(1)As announced on August 5, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a repurchase plan of up to $500 million of common stock. The program began on October 1, 2025 and does not have a specified term or termination date. Subject to market conditions, we expect to repurchase all shares under this authorization, in open market or privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, and in block trades, or a combination of the foregoing. On August 4, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized an enhanced share repurchase authorization with a total value of $2.5 billion, including approximately $400 million remaining on its prior authorization. Under the program, the Board of Directors also authorized an accelerated share repurchase of $500 million, which the Company expects to execute in the second half of 2026. The remaining $2.0 billion share repurchase is expected to be executed following the closing of the Food Ingredients disposal group divestiture, with an expected completion of the program by the end of 2027. The Board will review the share repurchase program periodically and may authorize adjustments of its term and size.
