Sweetened with HFCS

On January 1, 2002, a discriminatory tax on beverages sweetened with high fructose corn syrup (“HFCS”) approved by the Mexican Congress late in 2001, became effective.  In response to the enactment of the tax, which at the time effectively ended the use of HFCS for beverages in Mexico, the Company ceased production of HFCS 55 at its San Juan del Rio plant, one of its three plants in Mexico.  Over time, the Company resumed production and sales of HFCS and by 2006 had returned to levels attained prior to the imposition of the tax as a result of certain customers having obtained court rulings exempting them from paying the tax.  The Mexican Congress repealed this tax effective January 1, 2007.

On October 21, 2003, the Company submitted, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Mexican affiliate, CPIngredientes, S.A. de C.V. (previously known as Compania Proveedora de Ingredientes), a Request for Institution of Arbitration Proceedings Submitted Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) (the “Request”). The Request was submitted to the Additional Office of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes and was brought against the United Mexican States.  In the Request, the Company asserted that the imposition by Mexico of a discriminatory tax on beverages containing HFCS in force from 2002 through 2006 breached various obligations of Mexico under the investment protection provisions of NAFTA.  The case was bifurcated into two phases, liability and damages, and a hearing on liability was held before a Tribunal in July 2006.  In a Decision dated January 15, 2008, the Tribunal unanimously held that Mexico had violated NAFTA Article 1102, National Treatment, by treating beverages sweetened with HFCS produced by foreign companies differently than those sweetened with domestic sugar.  In July 2008, a hearing regarding the quantum of damages was held before the same Tribunal.  The Company sought damages and pre- and post-judgment interest totaling $288 million through December 31, 2008.

In an award rendered August 18, 2009, the Tribunal awarded damages to CPIngredientes in the amount of $58.4 million, as a result of the tax and certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred by CPIngredientes, together with accrued interest.  On October 1, 2009, the

19

Company submitted to the Tribunal a request for correction of this award to avoid effective double taxation on the amount of the award in Mexico.

On March 26, 2010, the Tribunal issued a correction of its August 18, 2009 damages award.  While the amount of damages had not changed, the decision made the damages payable to Ingredion Incorporated (formerly Corn Products International, Inc.) instead of CPIngredientes.

On January 24 and 25, 2011, the Company received cash payments totaling $58.4 million from the Government of the United Mexican States pursuant to the corrected award.  Mexico made these payments pursuant to an agreement with Ingredion Incorporated that provides for terminating pending post-award litigation and waiving post-award interest.  The $58.4 million award is included in other income in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

ITEM 2

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

Overview

We are a major supplier of high-quality food ingredients, industrial products and specialty starches 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 sweeteners are found in products such as baked goods, candies, chewing gum, dairy products and ice cream, soft drinks and beer.  Our starches are a staple of the food, paper, textile, beer and corrugating industries.

Third quarter 2012 was a strong period for us as we achieved company record highs for third quarter net sales, operating income, net income and diluted earnings per common share.  Higher product selling prices and volume growth were the primary drivers of this record performance.  Despite challenging macroeconomic conditions, we achieved sales volume growth and product price improvements to cover higher raw material costs and foreign currency headwinds.  Additionally, we further enhanced our liquidity and financial flexibility by selling $300 million of 1.80 percent five-year Senior Notes in September and recently entering into a new five-year $1 billion revolving credit agreement.  We are positioned well for the fourth quarter and currently anticipate a strong full year 2012.

We currently expect that our future cash flow from operations and borrowing availability under our credit facilities will provide us with sufficient liquidity to fund our anticipated capital expenditures, dividends, and other investing and/or financing strategies 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 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

With Comparatives for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

Net Income attributable to Ingredion.  Net income for Ingredion for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 increased to $112.7 million, or $1.45 per diluted common share, from $87.7 million, or $1.12 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2011.  Ingredion net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased to $316.0 million, or $4.06 per diluted common share, from $320.7 million, or $4.10 per diluted common share, in the prior year period.  The results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 include after-tax charges for impaired assets in China and Colombia and plant shut-down costs in Kenya totaling $3 million ($0.04 per diluted common share) and $7 million ($0.09 per diluted common share), respectively.  The results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 also include after-tax restructuring charges of approximately $2 million ($0.03 per diluted common share) and $7 million ($0.09 per diluted common share), respectively, relating to our manufacturing optimization plan in North America.   Additionally, the results for the first nine months of 2012 include after-tax costs of $3 million ($0.03 per diluted common share), associated with our integration of National Starch.  Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 also include 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).  Our results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 included after-tax costs of $4 million ($0.05 per diluted common share) and $14 million ($0.17 per diluted common share), respectively, related to the integration of National Starch and after-tax restructuring charges of $2 million ($0.03 per diluted common share) and $4 million ($0.05 per diluted common share), respectively, relating to our manufacturing optimization plan in North America.  Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 also included a $58 million NAFTA award ($0.75 per diluted common share) received from the Government of the United Mexican States (see Note 12 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information).

Without the reversal of the Korean deferred tax asset valuation allowance, the impairment/restructuring charges, the integration costs and the 2011 NAFTA award, net income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 would have grown 26 percent and 14 percent, respectively, over the comparable prior year periods, while our diluted earnings per common share would have risen 27 percent and 15 percent, respectively.  These increases primarily reflect operating income growth in North America and, to a lesser extent, in Asia Pacific.

Net Sales. Third quarter 2012 net sales totaled $1.68 billion, up 3 percent from third quarter 2011 net sales of $1.63 billion.  The increase in net sales reflects a 5 percent price/product mix improvement and 3 percent volume growth which more than offset unfavorable currency translation of 5 percent attributable to weaker foreign currencies. 

21

Co-product sales of $323 million for third quarter 2012 increased approximately 10 percent from $295 million in the prior year period, driven by higher volume and improved selling prices.

North American net sales for third quarter 2012 increased 10 percent to $977 million, from $889 million a year ago.  This increase reflects improved price/product mix of 6 percent and volume growth of 4 percent driven by stronger demand from our soft drink and brewing customers.  Improved selling prices helped to offset higher corn costs.  In South America, third quarter 2012 net sales decreased 12 percent to $363 million from $412 million a year ago, as unfavorable currency translation of 13 percent and a 3 percent volume reduction more than offset a price/product mix improvement of 4 percent.  The volume decline primarily reflects a weaker economy in Brazil.  Asia Pacific third quarter 2012 net sales increased 11 percent to $215 million from $195 million a year ago.  Volume growth of 12 percent driven by stronger demand from our food and beverage customers and price/product mix improvement of 3 percent, more than offset unfavorable currency translation of 4 percent.  EMEA net sales for third quarter 2012 declined 6 percent to $124 million from $132 million a year ago, as unfavorable currency translation of 8 percent more than offset a 2 percent price/product mix improvement.  Volume in this segment was flat.

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $4.89 billion, up 5 percent from $4.67 billion from the same period a year ago.  The increase in net sales reflects a price/product mix improvement of 6 percent and volume growth of 2 percent, which more than offset unfavorable currency translation of 3 percent due to weaker foreign currencies.  Co-product sales of $857 million for the first nine months of 2012 increased approximately 3 percent from $836 million in the prior year period, as increased volume and moderately higher selling prices more than offset weaker foreign currencies.

Net sales in North America for the first nine months of 2012 increased 12 percent to $2.82 billion from $2.52 billion a year ago.  This increase primarily reflects improved price/product mix of 7 percent and volume growth of 5 percent driven by stronger demand from our soft drink and brewing customers.  Improved selling prices helped to offset higher corn costs.  In South America, net sales for the first nine months of 2012 decreased 8 percent to $1.08 billion from $1.17 billion in the prior year period, as a 10 percent decline attributable to weaker foreign currencies and a 3 percent volume reduction, more than offset a 5 percent price/product mix improvement.  The volume decline primarily reflects a combination of weaker economic activity in the segment and a transportation strike and labor issues that impacted our customers in Argentina.  Net sales in Asia Pacific for the first nine months of 2012 grew 6 percent to $613 million from $578 million a year ago, as volume growth of 5 percent and price/product mix improvement of 3 percent, more than offset unfavorable currency translation of 2 percent.  EMEA net sales for the first nine months of 2012 decreased 6 percent to $378 million from $403 million a year ago, as unfavorable currency translation of 7 percent and a 3 percent volume reduction attributable to a weak European economy and energy shortages in Pakistan, more than offset a 4 percent price/product mix improvement.

Cost of Sales and Operating Expenses. Cost of sales of $1.37 billion for the third quarter of 2012 increased 1 percent from $1.35 billion in the prior year period.  Cost of sales of $3.98 billion for the first nine months of 2012 increased 4 percent from $3.83 billion a year ago.  These increases primarily reflect higher corn costs and volume growth.  Currency translation caused cost of sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 to decrease approximately 5 percent and 4 percent, respectively, from the year ago periods, reflecting the impact of weaker foreign currencies.  Gross corn costs for the third quarter and first nine months

22

of 2012 increased approximately 3 percent and 6 percent, respectively, from the comparable prior year periods, driven by higher market prices for corn.  Our gross profit margin for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 was 18.7 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, compared to 17.0 percent and 18.1 percent in the prior year periods.

Operating expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 increased to $137 million and $405 million, respectively, from $131 million and $400 million last year.  These increases primarily reflect higher compensation related costs.  Lower integration expenses and the impact of weaker foreign currencies partially offset these increases.  Currency translation associated with the weaker foreign currencies caused operating expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 to decrease approximately 5 percent and 3 percent, respectively, from the prior year periods.  Operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were 8.2 percent and 8.3 percent for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, compared to 8.1 percent and 8.6 percent in the prior year periods.  Without the integration costs, operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, would have been 8.1 percent and 8.2 percent for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, up from 7.7 percent and 8.1 percent in the comparable prior year periods.

Operating Income.  Third quarter 2012 operating income increased 19 percent to $169 million from $142 million a year ago.  The current year period includes restructuring charges of $5 million for impaired assets in China and Colombia and $1 million of plant shut-down 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 $0.6 million of costs pertaining to the integration of National Starch.  Third quarter 2011 operating income included $5 million of costs pertaining to the integration of National Starch and a $4 million restructuring charge associated with our North American manufacturing optimization plan.  Without the impairment/restructuring charges and integration costs, operating income for the third quarter of 2012 would have increased 18 percent to $179 million from $151 million a year ago.  This increase was driven by strong earnings growth in North America and, to a lesser extent, in Asia Pacific.  Unfavorable currency translation due to weaker foreign currencies reduced operating income by approximately $10 million from the prior year period.  North America operating income for third quarter 2012 increased 33 percent to $102.5 million from $77.3 million a year ago.  The increase was driven principally by improved product selling prices and volume growth, which more than offset higher corn costs.  Currency translation associated with the weaker Canadian dollar was only slightly unfavorable in the region.  South America operating income for third quarter 2012 decreased 2 percent to $46.7 million from $47.6 million a year ago.  This decline reflects lower earnings in the Southern Cone of South America and Brazil principally driven by soft demand and currency weakness.  Translation effects associated with weaker South American currencies (particularly the Brazilian Real and the Argentine Peso) caused operating income to decrease by approximately $7 million.  Asia Pacific operating income for third quarter 2012 increased 43 percent to $28.6 million from $20.0 million a year ago, primarily driven by higher sales volume and improved price/product mix, which more than offset the impact of weaker currencies.  Unfavorable translation effects associated with weaker foreign currencies caused Asia Pacific operating income to decrease by approximately $1 million.  EMEA operating income decreased 9 percent to $19.5 million from $21.5 million a year ago primarily reflecting foreign currency weakness.  Unfavorable translation effects associated with weaker foreign currencies caused EMEA operating income to decrease by approximately $2 million.

23

Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $483 million, down 4 percent from $505 million a year ago.  The current year period includes $11 million of charges for impaired assets and restructuring costs in Kenya, $5 million of charges for impaired assets in China and Colombia, $11 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.  Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included the $58 million NAFTA award, $20 million of costs pertaining to the integration of National Starch and $6 million of restructuring charges related to our North American manufacturing optimization plan.  Without the impairment/restructuring charges, integration costs and the 2011 NAFTA award, operating income for the first nine months of 2012 would have increased 9 percent to $514 million from $473 million a year ago, primarily reflecting strong earnings growth in North America and, to a lesser extent, in Asia Pacific.  Unfavorable currency translation associated with weaker foreign currencies caused operating income to decline by approximately $23 million from the prior year period.  North America operating income for the first nine months of 2012 increased 21 percent to $299.3 million from $248.0 million a year ago.  Improved product selling prices and volume growth helped to offset higher corn costs.  Currency translation associated with a weaker Canadian dollar caused operating income to decrease by approximately $2 million in North America.  South America operating income for the first nine months 2012 declined 3 percent to $139.7 million from $144.5 million a year ago.  The decrease primarily reflects lower earnings in Brazil principally driven by softer demand from a weaker economy and currency weakness, which more than offset improved earnings in the Southern Cone and Andean regions of South America.  Translation effects associated with weaker South American currencies (particularly the Argentine Peso and the Brazilian Real) caused operating income to decrease by approximately $15 million in the segment.  Asia Pacific operating income for the first nine months of 2012 increased 16 percent to $71.8 million from $61.7 million a year ago, primarily reflecting sales volume growth and improved price/mix, which more than offset the impact of weaker currencies and higher manufacturing costs.  Unfavorable translation effects associated with weaker foreign currencies caused Asia Pacific operating income to decrease by approximately $2 million.  EMEA operating income decreased 12 percent to $57.1 million from $65.2 million a year ago.  The decline primarily reflects softer demand attributable to difficult economic conditions, higher energy costs and weaker foreign currencies.  Translation effects associated with weaker foreign currencies caused EMEA operating income to decrease by approximately $4 million.

Financing Costs-net. Financing costs for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 were $16 million and $53 million, respectively, as compared to $13 million and $58 million in the comparable prior year periods.  The increase in the current quarter primarily reflects a swing in foreign currency transaction losses, partially offset by an increase in interest income attributable to our higher cash balances and lower interest expense on our outstanding debt.  Our foreign currency transaction losses were insignificant for third quarter 2012, as compared to the prior year period, when we had $5 million of foreign currency transaction gains.  The decrease in financing costs for the first nine months of 2012 primarily reflects an increase in interest income attributable to our higher cash balances, a decrease in interest expense driven by lower borrowing rates and a reduction in foreign currency transaction losses.

Provision for Income Taxes.  Our effective income tax rate was 25.5 percent for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, as compared to 31.0 percent and 27.0 percent in the comparable prior year periods.

24

In the third quarter of 2012, we recognized approximately $4 million of previously unrecognized tax benefits as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations.  We also took actions related to the previously announced Kenya restructuring that produced additional tax benefits of approximately $3 million in the quarter.  Additionally, we recorded a $4 million impairment charge related to our non wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary in China, which is not expected to produce a realizable tax benefit.

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 also reflects the effects of the reversal of a $13 million valuation allowance that had been recorded against net deferred tax assets of our Korean subsidiary and the recognition of an income tax benefit of $6 million related to the second quarter 2012 pre-tax charge of $10 million in Kenya and the associated tax write-off of the investment.

Without these items, the effective income tax rates for third quarter and first nine months of 2012 would have been approximately 29 percent and 31 percent, respectively.  Our effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2011 was favorably impacted by the recognition of the $58 million nontaxable NAFTA settlement and would have otherwise been approximately 31 percent.

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 was $1 million and $4 million, respectively, as compared to $2 million and $5 million in the comparable prior year periods.  These decreases primarily reflect lower earnings at our non wholly-owned operations in Pakistan and China.

Comprehensive Income Attributable to Ingredion. We recorded comprehensive income of $195 million for the third quarter of 2012, as compared to a comprehensive loss of $155 million in the prior year period.  The increase primarily reflects a favorable variance in the currency translation adjustment, gains on cash flow hedges and, to a lesser extent, our net income growth.  The favorable variances in the currency translation adjustment reflect a moderate strengthening in end of period foreign currencies relative to the US dollar in the third quarter of 2012, as compared to a year ago, when end of period foreign currencies had significantly weakened.  For the first nine months of 2012, we recorded comprehensive income of $376 million, as compared with $150 million a year ago.  The increase primarily reflects gains on cash flow hedges and a favorable variance in the currency translation adjustment.  The favorable variances in the currency translation adjustment reflect a more moderate weakening in end of period foreign currencies relative to the US dollar in 2012, as compared to a year ago, when end of period foreign currency depreciation was more significant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2012 increased to $563 million from $147 million a year ago.  The increase in operating cash flow primarily reflects an improvement in working capital, as compared to the prior year period.  The year-over-year improvement in working capital was driven principally by a reduction in inventories, a decrease in accounts receivable and a decrease in our margin accounts relating to commodity hedging contracts.  Capital expenditures of $202 million for the first nine months of 2012 are in line with our capital spending plan for the year.  We anticipate that our capital expenditures will be approximately $300 million for full year 2012.

25

On September 20, 2012, we sold $300 million of 1.80 percent Senior Notes due September 25, 2017 (the “Notes”).  The Notes rank equally with our other senior unsecured debt.  Interest on the Notes is required to be paid semi-annually on March 25th and September 25th, beginning in March 2013.  We have the option to prepay the Notes at 100 percent of the principal amount plus interest up to the prepayment date and, in certain circumstances, a make-whole amount.  The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes of approximately $297 million were used to repay $205 million of borrowings under our previously existing $1 billion revolving credit facility (see discussion below) and for general corporate purposes.  We paid debt issuance costs of approximately $2 million relating to the Notes, which are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Notes.

On October 22, 2012, we entered into a new five-year, senior unsecured $1 billion revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”).  The Revolving Credit Agreement replaced our previously existing $1 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility.  We anticipate that we will pay fees of approximately $3 million relating to the new credit facility, which will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the facility.

Subject to certain terms and conditions, we may increase the amount of the revolving facility under the Revolving Credit Agreement by up to $250 million in the aggregate.  All committed pro rata borrowings under the revolving facility will bear interest at a variable annual rate based on the LIBOR or prime rate, at our election, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on our leverage ratio (as reported in the financial statements delivered pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement).

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, events of default, terms and conditions, including limitations on liens, incurrence of debt, mergers and significant asset dispositions.  We must also comply with a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio covenant.  The occurrence of an event of default under the Revolving Credit Agreement could result in all loans and other obligations under the agreement being declared due and payable and the revolving credit facility being terminated.

We had no borrowings outstanding under our previously existing $1 billion revolving credit facility at September 30, 2012.  In addition to borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit Agreement, we have approximately $533 million of unused operating lines of credit in the various foreign countries in which we operate.

At September 30, 2012, we had total debt outstanding of $1.77 billion, as compared to $1.95 billion at December 31, 2011.  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 $45 million of consolidated subsidiary debt consisting of local country short-term borrowings.  The weighted average interest rate on our total indebtedness was approximately 4.5 percent for the first nine months of 2012, down from 4.9 percent in the comparable prior year period.

On September 20, 2012, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.26 per share of common stock, a 30 percent increase from the previous quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share.  This dividend was paid on October 25, 2012 to stockholders of record at the close of business on October 3, 2012.

26

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

We have not provided federal and state income taxes on accumulated undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries because these earnings have been permanently reinvested.  Approximately $392 million of our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2012 was 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, without requiring us to repatriate earnings from our foreign subsidiaries. It is not practicable to determine the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the undistributed earnings.

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 include but are not limited to a variety of 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:

We use derivatives to manage price risk related to purchases of corn and natural gas used in our manufacturing processes.  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 hedge price risk related to co-product 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 September 30, 2012, our accumulated other comprehensive loss account (“AOCI”) included $56 million of gains, net of tax of $32 million, related to these derivative instruments.  It is anticipated that approximately $59 million of these gains, net of tax, will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months.  We expect the gains 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

27

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 September 30, 2012, we had $147 million of net notional foreign currency forward contracts that hedged net asset transactional exposures.  The fair value of these derivative instruments was approximately $1 million at September 30, 2012.

We also use derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges relating to certain US dollar obligations of a foreign subsidiary.  At September 30, 2012, our AOCI account included gains of $1 million, net of tax, related to these currency-hedging derivative instruments.

Interest Rate Risk:

We are exposed to interest rate volatility with regard to future issuances of fixed-rate debt, and existing and future issuances of variable-rate debt.  Primary exposures include US Treasury rates, LIBOR, and local short-term borrowing rates.  We use interest rate swaps and Treasury Lock agreements (“T-Locks”) from time to time 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 September 30, 2012, 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 approximated $24 million at September 30, 2012 and is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within non-current assets, with an offsetting amount recorded in long-term debt to adjust the carrying amount of the hedged debt obligation.

At September 30, 2012, our accumulated other comprehensive loss account included $11 million of losses (net of tax of $7 million) related to settled Treasury Lock agreements.  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 tax of $1 million) will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As previously reported, on April 22, 2011, Western Sugar and two other sugar companies filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the Corn Refiners Association (“CRA”) and certain of its member companies, including us, alleging false and/or misleading statements relating to high fructose corn syrup in violation of the Lanham Act and California’s unfair competition law. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and unspecified damages.  On May 23, 2011, the plaintiffs amended the complaint to add additional plaintiffs, among other reasons.

On July 1, 2011, the CRA and the member companies in the case filed a motion to dismiss the first amended complaint on multiple grounds.  On October 21, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California dismissed all Federal and state claims against us and the other members of the CRA, with leave for the plaintiffs to amend their complaint, and also dismissed all state law claims against the CRA.

The state law claims against the CRA were dismissed pursuant to a California law known as the anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) statute, which, according to the court’s opinion, allows early dismissal of meritless first amendment cases aimed at chilling expression through costly, time-consuming litigation.  The court held that the CRA’s statements were protected speech made in a public forum in connection with an issue of public interest (high fructose corn syrup).  Under the anti-SLAPP statute, the CRA is entitled to recover its attorney’s fees and costs from the plaintiffs.

On November 18, 2011, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint against certain of the CRA member companies, including us, seeking to reinstate the federal law claims, but not the state law claims, against certain of the CRA member companies, including us.  On December 16, 2011, the CRA member companies filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on multiple grounds.   On July 31, 2012, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California denied the motion to dismiss for all CRA member companies other than Roquette America, Inc.

On September 4, 2012, we and the other CRA member companies that remain defendants in the case filed an answer to the plaintiffs’ second amended complaint that, among other things, added a counterclaim against the Sugar Association.  The counterclaim alleges that the Sugar Association has made false and misleading statements that processed sugar differs from high fructose corn syrup in ways that are beneficial to consumers’ health (i.e., that consumers will be healthier if they consume foods and beverages containing processed sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup).  The counterclaim, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, seeks injunctive relief and unspecified damages.  Although the counterclaim was initially only filed against the Sugar Association, the Company and the other CRA member companies that remain defendants in the Western Sugar case have reserved the right to add other plaintiffs to the counterclaim in the future.

On October 29, 2012, the Sugar Association and the other plaintiffs filed a motion to dismiss the counterclaim and certain related portions of the defendants’ answer, each on multiple grounds.

We continue to believe that the second amended complaint is without merit and intend to vigorously defend this case.  In addition, we intend to vigorously pursue our rights in connection with the counterclaim.

1.3Administration. This Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have the authority to determine eligibility for awards hereunder and to determine the form, amount and timing of each award to such persons and, if applicable, the number of shares of Common Stock, the performance period, the restriction period and the number of shares subject to such an award, the exercise price associated with the award, the time and conditions of exercise or settlement of the award and all other terms and conditions of the award, including, without limitation, the form of the Agreement evidencing the award. The Committee may, in its sole discretion and for any reason at any time, subject to the requirements imposed under Section 162(m) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder in the case of an award intended to be qualified performance-based compensation, take action such that (i) any or all outstanding options and SARs shall become exercisable in part or in full, (ii) the Performance Measures applicable to any outstanding Restricted Stock Award (if any), to any

4

outstanding Restricted Stock Unit Award (if any) and to any outstanding Performance Share Award shall be deemed to be satisfied at the maximum or any other lower level.

The Committee shall, subject to the terms of this Plan, interpret this Plan and the application thereof, establish rules and regulations it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of this Plan and may impose, incidental to the grant of an award, conditions with respect to the award, such as limiting competitive employment or other activities. All such interpretations, rules, regulations and conditions shall be final, binding and conclusive.

The Committee shall keep minutes of its meetings and of action taken by it without a meeting. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. The acts of the Committee shall be either (i) acts of a majority of the members of the Committee present at any meeting at which a quorum is present or (ii) acts approved in writing by all of the members of the Committee without a meeting.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in accordance with Section 157(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Committee may, by resolution, authorize one or more executive officers of the Company to do one or both of the following: (i) designate non-director and non-executive officer employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be recipients of rights or options entitling the holder thereof to purchase from the Company shares of its capital stock of any class or other awards hereunder; and (ii) determine the number of such rights, options, or awards to be received by such non-director and non-executive officer employees; provided, however, that the resolution so authorizing such executive officer or officers shall specify the total number of rights, options, or awards such executive officer or officers may so award.  Any action taken pursuant to such authorization made in accordance with Section 157(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law shall be deemed to be action taken by the Committee. The Committee may not authorize an executive officer to designate himself or herself or any director or other executive officer of the Company to be a recipient of any such rights, options, or awards.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, to the extent an award granted hereunder would be subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder, then the Agreement for such award and the Plan shall be construed and administered in a manner so that the award complies with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder; provided, that no particular tax result with respect to any income recognized by a Participant in connection with an award under the Plan is guaranteed and each Participant shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on the Participant in connection with awards under the Plan.

1.4Eligibility. Participants in this Plan shall consist of such directors, officers, and other employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries from time to time, and any other entity designated by the Board or the Committee (individually a “Subsidiary” and collectively the “Subsidiaries”) as the Committee, in its sole discretion, directly or indirectly pursuant to the fourth paragraph of Section 1.3, may select from time to time. For purposes of this Plan, reference to employment by the Company shall also mean employment by a Subsidiary.

1.5Shares Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.7, 5,700,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Plan Maximum”) shall be available under this Plan for awards that are granted after the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2010 Annual Meeting”).  The Plan Maximum includes shares of Common Stock that were available for new awards under the Plan as in effect immediately prior to the 2010 Annual Meeting.   Shares of Common Stock subject to awards outstanding under the Plan immediately prior to the 2010 Annual Meeting shall also be available for issuance hereunder. The Plan Maximum shall be reduced by the sum of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (i) that are issued upon the grant of a Stock Award after the 2010 Annual Meeting or (ii) that become subject to options, SARs or Performance Shares, in each case that are granted after the 2010 Annual Meeting in the following ratios: 1 to 1 for each Incentive Stock Option, Non-Statutory Stock Option or Free-Standing SAR, 2.5 to 1 for any other type of award granted under the Plan after the Company’s 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and prior to the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and 2 to 1 for any other type of award granted under the Plan after the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, it being understood that in the case of an SAR the reduction shall be equal to the total number of SARs subject to the award, regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon settlement thereof.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Plan Maximum shall not be reduced by virtue of the grant of Performance Shares or SARs that may only be settled in cash.  To the extent that shares of Common Stock subject to an option (other than in connection with the exercise of a Tandem SAR), Stock Award or Performance Share Award are not issued or delivered by reason of the expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such award: (i) such shares of Common Stock shall again be available under this Plan and (ii) the Plan Maximum shall be increased to the extent it was reduced when such award was granted.  If a Performance Share or SAR that can be settled in either cash or Common Stock is settled in cash, in whole or in part, the Plan Maximum shall be increased to the extent it was reduced with respect to the cash-settled portion of the award when the award was granted.  If an award is made in the form of an option coupled with a Performance Share Award such that the Participant can receive the designated number of shares either upon exercise of the option or upon earning of the Performance Share, but not both, such coupled award shall be treated as a single award of the designated number of shares for purposes of this Section 1.5.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.5 to the contrary, shares of Common Stock subject to an award under this Plan may not be made available for issuance under this Plan if such shares are: (i) shares that were subject to a stock-settled SAR and were not issued as a result of the net settlement or net exercise of such SAR, (ii) shares used to pay the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option or Non-Statutory Stock Option, (iii) shares delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay withholding taxes related to an award under this Plan, or (iv) shares repurchased on the open market with the proceeds of an option exercise.

Shares of Common Stock shall be made available from authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, or authorized and issued shares of Common Stock reacquired and held as treasury shares or otherwise or a combination thereof.

To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code and the rules and regulations thereunder, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options,

6

SARs, Stock Awards or Performance Share Awards or a combination thereof may be granted during any calendar year to any person shall be 500,000, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.7.

Except with respect to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the shares of Common Stock authorized in this Section 1.5, any Stock Award which vests on the basis of a Participant’s continued employment with or provision of service to the Company shall not provide for vesting which is any more rapid than annual pro rata vesting over a three (3) year period and any Stock Award which vests upon the attainment of performance goals shall provide for a performance period of at least twelve (12) months; provided that vesting may be shortened in the case of death, disability, retirement or Change in Control as set forth in this Plan or determined by the Committee.

II.STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

2.1Stock Options. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Incentive Stock Options or Non-Statutory Stock Options to such eligible persons under Section 1.4 as may be selected by the Committee.

Options shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable; provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Option or Non-Statutory Stock Option shall provide for the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to periods prior to exercise:

(a) Number of Shares and Purchase Price. The number of shares and the purchase price per share of Common Stock subject to an option shall be determined by the Committee, provided, however, that the purchase price per share of Common Stock shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of such option and provided further, that if an Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any person who, at the time such option is granted, owns capital stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of the Company (or of any parent or subsidiary as defined in Section 424 of the Code) (a “ Ten Percent Holder ”), the purchase price per share of Common Stock shall be the price (currently 110% of Fair Market Value) required by the Code in order to constitute an Incentive Stock Option.

(b) Option Period and Exercisability. Each option, by its terms, shall require the Participant to remain in the continuous employ of the Company for at least one year following the date of grant of the option before any part of the option shall be exercisable, except in the case of a Change in Control. The period during which an option may be exercised shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Option or Non-Statutory Stock Option shall be exercised later than ten years after its date of grant; provided further, that if an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Ten Percent Holder, such option shall not be exercised later than five years after its date of grant.  The Committee may, in its discretion, establish Performance Measures which shall be satisfied or met as a condition to the grant of an option or to the exercisability of all or a portion of an option. The Committee shall

7

determine whether an option shall become exercisable in cumulative or non-cumulative installments and in part or in full at any time. An exercisable option, or portion thereof, may be exercised only for whole shares of Common Stock.

(c) Method of Exercise. An option may be exercised (i) by giving written notice to the Company specifying the number of whole shares of Common Stock to be purchased and accompanied by payment therefore in full (or arrangement made for such payment to the Company’s satisfaction) either (A) by the delivery of cash in the amount of the aggregate purchase price payable by reason of such exercise, (B) by delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) of previously acquired shares of Common Stock that have an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of exercise, equal to the aggregate purchase price payable by reason of such exercise, (C) by the delivery of cash in the amount of the aggregate purchase price payable by reason of such exercise by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom the optionee has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise, (D) authorizing the Company to withhold whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of exercise, equal to the aggregate purchase price payable by reason of such exercise, or (E) a combination of (A), (B) and (D), (ii) if applicable, by surrendering to the Company any Tandem SARs which are cancelled by reason of the exercise of the option and (iii) by executing such documents as the Company may reasonably request. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would be required to pay such purchase price shall be paid in cash by the optionee. No certificate representing Common Stock shall be delivered until the full purchase price therefore has been paid (or arrangement made for such payment to the Company’s satisfaction).  The provisions of this paragraph shall supersede the provisions of any Agreement relating to an option, including any option outstanding as of the date of this Amendment.

2.2Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant SARs to such eligible persons under Section 1.4 as may be selected by the Committee. The Agreement relating to an SAR shall specify whether the SAR is a Tandem SAR or a Free-Standing SAR. SARs shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable; provided, however, that no SAR shall provide for the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to periods prior to settlement:

(a) Number of SARs and Base Price. The number of SARs subject to an award shall be determined by the Committee. Any Tandem SAR related to an Incentive Stock Option shall be granted at the same time that such Incentive Stock Option is granted. The base price of a Tandem SAR shall be the purchase price per share of Common Stock of the related option. The base price of a Free-Standing SAR shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that such base price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of such SAR.

(b) Exercise Period and Exercisability. Each SAR, by its terms, shall require the Participant to remain in the continuous employ of the Company for at least one year following the date of grant of the SAR before any part of the SAR shall be exercisable, except in the case of a Change in Control. The Agreement relating to an award of SARs shall specify whether such award may be settled in shares of Common Stock (including shares of Restricted Stock) or cash or a combination thereof. The period for the exercise of an SAR shall be determined by the

8

Committee; provided, however, that no SAR may be exercised later than 10 years after its date of grant; provided further, that no Tandem SAR shall be exercised later than the expiration, cancellation, forfeiture or other termination of the related option. The Committee may, in its discretion, establish Performance Measures which shall be satisfied or met as a condition to the grant of an SAR or to the exercisability of all or a portion of an SAR. The Committee shall determine whether an SAR may be exercised in cumulative or non-cumulative installments and in part or in full at any time. An exercisable SAR, or portion thereof, may be exercised, in the case of a Tandem SAR, only with respect to whole shares of Common Stock and, in the case of a Free Standing SAR, only with respect to a whole number of SARs. If an SAR is exercised for shares of Restricted Stock, a certificate or certificates representing such Restricted Stock shall be issued in accordance with Section 3.2(c) and the holder of such Restricted Stock shall have such rights of a stockholder of the Company as determined pursuant to Section 3.2(d). Prior to the exercise of an SAR for shares of Common Stock, including Restricted Stock, the holder of such SAR shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to such SAR.

(c) Method of Exercise. A Tandem SAR may be exercised (i) by giving written notice to the Company specifying the number of whole SARs which are being exercised, (ii) by surrendering to the Company any options which are cancelled by reason of the exercise of the Tandem SAR and (iii) by executing such documents as the Company may reasonably request. A Free-Standing SAR may be exercised (i) by giving written notice to the Company specifying the whole number of SARs which are being exercised and (ii) by executing such documents as the Company may reasonably request.

2.3Termination of Employment or Service. (a) Non-Statutory Stock Options and SARs. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement evidencing an option or SAR, but subject to Section 2.1(b) or Section 2.2(b), as the case may be, if the holder of an option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) or SAR terminates employment with the Company (1) by reason of (i) death, or (ii) retirement on or after age 55 with a minimum of 10 years of employment with or service to the Company, or (iii) the occurrence of such Participant’s Disability Date, or (2) for any reason within two years following a Change in Control, such option or SAR shall be exercisable for the remainder of the option period or SAR period as stated under the terms of the option or SAR, as the case may be, but only to the extent that such option or SAR was exercisable at the date of such termination of employment.

If the employment with the Company of the holder of an option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) or SAR is terminated under any other circumstance, such option or SAR shall remain exercisable to the extent that it was exercisable at the date of such termination of employment, for a period of 90 days following such termination of employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.3(a), if such holder’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause, his or her rights under all options and SARs shall terminate automatically on the effective date of such termination of employment.

(b) Termination of Employment — Incentive Stock Options. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement evidencing an option, but subject to Section 2.1(b), if the holder of an Incentive

9

Stock Option terminates employment with the Company by reason of Permanent and Total Disability, such Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that it was exercisable on the effective date of such termination of employment and may thereafter be exercised by such holder (or such holder’s legal representative or similar person) until the date which is one year after the effective date of such termination of employment.

Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement evidencing an option, but subject to Section 2.1(b), if the holder of an Incentive Stock Option ceases to be an employee of the Company by reason of his or her death, such Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that it was exercisable on the date of such optionee’s death and may thereafter be exercised by such optionee’s executor, administrator, legal representative, beneficiary or similar person until the date which is three years after the date of death.

If the Company terminates the employment of the holder of an Incentive Stock Option for Cause, such Incentive Stock Option shall terminate automatically on the effective date of such termination of employment.

Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement evidencing an option, but subject to Section 2.1(b), if the Company’s employment of the holder of an Incentive Stock Option is terminated for any reason other than Permanent and Total disability, death or Cause, such Incentive Stock shall be excisable only to the extent that it was exercisable on the effective date of such termination of employment, and may thereafter be exercised by such holder (or such holder’s legal representative or similar person) until the date which is 90 days after the effective date of such termination of employment.

If the holder of an Incentive Stock Option dies during the period set forth in the first paragraph of this Subsection (b) following termination of employment by reason of Permanent and Total Disability, or during the period set forth in the fourth paragraph of this Subsection (b) following termination of employment for any reason other than Permanent and Total Disability for death or Cause, such Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable only to the extent it was exercisable on the date of the holder’s death and may thereafter be exercised by the holder’s executor, administrator, legal representative, beneficiary or similar person until the date which is three years after the date of death.

2.4No Repricing. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary and subject to Section 5.7, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company the Committee will not amend or replace any previously granted option or SAR in a transaction that constitutes a “repricing,” as such term is used in Section 303A.08 of the Listed Company Manual of the New York Stock Exchange, will not cancel an option or SAR that has an exercise price which is greater than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Common Stock in exchange for stock, cash or other consideration and will not cancel an option or SAR that has an exercise price greater than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Common Stock and regrant such option or SAR with a lower exercise price or base price.

The Agreement relating to the Stock Award shall specify whether the Stock Award is a Restricted Stock Award, a Restricted Stock Unit Award, or Bonus Stock Award.

3.2Terms of Stock Awards. Stock Awards shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable.

(b) Vesting and Forfeiture. The Agreement relating to a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award shall provide, in the manner determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and subject to the provisions of this Plan, for the vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to such award, in the case of a Restricted Stock Award, or the vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit Award itself, in the case of Restricted Stock Unit Award, (i) if specified Performance Measures are satisfied or met during the specified Restriction Period or (ii) if the holder of such award remains continuously in the employment of or service to the Company during the specified Restriction Period, and for the forfeiture of the shares of Common Stock subject to such award in the case of a Restricted Stock Award, or the forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Unit Award itself, in the case of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, (x) if specified Performance Measures are not satisfied or met during the specified Restriction Period or (y) if the holder of such award does not remain continuously in the employment of or service to the Company during the specified Restriction Period.

Bonus Stock Awards shall not be subject to any Performance Measures or Restriction Periods.

(c) Stock Issuance. During the Restriction Period, the shares of Restricted Stock shall be held by a custodian in book entry form with restrictions on such shares duly noted or, alternatively, a certificate or certificates representing a Restricted Stock Award shall be registered in the holder’s name and may bear a legend, in addition to any legend which may be required pursuant to Section 5.6, indicating that the ownership of the shares of Common Stock represented by such certificate is subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions of this Plan and the Agreement relating to the Restricted Stock Award. All such certificates shall be deposited with the Company, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment (including a power of attorney), each endorsed in blank with a guarantee of signature if deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company, which would permit transfer to the Company of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award in the event such award is forfeited in whole or in part. Upon termination of any applicable Restriction Period (and the satisfaction or attainment of applicable Performance Measures), or upon the grant of a Bonus

11

Stock Award, in each case subject to the Company’s right to require payment of any taxes in accordance with Section 5.5, the restrictions shall be removed from the requisite number of shares of Common Stock that are held in book entry form, and all certificates evidencing ownership of the requisite number of shares of Common Stock shall be delivered to the holder of such award.

(d) Rights with Respect to Restricted Stock Awards. Unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement relating to a Restricted Stock Award, and subject to the terms and conditions of a Restricted Stock Award, the holder of such award shall have all rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, but not limited to, voting rights, the right to receive dividends and the right to participate in any capital adjustment applicable to all holders of Common Stock; provided, however, that a distribution with respect to shares of Common Stock, other than a regular cash dividend, shall be deposited with the Company and shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares of Common Stock with respect to which such distribution was made.

(e) Rights and Provisions Applicable to Restricted Stock Unit Awards. The Agreement relating to a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall specify whether the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, on a current or deferred basis, dividend equivalents, or the deemed reinvestment of, any deferred dividend equivalents, with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such award.

5.5Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any shares of Common Stock or the payment of any cash pursuant to an award made hereunder, payment by the holder of such award of any Federal, state, local or other taxes which may be required to be withheld or paid in connection with such award. Such obligation shall be satisfied either (i) by the Company by withholding whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered to a holder, having an aggregate Fair Market Value determined as of the date the obligation to withhold or pay taxes arises in connection with an award (the “ Tax Date ”), or withholding an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to a holder, in the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation or (ii) by the holder by any of the following means: (A) a cash payment to the Company in the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (B) delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) to the Company of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (C) authorizing the Company to withhold whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, or withhold an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to the holder, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (D) in the case of the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option or Non-Statutory Stock Option, a cash payment in the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom the optionee has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise or (E) any combination of (A), (B) and (C).

The provisions of this Section shall supersede the provisions of any Agreement relating to an award, including any award outstanding as of the date of this Amendment.

5.6Restrictions on Shares. Each award made hereunder shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Company determines that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock subject to such award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the exercise or settlement of such award or the delivery of shares thereunder, such award shall not be exercised

15

or settled and such shares shall not be delivered unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or other action shall have been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company may require that certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant to any award made hereunder bear a legend indicating that the sale, transfer or other disposition thereof by the holder is prohibited except in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

5.7Adjustment. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than a regular cash dividend, the number and class of securities available under this Plan, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options, SARs, Stock Awards or Performance Share Awards or a combination thereof may be awarded during any calendar year to any one person, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards in the form of Incentive Stock Options, the number and class of securities subject to each outstanding option and the purchase price per security, the terms of each outstanding SAR, the number and class of securities subject to each outstanding Stock Award, and the terms of each outstanding Performance Share shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, such adjustments to be made in the case of outstanding options and SARs without an increase in the aggregate purchase price or base price. The decision of the Committee regarding any such adjustment shall be final, binding and conclusive. If any such adjustment would result in a fractional security being (a) available under this Plan, such fractional security shall be disregarded, or (b) subject to an award under this Plan, the Company shall pay the holder of such award, in connection with the first vesting, exercise or settlement of such award, in whole or in part, occurring after such adjustment, an amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) the fraction of such security (rounded to the nearest hundredth) by (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the Fair Market Value on the vesting, exercise or settlement date over (B) the exercise or base price, if any, of such award.

Participation in the Annual Deferral Account portion of the Plan shall be limited to Key Executives. For purposes of participation as of January 1, 1998, the group of eligible Key Executives is limited to employees of the Corporation whose 1997 base pay plus 1997-paid short term bonuses from CPC International Inc. equaled at least the Base Salary Threshold as of November 15, 1997.

If first employed by the Corporation or any other Employer after January 1, 1998, a Key Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Annual Deferral Account portion of the Plan as of the first of the month following one full calendar month of employment if his or her base salary plus short-term bonus for the balance of the first calendar year of employment is expected to equal at least the annual limit (as of such date of employment) under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, subject to approval of the Vice President of Human Resources of the Corporation.

Key Executives who have never participated under the Plan but whose base pay plus short term bonus paid in any calendar year equals at least the Base Salary Threshold for such year shall be eligible to participate in the Annual Deferral Account as of the following January 1.

Key Executives who elect to participate in the Annual Deferral Account shall continue to be eligible to make deferral elections in future years, notwithstanding their base salary as of a November 15 falling below the Base Salary Threshold for Key Executives who have never participated in the Plan.

Active participation in the Cash Balance Plan Make-up Account for any calendar year shall be limited to Key Executives who make deferral elections for such year, or employees whose benefits under the Cash Balance Plan are reduced by the limits on compensation or benefits imposed by Sections 401(a)(17) or 415 of the Code.

Active participation in the Savings Plan Make-up Account for any calendar year shall be limited to Key Executives who make deferral elections for such year and whose benefits under the Savings Plan are reduced by the limits on compensation imposed by Section 401(a)(17) or Section 415 of the Code, or by a deferral election made under Section 2.2 of this Plan.

Any portion or all of any of the balances of the bookkeeping Accounts maintained on behalf of Participants pursuant to this Plan or any portion or all of any new deferrals may be “invested” in this option. Deemed balances or deferrals “invested” in this option will maintain their separate Account character with respect to distribution selections regarding the timing and form of the distribution. All distributions from this option will be in whole shares of Common Stock as determined by the whole number of Stock Units credited to the Participant at the time of distribution.

9

converted to a cash equivalent by multiplying the fractional Stock Units by the Fair Market Value on the particular distribution date and will be distributed as a cash payment.

SOUTH AFRICA

1.             Award Conditioned on South African Reserve Bank Approval.  If you are a local national employed in South Africa, the grant of the Award is conditioned upon the Company obtaining the approval for the grant of Options under the Plan from the South African Reserve Bank.

2.             Withholding Taxes.  The following provision supplements Section 5 of the Award Agreement:

By accepting the Option, you agree to notify the Employer of the amount of any gain realized upon exercise of the Option.  If you fail to advise the Employer of the gain realized upon exercise of the Option, you may be liable for a fine.  You will be responsible for paying any difference between the actual tax liability and the amount withheld.

3.             Exchange Control Obligations.  You are solely responsible for complying with applicable exchange control regulations and rulings (the “Exchange Control Regulations”) in South Africa.  As the Exchange Control Regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult your legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of Shares under the Plan to ensure compliance with current Exchange Control Regulations.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from your failure to comply with applicable laws.

SPAIN

1.             Acknowledgement of Discretionary Nature of the Plan; No Vested Rights.  In accepting the Option, you acknowledge that you consent to participation in the Plan and have received a copy of the Plan.  You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted the Options under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world.  The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on an ongoing basis.  Consequently, you understand that the Options are granted on the assumption and condition that the Options and the Shares acquired upon exercise of the Options shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.  In addition, you understand that this grant would not be made to you but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above. Thus, you acknowledge and freely accept that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, the Option shall be null and void.

You understand and agree that, as a condition of the grant of the Option, any unvested portion of the Option as of the date you cease active employment and any vested portion of the Option not exercised within the post-termination exercise period set out in the Award Agreement will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount of indemnification in the event of the termination of employment by reason of, but not limited to, (i) material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute or (ii) relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute.  You acknowledge that you have read and specifically accept the conditions referred to in the Award Agreement regarding the impact of a termination of employment on your Option.

2.             Termination for Cause.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or your Award Agreement, “Cause” shall be defined in the Plan, irrespective of whether the termination is or is not considered a fair termination (i.e., “despido procedente”) under Spanish legislation.

UNITED KINGDOM

1.             Use of Previously Owned Shares.  Notwithstanding any provision the Award Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, if you are resident in the United Kingdom, you may not use previously-owned Shares to pay the purchase price or any requisite tax withholding in connection with the Option.

2.             Income Tax and Social Insurance Contribution Withholding.  The following provision supplements Section 5 of the Award Agreement:

If payment or withholding of the income tax due in connection with the Option is not made within ninety (90) days of the event giving rise to the income tax liability or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), the amount of any uncollected income tax shall constitute a loan owed by you to the Employer, effective as of the Due Date.  You agree that the loan will bear interest at the then-current official rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”), it shall be immediately due and repayable, and the Company or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 5 of the Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), you will not be eligible for a loan from the Company to cover the income tax liability.  In the event that you are a director or executive officer and the income tax is not collected from or paid by you by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected income tax will constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) will be payable.  You will be responsible for reporting any income tax and NICs due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime.

3.Exclusion of Claim. You acknowledge and agree that you will have no entitlement to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of your employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract, insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from your ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to exercise your Option as a result of such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of your Option.  Upon the grant of your Option, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any such entitlement.

Exhibit 10.23

Ingredion Incorporated

Restricted Stock Units Award Agreement

Ingredion Incorporated (the “Company”) has granted you an award of Restricted Stock Units (the “Award”) under the Ingredion Incorporated Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  The Award represents the right to receive shares of Company Common Stock in the future.  The grant date of the Award and the number of Restricted Stock Units covered by this Award are set forth in the document you have received entitled “Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Units”.  The Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Units and these terms and conditions collectively constitute the Award Agreement for the Award.  This Award Agreement and the Plan together govern your rights under the Plan and set forth all of the conditions and limitations affecting such rights.

Capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan or in this Award Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Award Agreement and the terms of the Plan, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the Plan’s terms shall supersede and replace the conflicting terms of this Award Agreement.

Overview of Your Grant

1.General.  Except as provided below, you shall not be entitled to any privileges of ownership with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award unless and until, and only to the extent, the Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award are settled and you become a stockholder of record with respect to such shares as provided herein.  The Company agrees to reserve and keep available, either in treasury or out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, the full number of shares subject to the Award.

2.Vesting Period. The Restricted Stock Units awarded and/or credited under this Award Agreement will become fully vested on                          (the “Vesting Date”).  During the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the Vesting Date (the “Vesting Period”) the Restricted Stock Units awarded and/or credited under this Award Agreement may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, except as provided in the Plan or this Agreement.  If all of the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement and the Plan are met on the Vesting Date, subject to Section 10 of this Award Agreement, then you will be issued certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units then held by you which were issued and/or credited to you under this Award Agreement.  The issuance shall occur upon the Vesting Date or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter (but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the Vesting Date).

3.Termination of Employment: In the event that you terminate employment with the Company, its affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries for any reason, or in the event that the Company, its affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries terminates your employment with or without Cause, all of the unvested Restricted Stock Units you hold at the time your employment terminates shall be forfeited to the Company, subject to Section 3.3 of the Plan and provided, that in the event your employment with the Company is terminated due to (a) death, (b) disability or (c) retirement (i) on or after age 55 with a minimum of 10 years employment with or service to the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates or (ii) on or after age 62, a prorated portion of the Restricted Stock Units awarded and/or credited under this Award Agreement shall vest.  Such proration shall be calculated by multiplying the number of Restricted Stock Units awarded and/or credited under this Award Agreement by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months that have elapsed between the Grant Date and your termination date and the denominator of which is 36.

4.Voting Rights and Dividends.  You do not have the right to vote any shares of Common Stock or to receive dividends on them prior to the date such shares are to be issued to you pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement.  As of each date on which dividends are paid on the Common Stock, the Company shall credit to the Award additional Restricted Stock Units, the number of which shall be

Restricted Stock Units – Global

determined by multiplying the amount of such dividend per share of Common Stock by the number of shares of Common Stock then subject to the Award, and dividing the product thereof by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the applicable dividend payment date.

5.Income Tax and Social Insurance Contribution Withholding: Prior to the issuance or delivery of any shares of Common Stock, the Company or the Subsidiary or affiliate that employs you (the “Employer”) (if applicable) shall have the right to require you to pay any U.S. Federal, state, local or other taxes (including non-U.S. taxes, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding) (“Tax-Related Items”) which may be required to be withheld or paid in connection with the Restricted Stock Units.  Such obligation shall be satisfied either:

(a)         by the Company by withholding whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered to you, having an aggregate Fair Market Value determined as of the date the obligation to withhold or pay taxes arises in connection with the Restricted Stock Units (the “Tax Date”), or by the Company or Employer withholding an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to you, in the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation; or

(b)         by you by any of the following means: (A) a cash payment to the Company or the Employer in the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (B) delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) to the Company of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (C) authorizing the Company to withhold whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, or withhold an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to you, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, or (D) any combination of (A), (B) and (C).

Shares of Common Stock to be delivered or withheld may not have an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, in excess of the amount determined by applying the minimum statutory withholding rate (as determined by the Company in good faith and in its sole discretion).  Any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would be required to satisfy such an obligation shall be disregarded and you shall pay the remaining amount in cash.

Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer (if applicable) takes with respect to any or all Tax-Related Items, you acknowledge and agree that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Units or the shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting of the Units, and (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the Award (or any aspect of the Units) to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.

6.Change of Capitalization:  If, prior to the time the restrictions imposed by Section 2 of this Award Agreement on the Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder lapse, the Company shall be reorganized or consolidated or merged with another corporation, the appropriate amount of any stock, securities or other property exchangeable for shares of Common Stock pursuant to such reorganization, consolidation or merger shall be appropriately substituted for the shares of Common Stock then subject to the Restricted Stock Units issued and/or credited hereunder.

7.Continuation of Employment: This Award Agreement shall not confer upon you any right to continuation of employment by the Company, its affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries, nor shall this Award Agreement interfere in any way with the Company’s, its affiliates’, and/or its Subsidiaries’ right to terminate your employment at any time, as may be permitted under local law.

8.No Right to Future Grants; No Right of Employment; Extraordinary Item: In accepting the grant, you acknowledge that:  (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan and this Award Agreement; (b) the grant of the Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, or

benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted repeatedly in the past; (c) all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (d) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (e) the Restricted Stock Units and any Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (f) the grant of Restricted Stock Units is provided for future services to the Company and its Affiliates and is not under any circumstances to be considered compensation for past services; (g) in the event that you are an employee of an affiliate or Subsidiary of the Company, the grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore, the grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the affiliate or Subsidiary that is your employer; (h) the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; (i) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from forfeiture or termination of the Restricted Stock Units or diminution in value of the Restricted Stock Units or the shares of Common Stock and you irrevocably release the Company, its affiliates and/or its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise; and (j) in the event of involuntary termination of your employment, your right to receive Restricted Stock Units and vest in Restricted Stock Units and/or Common Stock under the Plan, if any, will terminate in accordance with the terms of the Plan and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; furthermore, your right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units after such termination of employment, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of your active employment and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law.

9.Requirements of Law: The granting of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, and the issuance or delivery of any certificate or certificates for Common Stock upon the vesting of Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to, and conditioned upon, satisfaction of all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

10.Alternative Form of Settlement in Non-U.S. Jurisdictions:  Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, if you are resident or employed outside of the United States, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Restricted Stock Units in the form of a cash payment to the extent settlement in shares of Common Stock: (i) is prohibited under local law; (ii) would require you, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or affiliates to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in your country of residence (or country of employment, if different); (iii) would result in adverse tax consequences for you or the Company; or (iv) is administratively burdensome.  Alternatively, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Restricted Stock Units in the form of shares of Common Stock but require you to immediately sell such shares (in which case, this Award Agreement shall give the Company the authority to issue sales instructions on your behalf).

11.Compliance with Local Law:  If you are resident or employed outside of the United States, as a condition to the grant of Restricted Stock Units, you agree to repatriate all payments attributable to the shares of Common Stock and/or cash acquired under the Plan in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different).  In addition, you agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries and affiliates, as may be required to allow the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries and affiliates to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different).  Finally, you agree to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with your personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different).

12.Employee Data Privacy. You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Company, its affiliates and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country.  You understand that you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting Corporate Human Resources.

You authorize the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock acquired.  You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan.

You understand that you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing Corporate Human Resources.

16.Governing Law:  All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be governed and construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the application of the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.  Any disputes regarding this Award or the Plan shall be brought only in the state or federal courts of the State of Delaware.

(the “SFA”).  The Plan has not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.  You should note that, as a result, the Award is subject to section 257 of the SFA and you will not be able to make: (a) any subsequent sale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Award in Singapore; or (b) any offer of such subsequent sale of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award in Singapore, unless such sale or offer is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division 1 Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA.

SOUTH AFRICA

1.             Award Conditioned on South African Reserve Bank Approval.  If you are a local national employed in South Africa, the grant of the Award is conditioned upon the Company obtaining the approval for the grant of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan from the South African Reserve Bank.

2.             Withholding Taxes.  The following provision supplements Section 5 of the Award Agreement:

By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, you agree to notify the Employer of the amount of any gain realized upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units.  If you fail to advise the Employer of the gain realized upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, you may be liable for a fine.  You will be responsible for paying any difference between the actual tax liability and the amount withheld.

3.             Exchange Control Obligations.  You are solely responsible for complying with applicable exchange control regulations and rulings (the “Exchange Control Regulations”) in South Africa.  As the Exchange Control Regulations change frequently and without notice, you should consult your legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of Shares under the Plan to ensure compliance with current Exchange Control Regulations.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from your failure to comply with applicable laws.

SPAIN

1.             Acknowledgement of Discretionary Nature of the Plan; No Vested Rights.  In accepting the Award, you acknowledge that you consent to participation in the Plan and have received a copy of the Plan.  You understand that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world.  The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on an ongoing basis.  Consequently, you understand that the Restricted Stock Units are granted on the assumption and condition that the Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including

severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever.  In addition, you understand that this grant would not be made to you but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above. Thus, you acknowledge and freely accept that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, the Award shall be null and void.

You understand and agree that, as a condition of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, subject to Section 3 of the Award Agreement, any unvested portion of the Restricted Stock Units as of the date you cease active employment will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying shares of Common Stock or to any amount of indemnification in the event of the termination of employment by reason of, but not limited to, (i) material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers’ Statute or (ii) relocation under Article 40 of the Workers’ Statute.  You acknowledge that you have read and specifically accept the conditions referred to in the Award Agreement regarding the impact of a termination of employment on your Restricted Stock Units.

2.             Termination for Cause.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or your Award Agreement, “Cause” shall be defined in the Plan, irrespective of whether the termination is or is not considered a fair termination (i.e., “despido procedente”) under Spanish legislation.

2.             Income Tax and Social Insurance Contribution Withholding.  The following provision supplements Section 5 of the Award Agreement:

If payment or withholding of the income tax due in connection with the Restricted Stock Units is not made within ninety (90) days of the event giving rise to the income tax liability or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), the amount of any uncollected income tax shall constitute a loan owed by you to the Employer, effective as of the Due Date.  You agree that the loan will bear interest at the then-current official rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”), it shall be immediately due and repayable, and the Company or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 5 of the Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), you will not be eligible for a loan from the Company to cover the income tax liability.  In the event that you are a director or executive officer and the income tax is not collected from or paid by you by the Due Date, the amount of any uncollected income tax will constitute a benefit to you on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) will be payable.  You will be responsible for reporting any income tax and NICs due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime.

3.Exclusion of Claim. You acknowledge and agree that you will have no entitlement to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of your employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract, insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from your ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Award as a result of such termination, or from the loss or diminution in value of the Award.  Upon the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any such entitlement.

On September 20, 2012, the Company issued 1.80 percent Senior Notes due September 25, 2017 in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million (the “Notes”).  The Notes rank equally with the Company’s other senior unsecured debt.  Interest on the Notes is required to be paid semi-annually on March 25th and September 25th, beginning in March 2013.  The Notes are subject to optional prepayment by the Company at 100 percent of the principal amount plus interest up to the prepayment date and, in certain circumstances, a make-whole amount.  The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes of approximately $297 million were used to repay $205 million of borrowings under the Company’s $1 billion revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.  The Company paid debt issuance costs of approximately $2 million relating to the Notes, which are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Notes.

Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

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 Statement of Income consisting of a $6 million fixed asset impairment charge, a $2 million charge to reduce certain working capital balances to net realizable 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.  In the third quarter of 2012, the Company recorded $1 million of additional charges related to this restructuring.  The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $9 million in additional charges in the fourth quarter of 2012 associated with this restructuring, primarily due to the realization of the cumulative translation adjustment associated with the Kenyan operations.  In the third quarter of 2012, the Company was approached by certain third parties interested in purchasing the Kenyan assets.  If the Company is unsuccessful in its efforts to sell these assets, it anticipates incurring additional charges of up to $3 million to dismantle the factory in the first half of 2013.

As part of the Company’s ongoing strategic optimization, in the third quarter of 2012, the Company decided to exit its investment in Shouguang Golden Far East Modified Starch Co., Ltd (“GFEMS”), a non wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary in China.  In conjunction with that decision, the Company recorded a $4 million impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of GFEMS to its estimated net realizable value.  The Company also recorded a $1 million charge for impaired assets in Colombia in the third quarter of 2012.

Additionally, as part of a manufacturing optimization program developed in conjunction with the acquisition of National Starch to improve profitability, in the second quarter of 2011 the Company committed to a plan that will optimize its production capabilities at certain of its North American facilities.  The plan was completed in October 2012.  As a result, the Company recorded restructuring charges to write-off certain equipment by the plan completion date.  For the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, the Company recorded charges of $4 million and $11 million, respectively, of which $3 million and $10 million represent accelerated depreciation on the equipment.  The equipment has been completely written off at September 30, 2012.

2.New Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  The objective of this Update is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting with respect to comprehensive income.  This Update requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  Additionally, this Update requires an entity to present, on the face of the financial statements, reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented.  In December 2011, the FASB deferred the effective date for those changes required in this Update relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments.  Except for the presentation of reclassification adjustments, this Update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company has changed its presentation of Comprehensive Income to immediately follow the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.  The implementation of the guidance contained in this Update did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  This Update requires an entity to disclose both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement.  The guidance in this Update is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.  We are assessing the requirements of this Update and expect to comply with the guidance it contains in the first quarter of 2013.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.  The objective of this Update is to simplify how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment and improve the consistency of impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories.   This Update provides an entity with the option to assess qualitative factors in determining whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment testing.  After assessing the qualitative factors, if an entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount then it would not be required to compute the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset.  In the event the qualitative assessment leads an entity to conclude otherwise then the entity would be required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with ASC subtopic 350-30.  The guidance in this Update is effective for the Company for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company expects to early adopt the provisions of this Update in the fourth quarter of 2012.  The implementation of the guidance contained in this Update is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 from the date of the grant.  Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis for all awards.

The Company granted non-qualified options to purchase 460 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 438 thousand shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The fair value of each option grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

	For the Nine Months Ended  September 30,
	2012		2011
Expected life (in years)	5.8		5.8
Risk-free interest rate	1.07	%	2.76	%
Expected volatility	33.33	%	32.71	%
Expected dividend yield	1.18	%	1.17	%

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 time of the grant for periods 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.

Stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was as follows:

(dollars and options in thousands,  except per share amounts)	Number of  Options		Weighted  Average  Exercise  Price		Average  Remaining  Contractual  Term (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic  Value

Exercisable at September 30, 2012	2,815		29.65		5.07	$	71,804

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, cash received from the exercise of stock options was $18 million and the excess tax benefit realized from the exercise of stock options was $1 million.  As of September 30, 2012, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options approximated $9 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average period of approximately 1.2 years.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Units of Common Stock:

The Company has granted shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock 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 fair value of the restricted stock and restricted units is determined based upon the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant.  Expense recognized for restricted shares and restricted units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 aggregated $2 million and $5 million, respectively, as compared to $1 million and $3 million in the comparable prior year periods.

The following table summarizes restricted share and restricted stock unit activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

Financial Instruments, Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Financial Instruments, Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Financial Instruments, Derivatives and Hedging Activities

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 over-the-counter derivatives with investment grade counterparties.  Derivative financial instruments currently used by the Company consist of commodity futures, options and swap contracts, forward currency contracts 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 volatility resulting from 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 is used 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 September 30, 2012, the Company’s AOCI account included $56 million of gains, net of tax of $32 million, related to its commodity hedging derivative instruments.

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 Treasury Lock agreements outstanding at September 30, 2012.

On March 25, 2011, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the interest rate on the Company’s 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 (that is, 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 currently in earnings.  The fair value of these interest rate swap agreements approximated $24 million at September 30, 2012 and is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within non-current assets, with an offsetting amount recorded in long-term debt to adjust the carrying amount of the hedged debt obligation.

At September 30, 2012, the Company’s AOCI account included $11 million of losses (net of tax of $7 million) related to settled Treasury Lock agreements.  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 (USD) 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.  As of September 30, 2012, the Company had $147 million of net notional foreign currency forward contracts that hedged net asset transactional exposures.  The fair value of these derivative instruments was approximately $1 million at September 30, 2012.

The Company also uses derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges relating to certain US dollar obligations of a foreign subsidiary.  At September 30, 2012, the Company’s AOCI account included gains of $1 million, net of tax, related to its currency-hedging derivative instruments.

The fair value and balance sheet location of the Company’s derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges are presented below:

At September 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding futures and option contracts that hedged approximately 76 million bushels of forecasted corn and 14 million pounds of forecasted soy bean oil purchases.  Also at September 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding swap and option contracts that hedged approximately 16 million mmbtu’s of forecasted natural gas purchases.

At September 30, 2012, the Company’s AOCI account included approximately $59 million of gains on commodity hedging contracts, net of income taxes, which are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months.  The Company expects the gains to be offset by changes in the underlying commodities cost.  Additionally at September 30, 2012, the Company’s AOCI account included approximately $2 million of losses on Treasury Lock agreements (net of income taxes) and an after-tax gain of $1 million related to currency hedges, which are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months.

Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of 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 September 30, 2012, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $1.73 billion and $1.92 billion, respectively.

Mexican tax on Beverages Sweetened with HFCS

Mexican tax on Beverages Sweetened with HFCS

Mexican tax on Beverages Sweetened with HFCS

12.Mexican tax on Beverages Sweetened with HFCS

On January 1, 2002, a discriminatory tax on beverages sweetened with high fructose corn syrup (“HFCS”) approved by the Mexican Congress late in 2001, became effective.  In response to the enactment of the tax, which at the time effectively ended the use of HFCS for beverages in Mexico, the Company ceased production of HFCS 55 at its San Juan del Rio plant, one of its three plants in Mexico.  Over time, the Company resumed production and sales of HFCS and by 2006 had returned to levels attained prior to the imposition of the tax as a result of certain customers having obtained court rulings exempting them from paying the tax.  The Mexican Congress repealed this tax effective January 1, 2007.

On October 21, 2003, the Company submitted, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Mexican affiliate, CPIngredientes, S.A. de C.V. (previously known as Compania Proveedora de Ingredientes), a Request for Institution of Arbitration Proceedings Submitted Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) (the “Request”). The Request was submitted to the Additional Office of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes and was brought against the United Mexican States.  In the Request, the Company asserted that the imposition by Mexico of a discriminatory tax on beverages containing HFCS in force from 2002 through 2006 breached various obligations of Mexico under the investment protection provisions of NAFTA.  The case was bifurcated into two phases, liability and damages, and a hearing on liability was held before a Tribunal in July 2006.  In a Decision dated January 15, 2008, the Tribunal unanimously held that Mexico had violated NAFTA Article 1102, National Treatment, by treating beverages sweetened with HFCS produced by foreign companies differently than those sweetened with domestic sugar.  In July 2008, a hearing regarding the quantum of damages was held before the same Tribunal.  The Company sought damages and pre- and post-judgment interest totaling $288 million through December 31, 2008.

In an award rendered August 18, 2009, the Tribunal awarded damages to CPIngredientes in the amount of $58.4 million, as a result of the tax and certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred by CPIngredientes, together with accrued interest.  On October 1, 2009, the Company submitted to the Tribunal a request for correction of this award to avoid effective double taxation on the amount of the award in Mexico.

On March 26, 2010, the Tribunal issued a correction of its August 18, 2009 damages award.  While the amount of damages had not changed, the decision made the damages payable to Ingredion Incorporated (formerly Corn Products International, Inc.) instead of CPIngredientes.

On January 24 and 25, 2011, the Company received cash payments totaling $58.4 million from the Government of the United Mexican States pursuant to the corrected award.  Mexico made these payments pursuant to an agreement with Ingredion Incorporated that provides for terminating pending post-award litigation and waiving post-award interest.  The $58.4 million award is included in other income in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

11.Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2012 was 25.5 percent compared to 31.0 percent a year ago.  The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2012 was 25.5 percent compared to 27.0 percent a year ago.

In the third quarter of 2012, the Company recognized approximately $4 million of previously unrecognized tax benefits as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations.  The Company also took actions related to the previously announced Kenya restructuring that produced additional tax benefits of approximately $3 million in the quarter.  Additionally, the Company recorded a $4 million impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of GFEMS to its estimated fair value, which is not expected to produce a realizable tax benefit.

The nine month results also include the second quarter tax benefits of approximately $13 million related to the 2012 reversal of a valuation allowance recorded in 2009 against the Company’s net deferred tax assets in Korea and $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 three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012 would have been approximately 29 percent and 31 percent, respectively.  The Company’s effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2011 was favorably impacted by the recognition of the $58.4 million nontaxable NAFTA settlement and would have otherwise would have been approximately 31 percent.
