For purposes of this report, unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to the "Company," "Ingredion," "we," "us," and "our" shall mean Ingredion Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries.

**PART I.**

**ITEM 1. BUSINESS**

**Our Company**

Ingredion is a leading global ingredients solutions provider that transforms corn, tapioca, potatoes, stevia, grains, fruits, gums and vegetables into value-added ingredients and biomaterials for the food, beverage, brewing and other industries.

Our Purpose is to bring the potential of people, nature and technology together to make life better. We develop, produce and sell a variety of food and beverage ingredients, primarily starches and sweeteners, for a wide range of industries, and we manage our operations geographically on a regional basis, with our businesses and investments classified into the following segments:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• North America – U.S., Mexico and Canada

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• South America – Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Asia-Pacific – South Korea, Thailand, China, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, India and Vietnam

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") – Pakistan, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom and South Africa

Our product lines include starches and sweeteners, animal feed products and edible corn oil. Our starch-based products include both food-grade and industrial starches, as well as biomaterials. Our sweetener products include glucose syrups, high maltose syrups, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, dextrose, polyols, maltodextrins, and glucose and syrup solids. Our products are derived primarily from the processing of corn and other starch-based materials, such as tapioca, potato and rice.

**Geographic Scope and Operations**

We utilize our global network of 47 manufacturing facilities and joint venture partnerships to support key global product lines. We have focused our recent investments on expanding our stevia sweetener and plant-based protein product lines, including pulse-based concentrates, flours and isolates. Our manufacturing process is based on a capital-intensive, two-step process that involves the wet-milling and processing of starch-based materials, primarily corn. During the front-end process, the starch-based materials are steeped in a water-based solution and separated into starch and co-products such as protein, fiber and germ used to produce corn oil. The starch is then either dried for sale or further processed to make starches, sweeteners and other ingredients that serve the particular needs of various industries.

Our North America region includes 22 manufacturing facilities that produce a wide range of starches, sweeteners, gum acacia, peas, and fruit and vegetable concentrates.

Our South America region includes seven manufacturing facilities that produce regular, modified, waxy tapioca starches, high fructose and high maltose syrups and syrup solids, dextrins and maltodextrins, dextrose, specialty starches, caramel color and sorbitol. We also own 49 percent of Ingrear Holding S.A., which operates five manufacturing facilities in Argentina to sell value-added ingredients to customers in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other industries in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay (the "Argentina joint venture"). We completed the transaction with Grupo Arcor, an Argentine food company, on August 2, 2021, to combine facilities into the Argentina joint venture, which is managed by a jointly appointed team of executives.

Our Asia-Pacific region manufactures corn-based products in South Korea, China and Thailand, tapioca- and rice-based products in Thailand, and stevia sweetener products in Malaysia and China. We supply tapioca, rice and stevia sweetener products not only to our Asia-Pacific region, but also to the rest of our global network. The region's operations

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

include twelve manufacturing facilities that produce modified, specialty and regular waxy tapioca and rice starches, dextrins, glucose, high maltose syrup, stevia sweeteners, dextrose, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color and pharmaceutical-grade polyols.

We currently own 87 percent of PureCircle Limited ("PureCircle"), one of the leading producers and innovators of stevia sweeteners and flavors for the food and beverage industry. During 2022, we purchased $46 million of outstanding PureCircle minority shares to increase our ownership from the 75 percent controlling interest of shares we acquired on July 1, 2020. Our stevia investments also include certain exclusive commercialization rights to rebaudioside M by fermentation product developed by Amyris, Inc. ("Amyris"), exclusive licensing of the product's manufacturing technology, and a 31 percent ownership stake in a joint venture for the product (the "Amyris joint venture"), which we entered with Amyris on June 1, 2021.

We are continuing to make strategic investments in Asia. On August 1, 2022, we acquired Amishi Drugs and Chemicals Private Limited ("Amishi"), which is an Indian manufacturer of chemically modified starch-based pharmaceutical excipients, for $7 million. On December 1, 2022, we acquired a 65 percent controlling interest in Mannitab Pharma Specialties Private Limited ("Mannitab"), which is an Indian manufacturer of spray dried mannitol and fine grade mannitol, for $22 million, and we agreed to acquire the remaining shares of Mannitab over the next three years.

Our EMEA region includes six manufacturing facilities that produce modified and specialty starches, glucose and dextrose in Pakistan, Germany and the United Kingdom. On April 1, 2021, we acquired KaTech, a German-based provider of advanced texture and stabilization solutions to the food and beverage industry.

We utilize a network of tolling manufacturers in various regions in the production cycle of certain specialty starches. In general, these tolling manufacturers produce certain basic starches for us and we in turn complete the manufacturing process of starches through our finishing channels.

We believe our approach to production and service, which focuses on local management and production improvements of our worldwide operations, provides us with a unique understanding of the cultures and product requirements in each of the geographic markets in which we operate. This allows us to bring added value to our customers through tailored, innovative solutions. We believe that our centralized production planning, distribution and financial functions similarly give us the ability to serve global customers, leverage digital solutions, ration production capacity, identify synergies, and maximize the benefits of our global presence.

**Products**

Our portfolio of products is generally classified into the following categories: Starch Products, Sweetener Products, and Co-products and others. Within these categories, a portion of our products are considered specialty ingredients and we refer to the remainder of our products as core ingredients.

*Starch products:* Our starch products represented approximately 46 percent, 45 percent and 46 percent of our net sales for each of 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Starches are an important component in a wide range of processed foods, where they are used for adhesion, clouding, dusting, expansion, fat replacement, freshness, gelling, glazing, mouthfeel, stabilization and texture. Cornstarch is sold to cornstarch packers for sale to consumers. Starches are also used in paper production to create a smooth surface for printed communications and to improve strength in recycled papers. Specialty paper starches are used for enhanced drainage, fiber retention, oil and grease resistance, improved printability and biochemical oxygen demand control. The textile industry uses starches and specialty starches for sizing (abrasion resistance) to provide size and finishes for manufactured products. Industrial starches are used in the production of construction materials, textiles, adhesives, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, as well as in mining and water filtration. Specialty industrial starches are used for biomaterial applications including biodegradable plastics, fabric softeners and detergents, hair and skin care applications, dusting powders for surgical gloves, and in the production of glass fiber and insulation.

*Sweetener products:* Our sweetener products represented approximately 33 percent, 33 percent and 35 percent of our net sales for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Sweeteners include products such as glucose syrups, high maltose syrup, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, polyols, maltodextrin, glucose syrup solids and non-GMO (genetically modified organism) syrups. Our sweeteners are used in a wide variety of food and beverage products, such as baked goods, snack foods, canned fruits, condiments, candy and other sweets, dairy products, ice cream, jams and jellies, prepared mixes, table syrups, soft drinks, fruit-flavored drinks and many others. These sweetener products also offer functionality in addition to

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

sweetness, such as texture, body and viscosity; help control freezing points, crystallization and browning; add humectancy (ability to add moisture) and flavor; and act as binders. Our high maltose syrups speed the fermentation process, allowing brewers to increase capacity without adding capital. Dextrose has a wide range of applications in the food and confection industries, in solutions for intravenous ("IV") and other pharmaceutical applications, and in numerous industrial applications like wallboard, biodegradable surface agents and moisture control agents. Our specialty sweeteners provide affordable and natural, reduced calorie and sugar-free solutions for our customers.

*Co-products and others:* Co-products and others accounted for approximately 21 percent, 22 percent and 19 percent of our net sales for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Refined corn oil (from germ) is sold to packers of cooking oil and to producers of margarine, salad dressings, shortening, mayonnaise and other foods. Corn gluten feed is sold as animal feed. Corn gluten meal is sold as high-protein feed for chickens, pet food and aquaculture. Our other products include fruit and vegetable products, such as concentrates, purees and essences, as well as pulse proteins and hydrocolloids systems and blends.

*Specialty ingredients within the product portfolio*: Within our three product portfolios, we consider certain of our products to be specialty ingredients. Specialty ingredients accounted for approximately 34 percent of our net sales for 2022, up from 33 percent and 32 percent for 2021 and 2020, respectively. These ingredients deliver more functionality than our other products and add additional customer value. Our specialty ingredients are aligned with growing market and consumer trends such as health and wellness, clean-label, simple ingredients, affordability, indulgence and sustainability.

We drive growth for our specialty ingredients portfolio by leveraging the following growth platforms:

<u>Starch-based Texturizers</u>: These ingredients support the structure and texture behind great eating experiences. Products are made from corn, potato, rice and tapioca, and offer a multitude of textures, functionalities and stability during processing and shelf life to a broad range of food products.

<u>Clean and Simple Ingredients</u>: These functional ingredients address the clean label trend for finished products made with shorter lists of food ingredients that have achieved broad consumer acceptance. From food and beverages to pet food and personal care, consumers are looking for clean, simple, natural and authentic products that they can identify and trust. The broad portfolio of clean label ingredients includes starches, sweeteners, flours, nutrition ingredients, emulsifiers and fruit and vegetable concentrates.

<u>Sugar Reduction and Specialty Sweeteners</u>: These solutions provide sweetness or functional replacement for sugar in reduced-calorie and sugar-free foods and beverages without sacrificing quality and consistency. These specialty ingredients are made from a variety of GMO and non-GMO raw material bases and include such ingredients as stevia sweeteners, polyols, dextrose and allulose, a rare sugar.

<u>Food Systems</u>: These systems deliver ingredient combinations that simplify a customer's production cycle. A food system can address an array of functional challenges including mouthfeel/texture for dairy and alternative dairy products, thickening of sauces, stabilization in high-protein drinks, gelling for fruit fillings, film formers for candy shells, foaming and frothing, adding soluble fibers and nutritional ingredients, adhering particles to breads, and emulsification of flavors.

<u>Plant-based Proteins</u>: These specialty pulse-based protein ingredients bring solutions made from fava beans and peas. They add protein, dietary fiber, micronutrients and texture to food and beverages.

*Core ingredients within the product portfolio*: We refer to the remainder of our starch products, sweetener products and co-products that do not fall into specialty ingredients, as defined above, as core ingredients. Core ingredients accounted for approximately 66 percent of our net sales for 2022, down from 67 percent in 2021 and 68 percent in 2020.

**Competition**

The starch and sweetener industry is highly competitive. Competition within our markets is largely based on product functionality, price and quality. The U.S. is a highly competitive market with operations by other starch processors, several of which are divisions of larger enterprises. Some of these competitors, unlike us, have vertically integrated their starch processing and other operations. Competitors include Archer-Daniels-Midland Company, Cargill, Inc., Tate & Lyle PLC, Primient and several others. Our operations in Mexico and Canada face competition from U.S. imports and local producers including ALMEX, a Mexican joint venture between ADM and Primient. In South America, Cargill conducts starch processing operations in Brazil and Argentina. We also face competition from Roquette Frères S.A., primarily in our EMEA, North America and Asia-Pacific regions. Many smaller local corn and tapioca processors also operate in some of our markets.

Several of our products also compete with products made from raw materials other than corn. High fructose corn syrup and monohydrate dextrose compete principally with cane and beet sugar products. Co-products such as corn oil and gluten meal compete with products of the corn dry milling industry and with soybean oil, soybean meal and other products. Fluctuations in prices of these competing products may affect prices of, and profits derived from, our products.

**Customers**

We supply a broad range of customers in over 60 industries worldwide. The following table shows the approximate portion of total net sales by industry for each of the industries we served in 2022:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|

---

No customer accounted for 10 percent or more of our net sales in 2022, 2021 or 2020.

**Raw Materials**

Corn (primarily yellow dent) is the primary basic raw material we use to produce starches and sweeteners. The price of corn, which is determined by reference to prices on the Chicago Board of Trade, fluctuates as a result of various factors, including farmers' planting decisions; climate; domestic and foreign government policies (including those related to the production of ethanol); livestock feeding; shortages or surpluses of world grain supplies; and trade agreements. We use chips and slices from potato processors as the primary raw material to manufacture potato-based starches. We also use tapioca, gum, rice, stevia, peas and sugar as raw materials. The supply of raw materials has been, and is anticipated to continue to be, adequate for our needs.

Corn is also grown in other areas of the world, including China, Brazil, Europe, Argentina, Mexico, South Africa, Canada and Pakistan. Our subsidiaries outside the U.S. utilize both local supplies of corn and corn imported from other geographic areas, including the U.S. The supply of corn for these subsidiaries is generally expected to be adequate for our needs. Corn prices for our non-U.S. subsidiaries generally fluctuate as a result of the same factors that affect U.S. corn prices.

We also utilize specialty grains such as waxy and high amylose corn, as well as proprietary seed varietals in our operations. In general, the planning cycle for our specialty grain sourcing begins three years in advance of the anticipated delivery of the specialty corn, since the necessary seed must be grown in the season before we contract to buy the grain. To secure these specialty grains at the time of our anticipated needs, we contract with certain farmers to grow the specialty

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

corn approximately two years in advance of delivery. These specialty grains have a higher cost due to their more limited supply and require longer planning cycles to mitigate the risk of supply shortages.

Due to the competitive nature of our industry and the availability of substitute products not produced from corn, such as sugar from cane or beets, end-product prices may not necessarily fluctuate in a timely manner that correlates to raw material costs of corn.

We use derivative hedging contracts to protect the gross margin of our firm-priced business, primarily in North America, and we follow a policy of hedging our exposure to commodity price fluctuations with commodities futures and options contracts, primarily for certain North American corn purchases. Other operations may be hedged at any given time based on management's judgment as to the need to fix the costs of our raw materials to protect our profitability. Outside North America, we generally enter short-term commercial sales contracts and adjust our selling prices based upon the local raw material costs. See Item 7A. *Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk* for additional information.

Other raw materials used in our manufacturing processes include chips and slices from potato processors as the primary raw material to manufacture potato-based starches. We also use tapioca, particularly in certain of our production processes in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition to corn, potatoes, and tapioca, we use pulses, gums, rice, stevia, yellow peas and sugar as raw materials, among others.

**Research and Development**

Our global network of approximately 500 scientists creates innovative food solutions in 32 Ingredion Idea Labs® with headquarters in Bridgewater, New Jersey. Activities at Bridgewater include plant science and physical, chemical and biochemical modifications to food formulations, food sensory evaluation, and development of non-food applications such as starch-based biopolymers. In addition, we have product application technology centers that direct our product development teams worldwide to create product application solutions to better serve the ingredient needs of our customers. Product development activity is focused on developing product applications for identified customer and market needs. Through this approach, we have developed value-added products for use by customers in various industries. We usually collaborate with customers to develop the desired product application either in the customers' facilities, our technical service laboratories, or on a contract basis.

Our research and development ("R&D") is supported by our marketing, product technology, and technology support staff, as well as technical support services, to assist our customers with application development and co-creation. We invest in R&D and digital transformation solutions to support new product development and innovation, to enable greater value delivery to our customers, to reduce waste and lower our costs and to drive operational excellence.

**Sales and Distribution**

Our salaried sales personnel, who are generally dedicated to customers in a geographic region, sell our products directly to manufacturers and distributors. In addition, we have staff that provides technical support to our sales personnel on an industry basis. We generally contract with trucking companies to deliver our bulk products to customer destinations. In North America, we generally use trucks to ship to nearby customers. For those customers located considerable distances from our manufacturing facilities, we primarily use either rail or a combination of railcars and trucks to deliver our products.

**Patents and Trademarks** 

As of December 31, 2022, we owned more than 1,800 patents and patents pending, which relate to a variety of products and processes, as well as a number of established trademarks under which we market our products. We also have the right to use other patents and trademarks pursuant to patent and trademark licenses. We do not believe that any individual patent or trademark is material to our business.

**Human Capital** 

We believe the strength of our workforce is one of the significant contributors to our success as a global company. Attracting, developing and retaining global talent with the right skills to drive our business is central to our values and long-term growth strategy. All our employees contribute to our success and help us drive financial performance.

***Workplace Safety***

The overall well-being and safety of our employees and customers is one of our top priorities. We continue our strong focus on maintaining an injury-free workplace and invest in training, workplace resources and continuous improvement methodologies to improve safety results and ensure responsible management of all our facilities, particularly in our manufacturing plants, which continue to represent the greatest safety and health risks. A workplace safety goal represents a part of each employee's personal performance objectives each year as we strive to achieve an injury-free work environment.

***Culture and Employee Engagement***

We conduct confidential engagement surveys of our global workforce, and executive officers and leaders throughout the organization review aggregate survey results and create action plans at global, regional, functional and managerial levels. Furthermore, we employ a flexible approach for our office-based employees on how and where we work. We focus on agile ways of working that enable colleagues to work remotely when appropriate and organize our office spaces to foster connection and collaboration.

***Diversity, Equity & Inclusion ("DEI")***

Our Executive Leadership Team and Board of Directors lead our DEI commitment and drive it throughout the organization. Our recently refreshed DEI strategy is aligned with our Purpose. Our program structure includes Regional Diversity Councils and a Global DEI Council, which are collectively composed of regional and functional business leaders, human resource partners and select Business Resource Group ("BRG") leaders. We include specific DEI metrics as an element of personal objectives within our annual incentive plan for our CEO and other senior leaders.

We leverage the diverse experience and skills of our BRGs to help inform our business strategy. Our nine BRGs, which we have implemented across our global operations, play a role in connecting employees across regions, by providing colleagues with opportunities to enhance cultural awareness, enable collaboration, and inform our strategies for a broad consumer marketplace.

We participate in the Paradigm for Parity® coalition, pledging our goal to achieve gender parity at manager level and above by 2030. As of December 31, 2022, employees who self-identify as women accounted for more than 25 percent of both our Executive Leadership Team and independent members of our Board of Directors. Additionally, the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index ("GEI"), a modified market capitalization-weighted index that aims to track the performance of public companies committed to transparency in gender-data reporting, has included Ingredion in the GEI for six years. We use the GEI as a benchmark to measure our performance and evaluate opportunities for improvement.

**Government Regulation**

As a manufacturer and marketer of food items and items for use in the pharmaceutical industry, our operations and the use of many of our products are subject to federal, state, foreign and local statutes and regulations, including the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Act. We and many of our products are also subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other government agencies. Among other things,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

applicable regulations of these agencies prescribe requirements and establish standards for product quality, purity and labeling. Failure to comply with one or more regulatory requirements can result in a variety of sanctions, including monetary fines. No such fines of a material nature were imposed on us in 2022. We may also be required to comply with federal, state, foreign and local laws regulating food handling and storage. We believe these laws and regulations have not negatively affected our competitive position.

Our operations are also subject to federal, state, foreign and local laws and regulations for environmental matters, including air and water quality, as well as other regulations intended to protect public health and the environment. We operate industrial boilers that fire natural gas, coal, or biofuels to operate our manufacturing facilities. Those boilers, along with product dryers, are our primary source of greenhouse gas emissions. In January 2023, the European Union ("EU") finalized the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, which will introduce more detailed sustainability reporting requirements for EU companies, including companies such as Ingredion, that meet certain EU net sales thresholds.

During 2022, we spent approximately $22 million for environmental control and wastewater treatment equipment to be incorporated into existing facilities and in planned construction projects. We currently anticipate that we will invest approximately $27 million for environmental facilities and programs in 2023.

Based on current laws and regulations and their enforcement and interpretation, we do not expect that the costs of future environmental compliance will be a material expense, although there can be no assurance that we will remain in compliance or that the costs of remaining in compliance will not have a material adverse effect on our future financial condition and results of operations.

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS**

Our business and assets are subject to varying degrees of risk and uncertainty. The following are factors that we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. Additional risks that are currently unknown to us or that we currently view as immaterial may also impair our business or adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws that are contained in this annual report on Form 10-K or in our other SEC filings or public statements may be subject to the risks described below as well as other risks and uncertainties. See the cautionary notice regarding forward-looking statements in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

**<u>Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry</u>**

**Our business may be adversely affected by impacts on the availability and prices of raw materials and energy supplies, volatility in foreign exchange and interest rates, and other effects of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.**

Our business may be adversely affected by the effects of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Although our operations in Russia and Ukraine accounted for less than one half of one percent of our net sales in fiscal year 2022, the region is a source of raw material and energy supply for both us and certain companies whose products we distribute. Economic sanctions and export control measures imposed on Russia and designated Russian enterprises, Belarus and certain regions of Ukraine have resulted in increased volatility in the availability and prices of such raw materials and energy supplies. In addition, sanctions and macroeconomic effects of the conflict have contributed to greater volatility in foreign exchange and interest rates that affect our financial results. Developments relating to the conflict might result in a continuation of these impacts and in other impacts that could adversely affect our business or results of operations.

**Changes in consumer preferences and perceptions may lessen the demand for our products, which could reduce our sales and profitability and harm our business.**

Food products are often affected by changes in consumer tastes, national, regional and local economic conditions and demographic trends. For instance, changes in prevailing health or dietary preferences causing consumers to avoid food products containing sweetener products, including high fructose corn syrup, in favor of foods that are perceived as being healthier, could materially reduce our sales and profitability. Increasing concern among consumers, public health professionals and government agencies about the potential health concerns associated with obesity and inactive lifestyles (reflected, for instance, in taxes on certain beverages designed to combat obesity, which have been imposed recently in North America) represent a significant cost to some of our customers, including those engaged in the food and soft drink industries, and could materially affect demand for our products.

**Current economic conditions may adversely impact demand for our products, reduce access to credit, affect investment returns and cause our customers and others with whom we do business to suffer financial hardship, all of which could adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.**

General business and economic conditions that could affect us include barriers to trade (including as a result of tariffs, duties and border taxes, among other factors), the strength of the economies in which we operate, unemployment, inflation and fluctuations in debt markets. While currently these conditions have not impaired our ability to access credit markets and finance our operations, we are subject to the risk of a further deterioration in the financial markets.

These economic developments could have a number of other effects on our business, including reduced consumer demand for products, pressure to extend our customers' payment terms, insolvency of our customers resulting in increased

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

provisions for credit losses, decreased customer demand, including order delays or cancellations and counterparty failures negatively impacting our operations.

In connection with our defined benefit pension plans, adverse changes in investment returns earned on pension assets and discount rates used to calculate pension and related liabilities or changes in required pension funding levels may have an unfavorable impact on future pension expenses and cash flows.

Volatile worldwide economic conditions and market instability may make it difficult for us, our customers and our suppliers to accurately forecast future product demand trends, which could cause us to produce products in excess of demand and increase our inventory carrying costs. Alternatively, this forecasting difficulty may cause a shortage of products that could affect our ability to satisfy the demand for our products.

**Our reliance on certain industries for a significant portion of our sales could have a material adverse effect on our business.**

Of our 2022 net sales, approximately 54 percent were generated by sales to the food industry, 11 percent by sales to the animal nutrition industry, 8 percent by sales to the beverage industry, and 8 percent by sales to the brewing industry. If our customers in any of these industries were to substantially decrease their purchases, our business might be materially adversely affected.

**The coronavirus 19 disease ("COVID 19") pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business.**

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had, and could continue to have, negative impacts on our business, including causing significant volatility in the commodity and currency markets, changes in consumer demand, behavior or preference, disruptions in our supply chain and manufacturing capacity, limitations on our employees' ability to work and changes in the economic or political conditions in markets we serve which could constrain or halt shipments to customers. These risks individually and in the aggregate could have a material effect on our operating results, financial condition, cash flows and prospects.

**The uncertainty of acceptance of products developed through biotechnology could affect our profitability.**

The commercial success of agricultural products developed through biotechnology, including genetically modified corn, depends in part on public acceptance of their development, cultivation, distribution and consumption. Public attitudes can be influenced by claims that genetically modified products are unsafe for consumption or that they pose unknown risks to the environment, even if such claims are not based on scientific studies. These public attitudes can influence regulatory and legislative decisions about biotechnology. The sale of our products, which may contain genetically modified corn, could be delayed or impeded because of adverse public perception regarding the safety of our products and the potential effects of these products on human health, the environment and animals.

**Our future growth could be negatively impacted if we fail to continue introducing innovative new products and services.**

A significant portion of our growth depends on innovation in products, processes and services. Our R&D efforts may not result in new products and services at a rate or of a quality sufficient to gain market acceptance.

**It may be difficult to preserve operating margins and maintain market share in the highly competitive environment in which we operate.** 

We operate in a highly competitive environment. Competition in markets in which we compete is largely based on price, quality and product availability. Many of our products compete with virtually identical or similar products manufactured by other companies in the starch and sweetener industry. In the U.S., our competitors include divisions of larger enterprises that have greater financial resources than we do. Some of these competitors, unlike us, have vertically integrated their corn refining and other operations. Many of our products also compete with products made from raw materials other than corn, including cane and beet sugar. Fluctuation in prices of these competing products may affect prices of, and profits derived from, our products. In addition, government programs supporting sugar prices indirectly impact the price of corn sweeteners, especially high fructose corn syrup. Furthermore, co-products such as corn oil and gluten meal compete with products of the corn dry milling industry and with soybean oil, soybean meal and other products, the price of some of which may be affected by government programs such as tariffs or quotas.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

**Due to market volatility, we may be unable to pass potential increases in the cost of corn and other raw materials on to customers through product price increases, to purchase quantities of corn and other raw materials at prices sufficient to sustain or increase our profitability, or to supply product quantities and meet shipment delivery requirements that our customers demand.**

The price and availability of corn and other raw materials are subject to volatility as a result of economic and industry conditions, including supply and demand factors such as supply chain disruptions, crop disease and severe weather conditions that include drought, floods, frost and ocean currents. These conditions are difficult to anticipate, are beyond our control and could adversely impact our profitability by affecting the prices we pay for raw materials.

**Inputs to our procurement, production processes and delivery channels, such as raw material, energy, and freight and logistics, may experience price fluctuations, supply chain interruptions, and shortages that could adversely affect our results of operations.**

Our finished products are made primarily from corn. Purchased corn and other raw material costs generally account for between 40 percent and 60 percent of our finished product costs. Some of our products are based upon specific varieties of corn that are produced in significantly smaller volumes than yellow dent corn. These specialty grains cost more due to their more limited availability and require planning cycles of up to three years to ensure we receive an adequate supply. We also manufacture certain starch-based products from potatoes. Our current potato starch requirements constitute a material portion of the total available North American supply. It is possible that, in the long term, continued growth in demand for potato starch-based ingredients and new product development could result in capacity constraints. Also, we utilize tapioca in the manufacturing of starch products primarily in Thailand, as well as pulses, gum, rice, stevia and other raw materials around the world. A significant supply disruption or sharp increase in prices of any of these raw materials that we are unable to recover through pricing increases to our customers could have an adverse impact on our growth and profitability, especially if such an event disproportionately affects us as compared to our competitors.

Our business could be adversely affected by fluctuations in our energy costs, which represented approximately 7 percent of our finished product costs in 2022. We use energy primarily to create steam required for our production processes and to dry products. We consume natural gas, electricity, coal, fuel oil, wood and other biomass sources to generate energy.

Because we ship products worldwide, our business could be adversely affected by fluctuations in freight and logistics costs, and disruptions in supply channels between parties and locations that include our suppliers, production and storage facilities, tolling and packaging partners, distributors and customers. Risks to our business include impacts from labor strikes or weather-related events that affect transportation by rail, air, shipping or mobile transport.

The market prices for our raw materials, supply chain freight and logistics, and energy may vary considerably depending on supply and demand, world economies, trade agreements and tariffs and other factors. We purchase these commodities and services based on our anticipated usage and future outlook for these costs. We may not be able to purchase these commodities and services at prices that we can adequately pass on to customers, which could have an adverse impact on our growth and profitability.

In North America, we sell a large portion of our finished products derived from corn at firm prices established in supply contracts typically lasting for a period of one year. To minimize the effect of volatility in the cost of corn related to these firm-priced supply contracts, we enter into corn futures and options contracts, or take other hedging positions in the corn futures market. These derivative contracts typically mature within one year. At expiration, we settle the derivative contracts at a net amount equal to the difference between the then-current price of the commodity and the derivative contract price. The fluctuations in the fair value of these hedging instruments may adversely affect our cash flow. We fund any unrealized losses or receive cash for any unrealized gains on futures contracts on a daily basis. While the corn futures contracts or hedging positions are intended to minimize the effect of volatility of corn costs on operating profits, the hedging activity can result in losses, some of which may be material. In addition, our hedging activities may not be fully successful in limiting the effect of volatility in the cost of corn.

**An inability to contain costs could adversely affect our future profitability and growth.**

Our future profitability and growth depend on our ability to contain operating costs and per unit product costs and to maintain and implement effective cost control programs, while also maintaining competitive pricing and superior quality products, customer service and support. Our ability to maintain a competitive cost structure depends on continued

------

containment of manufacturing, delivery and administrative costs, as well as the implementation of cost-effective purchasing programs for raw materials, energy and related manufacturing requirements.

If we are unable to contain our operating costs and maintain the productivity and reliability of our production facilities, our profitability and growth could be adversely affected.

**Operating difficulties at our manufacturing facilities and liabilities relating to product safety and quality could adversely affect our operating results.**

Producing starches and sweeteners through corn refining is a capital-intensive industry. We conduct preventive maintenance and de-bottlenecking programs at our manufacturing facilities designed to maintain and improve grind capacity and facility reliability. If we encounter operating difficulties at a facility for an extended period of time or start-up problems with any capital improvement projects, we may not be able to meet a portion of our sales order commitments and could incur significantly higher operating expenses, both of which could adversely affect our operating results. Furthermore, we use boilers to generate steam required in our production processes. An event that impaired the operation of a boiler for an extended period of time could have a significant adverse effect on the operations of any manufacturing facility in which such event occurred.

In addition, we are subject to risks related to such matters as product safety and quality and customer product liability claims. The liabilities that could result from these risks may not always be covered by, or could exceed the limits of, our insurance coverage related to product liability and food safety matters. In addition, negative publicity caused by product liability and food safety matters may damage our reputation. The occurrence of any of the matters described above could adversely affect our revenues and operating results.

**Global climate change and legal, regulatory, or market measures to address climate change, may negatively affect our business, operations and financial results.**

We are subject to risks associated with the long-term effects of climate change on the global economy and on our industry in particular. Extreme weather and natural disasters within or outside the United States, such as drought, wildfires, storms, changes in ocean currents and flooding, could make it more difficult and costly for us to manufacture and deliver our products to our customers, obtain raw materials from our suppliers, or perform other critical corporate functions. In particular, if such climate change impacts negatively affect agricultural productivity, we may be subject to decreased availability or less favorable pricing from certain commodities that are necessary for our products, such as corn, specialty grains, rice, stevia, peas and sugar. Adverse weather conditions and natural disasters could reduce crop size and crop quality, which could reduce our supplies of raw materials, lower recoveries of usable raw materials, increase the prices of our raw materials, increase our costs of storing and transporting raw materials, or disrupt production schedules. Our manufacturing operations also could be adversely affected by reduced water availability resulting from droughts.

There is a growing societal concern that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may have an adverse effect on global temperatures, weather patterns and the frequency and severity of natural disasters. The increasing concern over climate change could result in new domestic or international legal requirements for us to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts of our operations, improve our energy efficiency, or undertake sustainability measures that exceed those we currently pursue. Furthermore, such measures may result in the taxation of greenhouse gas emissions. Any such regulatory requirements could cause disruptions in the manufacture of our products and result in increased capital, procurement, manufacturing and distribution costs. Our reputation and brand could be harmed if we fail, or are seen as having failed, to respond responsibly and effectively to changes in legal and regulatory measures adopted to address climate change.

In addition, changing customer preferences may result in increased demands regarding packaging materials and other components in our products and their environmental impact on sustainability. Further, customers may place increasing importance on purchasing products that are sustainably grown and made, requiring us to incur additional costs for increased due diligence and reporting. These demands may cause us to incur additional costs or make other changes to other operations to respond to such demands, which could adversely affect our financial results.

**We may not successfully identify and complete acquisitions or strategic alliances on favorable terms or achieve anticipated synergies relating to any acquisitions or alliances, and such transactions could result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures and require significant management resources.**

We regularly review potential acquisitions of complementary businesses, technologies, services, or products, as well as potential strategic alliances. We may be unable to find suitable acquisition candidates or appropriate partners with which to form partnerships or strategic alliances. Even if we identify appropriate acquisition or alliance candidates, we may be unable to complete such acquisitions or alliances on favorable terms, or at all. In addition, the process of integrating an acquired business, technology, service, or product into our existing business and operations may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. Integration of an acquired company may also require significant management resources that otherwise would be available for ongoing development of our business. Moreover, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition or strategic alliance and such transactions may not generate anticipated financial results. Future acquisitions could also require us to issue equity securities, incur debt, assume contingent liabilities, or amortize expenses related to intangible assets, any of which could harm our business.

**We operate a multinational business subject to the economic, political and other risks inherent in conducting operations in foreign countries and with foreign currencies.**

We have operated in foreign countries and with foreign currencies for many years, and our results are subject to foreign currency exchange fluctuations. We primarily sell products derived from world commodities. Historically, we have been able to adjust local prices relatively quickly to offset the effect of local currency depreciation versus the U.S. dollar, although we cannot guarantee our ability to do this in the future. The anticipated strength in the U.S. dollar may continue to involve risks, as it could take us an extended period of time to fully recapture the impact of a loss of foreign currency value versus the U.S. dollar. We may hedge transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the currency of the operating unit entering into the underlying transaction. Our hedging activities may not be fully successful in limiting the adverse impacts of our currency risks**.**

Our operations are subject to political, economic and other risks. There has been and continues to be significant political uncertainty in some countries in which we operate. Economic changes, terrorist activity and political unrest may result in business interruption or decreased demand for our products. Country capital controls, such as those in Pakistan, may prevent the repatriation of dividends from owned entities in the country. Protectionist trade measures and import and export licensing requirements could also adversely affect our results of operations.

**Our profitability could be negatively impacted if we fail to maintain satisfactory labor relations.**

We have employees domiciled in the U.S. as well as worldwide who belong to labor unions. Strikes, lockouts, or other work stoppages or slowdowns involving our unionized employees, or attempts to organize for collective bargaining purposes among non-unionized employees, could have a material adverse effect on our business. For example, from September 2022 to January 2023, we experienced a strike involving approximately 103 employees at our production facility in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, although this incident did not have a material impact on our business.

**The inability for us to attract, develop, retain, motivate, and maintain good relationships with our workforce, including key personnel, could negatively impact our business and our profitability.**

Our future success depends on our ability to attract, develop, retain, motivate, and maintain good relationships with qualified personnel, particularly those who have extensive expertise in the ingredients solutions industry and who may also have long service with our company. Such personnel are members of our senior executive leadership and work in key areas throughout our U.S. and international operations such as manufacturing, sales, and innovation, all of which are critical to our future growth and profitability. We face intensive competition in retaining and hiring individuals with the requisite expertise, both within and outside the ingredients solutions industry, including from companies that have greater resources than we do.

Changes in labor markets as a result of COVID-19 and other socioeconomic and demographic changes, have increased the competition for hiring and retaining talent. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to continue to attract, develop, retain, motivate, and maintain good relationships with suitably qualified individuals at acceptable compensation levels who have the managerial, operational, and technical knowledge and experience to meet our needs. Furthermore, any failure by us to manage internal succession or to effectively transfer knowledge from departing employees to others in the organization could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Even if we succeed in

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

hiring new personnel to fill vacancies, lengthy training and orientation periods might be required before new employees are able to achieve acceptable productivity levels. Any failure by us to attract, develop, retain, motivate, and maintain good relationships with qualified individuals could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

**Natural disasters, war, acts and threats of terrorism, pandemics and other significant events could negatively impact our business.**

The economies of any countries in which we sell or manufacture products or purchase raw materials could be affected by natural disasters. Such natural disasters could include, among others, earthquakes, floods, or severe weather conditions; war, acts of war or terrorism; or the outbreak of an epidemic or pandemic such as COVID-19. Any such event could result in disruptions to operations, asset write-offs, decreased sales and overall reduced cash flows. The impacts of COVID-19 adversely affected our results of operations in periods since the first quarter of 2020.

**The recognition of impairment charges on goodwill or long-lived assets could adversely impact our future financial position and results of operations.**

We have $1.3 billion of total net intangible assets as of December 31, 2022, consisting of $900 million of goodwill and $401 million of other net intangible assets, which constitute 12 percent and 5 percent, respectively, of our total assets as of such date. Additionally, we have approximately $2.9 billion of long-lived assets, or 39 percent of our total assets, as of December 31, 2022.

We perform an annual impairment assessment for goodwill and our indefinite-lived intangible assets and as necessary for other long-lived assets. If the results of such assessments were to show that the fair value of these assets were less than the carrying values, we could be required to recognize a charge for impairment of goodwill or long-lived assets, which could be material.

The future occurrence of a potential indicator of impairment, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate that would require a change in our assumptions or strategic decisions made in response to economic or competitive conditions, could require us to perform an assessment prior to the next required assessment date of July 1, 2023.

**Our profitability may be affected by other factors beyond our control.**

Our operating income and ability to sustain or increase profitability depend to a large extent upon our ability to price finished products at a level that will cover manufacturing and raw material costs and provide an acceptable profit margin. Our ability to maintain appropriate price levels is determined by a number of factors largely beyond our control, such as aggregate industry supply and market demand, which may vary from time to time, and the economic conditions of the geographic regions in which we conduct our operations.

**<u>Risks Related to Our Regulatory Compliance</u>**

**Government policies and regulations could adversely affect our operating results.**

Our operating results could be affected by changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies, laws and regulations, and other activities of the U.S. and foreign governments, agencies and similar organizations. These conditions include, among others, changes in a country's or region's economic or political conditions, modification or termination of trade agreements or treaties promoting free trade, creation of new trade agreements or treaties, trade regulations affecting production, pricing and marketing of products, local labor conditions and regulations, reduced protection of intellectual property rights, changes in the regulatory or legal environment, restrictions on currency exchange activities, currency exchange rate fluctuations, burdensome taxes and tariffs, and other trade barriers. International risks and uncertainties, including changing social and economic conditions as well as terrorism, political hostilities and war, could limit our ability to transact business in these markets and could adversely affect our revenues and operating results. Furthermore, the national and global regulation or taxation of greenhouse gas emissions could negatively affect our business, operations and financial results.

Our operations could be adversely affected by actions taken in connection with cross-border disputes by the governments of countries in which we conduct business.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

**Changes in our tax rates or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could impact our profitability.**

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. Our effective tax rates could be adversely affected by changes in the mix of earnings by jurisdiction, changes in tax laws, or tax rates changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and material adjustments from tax audits.

The recoverability of our deferred tax assets is dependent upon our ability to generate future taxable income. In addition, we are subject to ongoing audits in various jurisdictions and final determinations of prior-year tax liabilities are dependent upon many factors, including negotiations and dispute resolutions with tax or other governmental authorities. The outcome of these final determinations could have a material effect on our profitability and cash flows.

Pillar One and Pillar Two of the base erosion and profit shifting ("BEPS") project undertaken by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") could result in significant tax law changes in jurisdictions in which we do business. An OECD-led coalition of countries is contemplating changes to long-standing international tax norms that determine each country's right to tax cross-border transactions. These contemplated changes, if adopted by countries in which we do business, could increase tax uncertainty and the risk of double taxation, thereby adversely affecting our provision for income taxes.

**<u>Risks Related to Our Financing Activities</u>**

**Increased interest rates could increase our borrowing costs.**

We continue to issue debt securities to finance capital expenditures, working capital and acquisitions, and for other general corporate purposes. An increase in interest rates in the general economy could result in an increase in our borrowing costs for these financings, as well as under our revolving credit facility, which bears interest at an unhedged floating rate.

**We may not have access to the funds required for future growth and expansion.**

We may not have access to additional funds we need to grow and expand our operations. We expect to fund our capital expenditures from operating cash flow to the extent we are able to do so. If our operating cash flow is insufficient to fund our capital expenditures, we may either reduce our capital expenditures or utilize borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which also provides liquidity support for our commercial paper program. For further strategic growth through mergers or acquisitions, we may also seek to generate additional liquidity through the sale of debt or equity securities in private or public markets or through the sale of assets. Our cash flows from operations may not be sufficient to fund anticipated capital expenditures and, in such an event, we may not be able to obtain additional funds from financial markets or from the sale of assets at terms favorable to us. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows or raise sufficient additional funds to cover our capital expenditures or to finance strategic growth opportunities, we may not be able to achieve our desired operating efficiencies and expansion plans, which may adversely impact our competitiveness and, therefore, our results of operations. Our working capital requirements, including margin requirements on open positions on futures exchanges, are directly affected by the price of corn and other agricultural commodities, which may fluctuate significantly and change quickly.

**<u>Risks Related to Our Information Technology Systems</u>**

**Our information technology systems, processes and sites may suffer interruptions, security breaches, or failures which may affect our ability to conduct our business.**

Our operations rely on certain key information technology systems, which are dependent on services provided by third parties and provide critical data connectivity, information and services for internal and external users. These interactions include, among others, ordering and managing materials from suppliers, risk management activities, converting raw materials to finished products, inventory management, shipping products to customers, processing transactions, summarizing and reporting results of operations, human resources benefits and payroll management, complying with regulatory, legal and tax requirements, and other processes necessary to manage our business. Increased information technology security and social engineering threats and more sophisticated computer crime, including advanced persistent threats, pose potential risks to the security of our information technology systems, networks and services, as well as the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our third-party and employee data. We have put in place security measures to protect ourselves against cyber-based attacks and disaster recovery plans for our critical systems. If our information

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

technology systems are breached, damaged, or cease to function properly due to any number of causes, such as catastrophic events, power outages, security breaches, or cyber-based attacks, and if our disaster recovery plans do not effectively mitigate the risks on a timely basis, we may encounter significant disruptions that could interrupt our ability to manage our operations, cause loss of valuable data and actual or threatened legal actions and cause us to suffer damage to our reputation. These factors may adversely impact our revenues, operating results and financial condition. For example, we reported a malware incident that occurred from October 2019 to December 2019, although this incident did not have a material impact on our business.

The costs to address the foregoing security problems and security vulnerabilities before or after a cyber incident could be significant. Remediation efforts may not be successful and could result in interruptions, delays or cessation of service and loss of existing or potential customers that may impede our sales, manufacturing or other critical functions. Breaches of our security measures and the unapproved dissemination of proprietary information or sensitive or confidential data about us, our employees, our customers or other third parties could expose us, our employees, our customers or other affected third parties to a risk of loss or misuse of this information, result in regulatory enforcement, litigation and potential liability for us, damage our brand and reputation or otherwise harm our business. We rely in certain limited capacities on third-party data management providers and other vendors whose possible security problems and security vulnerabilities may have similar effects on us.

**<u>Risks Related to Investment in Our Common Stock</u>**

**Volatility in the stock market, fluctuations in quarterly operating results and other factors could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.**

The market price for our common stock in the past has been, and in the future may continue to be, significantly affected by factors such as our announcement of new products or services or such announcements by our competitors; technological innovation by us, our competitors or other vendors; quarterly variations in our operating results or the operating results of our competitors; general conditions in our or our customers' markets; and changes in earnings estimates by analysts or reported results that vary materially from such estimates. In addition, the stock market has experienced significant price fluctuations that have affected the market prices of equity securities of many companies that have been unrelated to the operating performance of any individual company.

**We may not continue to pay dividends or to pay dividends at the same rate we have paid in our most recent fiscal quarters.**

The payment of dividends, as well as the amount of any dividends, is solely at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Future dividend payments, if any, also will be subject to our financial results and the availability of statutory surplus funds to pay dividends. These factors could result in a change to our current policy of paying dividends.

**Any failure by us to maintain effective control over financial reporting could result in loss of investor confidence and adversely impact our stock price.**

If we experience material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and are unable to remediate such material weaknesses, or are otherwise unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or our disclosure controls and procedures, our ability to record, process and report financial information accurately and to prepare financial statements within required time periods, could be adversely affected, which could subject us to litigation or investigations requiring management resources and payment of legal and other expenses, negatively affect investor confidence in our financial statements and adversely impact our stock price. For example, we previously reported a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which we fully remediated in fiscal 2021, related to ineffective information technology general controls ("ITGCs") related to user access over certain information technology ("IT") systems.

**ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

In September 2022, following certain air emissions testing Ingredion performed at our Bedford Park, Illinois manufacturing facility, we reported to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (the "Illinois EPA") that certain emissions had exceeded applicable limits under an air emissions permit. On February 8, 2023, the Illinois EPA issued a Notice of Violation with respect to the matter addressed in our report. Violations of the Illinois environmental statute could result in the imposition of civil or criminal monetary penalties. We are engaged in discussions with the Illinois EPA regarding this matter.

In 2015 and 2016, Ingredion self-reported certain monitoring and recordkeeping issues relating to environmental regulatory matters involving its Indianapolis, Indiana manufacturing facility. In September 2017, following inspections and the provision by Ingredion of requested information to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"), the EPA issued Ingredion a Notice of Violation, which included additional alleged violations beyond those self-reported by Ingredion. These additional alleged violations primarily relate to the results of stack testing at the facility. The allegations in the Notice of Violation, whether from the self-reported information, the inspections or the additional requested information, are not material to us. The EPA has referred the overall matter to the U.S. Department of Justice, Environment and Natural Resources Division (the "DOJ"). The DOJ and Ingredion are engaged in discussions with respect to a resolution of this matter.

We are currently subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to labor matters, certain environmental proceedings and commercial claims. We also routinely receive inquiries from regulators and other government authorities relating to various aspects of our business, including with respect to compliance with laws and regulations relating to the environment, and at any given time, we have matters at various stages of resolution with the applicable governmental authorities. The outcomes of these matters are not within our complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. We do not believe that the results of currently known legal proceedings and inquires will be material to us. There can be no assurance, however, that such claims, suits or investigations or those arising in the future, whether taken individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

**ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

**Overview**

We are a major supplier of high-quality food and industrial ingredient solutions to customers around the world. We have 47 manufacturing facilities located in North America, South America, Asia-Pacific and EMEA and we manage and operate our businesses at a regional level. We believe this approach provides us with a unique understanding of the cultures and product requirements in each of the geographic markets in which we operate, bringing added value to our customers. Our ingredients are used by customers in the food, beverage, brewing and animal feed industries, among others.

Effectively managing our manufacturing costs, including costs for corn, other raw materials and utilities, is critical to the success of our business. In addition, our global operations expose us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We use derivative financial instruments, when appropriate, for the purpose of managing the risks and costs associated with fluctuations in certain raw material and energy costs, foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The capital-intensive nature of our business requires that we generate significant cash flow over time in order to reinvest selectively in our operations and grow organically, as well as to expand through strategic acquisitions and alliances.

We have been navigating evolving global conditions that have varying impacts on our customers, suppliers, employees, operations and, ultimately, our profitability and cash flows. During 2022, we continued to achieve strong price mix, which included increased prices for our products to manage the effects of increasing corn and freight costs. Our ability to respond to changing customer demands, increasing inflation, fluctuating foreign exchange rates, and shifting supply channels was affected by a variety of factors, including the continuing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic with lockdowns in China and weather-related effects on crop yields in Europe.

In 2022, net sales increased over 15 percent to $7.9 billion from $6.9 billion in 2021. The increase in net sales was driven by strong price mix, partly offset by foreign currency impacts and lower volumes. Our operating income of $762 million for 2022 increased from operating income of $310 million in 2021. Net income attributable to Ingredion for 2022 was $492 million, or $7.34 diluted earnings per share, which represented an increase from $117 million, or $1.73 diluted earnings per share, for 2021. The increases in operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share were primarily due to stronger price mix that more than offset higher corn and input costs. Our results for 2022 compared to 2021 were also impacted by a $340 million impairment charge related to the contribution of Ingredion Argentina's net assets to the Argentina joint venture recorded during 2021.

**Results of Operations**

We have significant operations in four reporting segments: North America, South America, Asia-Pacific and EMEA. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affect the U.S. dollar amounts of our foreign subsidiaries' revenues and expenses. 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 U.S. dollars at the applicable average exchange rates for the period.

We acquired the majority of shares of Mannitab on December 1, 2022, fully acquired Amishi on August 1, 2022, and KaTech on April 1, 2021. The results of the acquired businesses are included in our consolidated financial results beginning on the respective acquisition dates, which affects the comparability of results between years. In addition, our share of results in joint ventures are classified in our Consolidated Statements of Income in Other operating expense (income) and comparability between years and between financial statement line items is affected by the timing of and consideration provided to the investments. While we identify the impacts of acquisitions and investments on our results, our discussion below also addresses results of operations excluding those impacts, where appropriate, to provide a more comparable and meaningful analysis.

**For the Year Ended December 31, 2022**

**With Comparatives for the Year Ended December 31, 2021**

**Net sales**. Net sales increased 15 percent to $7,946 million for 2022 compared to $6,894 million for 2021. The increase in net sales was driven by strong price mix. This was partially offset by foreign currency impacts and lower volumes.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

**Cost of sales**. Cost of sales increased by 16 percent to $6,452 million in 2022 compared to cost of sales of $5,563 million in 2021. The increase in cost of sales primarily reflected higher net corn costs. Our gross profit margin of 19 percent in 2022 was unchanged from 2021.

**Operating expenses**. Operating expenses increased 7 percent to $715 million in 2022 compared to $668 million in 2021. The increase in operating expenses during 2022 was primarily attributable to cost impacts of higher inflation. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were approximately 9 percent in 2022 and 2021.

**Other operating expense (income)**. Other operating expense (income) was $13 million in 2022 compared to $(34) million in 2021. The 2022 expense was primarily attributable to charges resulting from a U.S. based work stoppage. During 2021 we recorded $15 million of income from Brazil indirect tax credits and a net gain of $8 million related to the formation of the Amyris joint venture.

**Restructuring/impairment charges and related adjustments.** Restructuring and impairment charges decreased to $4 million in 2022 from $387 million in 2021, which primarily reflected an impairment charge of $340 million we recorded in 2021 for net assets from our Argentina business we contributed to the Argentina joint venture. In addition, the completion of our Cost Smart restructuring program resulted in $4 million of pre-tax restructuring charges in 2022 as compared to $44 million in 2021.

**Financing costs**. Financing costs increased 34 percent to $99 million in 2022 compared to $74 million in 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher outstanding debt balances, as well as higher interest rates in 2022 as compared to 2021.

**Provision for income taxes**. Our effective income tax rates for 2022 and 2021 were 24.9 percent and 49.6 percent, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to the $340 million impairment charge related to net assets contributed to the Argentina joint venture during 2021, which did not have a corresponding income tax benefit. The effect of this charge was partially offset by a 2021 reversal of an accrual from unremitted earnings of a foreign subsidiary.

**Net income attributable to non-controlling interests**. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests increased to $10 million in 2022 from $8 million in 2021.

**Net Income attributable to Ingredion**. Net income attributable to Ingredion for 2022 increased to $492 million from $117 million in 2021. The increase in net income was largely attributable to the $340 million impairment charge for the Argentina assets contributed to the Argentina joint venture in the prior year. The increase was also impacted by strong price mix that more than offset higher corn and input costs.

*North America*

**Net sales**. North America's net sales increased 19 percent to $4,934 million in 2022 from $4,137 million in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a 19 percent improvement in price mix and a 1 percent increase in volume. These impacts were partially offset by an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of 1 percent.

**Operating income**. North America's operating income increased 16 percent to $565 million in 2022 from $487 million in 2021. The increase was driven by favorable price mix.

*South America*

**Net sales**. South America's net sales increased 6 percent to $1,124 million in 2022 from $1,057 million in 2021. Excluding the effects of revenues from operations we contributed to the Argentina joint venture, net sales were 23 percent higher than in 2021. The increase reflected a 22 percent improvement in price mix and a 2 percent increase in volume. The effect of these factors was partially offset by an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of 1 percent.

**Operating income**. South America's operating income increased 22 percent to $169 million in 2022 from $138 million in 2021. The increase was driven by favorable price mix, partially offset by higher corn and input costs.

*Asia-Pacific*

**Net sales**. Asia-Pacific's net sales increased 11 percent to $1,107 million in 2022 from $997 million in 2021. The increase was driven by favorable price mix of 14 percent and favorable volumes of 5 percent. These impacts were partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts of 8 percent.

**Operating income**. Asia-Pacific's operating income increased 7 percent to $93 million in 2022 from $87 million in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by the favorable price mix that was partially offset by foreign exchange impacts.

*EMEA*

**Net sales**. EMEA's net sales increased by 11 percent to $781 million in 2022 from $703 million in 2021. The increase was driven by favorable price mix of 23 percent and increased volumes of 2 percent, which were partially due to the purchase of KaTech on April 1, 2021. The effect of these factors was partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts of 14 percent.

**Operating income**. EMEA's operating income increased 4 percent to $110 million in 2022 compared to $106 million in 2021. Favorability in Europe was partially offset by foreign exchange impacts across the region.

**For the Year Ended December 31, 2021**

**With Comparatives for the Year Ended December 31, 2020**

A discussion of the year-over-year comparison of results for 2021 and 2020 is not included in this report and can be found in Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Ingredion's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

As of December 31, 2022, Ingredion had total available liquidity of approximately $1,626 million. Domestic liquidity of $612 million consisted of $2 million in cash and cash equivalents and $610 million available through a $1 billion commercial paper program that had $390 million of outstanding borrowings. The commercial paper program, which we entered on July 27, 2021, is backed by $1 billion of borrowing availability under a five-year revolving credit agreement that we entered on June 30, 2021, as described below.

As of December 31, 2022, we had international liquidity of approximately $1,014 million, consisting of $234 million of cash and cash equivalents and $3 million of short-term investments held by our operations outside the U.S., as well as $777 million of unused operating lines of credit in foreign countries where we operate. As the parent company, we guarantee certain obligations of our consolidated subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2022, our guarantees aggregated $63 million. We believe that those consolidated subsidiaries will be able to meet their financial obligations as they become due.

We have entered into a revolving credit agreement for an unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1 billion outstanding at any time, which will mature on June 30, 2026. Loans under the facility accrue interest at a per annum rate equal, at our option, to either a specified Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus an applicable margin, or a base rate (generally determined according to the highest of the prime rate, the federal funds rate or the specified SOFR plus 1.00 percent) plus an applicable margin. The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other matters, specify customary reporting obligations, and that, subject to exceptions, restrict the incurrence of additional indebtedness by our subsidiaries, the incurrence of liens and the consummation of certain mergers, consolidations and sales of assets. We are subject to compliance, as of the end of each quarter, with a maximum leverage ratio of 3.5 to 1.0 and a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense of 3.5 to 1.0, with each financial covenant calculated for the most recently completed four-quarter period. As of December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with these financial covenants.

On July 27, 2021, we established the commercial paper program under which we may issue senior unsecured notes of short maturities up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1 billion outstanding at any time. The notes may be sold from time to time on customary terms in the U.S. commercial paper market. We use and intend to continue using the note proceeds for general corporate purposes. During 2022, the average amount of commercial paper outstanding was $522 million with a weighted average interest rate of 1.97 percent over a weighted average maturity of 16 days. As of

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

December 31, 2022, we had $390 million of commercial paper outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 4.75 percent over a weighted average maturity of 7 days. The amount of commercial paper outstanding under this program in 2023 is expected to fluctuate.

On December 16, 2022 we entered into a new two-year, senior, unsecured $200 million term loan, which bears interest, payable quarterly in arrears, at a variable annual rate based on an adjusted daily SOFR plus a margin of 1.10 percent per annum. The term loan will mature and all principal thereunder will be payable on December 16, 2024. The term loan agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other matters, specify customary reporting obligations, and that, subject to exceptions, restrict the incurrence of additional indebtedness by our subsidiaries, the incurrence of liens and the consummation of certain mergers, consolidations and sales of assets. We are subject to compliance, as of the end of each quarter, with a maximum leverage ratio of 3.5 to 1.0 and a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense of 3.5 to 1.0, with each financial covenant calculated for the most recently completed four-quarter period.

As of December 31, 2022, we had total debt outstanding of approximately $2.5 billion, or approximately $1.9 billion excluding the outstanding commercial paper and other short-term borrowings. Of our outstanding debt, $1.7 billion consists of senior notes that do not require principal repayment until 2026 through 2050. The weighted average interest rate on our total indebtedness was approximately 3.5 percent for 2022 and approximately 3.0 percent for 2021.

The principal source of our liquidity is our internally generated cash flow, which we supplement as necessary with our ability to borrow under our credit facilities and to raise funds in the capital markets. We currently expect that our available cash balances, future cash flow from operations, access to debt markets and borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program, will provide us with sufficient liquidity to fund our anticipated capital expenditures, dividends and other operating, investing and financing activities for at least the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. Our future cash flow needs will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, cost of raw materials, changing working capital requirements, the timing and extent of our expansion into new markets, the timing of introductions of new products, potential acquisitions of complementary businesses and technologies, continuing market acceptance of our new products and general economic and market conditions. We may need to raise additional capital or incur indebtedness to fund our needs for less predictable strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions.

**Net Cash Flows**

Our cash provided by operating activities decreased to $152 million in 2022 from $392 million in 2021, primarily due to changes in working capital. Cash used for working capital increased to $664 million for 2022, primarily due to increases in trade accounts receivable and inventory. Cash used for trade accounts receivable increased because of higher pricing and higher freight charges for products we sold, and cash used for inventory increased due primarily to higher input costs from raw materials during 2022. Our cash used by investing activities decreased to $320 million in 2022 from $335 million in 2021, primarily as a result of less cash used for acquisitions in 2022. In 2022, we had cash provided by financing activities of $103 million, as compared to cash used for financing activities of $373 million in 2021. Cash provided by financing activities in 2022 was primarily provided by proceeds from borrowings, including under our new $200 million term loan, which exceeded our payments on debt.

We used $300 million of cash for capital expenditures and mechanical stores purchases to update, expand and improve our facilities in 2022, which was unchanged from the $300 million we paid in 2021 for the same purposes. Capital investment commitments for 2023 are anticipated to be approximately $300 million.

In August 2022, we acquired Amishi for $7 million, net of cash acquired. In December 2022, we acquired a 65 percent controlling interest in Mannitab for $22 million, net of cash acquired.

We declare and pay cash dividends to our common stockholders of record on a quarterly basis. Dividends paid, including those to non-controlling interests, decreased 2 percent to $181 million during 2022 compared to $184 million during 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in shares outstanding in 2022, as a result of our repurchase during 2022 of 1,283 thousand outstanding shares of common stock in open market transactions at a net cost of $112 million.

We have not provided foreign withholding taxes, state income taxes and federal and state taxes on foreign currency gains/losses on accumulated undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries because these earnings are

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

considered to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicable to determine the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the undistributed earnings. We do not anticipate the need to repatriate funds to the U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business, including liquidity needs associated with our domestic debt service requirements.

**Key Financial Performance Metrics**

We use certain key financial performance metrics to monitor our progress towards achieving our long-term strategic business objectives. These metrics relate to our ability to drive profitability, create value for stockholders and monitor our financial leverage. We assess whether we are achieving our profitability and value creation objectives by measuring our Adjusted Return on Invested Capital ("Adjusted ROIC"). We monitor our financial leverage by regularly reviewing our ratio of net debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA"). We believe these metrics provide valuable information to help us run our business and are useful to investors.

The metrics Adjusted ROIC and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA include certain financial measures (Adjusted operating income, net of tax, and Adjusted EBITDA, respectively) that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We also have presented below the most comparable financial measures calculated using components determined in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally for strategic decision-making, forecasting future results and evaluating current performance. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide a more consistent comparison of our operating results and trends for the periods presented. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

In accordance with our long-term strategy, we set certain objectives relating to these key financial performance metrics that we strive to meet. However, no assurance can be given that we will continue to meet our financial performance metric targets. See Item 1A. Risk Factors and Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for a discussion of factors that could affect our ability to meet those targets. The objectives reflect our current aspirations in light of our present plans and existing circumstances. We may change these objectives from time to time to address new opportunities or changing circumstances as appropriate to meet our long-term needs and those of our stockholders.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP historical financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure is provided in the tables below.

*Adjusted ROIC*

Adjusted ROIC is a financial performance ratio not defined under GAAP, and it should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, GAAP financial measures. Ingredion defines Adjusted ROIC as Adjusted operating income, net of tax, divided by Average end-of-year balances for current year and prior year Total net debt and equity. Similarly named measures may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. Ingredion believes Adjusted ROIC is meaningful to investors as it focuses on profitability and value-creating potential, taking into account the amount of capital invested. The most comparable measure calculated using components determined in accordance with GAAP is Return on Invested Capital, which Ingredion defines as Net income, divided by Average end-of-year balances for current year and prior year Total net debt and equity, as provided in the table below.

Our long-term objective is to maintain an Adjusted ROIC in excess of 10 percent. For 2022, we achieved an Adjusted ROIC of 11.0 percent as compared to 10.7 percent for 2021.

*Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA*

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is a financial performance ratio that is not defined under GAAP, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, GAAP financial measures. Ingredion defines this measure as Short-term and Long-term debt less Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term investments, divided by Adjusted EBITDA. Similarly named measures may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. Ingredion believes Total net debt to Adjusted EBITDA is meaningful to investors as it focuses on Ingredion's leverage on a comparable Adjusted EBITDA basis and helps investors better understand the time required to pay back Ingredion's outstanding debt. The most comparable ratio calculated using components determined in accordance with GAAP is Total net debt to Income before income taxes, calculated as Short-term and Long-term debt less Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term investments, divided by Income before income taxes, as provided in the table below.

Our long-term objective is to target a ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA of 2.5 or less. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the ratio was 2.2 and 1.9, respectively.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

We have identified below the most critical accounting policies upon which the financial statements are based and that involve our most complex and subjective decisions and assessments. Our senior management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these policies with members of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. These accounting policies are provided in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The discussion that follows should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

*Business Combinations*

Our acquisitions of Amishi and the majority of shares of Mannitab in 2022, KaTech in 2021, and PureCircle and Verdient in 2020 were accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, *Business Combinations*. In purchase accounting, identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition and any remaining purchase price is recorded as goodwill. In determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we make significant estimates and assumptions, particularly for long-lived tangible and intangible assets. Critical estimates used in valuing tangible and intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows, discount rates, market prices and asset lives. Although our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, actual results may differ. See Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to our acquisitions.

*Property, Plant and Equipment and Definite-Lived Intangible Assets*

We have substantial investments in property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") and definite-lived intangible assets. For PP&E, we recognize the cost of depreciable assets in operations over the estimated useful life of the assets and evaluate the recoverability of these assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. For definite-lived intangible assets, we recognize the cost of these amortizable assets in operations over their estimated useful life and evaluate the recoverability of the assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The carrying values of PP&E and definite-lived intangible assets at December 31, 2022 were $2.4 billion and $258 million, respectively.

In assessing the recoverability of the carrying value of PP&E and definite-lived intangible assets, we may have to make projections regarding future cash flows. In developing these projections, we make a variety of important assumptions and estimates that have a significant impact on our assessments of whether the carrying values of PP&E and definite-lived intangible assets should be adjusted to reflect impairment. Among these are assumptions and estimates about the future growth and profitability of the related asset group, anticipated future economic, regulatory and political conditions in the asset group's market, and estimates of terminal or disposal values.

To optimize our operations, we continually review whether to further consolidate our manufacturing facilities or redeploy assets for other uses when we believe we can achieve a higher return on our investment. This review may result in closing or sale of certain manufacturing facilities, which could have a significant negative impact on our results of operations in the period we decide to close or sell the facility.

The future occurrence of a potential indicator of impairment, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate that would require a change in our assumptions or strategic decisions made in response to economic or competitive conditions, could require us to perform tests of recoverability in the future.

*Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Goodwill*

We have certain indefinite-lived intangible assets in the form of tradenames and trademarks. Our methodology for allocating the purchase price of acquisitions is based on established valuation techniques that reflect the consideration of a number of factors, including valuations performed by third-party appraisers when appropriate. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value assigned to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We have identified several reporting units for which cash flows are determinable and to which goodwill may be allocated. Goodwill is either assigned to a specific reporting unit or allocated between reporting units based on the relative excess fair value of each reporting unit. The carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill at December 31, 2022 was $143 million and $900 million, respectively, compared to $143 million and $914 million, respectively, at December 31, 2021.

We assess indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for impairment as of July 1 each year (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise). We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, which include net sales derived from these intangibles and certain market and industry conditions. After assessing the qualitative factors, if we determine that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is greater than its carrying amount, then we are not required to compute the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset. If the qualitative assessment leads us to conclude otherwise, then we are required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets and perform a quantitative impairment test in accordance with ASC subtopic 350-30, *Intangibles – Goodwill and Other*. Based on our

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

assessment's results, we concluded that as of July 1, 2022, there were no impairments in our indefinite-lived intangible assets.

In testing goodwill for impairment, we first assess qualitative factors in determining whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. After assessing the qualitative factors, if we determine that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then we do not perform an impairment test. If we conclude otherwise, then we perform the impairment test as described in ASC Topic 350, *Intangibles – Goodwill and Other*. Under this impairment test, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is not considered impaired, and no further testing is required. If the carrying value of the net assets exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then an impairment exists for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the reporting unit. This difference may not exceed the goodwill recorded at the reporting unit.

When we test goodwill for impairment, we make certain estimates and judgments, which include identifying reporting units and determining the reporting units' fair values based on both discounted cash flow analyses and an analysis of market multiples. To determine the fair value of reporting units, we use significant assumptions and estimates for discount and long-term net sales growth rates, in addition to operating and capital expenditure requirements. We consider changes in discount rates for the reporting units based on current market interest rates and specific risk factors within each geographic region. We also evaluate qualitative factors, such as legal, regulatory or competitive forces, in estimating the impact to the fair value of the reporting units, noting no significant changes that would result in any reporting unit failing the impairment test. Changes in assumptions concerning projected results or other underlying assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of the reporting units in the future. Based on the results of the annual assessment, we concluded that as of July 1, 2022, there were no impairments in our reporting units.

*Retirement Benefits*

We and our subsidiaries sponsor noncontributory defined benefit pension plans (qualified and non-qualified) covering a substantial portion of employees in the U.S. and Canada, and certain employees in other countries. We also provide healthcare and life insurance benefits for retired employees in the U.S., Canada and Brazil. In order to measure the expense and obligations associated with these benefits, our management must make a variety of estimates and assumptions, including discount rates, expected long-term rates of return, rate of compensation increases, employee turnover rates, retirement rates, mortality rates and other factors. We review our actuarial assumptions on an annual basis as of December 31 (or more frequently if a significant event requiring remeasurement occurs) and modify our assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The effects of modifications are recognized immediately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets but are generally amortized into operating earnings over future periods, with the deferred amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL"). We believe the assumptions utilized in recording our obligations under our plans, which are based on our experience, market conditions and input from our actuaries, are reasonable. We use third-party specialists to assist management in evaluating our assumptions and estimates, as well as to appropriately measure the costs and obligations associated with our retirement benefit plans. Had we used different estimates and assumptions for these plans, our retirement benefit obligations and related expense could vary from the actual amounts recorded and such differences could be material. Additionally, adverse changes in investment returns earned on pension assets and discount rates used to calculate pension and postretirement benefit related liabilities or changes in required funding levels may have an unfavorable impact on future expense and cash flow. Net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost for all of our plans was $6 million in 2022 and $3 million in 2021.

We determine our assumption for the discount rate used to measure year-end pension and postretirement obligations based on high-quality fixed-income investments that match the duration of the expected benefit payments, which has been benchmarked using a long-term, high-quality AA corporate bond index. We use a full yield curve approach in the estimation of the service and interest cost components of benefit cost by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. The weighted average discount rate used to determine our obligations under U.S. pension plans as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, was 5.19 percent and 2.91 percent, respectively. The weighted average discount rate used to determine our obligations under non-U.S. pension plans as of 2022 and 2021, was 5.66 percent and 3.47 percent, respectively. The weighted average discount rate used to determine our obligations under our postretirement plans as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, was 7.30 percent and 4.22 percent, respectively.

A one percentage point decrease in the discount rates at 2022, would have increased the accumulated benefit obligation and projected benefit obligation by the following amounts (millions):

Our investment approach and related asset allocation for the U.S. and Canada plans is a liability-driven investment approach by which a higher proportion of investments will be in interest-rate sensitive investments (fixed income) under an active-management approach. The approach seeks to protect the current funded status of the plans from market volatility with a greater asset allocation to interest-rate sensitive assets. The greater allocation to interest-rate sensitive assets is expected to reduce volatility in plan-funded status by more closely matching movements in asset values to changes in liabilities.

Our current investment policy for our pension plans is to balance risk and return through diversified portfolios of actively managed equity index instruments, fixed income index securities and short-term investments. Maturities for fixed income securities are managed so that sufficient liquidity exists to meet near-term benefit payment obligations. The asset allocation is reviewed regularly, and portfolio investments are rebalanced to the targeted allocation when considered appropriate or to raise sufficient liquidity when necessary to meet near-term benefit payment obligations. For 2022 net periodic pension cost, we assumed an expected long-term rate of return on assets, which is based on the fair value of plan assets, of 4.10 percent for U.S. plans and approximately 3.06 percent for Canadian plans. In developing the expected long-term rate of return assumption on plan assets, which consist mainly of U.S. and Canadian debt and equity securities, management evaluated historical rates of return achieved on plan assets and the asset allocation of the plans, input from our independent actuaries and investment consultants, and historical trends in long-term inflation rates. Projected return estimates made by such consultants are based upon broad equity and bond indices. We also maintain several funded pension plans in other international locations. The expected returns on plan assets for these plans are determined based on each plan's investment approach and asset allocations. A hypothetical 25 basis point decrease in the expected long-term rate of return assumption would increase 2023 net periodic pension cost for the U.S. and Canada plans by approximately $1 million each.

Healthcare cost trend rates are used in valuing our postretirement benefit obligations and are established based on actual health care cost trends and consultation with actuaries and benefit providers. At December 31, 2022, the health care cost trend rate assumptions for the next year for the U.S., Canada and Brazil plans were 6.82 percent, 4.82 percent and 8.68 percent, respectively.

**ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

*Hedging:* We are exposed to market risk stemming from changes in commodity prices (primarily corn and natural gas), foreign-currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal course of business, we actively manage our exposure to these market risks by entering various hedging transactions, authorized under established policies that place controls on these activities. These transactions utilize exchange-traded derivatives or over-the-counter derivatives with investment grade counterparties. Our hedging transactions may include, but are not limited to, a variety of derivative financial instruments such as commodity-related futures, options and swap contracts, forward currency-related contracts and options, interest rate swap agreements and Treasury lock agreements ("T-Locks"). We plan to continue to use derivative instruments to hedge such price risk and, accordingly, we will be required to make cash deposits to or be entitled to receive cash from our margin accounts depending on the movement in the market price of the underlying commodities. See Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

*Raw Material, Energy and Other Commodity Exposure:* Our principal use of derivative financial instruments is to manage commodity price risk primarily in North America relating to anticipated purchases of corn and natural gas to be used in our manufacturing process. Our finished products are made primarily from corn. In North America, we sell a large portion of finished products at firm prices established in supply contracts typically lasting for periods of up to one year. In order to minimize the effect of volatility in the cost of corn related to these firm-priced supply contracts, we enter into corn futures contracts or take other hedging positions in the corn futures market. These contracts typically mature within one year. At expiration, we settle the derivative contracts at a net amount equal to the difference between the then-current price of corn and the futures contract price. Although these hedging instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, changes in the value of the underlying exposures we are hedging generally offset such fluctuations. While the corn futures contracts or other hedging positions are intended to minimize the volatility of corn costs on operating profits, occasionally the hedging contracts can incur losses, some of which may be material. Outside North America, sales of finished products under long-term, firm-priced supply contracts are not material.

Energy costs represent approximately 7 percent of our cost of sales. The primary use of energy is to create steam in the production process and to dry product. We consume natural gas, electricity, coal, fuel oil, wood and other biomass sources to generate energy. The market prices for these commodities vary depending on supply and demand, world economies and other factors. We purchase these commodities based on our anticipated usage and the future outlook for these costs. We cannot assure that we will be able to purchase these commodities at prices that we can adequately pass through to customers to sustain or increase profitability. We use derivative financial instruments, such as over-the-counter natural gas swaps, to hedge portions of our natural gas costs generally over the following 12 to 24 months, primarily in our North America operations.

At December 31, 2022, we had outstanding futures and option contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 120 million bushels of corn, as well as outstanding swap contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 31 million mmbtus of natural gas. Based on our overall commodity hedge position at December 31, 2022, a hypothetical 10 percent decline in market prices applied to the fair value of the instruments would result in a charge to other comprehensive loss ("OCL") of approximately $71 million, net of income tax benefit of $22 million. Any change in the fair value of the contracts, real or hypothetical, would be substantially offset by an inverse change in the value of the underlying hedged item.

Unrealized gains and losses associated with marking our commodities-based cash flow hedge derivative instruments to market are recorded as a component of OCL. As of December 31, 2022, our AOCL included $8 million of net gains (net of income tax expense of $3 million) related to these derivative instruments. We anticipate that $10 million of net gains (net of income tax expense of $3 million) will be reclassified into earnings during the following 12 months. We expect the net gains to be offset by changes in the underlying commodities costs.

*Interest Rate Exposure:* We are exposed to interest rate risk on our variable rate debt and price risk on our fixed rate debt. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 70 percent, or $1.7 billion principal amount, of our total debt is fixed rate debt and 30 percent, or approximately $750 million principal amount, of our total debt is variable rate debt subject to changes in short-term rates, which could affect our interest costs. We assess market risk based on changes in interest rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential change in earnings, fair values and cash flows based on a hypothetical 1 percentage point change in interest rates at December 31, 2022. A hypothetical increase of 1 percentage point in the weighted average floating interest rate would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $7 million and would change the fair value of our fixed rate debt at December 31, 2022 by approximately $117 million. See Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

Since we have no current plans to repurchase our outstanding fixed rate instruments before their maturities, the impact of market interest rate fluctuations on our long-term debt is not expected to have a significant effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

We occasionally use interest rate swaps and T-Locks to hedge our exposure to interest rate changes, to reduce the volatility of our financing costs, or to achieve a desired proportion of fixed versus floating rate debt, based on current and projected market conditions. The changes in 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 gains or losses (the changes in fair value) of the hedged debt instruments that are attributable to changes in interest rates (the hedged risk), which are also recognized in earnings. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we did not have any outstanding interest rate swaps.

We did not have any T-Locks outstanding as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, our AOCL account included $3 million of net losses (net of $1 million tax benefit) related to settled T-Locks. These deferred losses are being amortized to financing costs over the term of the senior notes with which they are associated. The net losses reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months are not anticipated to be significant.

*Foreign Currencies:* Due to our global operations, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As a result, we have exposure to translational foreign exchange risk when our foreign operation results are translated to U.S. dollars and to transactional foreign exchange risk when transactions not denominated in the functional currency of the operating unit are revalued.

We selectively use derivative instruments such as forward contracts, currency swaps and options to manage transactional foreign exchange risk. Based on our overall foreign currency transactional exposure at December 31, 2022, we estimate that a hypothetical 10 percent decline in the value of the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a transactional foreign exchange loss of approximately $4 million. At December 31, 2022, our AOCL account included in the equity section of our Consolidated Balance Sheets includes a cumulative translation loss of approximately $1.0 billion. The aggregate net assets of our foreign subsidiaries where the local currency is the functional currency approximated $1.8 billion at December 31, 2022. A hypothetical 10 percent decline in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies would have resulted in a reduction to our cumulative translation loss and a credit to OCL of approximately $200 million

We primarily use derivative financial instruments such as foreign-currency forward contracts, swaps and options to manage our foreign currency transactional exchange risk. We enter foreign-currency derivative instruments that are designated as both cash flow hedging instruments and instruments not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. As of December 31, 2022, we had foreign currency forward sales contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $405 million and foreign currency forward purchase contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $239 million not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. As of December 31, 2022, we also had foreign currency forward sales contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $668 million and foreign currency forward purchase contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $840 million that are classified as cash flow hedges. The amount included in AOCL relating to these hedges at December 31, 2022 was a $1 million gain (net of an insignificant amount of income tax expense). We expect $4 million of net gains (net of $2 million of income tax expense) will be reclassified to earnings over the next 12 months.

Some of the countries in which we operate may experience high inflation. We elect hyperinflation accounting for our affiliate in Argentina, which has high cumulative inflation, determined its functional currency to be the U.S. dollar, and measure its income statement and balance sheet in U.S. dollars using both current and historical rates of exchange. The effect of changes in exchange rates on its local currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities is reflected in earnings in financing costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Ingredion Incorporated:

*Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting*

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ingredion Incorporated and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and redeemable equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

*Basis for Opinions*

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

*Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting*

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

*Critical Audit Matter*

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

*Evaluation of the pension benefit obligations*

As discussed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's pension benefit obligations totaled $488 million as of December 31, 2022. The pension benefit obligations are measured at the actuarial present value of the benefits to which employees are entitled based on employee service rendered and the benefits attributed by the pension benefit formula and the employee's expected date of separation or retirement. The determination of the Company's pension benefit obligations is dependent, in part, on certain estimates and the selection of assumptions, including discount rates.

We identified the evaluation of the pension benefit obligations as a critical audit matter. Subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the actuarial models and methodology used by the Company to determine the obligations and to evaluate the discount rates used. Changes in the discount rates could have a significant impact to the measurement of the pension benefit obligations.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company's pension benefit obligations process, including controls related to the assessment of the actuarial models and methodology and the development of the discount rates. For certain plans, we involved an actuarial professional with specialized skill and knowledge, who assisted in:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• understanding and assessing the appropriateness of the actuarial models and methodology used by the Company to determine the obligations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the evaluation of the Company's discount rates, by assessing changes in the discount rates from the prior year and comparing it to the change in published indices, and by evaluating the discount rates based on the pattern of cash flows; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the evaluation of the selected yield curve, the consistency of the yield curve with the prior year, and the spot rates, to further assess the discount rates.

**Ingredion Incorporated ("Ingredion")**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**NOTE 1 – Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

*Description of the Business*: Ingredion Incorporated was founded in 1906 and became an independent and public company as of December 31, 1997. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to the "Company," "Ingredion," "we," "us," and "our" shall mean Ingredion Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries. We primarily manufacture and sell sweeteners, starches, nutrition ingredients and biomaterial solutions derived from wet milling and processing corn and other starch-based materials to a wide range of industries, both domestically and internationally.

*Basis of presentation*: The Consolidated Financial Statements consist of the accounts of Ingredion, including all subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates and assumptions impact the value of purchase consideration, accounts receivable, inventories, certain investments, goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, income taxes, and pension and other postretirement benefits, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on our best estimates and judgment. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We will adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Corn price volatility, adverse changes in the global economic environment, foreign currency devaluations versus the U.S. dollar, and access to credit markets increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, other than those whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar, are translated at current exchange rates with the related translation adjustments reported in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL"), and income statement accounts are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our subsidiaries in Mexico and Argentina, and we translate their monetary assets and liabilities at current exchange rates with the related adjustment included in net income and non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical exchange rates with the related translation adjustments included in AOCL.

*Net sales:* Ingredion recognizes revenue under the core principle to depict our transfer of products to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration we expect to receive. To achieve that core principle, we apply the following five-step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.

We identify customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by a master sales agreement, as the contracts with our customers. For each contract, we consider the transfer of products, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligation. In determining the transaction price for the performance obligation, we evaluate whether the price is subject to adjustment to determine the consideration to which we expect to be entitled. The pricing model can be fixed or variable within the contract. The variable pricing model is based on historical commodity pricing and is determinable prior to completing the performance obligation. Additionally, we have certain sales adjustments for volume incentive discounts and other discount arrangements that reduce the transaction price. We estimate the reduction of transaction price using the expected value method based on our analysis of historical volume incentives or discounts over a period considered adequate to account for current pricing and business trends. Historically, actual volume incentives and discounts relative to those estimated and included when determining the transaction price have not materially differed. We accrue volume incentives and discounts in Accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets when we satisfy the performance obligation. We consider the product price as specified in the contract, net of any discounts, as the standalone selling price as it is an observable input that represents the price if we sold the product to a similar customer in similar circumstances. We do not recognize any significant financing components since payment is due shortly after we satisfy our performance obligation.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

We recognize revenue when we satisfy our performance obligation and control is transferred to the customer, which occurs at a point in time, either upon delivery to an agreed upon location or to the customer. Further, in determining whether control has transferred, we consider if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer.

Shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers represent fulfillment costs and are recorded in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities and collected from customers are accounted for on a net basis and excluded from net sales. We expense costs to obtain a contract when we incur the costs since most contracts are one year or less. These costs primarily include our internal sales force compensation. Under the terms of these programs, the compensation is generally earned, and the costs are recognized when we recognize the revenue.

From time to time, we may enter into long-term contracts with our customers. Historically, such contracts do not result in significant contract assets or liabilities. Any such arrangements are accounted for in Other assets or Accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

*Cash and cash equivalents:* Cash equivalents consist of all instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and that have virtually no risk of loss in value.

*Accounts receivable*: Accounts receivable consists of trade and other receivables carried at approximate fair value, net of an allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is determined using our best estimate of expected credit losses based on historical experience and current forecasts of future economic conditions, and we adjust this estimate over the life of the receivable as needed.

*Inventories:* Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs are predominantly determined using the weighted average method.

*Long-term investments:* We may hold marketable securities and equity investments, which we include in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Marketable securities are carried at fair value and we record changes in fair value to Other operating expense (income) in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Equity investments in companies for which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in Other non-operating (income) in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost, less impairments, if any, and adjusted for observable price changes for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. We perform a qualitative impairment assessment to determine if such investments are impaired, which considers all available information, including declines in the financial performance of the issuing entity, the issuing entity's operating environment and general market conditions. Impairments of equity securities without readily determinable fair value are recorded in Other non-operating (income) in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Equity investments in companies for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Our share of the earnings or losses reported by equity method investees is recognized in Other operating expense (income) in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Each reporting period, we evaluate declines in the fair value of equity method investments below carrying value to determine if any are other-than-temporary and if so, we write down the investment to its estimated fair value. Impairments are recognized in Restructuring/impairment charges and related adjustments in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

*Leases:* We determine if an arrangement contains a lease, as well as its classification as an operating lease or finance lease, at the inception of the agreement. Lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent Ingredion's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The lease asset value includes in our calculation any prepaid lease payments made and any lease incentives received from the arrangement as a reduction of the asset. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, and the impact of these options are included in the lease liability and lease asset calculations when the exercise of the option is at our sole discretion and it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. We do not separate lease and non-lease components for its leases

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

when it is impracticable to separate them, such as leases with variable payment arrangements. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We have operating leases for certain rail cars, office space, warehouses and machinery and equipment. The commencement date used for the calculation of the lease obligations recorded is the latter of January 1, 2019 or the lease start date. Certain leases have options to extend the life of the lease, which are included in the liability calculation when the option is at our sole discretion and it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. We have certain leases that have variable payments based solely on output or usage of the leased asset, which we do not record in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, but expense as incurred. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

*Property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets:* Property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and definite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For PP&E, depreciation is generally computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets, which range from 25 to 50 years for buildings and from two to 25 years for all other assets. Costs for mechanical stores represent costs for spare parts used in the production process that are capitalized in PP&E as part of machinery and equipment until they are utilized in the manufacturing process and expensed as a period cost. Where permitted by law, accelerated depreciation methods are used for tax purposes. For definite-lived intangible assets, we recognize the cost of these amortizable assets in operations over their estimated useful life, which range from two to 30 years. We review the recoverability of the net book value of PP&E and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. If this review indicates that the carrying values of the asset group will not be recovered, we reduce the carrying values to fair value and recognize an impairment loss. The impairment analysis for long-lived assets occurs before the goodwill impairment assessment described below.

*Indefinite-lived intangible assets and Goodwill*: We have certain indefinite-lived intangible assets in the form of tradenames and trademarks. Our methodology for allocating the purchase price of acquisitions is based on established valuation techniques that reflect the consideration of a number of factors, including valuations performed by third-party appraisers when appropriate. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value assigned to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We assess indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for impairment annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise), which we perform as of July 1 of each year.

In testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. After assessing the qualitative factors, if we determine that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is greater than its carrying amount, then we are not required to compute the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset. If the qualitative assessment leads us to conclude otherwise, then we are required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets and perform a quantitative impairment test. In performing the quantitative analysis, we consider various factors, including net sales derived from these intangibles and certain market and industry conditions.

In testing goodwill for impairment, we first assess qualitative factors in determining whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. After assessing the qualitative factors, if we determine that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then we do not perform an impairment test. If we conclude otherwise, then we perform an impairment test that compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is not considered impaired, and no further testing is required. If the carrying value of the net assets exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then an impairment exists for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the reporting unit. This difference is not to exceed the goodwill recorded at the reporting unit.

*Hedging instruments:* We use derivative financial instruments consisting primarily of commodity futures, swaps and option contracts, forward currency contracts and options, interest rate swap agreements and Treasury lock agreements ("T-Locks").

When we enter a derivative contract, we designate the derivative as a hedge of variable cash flows to be paid related to certain forecasted transactions ("a cash flow hedge"), as a hedge of the fair value of certain firm commitments ("a fair value hedge"), or as a non-designated hedging instrument. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as cash flow or fair value hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. For all hedging relationships, we document the hedging relationships and our risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transactions, the hedging instrument, the hedged

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

item, the nature of the risk being hedged, how we will assess the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk, and a description of the method to measure ineffectiveness. We also formally assesses, both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative that is used in a hedging transactions is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows or fair values of hedged items. Unrealized gains and losses associated with marking cash flow hedging contracts to market (fair value) are recorded as a component of other comprehensive loss ("OCL").

We discontinue hedge accounting prospectively when it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur or when we determine that the designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate, since the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows or fair value of the originally intended hedged transaction. When we discontinue hedge accounting, we continue to carry the derivative on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at its fair value, but we recognize in earnings in the same line item affected by the originally intended hedged transaction any accumulated gains and losses that were included in AOCL in the period we determined the hedge to be ineffective, as well as future gains and losses of the derivative.

*Pension and other postretirement benefits*: All U.S. pension and postretirement benefit plans and most non-U.S. pension and postretirement benefit plans value the vested benefit obligation based on the actuarial present value of the vested benefits to which employees are currently entitled based on their expected date of separation or retirement.

For defined benefit plans, the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is presented within either Cost of sales or Operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of actuarial loss, amortization of prior service credit and settlement loss components of net periodic benefit cost are presented as Other non-operating (income) on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10 percent of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan assets are classified in AOCL, along with the related tax impact, and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost over the average remaining service period of a plan's active employees for active defined benefit pension plans and over the average remaining life of a plan's active employees for frozen defined benefit pension plans.

*Share-based compensation:* We have a stock incentive plan that provides for share-based employee compensation, including the granting of stock options, shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares to certain key employees. Compensation expense is generally recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis for all awards over the employee's vesting period or over a one-year required service period for certain retirement-eligible employees. We estimate a forfeiture rate at the time of certain grants, and we update the estimate throughout the vesting of certain awards within the amount of compensation costs recognized in each period.

*Earnings per common share:* Basic earnings per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income attributable to Ingredion by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is calculated using the treasury stock method, computed by dividing net income attributable to Ingredion by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and other instruments associated with long-term incentive compensation plans.

*Risks and uncertainties:* We operate domestically and internationally, and our business and assets in each country are subject to varying degrees of risk and uncertainty. We insure our business and assets in each country against insurable risks in a manner that we deem appropriate. Because of this geographic dispersion, we believe that a loss from a non-insured event in any one country would not have a material adverse effect on our operations as a whole. Additionally, we believe there is no significant concentration of risk with any single customer or supplier whose failure or non-performance would materially affect our results.

*New Accounting Standards*

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2020-04, *Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting*. The amendments in this update provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. We expect the impact to be insignificant to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, *Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations*. The amendments require buyers to disclose information about supplier finance programs that is sufficient to allow financial statement users to understand their nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period and potential magnitude. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. We expect the impact of this update will not be material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

**NOTE 2 – Acquisitions**

*PureCircle Non-Controlling Intere****sts***

During 2022, Ingredion purchased shares from minority shareholders in PureCircle Limited ("PureCircle") for $46 million. These purchases increased our ownership percentage in PureCircle from 75 percent as of December 31, 2021, to approximately 87 percent as of December 31, 2022.

*Other Acquisitions*

On December 1, 2022, we acquired a 65 percent controlling interest in Mannitab Pharma Specialties Private Limited ("Mannitab"), which is an Indian manufacturer of spray dried mannitol and fine grade mannitol, for $22 million. As the purchase accounting is not yet complete, we preliminarily recognized $22 million in Other assets. We will finalize the purchase accounting in 2023 and agreed to acquire the remaining outstanding shares of Mannitab over the next three years. Beginning at the acquisition date, our Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the preliminary effects of the acquisition and Mannitab's financial results, which we report on a one-month lag in our Asia-Pacific reportable business segment.

On August 1, 2022, we acquired Amishi Drugs and Chemicals Private Limited ("Amishi") for $7 million, which added $3 million of goodwill and intangible assets to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Amishi is an Indian manufacturer of chemically modified starch-based pharmaceutical excipients. Beginning at the acquisition date, our Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the preliminary effects of the acquisition and Amishi's financial results, which we report in our Asia-Pacific reportable business segment.

On April 1, 2021, we acquired KaTech, a privately held company headquartered in Germany. KaTech provides advanced texture and stabilization solutions to the food and beverage industry. To complete the closing, Ingredion made a total cash payment of $40 million, net of cash acquired, which we funded from cash on hand. The acquisition added $26 million of goodwill and intangible assets, as well as $14 million of tangible assets. Beginning at the acquisition date, our Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the effects of the acquisition and KaTech's financial results, which we report in our Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") reportable business segment.

On November 3, 2020, we fully acquired Verdient Foods, Inc. ("Verdient") by purchasing the remaining 80 percent of the outstanding shares. As a part of the acquisition, we also obtained land and buildings Verdient leased from a third party. Verdient is a Canada-based producer of pulse-based protein concentrates and flours from peas, lentils and fava beans for human food applications. To complete the closing, we made a total cash payment of CAD $33 million (USD $26 million), which we funded from cash on hand. Before the acquisition, Ingredion owned 20 percent of Verdient's outstanding shares, which we had reported as an equity method investment until we acquired the remaining shares. The acquisition of Verdient added $15 million of goodwill and $14 million of tangible assets assumed on the acquisition date of November 3, 2020. Beginning on that date, the financial results of Verdient are wholly consolidated into our North America business segment in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

On July 1, 2020, we acquired a 75 percent controlling interest in PureCircle, which is one of the leading producers and innovators of stevia sweeteners for global food and beverage industries. As described above, we own 87 percent of PureCircle as of December 31, 2022. To complete the closing, we made a total cash payment of $208 million, net of $14 million of cash acquired, which we funded from cash on hand. Beginning at the acquisition date, we wholly consolidate PureCircle's financial statements into our Asia-Pacific business segment in our Consolidated Financial Statements, and net income attributable to non-controlling interests that is deducted from our net income includes the portion of net income attributable to the remaining portion of PureCircle owned by non-controlling shareholders.

We incurred $1 million, $5 million and $11 million of pre-tax acquisition and integration costs in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, associated with our acquisitions. We did not present the pro-forma results of operations for any

------

*Amyris Joint Venture*

On June 1, 2021, we entered into an agreement with Amyris, Inc. ("Amyris") for certain exclusive commercialization rights to Amyris' rebaudioside M by fermentation product, the exclusive licensing of the product's manufacturing technology, and a 31 percent ownership stake in a joint venture for the products (the "Amyris joint venture"). In exchange, we contributed $28 million of total consideration, which included $10 million of cash, as well as non-exclusive intellectual property licenses and other consideration valued at $18 million. The transaction resulted in an $8 million gain recorded in Other operating expense (income), which included $18 million related to the non-exclusive intellectual property licenses, offset by the $10 million cash payment. Beginning June 1, 2021, we began accounting for the investment under the equity method.

*Argentina Joint Venture*

On February 12, 2021, we entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Grupo Arcor, an Argentine food company, to establish Ingrear Holding S.A. (the "Argentina joint venture"), a joint venture to operate five manufacturing facilities in Argentina to sell value-added ingredients to customers in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other industries in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. On August 2, 2021, we completed all closing conditions to combine the manufacturing facilities, finalize the transaction and formally establish the Argentina joint venture, which is managed by a jointly appointed team of executives and is accounted for under the equity method.

We exchanged certain assets and liabilities with a fair value of $71 million from our Argentina, Chile and Uruguay operations for 49 percent of the outstanding shares of the Argentina joint venture valued at $64 million, as well as $7 million of other consideration, including cash, from Grupo Arcor as of August 2, 2021. The transaction also resulted in an impairment charge for the transferred assets and liabilities more fully described in Note 5.

Beginning on the dates we entered into the agreements for equity method investees, our share of income from them is included in Other operating expense (income). We incurred $4 million and $6 million of pre-tax acquisition and integration costs to acquire the Argentina and Amyris joint venture investments in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The 2022 charges were recorded within Financing costs on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

**NOTE 5 – Restructuring and Impairment Charges**

We recorded net pre-tax restructuring and impairment charges of $4 million, $387 million and $93 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

*Restructuring Charges*

During 2022, we recorded $4 million of pre-tax restructuring related charges, which included $3 million of costs associated with our Cost Smart selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") program and $1 million of costs as part of our Cost Smart Cost of sales program.

During 2021, we recorded a total of $47 million of pre-tax restructuring related charges. We recorded pre-tax net restructuring charges of $27 million as part of our Cost Smart Cost of sales program, which primarily consisted of accelerated depreciation and other costs recorded in our North America segment. We also recorded $17 million of employee-related and other costs associated with our Cost Smart SG&A program, consisting of professional services and employee-related severance costs primarily in our North America and EMEA segments.

During 2020, we recorded a total of $48 million of pre-tax restructuring charges. We recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $25 million for our Cost Smart SG&A program, which were primarily for employee-related severance costs recorded in our North America and EMEA segments, professional services costs in our North America segment and other costs. We also recorded $23 million of pre-tax restructuring charges for our Cost Smart Cost of sales program, which were primarily for inventory and mechanical stores write-offs and other costs associated with the closure of our Lane Cove, Australia production facility and closures of North America facilities and product lines including our Berwick, Pennsylvania manufacturing facility and the cessation of ethanol production at our Cedar Rapids, Iowa facility.

The Cost Smart Cost of sales and Cost Smart SG&A programs began in 2018. During 2018 and 2019, we recorded a total of $78 million of pre-tax restructuring charges for our Cost Smart Cost of sales program and a total of $39 million for our Cost Smart SG&A program.

*Impairment Charges*

During 2021, we recorded a $340 million impairment charge for assets and liabilities we contributed to the Argentina joint venture, which consisted of $311 million related to the write-off of the cumulative translation losses associated with the contributed net assets and $29 million related to the final write-down of the contributed net assets to fair value.

During 2020, we recorded a $35 million impairment charge for our indefinite-lived intangible asset associated with the TIC Gums tradename due to our decision to change our marketing strategy related to the brand. Additionally, we recorded a $10 million other-than-temporary impairment of our equity method investment in Verdient when we agreed to acquire the remaining 80 percent interest in Verdient.

**NOTE 6 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities**

We are exposed to market risk stemming from changes in commodity prices (primarily corn and natural gas), foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal course of business, we actively manage our exposure to these market risks by entering various hedging transactions authorized under established policies that place controls on these activities. These transactions utilize exchange-traded derivatives or over-the-counter derivatives with investment grade counterparties. We use derivative financial instruments that consist of commodity-related futures, options and swap contracts, foreign currency-related forward contracts, interest rate swaps and treasury locks ("T-Locks").

*Commodity price hedging*: Our principal use of derivative financial instruments is to manage commodity price risk relating to anticipated purchases of corn and natural gas that we intend to use in the manufacturing process, generally over the next 12 to 24 months. We maintain a commodity-price risk management strategy that uses derivative instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by commodity-price volatility. To manage price risk related to corn purchases primarily in North America, we use corn futures and option contracts that trade on regulated commodity exchanges to lock in corn costs associated with fixed-priced customer sales contracts. We use soybean oil and

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

soybean meal futures contracts in North America that trade on regulated commodity exchanges to hedge sales of our co-products. We also use over-the-counter natural gas swaps primarily in North America to hedge a portion of our natural gas usage. These derivative financial instruments limit the impact that volatility resulting from fluctuations in market prices will have on corn and natural gas purchases, as well as co-product sales. Our natural gas, soybean meal and the majority of our corn and soybean oil derivatives have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments.

For certain corn derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, all realized and unrealized gains and losses from these instruments are recognized in Cost of sales during each accounting period. We enter these derivative instruments to further mitigate commodity price risk related to anticipated purchases of corn. During 2022, 2021 and 2020, we recognized a $1 million gain, a $1 million loss and a $1 million gain, respectively, on non-designated commodity contracts.

For commodity hedges designated as cash flow hedges, unrealized gains and losses associated with marking the commodity hedging contracts to market (fair value) are recorded as a component of OCL and included in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets as part of AOCL. These amounts, as well as their related tax effects, are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same line item affected by the hedged transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings, or in the period a hedge is determined to be ineffective. We assess 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. Gains and losses from cash flow hedging instruments reclassified from AOCL to earnings are reported as Cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

We had outstanding futures and option contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 120 million and 135 million bushels of corn as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Ingredion also had outstanding swap contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 31 million and 35 million mmbtus of natural gas as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

*Foreign currency hedging*: Due to our global operations, including operations in many emerging markets, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As a result, we have exposure to translational foreign-exchange risk when the results of our foreign operations are translated to U.S. dollars and to transactional foreign-exchange risk when transactions not denominated in the functional currency are revalued. Our foreign-exchange risk management strategy uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and options to manage our transactional foreign exchange risk. We enter into foreign currency derivative instruments that are designated as both cash flow hedging instruments as well as instruments not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes in order to mitigate transactional foreign-exchange risk. Gains and losses from derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes are marked to market in earnings during each period.

We hedge certain assets using foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $405 million and $360 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We also hedge certain liabilities using foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $239 million and $205 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

We hedge certain assets using foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $668 million and $505 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We also hedge certain liability positions using foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $840 million and $708 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

*Interest rate hedging*: We assess our exposure to variability in interest rates by identifying and monitoring changes in interest rates that may adversely impact future cash flows and the fair value of existing debt instruments and by evaluating hedging opportunities. Our risk management strategy is to monitor interest rate risk attributable to both our outstanding and forecasted debt obligations as well as our offsetting hedge positions. Derivative financial instruments that we have used to manage its interest rate risk consist of interest rate swaps and T-Locks.

We periodically enter into interest rate swaps to hedge our exposure to interest rate changes. The changes in 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 gains or losses (the changes in fair value) of the hedged debt instruments that are attributable to changes in interest rates (the hedged risk), which are also recognized in earnings. Ingredion did not have any outstanding interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

We periodically enter into T-Locks to hedge our exposure to interest rate changes. The T-Locks are designated as hedges of the variability in cash flows associated with future interest payments caused by market fluctuations in the benchmark interest rate until the fixed interest rate is established and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the T-Locks are recorded to AOCL until the consummation of the underlying debt offering, at which time any realized gain (loss) is amortized to earnings over the life of the debt. During 2020, we entered into and settled T-Locks associated with the issuance of senior notes due in 2030 and 2050. The realized loss upon settlement of the T-Locks was recorded in AOCL and is amortized into earnings over the term of the senior notes. We did not have outstanding T-Locks as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2022, AOCL included $14 million of net gains (net of income taxes of $5 million) on commodities-related derivative instruments, T-Locks and foreign currency hedges designated as cash flow hedges that are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months.

**NOTE 7 – Fair Value Measurements**

We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, we use various valuation approaches. The hierarchy of those valuation approaches is in three levels based on the reliability of inputs. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Below is a summary of the hierarchy levels:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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 are based on 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are 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.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are presented below:

The carrying values of cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate fair values. Commodity futures, options and swaps contracts are recognized at fair value. Foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and options are also recognized at fair value. The fair value of our Long-term debt is estimated based on quotations of major securities dealers who are market makers in the securities. See Note 11 for information on the fair value of pension plan assets.

**NOTE 8 – Financing Arrangements**

We had total debt outstanding of approximately $2.5 billion and $2.0 billion at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Short-term borrowings at December 31, 2022, consisted primarily of commercial paper borrowings and amounts outstanding under various unsecured local country operating lines of credit.

On December 16, 2022, we entered into a new two-year, senior, unsecured $200 million term loan, which bears interest, payable quarterly in arrears, at a variable annual rate based on an adjusted daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin of 1.10 percent per annum. The term loan will mature and all principal thereunder will be payable on December 16, 2024. The term loan agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other matters, specify customary reporting obligations, and that, subject to exceptions, restrict the incurrence of additional indebtedness by our subsidiaries, the incurrence of liens and the consummation of certain mergers, consolidations and sales of assets. We are subject to compliance, as of the end of each quarter, with a maximum leverage ratio of 3.5 to 1.0 and a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense of 3.5 to 1.0, with each financial covenant calculated for the most recently completed four-quarter period. We were in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of December 31, 2022.

On November 30, 2022, we amended our existing revolving credit agreement. The amendment changed the applicable interest rate calculation under our revolving credit facility to either a specified SOFR plus an applicable margin, or a base rate (generally determined according to the highest of the prime rate, the federal funds rate or the specified SOFR plus 1.00 percent) plus an applicable margin. The revolving credit agreement previously referenced London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") instead of SOFR for applicable interest calculations under the facility. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, borrowings of $— and $—, respectively, were outstanding under the $1 billion facility.

On July 27, 2021, we established a commercial paper program under which we may issue senior unsecured notes of short maturities up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1 billion outstanding at any time. The notes may be sold from time to time on customary terms in the U.S. commercial paper market. We use the note proceeds for general corporate purposes. From the inception of the program until December 31, 2021, the average amount of commercial paper outstanding was $670 million with an average interest rate of 0.27 percent and a weighted average maturity of 48 days. As of December 31, 2021, $250 million of commercial paper was outstanding with an average interest rate of 0.35 percent and a weighted average maturity of 48 days. During 2022, the average amount of commercial paper outstanding was $522 million with an average interest rate of 1.97 percent and a weighted average maturity of 16 days. As of December 31, 2022, $390 million of commercial paper was outstanding with an average interest rate of 4.75 percent and a weighted average maturity of 7 days. The amount of commercial paper outstanding under this program in 2023 is expected to fluctuate.

Of the $59 million of tax-effected net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2022, $4 million and $15 million are for U.S. federal and state loss carryforwards, respectively, and $40 million are for foreign loss carryforwards. U.S. federal and state loss carryforwards have various expiration periods starting in 2025. Of the $40 million of foreign loss carryforwards, $19 million are related to Canada, $7 million to Argentina and $7 million to Australia with carryforward periods of 20 years, 5 years and indefinitely, respectively.

A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Prior to establishing a valuation allowance, we consider historical taxable income, scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies, tax carryovers and projected future taxable income. As of December 31, 2022, we maintained valuation allowances of $51 million, consisting of $26 million primarily related to foreign loss carryforwards, $15 million for state loss carryforwards, $5 million for state credits and carryforwards, $4 million for U.S. federal loss carryforwards and $1 million for certain foreign tax credits, all of which we have determined will more likely than not expire prior to realization.

Net operating loss carryforwards disclosed in the financial statements differ from the as-filed tax returns due to an unrecognized tax benefit. Foreign net operating loss carryforwards and valuation allowances would increase $10 million, absent the unrecognized tax benefit.

We have significant operations in Mexico, Pakistan and Colombia, where the 2022 statutory tax rates are 30 percent, 33 percent (excluding a 4 percent surcharge) and 35 percent, respectively. In addition, our subsidiary in Brazil has a statutory tax rate of 34 percent before the application of local incentives that vary each year.

During 2022, the U.S. Treasury published final foreign tax credit regulations that limit our ability to claim foreign tax credits from certain countries, primarily in South America, and we recorded the resulting tax liability to our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During 2022, Ingredion Brazil recorded a tax benefit related to the exclusion of certain tax incentives provided by the local government from taxable income for fiscal years 2018 through 2022. This resulted in a tax benefit of $27 million, or 4.0 percentage points on the effective tax rate. This transaction is more fully discussed in Note 14 Commitments and Contingencies.

As of December 31, 2022, we have a $1 million accrual for foreign withholding on certain unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries. No foreign withholding taxes, federal and state taxes or foreign currency gains/losses have been provided on distributions of approximately $2.4 billion of unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, as such amounts are considered permanently reinvested. It is not practicable to estimate the additional income taxes, including applicable foreign withholding taxes that would be due upon the repatriation of these earnings.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, for 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **(in millions)** | **2022** | **2021** |
| Balance at January 1 | $29 | $46 |
| Additions for tax positions related to prior years | 5 | 2 |
| Reductions for tax positions related to prior years | (1) | (9) |
| Additions based on tax positions related to the current year | 1 | 2 |
| Reductions related to a lapse in the statute of limitations | (4) | (12) |
| Balance at December 31 | $30 | $29 |

---

Of the $30 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022, $19 million represents the amount that, if recognized, could affect the effective tax rate in future periods. The remaining $11 million includes $10 million of net operating loss carryforwards that would have otherwise had a valuation allowance and $1 million of U.S. federal benefits.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

We account for interest and penalties related to income tax matters within the provision for income taxes. We have accrued $5 million of interest expense and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022.

We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple states and non-U.S. jurisdictions. The U.S. federal tax returns are subject to audit for the years 2019 through 2022. In general, our foreign subsidiaries remain subject to audit for years 2010 and later.

It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits including interest and penalties will increase or decrease within twelve months of December 31, 2022. We believe it is reasonably possible that none of the unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized within twelve months of December 31, 2022, as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations. We have classified none of the unrecognized tax benefits as current because they are not expected to be resolved within the next twelve months.

**NOTE 11 – Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits**

We sponsor noncontributory defined benefit pension plans (qualified and non-qualified) covering a substantial portion of our employees in the U.S. and Canada and certain employees in other foreign countries. Plans for most salaried employees provide pay-related benefits based on years of service. Plans for hourly employees generally provide benefits based on flat dollar amounts and years of service. Our general funding policy is to make contributions to the plans that comply with minimum funding requirements and are within the limits of deductibility under current tax regulations. Certain foreign countries allow income tax deductions without regard to contribution levels and our policy in those countries is to make contributions required by the terms of the applicable plan.

Included in our pension obligation are nonqualified supplemental retirement plans for certain key employees. Benefits provided under these plans are unfunded and we make direct payments to plan participants. We also provide healthcare and/or life insurance benefits for retired employees in the U.S., Canada and Brazil. Healthcare benefits for retirees outside the U.S., Canada and Brazil are generally covered through local government plans.

As of December 31, 2022, the decrease in the benefit obligation for U.S. and non-U.S. plans was primarily driven by actuarial gains, which mainly resulted from an increase in discount rates compared to the prior year. As of December 31, 2021, the decrease in the benefit obligation for U.S. and non-U.S. plans was primarily driven by actuarial gains, which mainly resulted from an increase in discount rates due to an increase in bond yields compared to the prior year.

Amounts recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

---

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

Amounts recorded in AOCL, excluding tax effects that have not yet been recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost at December 31, 2022 and 2021, were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **U.S. Plans** | **U.S. Plans** | **Non-U.S. Plans** | **Non-U.S. Plans** |

| Transition obligation |  |  |  |  |
| Prior service (credit) cost | (3) | (4) |  |  |
| Net amount recognized | $33 | $7 | $24 | $38 |

---

The amount recognized in AOCL at December 31, 2022 increased compared to prior year for the U.S. pension plans mainly due to the actual return on assets being less than the expected return on assets, which was partially offset by the increase in discount rates used to measure our obligations under our U.S. pension. The decrease in the net amount recognized in AOCL at December 31, 2022 for the non-U.S. pension plans as compared to December 31, 2021 was primarily due to higher discount rates used to measure our obligations.

The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $469 million and $619 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Information for pension plans with a projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets and an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets was as follows:

For 2022, we assumed an expected long-term rate of return on assets of 4.10 percent for U.S. plans and 3.06 percent for Canadian plans. In developing the expected long-term rate of return assumption on plan assets, which consist mainly of U.S. and Canadian debt and equity securities, we evaluated historical rates of return achieved on plan assets and the asset allocation of the plans, input from our independent actuaries and investment consultants, and historical trends in long-term inflation rates. Projected return estimates are based upon broad equity and bond indices.

The discount rate reflects a rate of return on high-quality fixed income investments that match the duration of the expected benefit payments. We typically use returns on long-term, high-quality corporate AA bonds as a benchmark in establishing this assumption, and we elect to use a full yield curve approach to estimate these components of benefit cost by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used to determine the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows.

*Plan Assets:* Our investment policy for our pension plans is to balance risk and return through diversified portfolios of fixed income securities, equity instruments and short-term investments. Maturities for fixed income securities are managed such that sufficient liquidity exists to meet near-term benefit payment obligations. For U.S. pension plans, the weighted average target range allocation of assets was 9 to 19 percent in equities and 81 to 91 percent in fixed income inclusive of other short-term investments. The asset allocation is reviewed regularly, and portfolio investments are rebalanced to the targeted allocation when considered appropriate.

Our weighted average asset allocations as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, for U.S. and non-U.S. pension plan assets are as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **U.S. Plans** | **U.S. Plans** | **Non-U.S. Plans** | **Non-U.S. Plans** |
|<br>**Asset Category** | **2022** | **2021** | **2022** | **2021** |
| Equity securities | 11% | 14% | 8% | 18% |

| Cash and other | 2 | 1 | 15 | 25 |
| Total | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |

---

With the exception of cash, which is considered Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, all significant pension plan assets are held in collective trusts by our U.S. and non-U.S. plans. The fair value of shares of collective trusts are based upon the net asset value ("NAV") of the fund reported by the fund managers based on quoted market prices of the underlying securities as of the balance sheet date and are considered to be Level 2 fair value measurements. Investments measured at NAV, as a practical expedient for fair value, are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. This may produce a fair value measurement that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

while we believe our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those of other market participants, the use of different methodologies could result in different fair value measurements at the reporting date.

During 2022, we made cash contributions of $1 million and $5 million to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively. Ingredion anticipates that in 2023 we will make cash contributions of $1 million and $3 million to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively. Cash contributions in subsequent years will depend on a number of factors, including the performance of plan assets.

The following benefit payments to beneficiaries, which reflect anticipated future service, as appropriate, are expected to be made in the following years:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **(in millions)** | **U.S. Plans** | **Non-U.S. Plans** |

| 2026 | 25 | 13 |
| 2027 | 26 | 14 |
| Years 2028 - 2032 | 115 | 78 |

---

We also maintain defined contribution plans. We make matching contributions to these plans that are subject to certain vesting requirements and are based on a percentage of employee contributions. Amounts charged to expense for defined contribution plans totaled $22 million for each of 2022, 2021 and 2020.

*Postretirement Benefit Plans*

Our postretirement benefit plans currently are not funded. The information presented below includes plans in the U.S., Brazil and Canada. The changes in the benefit obligations of the plans during 2022 and 2021, as well as the amounts recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2022 and 2021, are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **(in millions)** | **2022** | **2021** |
| Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation |  |  |
| At January 1 | $65 | $68 |

| Foreign currency translation |  | (1) |
| At December 31 | 58 | 65 |
| Fair value of plan assets |  |  |
| Funded status | $(58) | $(65) |

---

As of December 31, 2022, the decrease in the postretirement benefit obligation was mainly driven by higher discount rates. As of December 31, 2021, the decrease in the postretirement benefit obligation was mainly driven by higher actuarial gains, partially offset by a $4 million amendment and favorable foreign currency translation related to Ingredion's Canada and Brazil postretirement plans. The North Kansas City retiree medical group shifted from a multi-employer plan to the Ingredion Post Retirement Medical Health and Life Plan at the end of 2021, causing an increase to the postretirement obligation of $4 million in 2021.

Amounts recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2022 and 2021 consist of:

| | **2022** | **2021** | **2020** |
| Discount rate | 4.22% | 3.69% | 4.42% |

---

The discount rate reflects a rate of return on high-quality fixed-income investments that match the duration of expected benefit payments. We typically use returns on long-term, high-quality corporate AA bonds as a benchmark in establishing this assumption.

*Multi-employer Plan*

Ingredion participates in and contributes to one multi-employer benefit plan under the terms of collective bargaining agreements that cover certain union-represented employees and retirees in the U.S. The plan covers medical and dental benefits for active hourly employees and retirees represented by the United Steelworkers Union for certain U.S. locations. The risks of participating in this multi-employer plan are different from single-employer plans. This plan receives contributions from two or more unrelated employers pursuant to one or more collective bargaining agreements, and the assets contributed by one employer may be used to fund the benefits of all employees covered within the plan.

We are required to make contributions to this multi-employer plan as determined by the terms and conditions of the collective bargaining agreements and plan terms, but we do not provide more than five percent of the total contributions to the plan. For 2022, 2021 and 2020, we made regular contributions of $10 million, $14 million and $14 million, respectively, to the plan. We cannot currently estimate the amount of multi-employer plan contributions that will be required in 2023 and future years, but these contributions could increase due to healthcare cost trends. As described above, the North Kansas City retiree medical group shifted from a multi-employer plan to the U.S. postretirement benefit plan at the end of 2021. The remaining collective bargaining agreements associated with the multi-employer plan expire during 2023 through 2025.

**NOTE 12 – Equity**

*Preferred stock:* We have authorized 25 million shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock, none of which were issued or outstanding at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

*Treasury stock:* On September 26, 2022, the Board of Directors terminated the stock repurchase program it had previously authorized on October 22, 2018, which permitted us to purchase up to 8 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from November 5, 2018 through December 31, 2023. As of the date of termination, the 2018 repurchase program had approximately 3.8 million shares of common stock remaining for repurchase.

On September 26, 2022, the Board of Directors contemporaneously approved a new stock repurchase program to authorize us to purchase up to 6 million shares of our outstanding common stock from September 26, 2022 through December 31, 2025. We may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at prices we deem appropriate. We are not obligated to repurchase any shares under the authorization, and the new repurchase program may be suspended, discontinued or modified at any time, for any reason and without notice. The parameters of our stock repurchase program are not established solely with reference to the dilutive impact of shares issued

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

under our stock incentive plan. However, we expect that, over time, share repurchases will offset the dilutive impact of shares issued under the stock incentive plan.

During 2022, we repurchased 1,283 thousand shares of common stock in open market transactions at a net cost of $112 million. During 2021, we repurchased 765 thousand shares of common stock in open market transactions at a net cost of $68 million.

We have a stock incentive plan ("SIP") administered by the People, Culture and Compensation Committee ("Compensation Committee") of our Board of Directors that provides for the granting of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other share-based awards to certain key employees. A maximum of 8 million shares were originally authorized for awards under the SIP. On May 19, 2021, our stockholders approved an increase in the number of shares then available under the SIP by 2.5 million shares. As of December 31, 2022, 3.1 million shares were available for future grants under the SIP. Shares covered by awards that expire, terminate or lapse will again be available for the grant of awards under the SIP.

*Stock Options:* Under the SIP, 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 over a three-year period at the anniversary dates of the date of grant.

We granted non-qualified options to purchase 281 thousand, 358 thousand and 336 thousand shares for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The fair value of each option grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

For 2022, 2021 and 2020, cash received from the exercise of stock options was $11 million, $21 million and $6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options totaled $3 million, which is expected to be amortized over the weighted-average period of approximately 1.7 years.

*Restricted Stock Units:* We have granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") to certain key employees. The RSUs are primarily subject to cliff vesting, generally after three years, provided the employee remains in our service. The fair value of the RSUs is determined based upon the number of shares granted and the quoted market price of our common stock at the grant date.

The following table summarizes RSU activity in 2022:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **(shares in thousands)** | **Number of<br>Restricted<br>Shares** | **Weighted<br>Average<br>Fair Value<br>per Share** |
| Non-vested at December 31, 2021 | 486 | $88.34 |
| Granted | 213 | 88.80 |
| Vested | (132) | 90.74 |
| Cancelled | (50) | 87.14 |
| Non-vested at December 31, 2022 | 517 | $88.04 |

---

The total fair value of RSUs that vested in 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $12 million, $12 million and $17 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2022, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs was $17 million, which will be amortized on a weighted-average basis over approximately 1.7 years. Recognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs is included in Share-based payments subject to redemption in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $28 million and $25 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

*Performance Shares:* We have a long-term incentive plan for senior management in the form of performance shares. The vesting of the performance shares is generally based on two performance metrics. Fifty percent of the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i801134c36c7f4e95bdea2869146606b3_7)</u>

performance shares awarded vest based on our total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of our peer group and the remaining fifty percent vest based on the calculation of our three-year average Adjusted Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC") against an established ROIC target. The 2021 performance shares were granted in two tranches. Vesting for the first tranche was split evenly between our total shareholder return and Adjusted ROIC against the applicable target. The second tranche of performance share awards vest 100 percent based on the calculation of Adjusted ROIC against the applicable target.

For the 2022 performance shares awarded based on our total shareholder return, the number of shares that ultimately vest can range from zero to 200 percent of the grant depending on our total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of our peer group. The share award vesting will be calculated at the end of the three-year period and is subject to approval by management and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Compensation expense is based on the fair value of the performance shares at the grant date, established using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The total compensation expense for these awards is amortized over a three-year graded vesting schedule.

For the 2022 performance shares awarded based on Adjusted ROIC, the number of shares that ultimately vest can range from zero to 200 percent of the grant depending on our Adjusted ROIC performance against the target. The share award vesting will be calculated at the end of the three-year period and is subject to approval by management and the Compensation Committee. Compensation expense is based on the market price of our common stock on the grant date and the final number of shares that ultimately vest. We estimate the potential share vesting at least annually to adjust the compensation expense for these awards over the vesting period to reflect our estimated Adjusted ROIC performance against the target. The total compensation expense for these awards is amortized over a three-year graded vesting schedule.

We awarded 86 thousand, 108 thousand and 81 thousand performance shares in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The weighted average fair value of the shares granted during 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $138.85, $100.29 and $94.48, respectively.

The 2019 performance share awards that vested during 2022 achieved a zero percent payout of the granted performance shares. As of December 31, 2022, the 2020 performance share awards are estimated to pay out at 75 percent. Additionally, there were two thousand shares cancelled during 2022.

As of December 31, 2022, the unrecognized compensation cost relating to these plans was $8 million, which will be amortized over the remaining requisite service periods of 1.7 years. Recognized compensation cost related to these unvested awards is included in Share-based payments subject to redemption in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $20 million and $11 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

*Other share-based awards under the SIP:* Under the compensation agreement with the Board of Directors, $150,000 of a non-employee director's annual retainer and 50 percent of the additional retainers paid to the lead director and the chairs of committees of the Board of Directors are awarded in shares of common stock or, if a director elects to defer all or a portion of the director's common stock or cash compensation, in shares of restricted stock units. These restricted units may not be transferred until a date not less than six months after the director's termination of service from the Board of Directors, at which time the restricted units will be settled by delivering shares of common stock with fractional shares to be paid in cash. The compensation expense relating to this plan included in the Consolidated Statements of Income was approximately $2 million in each of 2022, 2021, and 2020. At December 31, 2022, there were approximately 230 thousand restricted stock units outstanding under this plan at a carrying value of approximately $15 million.

**NOTE 14 – Commitments and Contingencies**

In October 2022, the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice issued a motion of clarification that certain tax incentives provided by local governments can be excluded from taxable income. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we filed an action for a right to recover previously taxable, local government tax incentives granted during fiscal years 2018 to 2022. As our recovery is probable, we recorded a $27 million income tax benefit, which we expect to recover within five years.

In 2020, our Brazilian subsidiary received a favorable decision from the Federal Court of Appeals ("Lower Court") in Sao Paulo, Brazil, related to certain indirect taxes collected in prior years (referred as "Brazil indirect tax matters" in these financial statements). The Lower Court clarified the calculation of our benefit, allowing us to claim gross treatment within the indirect tax claim calculation and a larger indirect tax claim against the government. As a result of the decision, we recorded a $35 million pre-tax benefit in the Consolidated Income Statements in Other operating expense (income) in 2020 related to the open period of 2005 to 2014.

In May 2021, the Brazilian Supreme Court ("Court") issued its ruling related to the calculation of certain indirect taxes, which affirmed the Lower Court rulings that we had received in previous years and affirmed that we are entitled to the previously recorded tax credits. The Court ruling ensures that we will be entitled to $15 million of additional credits from the period of 2015 to 2018 that was previously unrecorded pending a final Court ruling. We recorded the $15 million of additional credits in 2021 within Other operating expense (income) in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $17 million and $41 million, respectively, of remaining indirect tax credits recorded in Other assets and Prepaid expenses on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These credits resulted in $— and $5 million of a deferred tax liability as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We will use the income tax offsets to eliminate our Brazilian federal tax payments in 2023 and future years, including the income tax payable for the indirect taxes recovered.

We are currently subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business, including labor matters, certain environmental proceedings and other commercial claims. We also routinely receive inquiries from regulators and other government authorities relating to various aspects of our business, including with respect to compliance with laws and regulations relating to the environment, and at any given time, we have matters at various stages of resolution with the applicable governmental authorities. The outcomes of these matters are not within our complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. We do not believe that the results of currently known legal proceedings and inquires will be material to us. There can be no assurance, however, that such proceedings, matters, claims, suits or investigations or those arising in the future, whether taken individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

None.

**ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

*<u>Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures</u>*

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures (a) are effective in providing reasonable assurance that all information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and (b) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

*<u>Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting</u>*

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. This system of internal control is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and processes that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the U.S., and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only with proper authorizations of our management and directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and the oversight of the Board of Directors, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 based upon the framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in *Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).* The scope of the assessment included all of the subsidiaries of Ingredion. Based on the evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included in the Consolidated Financial Statements filed with this report.

Under guidelines established by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, companies are allowed to exclude acquisitions from their first assessment of internal control over financial reporting following the date of the acquisition. Management's evaluation of internal control over financial reporting excluded the internal controls of Amishi and Mannitab. Total assets and total net sales recorded since the respective acquisition dates were each less than 1 percent of Ingredion's net sales and total assets, included in our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

## Exhibit 3.2

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**EXHIBIT 3.2**

**AMENDED AND RESTATED BY-LAWS <br>OF**

**INGREDION INCORPORATED**

**(**the "Corporation"**)**

____________________________

**ARTICLE I**

**Offices**

SECTION 1.The registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware shall be in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, and the name of the registered agent of the Corporation in said State is The Corporation Trust Company. The Corporation may also have an office or offices other than said registered office at such place or places either within or without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate or as the business of the Corporation may require.

**ARTICLE II**

**Seal**

SECTION 1.The seal of the Corporation shall be circular in form and shall have the name of the Corporation and the words and numerals "Corporate Seal 1997 Delaware."

**ARTICLE III**

**Meetings of Stockholders**

<br> SECTION 1. *Annual Meeting.* The annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation shall be held on such date as the Board of Directors (the "Board") may designate, and at such time and place as the Board may designate, for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting in accordance with these amended and restated by-laws of the Corporation (as amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof, these "By-laws"). The Board may, in its sole discretion, (a) determine that stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication, participate in the meeting, be deemed present and vote at such meeting or (b) determine that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication, in each case, in accordance with Section 211(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the "DGCL"). The Board may postpone, reschedule and/or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board.

SECTION 2. *Special Meetings*. Except as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, special meetings of the stockholders may be called only on the order of the Chairman of the Board, Lead Director, or the Board and shall be held at such date, time and place as may be specified by such order. The Board may, in its sole discretion, (a) determine that stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication, participate in the meeting, be deemed present and vote at such meeting or (b) determine that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication, in each case, in accordance with Section 211(a) of the DGCL. At a special meeting of stockholders, only such business shall be conducted (i) as shall be specified in the Corporation's notice of meeting, and the Board shall have the exclusive authority to determine the business included in such notice or (ii) otherwise properly brought before the special meeting, by or at the direction of the Board; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Board from submitting additional matters to stockholders at any such special meeting. The Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Lead Director may postpone, reschedule and/or cancel any special meeting of stockholders.

SECTION 3.*Election of Directors.* Each director to be elected by stockholders shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to the director at any meeting for

![image_0d.jpg](image_0d.jpg)

------

the election of directors at which a quorum is present by the holders of shares present in person, present by means of authorized remote communication (if any) or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors; provided that if the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. For purposes of this Section 3, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted "for" a director must exceed 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to that director's election. Votes cast shall include votes "for" or "against" and votes to withhold authority and exclude abstentions and "broker non-votes" with respect to that director's election. If directors are to be elected by a plurality, stockholders shall be permitted to withhold votes from a nominee but shall not be permitted to vote against a nominee.

If at any meeting for the election of directors a nominee for director who is an incumbent director is not elected and no successor has been elected at such meeting, the director shall promptly tender to the Board his or her offer of resignation as a director. Such resignation shall be made subject to the Board's acceptance. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee shall make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the tendered offer of resignation, or whether other action should be taken. In determining whether to accept or reject the tendered offer of resignation, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee shall be entitled to consider all factors believed relevant by the members of such Committee, including without limitation: (1) any stated reason for the director not receiving the required vote and whether the underlying cause or causes are curable, (2) the factors, if any, set forth in the guidelines or other policies that are to be considered by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee in evaluating potential candidates for the Board as such factors relate to each director who has offered his or her resignation, (3) the length of service of such director, (4) the effect of such resignation on the Corporation's compliance with any law, rule, regulation, stock exchange listing standards or contractual obligations, (5) such director's contributions to the Corporation, and (6) any other factors that the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee deems to be in the best interests of the Corporation. No director who has tendered his or her offer of resignation may participate in the Committee's recommendation. If all of the members of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee have tendered their offers of resignation, then the Board shall act on the offers of resignation.

The Board shall act on the tendered offers of resignation, taking into account the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, and shall publicly disclose (by press release, a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other broadly disseminated means of communication) its decision regarding the tendered offers of resignation and the rationale behind the decision within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results. In determining whether to accept or reject any offer of resignation, the Board shall be entitled to consider all of the factors considered by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and any additional information and factors that the Board believes to be relevant. No director who has tendered his or her offer of resignation may participate in the Board's decision regarding whether to accept such resignation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the acceptance by the Board of all of the then pending offers of resignation would result in the Corporation having fewer than a majority of the directors who were in office prior to the applicable election, the Board may elect to extend such 90- day period by an additional 90 days if the Board shall determine that such an extension is in the best interests of the Corporation.

If any incumbent director's offer of resignation is not accepted by the Board, such director shall continue to serve until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, subject to such director's earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. If a director's offer of resignation is accepted by the Board pursuant to this Section 3, or if a nominee for director is not elected and the nominee is not an incumbent director, then the Board, in its sole discretion, may fill any resulting vacancy pursuant to the provisions of Section 223 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or may decrease the size of the Board pursuant to the provisions of the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation.

------

SECTION 4.*Notice.* Notice, in writing or by electronic transmission, of all meetings of the stockholders, shall be mailed or otherwise given as permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware to each stockholder not less than twenty nor more than sixty days before the meeting. The notice or an accompanying document shall identify the business to be transacted at the meeting and, if directors are to be elected, the candidates therefor, as determined by the Board of Directors. As used in these By-laws, the term "electronic transmission" shall mean any kind of electronic transmission or other form of remote communication that is permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware.

SECTION 5.*Stockholder Nominations and Proposals.* Nominations of persons for election or reelection to the Board and the proposal of business other than nominations to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (and not any special meeting of stockholders) only: (i) pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) with respect to such annual meeting given by or at the direction of the Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof), (ii) otherwise properly brought before such annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof), (iii) by any stockholder of the Corporation in accordance with this Section 5 or (iv) by an eligible stockholder with respect to the nomination of a director for election pursuant to and in compliance with Section 6 of Article III of these By-laws. This Section 5 sets forth certain procedures for stockholders to nominate persons for election to the Board of Directors to be considered by the stockholders at an annual meeting of stockholders if the stockholder does not wish the nomination to be included in the Corporation's proxy statement and certain procedures for stockholders to propose any other business at an annual meeting of stockholders. Any stockholder who wishes to include nominations for the election of directors in the Corporation's proxy statement for an annual meeting of stockholders must comply with Section 6 of this Article III. This Section 5 and Section 6 of this Article III are the sole means for stockholders to nominate persons for election to the Board of Directors or to propose other business to be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than the proposal of other business as provided by Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the "Exchange Act").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Any stockholder of the Corporation (x) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 5 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (y) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 5 may nominate candidates for director to be voted upon at, or propose other business to be considered at, the annual meeting (but not at any special meeting), only if the Secretary of the Corporation has received from such stockholder at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety nor more than one hundred twenty days in advance of the date which is the anniversary of the date of the previous year's annual meeting or, if the date of the applicable annual meeting is more than thirty days prior to, or more than sixty days after, the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year's annual meeting or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, not less than ninety days before the date of the applicable annual meeting, or, if later, the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting, whichever occurs first, a written notice of such nomination or other business in proper form and, in the case of business other than nominations, such business must be a proper matter for stockholder action. In no event shall the adjournment, recess, postponement, judicial stay or rescheduling of an annual meeting (or the public disclosure thereof) commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of notice as described above.

A stockholder shall "Own" shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the stockholder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares.

A stockholder's Ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the stockholder has loaned such shares provided that the stockholder has the power to recall such loaned shares within five business days' notice. The terms "Owned," "Owning" and other variations of the word "Own" shall have correlative meanings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii)"Stock Exchange Rules" shall mean the rules of any stock exchange on which the Corporation's securities are traded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Proxy Access at Annual Meeting</u>. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6, if expressly requested in the relevant Nomination Notice, the Corporation shall include in its proxy statement for any annual meeting of stockholders:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the name of any Stockholder Nominee, which shall also be included on the Corporation's form of proxy and ballot*;*

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6 shall not apply to a special meeting of stockholders, and the Corporation shall not be required to include a director nominee of a stockholder or group of stockholders in the Corporation's proxy statement or form of proxy or ballot for any special meeting of stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Maximum Number of Stockholder Nominees</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)The Corporation shall not be required to include in the proxy statement for an annual meeting of stockholders more Stockholder Nominees than the Maximum Number. In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the Board of Directors after the deadline set forth in Section 6(e) but before the date of the annual meeting and the Board of Directors resolves to reduce the size of the board in connection therewith, the Maximum Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced. The Maximum Number for a particular annual meeting shall be reduced by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Stockholder Nominees whose nominations for election at such annual meeting are subsequently withdrawn*;*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Any Nominating Stockholder submitting more than one Stockholder Nominee for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy materials pursuant to this Section 6 shall rank such Stockholder Nominees based on the order that the Nominating Stockholder desires such Stockholder Nominees to be selected for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy materials. In the event that the number of Stockholder Nominees submitted by Nominating Stockholders pursuant to this Section 6 exceeds the Maximum Number, the highest ranking Stockholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section 6 from each Nominating Stockholder will be selected for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy materials until the Maximum Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of shares of the stock of the Corporation each Nominating Stockholder Owns, as disclosed in its respective Nomination Notice submitted to the Corporation. This selection process will continue with the next highest ranked nominees as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Maximum Number is reached.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Eligible Stockholders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)An Eligible Stockholder or Nominator Group may submit a nomination in accordance with this Section 6 only if the person or group (in the aggregate) has continuously Owned at least the Minimum Number (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends or similar events) of shares of the Corporation's common stock throughout the three-year period preceding and including the date of submission of the Nomination Notice, and continues to Own at least the Minimum Number of shares through the date of the annual meeting.

The Nomination Notice shall consist of, collectively, the following information, documents and agreements which shall, for avoidance of doubt, be compiled, completed and submitted by the Nominating Stockholder or its representatives at its own cost:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5 *Committee's Sole Authority with Respect to Executive Officers; Amendment or Termination of Plan*.

The Committee's authority under this paragraph 2.5 is subject to review and approval by the Board of directors of the Company.

3.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Eligibility for Bonus Payment.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Participant who (i) is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary who is employed on the date payment is made with respect to a Performance Period, or whose employment was terminated during the Performance Period due to retirement, disability or death, and (ii) was employed by the Company or any Subsidiary during at least three months of the Performance Period shall be eligible to receive a bonus payment for a Performance Period in an amount established by, or determined under the bonus formula established by, the Committee (for ELT Participants) and the Plan Administrative Committee (for all other Participants) for the Performance Period based on the attainment of the Performance Measure targets for the Performance Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A Participant who is otherwise eligible to receive a bonus payment for a Performance Period (as determined by the Committee (for ELT Participants) and the Plan Administrative Committee (for all other Participants)), but who was not actively employed during the entire Performance Period or who terminated due to retirement, death or disability, may be eligible to receive a prorated bonus payment for a Performance Period determined by multiplying the bonus amount that would have been payable to the Participant at target payout percentage had the Participant remained employed with the Company or applicable Subsidiary through the end of the applicable Performance Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the applicable Performance Period during which the Participant was actively employed by the Company, subject to and in accordance with rules established by the Committee (for ELT Participants) and the Plan Administrative Committee (for all other Participants).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything in this 3 or in any agreement, policy or guideline to the contrary, a Participant shall not be entitled to any amount hereunder for a Performance Period if the Participant's employment is terminated by the Company or affiliate for "Cause". For these purposes "Cause" shall mean the Participant's: (i) failure to comply with any material policies and procedures of the Company or affiliate; (ii) conduct reflecting dishonesty or disloyalty to the Company or affiliate, or which may have a negative impact on the reputation of the Company or affiliate; (iii) commission of a felony, theft or fraud, or violations of law involving moral turpitude; (iv) failure to perform the material duties of his or her employment; (v) excessive absenteeism; (vi) unethical behavior; or (vii) violation of a material policy of the Company or any affiliate. If a Participant's employment is terminated for "Cause," the date on which the Participant's employment is considered to be terminated, for purposes of this Section 3, shall be the time at which such Participant is instructed or notified to cease performing job responsibilities for the Company or any affiliate, whether or not for other reasons, such as payroll, benefits or compliance with legal procedures or requirements, he or she may still have other attributes of an employee. Any amount that becomes payable under the Plan by reason of the Participant's death shall be paid to the personal representative of the Participant's estate.

4.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Manner of Bonus Payments.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 *Time and Form of Payments.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The bonus payment to a Participant under the Plan for a Performance Period shall be paid to the Participant in cash as soon as determined by the Committee (for ELT Participants) and the Plan Administrative Committee (for all other Participants) after it has determined that the Performance Measure targets and all other factors upon which the bonus payment for the Participant is based have been attained; *provided*, *however*, that such payment shall not be made earlier than January 1 immediately following the calendar year in which the Performance Period ends or, with respect to U.S. Participants only, no later than March 15 immediately following the calendar year in which the Performance Period ends.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The pro rata bonus payment under the Plan to a Participant who terminates due to retirement or who was otherwise not actively employed during the entire Performance Period, other than termination due to death or disability, shall be paid at the same time that bonuses for such Performance Period are otherwise paid under the Plan to the Participants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The pro rata bonus payment under the Plan to a Participant who terminates due to death or disability shall be paid within 30 calendar days following the date of such termination.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2 *Nontransferability; Nonalienation.* No benefit payable at any time under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, levy, attachment, or encumbrance of any kind by any Participant or beneficiary, and the benefits provided hereunder shall not be subject to seizure for payment of any debts or judgments against any Participant or beneficiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3 *Tax Withholding.* In order to comply with all applicable U.S. Federal, state, local or other tax requirements (including non-U.S. taxes, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding) or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable Federal, state and Non-U.S. payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of a Participant, are withheld or collected from such Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.4 *Forfeiture*. All bonus amounts paid hereunder to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company under this Plan are subject to forfeiture as provided in Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the implementing rules and regulations. In addition, the Company reserves the right to require a Participant to forfeit or return to the Company any cash or other amount received under the Plan to the extent required by law, under any applicable exchange listing standard or under any applicable policy adopted by the Company that is designed to meet any legal obligations or obligations under any applicable exchange listing standard.

5.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amendment and Termination.**

The Committee may amend this Plan prospectively at any time and for any reason deemed sufficient by it without notice to any person affected by this Plan and may likewise terminate or curtail the benefits of this Plan both with regard to persons expecting to receive benefits hereunder in the future and persons already receiving benefits at the time of such action.

6.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Miscellaneous.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1 *Effective Date.* The effective date of the Plan shall be January 1, 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2 *Headings.* Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.3 *Applicability to Successors.* This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and each Participant, the successors and assigns of the Company, and the beneficiaries, personal representatives and heirs of each Participant. If the Company becomes a party to any merger, consolidation or reorganization, this Plan shall remain in full force and effect as an obligation of the Company or its successors in interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.4 *Employment Rights and Other Benefits Programs.* The provisions of this Plan shall not give any Participant any right to be retained in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary. In the absence of any specific agreement to the contrary, this Plan shall not affect any right of the Company, or of any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, to terminate, with or without cause, the Participant's employment at any time. This Plan shall not replace any contract of employment, whether oral, or written, between the Company and any Participant, but shall be considered a supplement thereto. This Plan is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other employee benefit plan or program in which any Participant may be or become eligible to participate by reason of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary. Receipt of benefits hereunder shall have such effect on contributions to and benefits under such other plans or programs as the provisions of each such other plan or program may specify.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.5 *No Trust Fund Created; Plan is Unfunded.* This Plan shall not create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate pursuant to this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or of the applicable Subsidiary or affiliate. All benefits under the Plan shall be paid from the general assets of the Company. No Participant shall be deemed to have, by virtue of being a Participant in the Plan, any claim on any specific assets of the Company such that the Participant would be subject to income taxation on any benefits prior to distribution to him or her.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.6 *Governing Law.* The place of administration of the Plan shall be in the State of Illinois.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.7 *Compliance with Local Law*. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of any Participant who is a resident or employed outside of the United States, and all other Participants to the extent applicable, as a condition to participation in the Plan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;each Participant shall be required to repatriate cash acquired under the Plan in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;payments to any Participant hereunder shall be subject to local law and any and all actions required to be taken by the Company or the Company's Subsidiaries and affiliates in order for the Company and the Company's Subsidiaries and affiliates to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in a Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;each payment under the Plan shall be subject to each Participant taking any and all actions as may be required to comply with his or her personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in his or her country of residence (and country of employment, if different); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;all payments made hereunder shall be subject to the Company's or its applicable Subsidiary's local country payroll practices.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.7 *Severability.* If any provision of the Plan is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the purpose or intent of the Plan, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, and the remainder of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.8 *Section 409A.* Payments under the Plan are intended to be exempt from section 409A of the Code as "short-term deferrals" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(b)(4). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, if any amount payable under the Plan constitutes deferred compensation, within the meaning of Code Section 409A, and becomes payable to a "Specified Employee" (as defined in Section 409A) as a result of the Specified Employee's Termination of Employment, the payment will be deferred (if not already deferred) until the earlier to occur of (i) the first day of the seventh month following such employee's Termination of Employment or (ii) the date of such employee's death. Consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, a Plan distribution that is a "short-term deferral" exempt from Section 409A shall be deemed to be paid on the bonus payment date if it is paid no earlier than January 1<sup>st</sup> immediately preceding, and no later than the March 15<sup>th</sup> immediately following, the bonus payment date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.10 *Venue*. Westchester, Illinois shall be the sole and exclusive venue for any arbitration, litigation, special proceedings, or other proceedings between the parties in connection with the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.11 *Hold Harmless*. A Participant shall hold the Company harmless from and pay any cost, expense or fee (not to exceed the bank balance) incurred by the Company with respect to any claim, due or demand asserted by any person, except the Company against any amounts due the Participant under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No Other Agreements*. The terms and conditions set forth herein constitute the entire understanding of the Company and the Participants with respect to the matters addressed herein.

The Grant Notice is included in, and made part of, this Award Agreement. The Grant Notice and Award Agreement collectively constitute the "Agreement" relating to the award of Performance Shares (the "Award") described in this Agreement. This Agreement and the Ingredion Incorporated Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") together govern the Participant's rights under the Award and set forth all of the conditions and limitations affecting such rights. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Plan**.**

1.**Award Determination.** Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant the number of Performance Shares ("PSUs"), set forth in the Grant Notice ("Target Award"), each of which will have a value equivalent to one share of the Company's Common Stock (a "Share").

Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, and as further described in the Grant Notice, the number of PSUs the Participant is eligible to earn shall be based on the attainment of the Performance Goals at the end of the Performance Period, as determined and certified in writing by the People, Culture and Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Committee").

2.**Termination Provisions**. Except as provided below (including, as applicable, Section 10(a) hereof), the Participant (or his or her legal representative) shall be eligible for payment with respect to the awarded PSUs, as determined pursuant to the Grant Notice, only if the Participant's employment with the Company continues through the end of the Performance Period.

If the Participant's employment with the Company terminates after the first anniversary of the Grant Date and prior to the end of the Performance Period by reason of retirement on or after (if) age 65, (ii) age 62 with a minimum of 5 years of continuous employment or service with the Company or (iii) age 55 with a minimum of 10 years of continuous employment or service with the Company, then, subject to the Committee's approval, a pro-rated payment (based on the period of the Participant's continued employment during the Performance Period) will be payable at the end of the Performance Period of such portion of the Award which would have been paid to the Participant (or his or her legal representative) for such Performance Period, based on the attainment of actual performance results

In the event of the occurrence of Participant's Disability Date or death after the first anniversary of the Grant Date and prior to the end of the Performance Period, then a pro-rated payment of the Target Award (based on the period of the Participant's continued employment during the Performance Period) will be payable within 60 days after such Disability Date or Death, as applicable, without regard to any attainment of actual performance results.

If the Participant's employment with the Company terminates prior to the end of the Performance Period under any other circumstances, then the Award shall, except as otherwise authorized by the Committee pursuant to the following paragraph, be forfeited to and cancelled by the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion and taking into consideration the performance of the Participant and the performance of the Company during the Performance Period, may authorize a payment to the Participant (or his or her legal representative) at the end of the Performance Period in excess of what would otherwise be payable pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, as applicable.

------

3.**Dividend Equivalent Rights**. During the Performance Period, the Participant (or his or her legal representative) shall be entitled to receive dividend equivalents related to the PSUs equal in amount to the dividends declared, prior to the settlement of the PSUs, on the Shares underlying the PSUs. Dividend equivalent amounts shall be payable with respect to the number of PSUs that vest pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and shall be paid or distributed in cash at the same time the Shares or Other Share Equivalents (as defined below) underlying vested PSUs are distributed to the Participant in accordance with this Agreement.

4.**Form and Timing of Payment of PSUs**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as provided in Section 2, payment of the Award shall be made to the Participant (or his or her legal representative) no later than two and one-half months after the end of the Performance Period. Payment of the Award shall be made subject to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(I)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Participant shall have no rights with respect to any Shares or any dividend equivalent rights that relate to the Award until such Shares or Other Share Equivalents shall be paid, if at all, to the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the Participant at any time has willfully engaged in any activity that the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines was or is harmful to the Company, any unpaid portion of the Award will be forfeited by the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as otherwise provided in the following sentence, PSUs awarded, if any, will be paid out only in Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a resident or employed outside of the United States, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Award in the form of a cash payment equal in the value of the Shares that would otherwise be payable hereunder ("Other Share Equivalents"), to the extent settlement in Shares: (I) is prohibited under local law; (ii) would require the Participant, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or affiliates to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Participant's country of residence (or country of employment, if different); (iii) would result in adverse tax consequences for the Participant or the Company; or (iv) is administratively burdensome. Alternatively, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the PSUs in the form of Shares but require the Participant to sell such Shares immediately or within a specified period following the Participant's termination of employment (in which case, this Agreement shall give the Company the authority to issue sales instructions on the Participant's behalf).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Subject to the terms of the Ingredion Incorporated Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, the Participant may defer receipt of all or any portion of the PSUs awarded hereunder, upon such terms and conditions stated in the deferral election form prescribed by the Company, by filing such written election with the Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company no later than six months prior to the termination of the Performance Period, provided such election is made in a manner which complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A and/or other applicable laws. Deferrals may only be made into the Ingredion Incorporated phantom unit investment option under the Ingredion Incorporated Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan or a successor to that investment option.

5.**Non-transferability**. Neither the PSUs nor any rights thereunder (including dividend equivalent rights described in Section 3 above) may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, the Participant's rights under the Plan shall be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by the Participant or the Participant's legal representative.

6.**Income Tax and Social Insurance Contribution Withholding**. Prior to the settlement of the Award, the Company or the Subsidiary or affiliate that employs the Participant (the "Employer") (if applicable) shall have the right to require the Participant 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 applicable in connection therewith. Such obligation shall be satisfied as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)In the case of payment of Other Share Equivalents and dividend equivalents pursuant to the Award, by the Company or Employer withholding an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to the Participant, in the amount equal to the applicable taxes;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)In the case of payment of Shares pursuant to the Award, by the Company by withholding whole Shares which would otherwise be delivered to the Participant, having an aggregate Fair Market Value determined as of the date the obligation to withhold or pay taxes arises in connection with the PSUs (the "Tax Date"), or by the Company or Employer withholding an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to the Participant, in the amount equal to the applicable taxes; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the case of payment of Shares pursuant to the Award, by the Participant by any of the following means: (if) a cash payment to the Company or the Employer in the amount equal to the applicable taxes, (ii) delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) to the Company of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the amount of the applicable taxes, (iii) 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 Participant, equal to the amount of the applicable taxes, or (iv) any combination of (a), (ii) and (iii).

Any fraction of a Share which would otherwise be required to satisfy such an obligation, as applicable, shall be disregarded and the Participant 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, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participant's 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 Award any Shares issued upon settlement of the Award, and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the Award (or any aspect of the PSUs) to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items.

10.**Miscellaneous**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Change in Control*. Notwithstanding the effect that Section 5.8(a)(1) of the Plan would otherwise have, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(3) or (4) of the Plan in connection with which the holders of Common Stock receive shares of common stock that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not in the event of a Change in Control to which Section 5.8(a)(2) of the Plan applies), the Performance Period will be deemed to have lapsed, the Performance Goals shall be deemed satisfied at the target level, the PSUs will be considered earned and the Target Award amount will be paid out in accordance with the Plan as a result of such Change in Control upon the earlier to occur of (if) your continued employment or service through (I) the last day of the Performance Period, and (ii) the termination of your employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates for Good Reason, or the termination of your employment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates without Cause, within two years following such Change in Control (the "Protection Period"). Such deemed earned PSUs shall be paid out as soon as practicable following the last day of the Performance Period or your termination of employment following such Change in Control. In the event of such Change in Control pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(3) or (4) of the Plan in connection with which the holders of Common Stock receive shares of common stock that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, there shall be substituted for each share of Common Stock relating to the PSUs the number, type and class of shares into which each outstanding share of Common Stock shall be converted pursuant to such Change in Control.

For purposes of the foregoing, "Good Reason" shall mean:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There has occurred a material reduction by the Company, a Subsidiary or affiliate in your base salary in effect immediately before the beginning of the Protection Period or as increased from time to time thereafter;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company, a Subsidiary or affiliate, without your written consent, has required you to be relocated anywhere in excess of thirty-five (35) miles from your office location immediately before the beginning of the Protection Period, except for required travel on the business of the Company, a Subsidiary or affiliate to an extent substantially consistent with your business travel obligations immediately before the beginning of the Protection Period; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company or a Subsidiary has reduced in any manner which you reasonably consider important your title, job authorities or responsibilities immediately before the beginning of the Protection Period.

You may exercise your right to terminate your employment for Good Reason by giving the Company a written notice of termination specifying in reasonable detail the circumstances constituting such Good Reason within [thirty (30) days] after the occurrence of the event that you believe would constitute Good Reason. However, the Company shall have thirty (30) days to "cure," such that the circumstances constituting such Good Reason are eliminated. Your employment shall terminate at the end of such thirty (30)-day period only if the Company has failed to cure such circumstances constituting the Good Reason. Your termination of employment within a Protection Period shall be for Good Reason if one of the occurrences specified in this Section 10 shall have occurred (and subject to the cure provision of the immediately preceding paragraph), notwithstanding that you may have other reasons for terminating employment, including employment by another employer which you desire to accept.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Continuation of Employment*. The selection of any employee for participation in the Plan and this Agreement shall not give such Participant any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or the Employer (as the case may be). The right and power of the Company and/or the Employer to dismiss or discharge the Participant is specifically reserved. The Participant or any person claiming under or through the Participant shall not have any right or interest in the Plan or any Award thereunder, unless and until all terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan that affect the Participant have been complied with as specified herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Nature of the Award*. In accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges that: (1) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature and may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan and this Agreement; (2) the grant of the PSUs is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of PSUs, or benefits in lieu of PSUs, even if PSUs have been granted repeatedly in the past; (3) all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (4) the Participant's participation in the Plan is voluntary; (5) the PSUs and any Shares with respect to the PSUs 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; (6) the grant of PSUs is provided for future services to the Company and its affiliates and is not under any circumstances to be considered compensation for past services; (7) in the event that the Participant is 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 or an employment contract with the affiliate or Subsidiary that is the Participant's employer; (8) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; (9) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from forfeiture or termination of the PSUs or diminution in value of the PSUs or the Shares, and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company, its affiliates and/or its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise; (10) in the event of involuntary termination of the Participant's employment, the Participant's right to receive PSUs and/or Shares 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, the Participant's right to earn the PSUs after such termination of employment, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of the Participant's active employment and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; and (11) if the Participant is a resident or employed outside the United States, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates shall be liable for any change in the value of the PSUs, the amount realized upon settlement of the PSUs or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any Shares, resulting from any fluctuation of the United States Dollar/local currency exchange rate.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Application of the Law*. This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Amendments to Conform to Law*. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, the Board may amend the Plan or this Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or Agreement to any present or future law relating to plans of this or similar nature (including, but not limited to, Code Section 409A), and to the administrative regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Other Code Section 409A Matters*. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of the Participant's separation from service within the meaning of Code Section 409A, the Participant is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Code Section 409A, any payment hereunder that constitutes a "deferral of compensation" under Code Section 409A and that would otherwise become due on account of such separation from service, shall be delayed, and payment shall be made in full upon the earlier of (a) such date that is six months and one day following such separation from service and (b) the date of the Participant's death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Right to Amend or Terminate Agreement*. With the approval of the Board, the Committee may terminate, amend, or modify this Agreement; provided, however, that no such termination, amendment, or modification of this Agreement may in any way adversely affect the Participant's rights under this Agreement without the Participant's written consent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Governing Law*. To the extent not preempted by U.S. federal law, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Severability*. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan or this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, and each provision of the Plan and this Agreement will be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Waiver*. The Participant understands that the waiver by the Company with respect to the Participant's compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of such party of a provision of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Not a Public Offering in Non-U.S. Jurisdictions*. If the Participant is a resident or employed outside of the United States, neither the grant of the PSUs under the Plan nor the issuance of the underlying Shares is intended to be a public offering of securities in the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings to the local securities authorities in jurisdictions outside of the United States unless otherwise required under local law. No employee of the Company is permitted to advise the Participant on whether he or she should accept a grant of PSUs under the Plan or provide the Participant with any legal, tax or financial advice with respect to the grant of PSUs. Before deciding to accept the grant of PSUs, the Participant should carefully consider all risk factors and tax considerations relevant to the acquisition of Shares under the Plan or the disposition of them. Further, the Participant should carefully review all of the materials related to the PSUs and the Plan, and the Participant should consult with his or her personal legal, tax and financial advisors for professional advice in relation to the Participant's personal circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws.* The Participant acknowledges that, depending on the Participant's or his or her broker's country of residence or where the Shares are listed, the Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws that may affect the Participant's ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares or rights linked to the value of Shares during such times the Participant is considered to have "inside information" regarding the Company as defined in the laws or regulations in the Participant's country. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before he or she possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other

------

than on a "need to know" basis), and (ii) "tipping" third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Third parties include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Company's insider trading policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any restrictions and the Participant is advised to speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Compliance with Local Law*. If the Participant is a resident or employed outside of the United States, as a condition to the grant of the Award, the Participant agrees to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the Plan in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). In addition, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions, and consents 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 the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). Finally, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Participant's personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n)*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Electronic Delivery*. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the PSUs or other awards granted to the Participant under the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o)*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;English Language*. If the Participant is a resident and/or employed outside of the United States, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that it is the Participant's express intent that this Agreement, the Plan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the PSUs, be drawn up in English. If the Participant has received this Agreement, the Plan or any other documents related to the PSUs translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Addendum to Agreement*. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the PSUs shall be subject to such special terms and conditions for the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different), as the Company may determine in its sole discretion, and which shall be set forth in an addendum to these terms and conditions (the "Addendum"). Further, if the Participant transfers residence and/or employment to another country reflected in the <u>Addendum</u>, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable to comply with local laws, rules and/or regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the PSUs and the Plan (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Participant's transfer). The <u>Addendum</u> shall constitute part of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q)*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additional Requirements*. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the PSUs, any Shares acquired pursuant to the PSUs, and the Participant's participation in the Plan, to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or to facilitate the administration of the Plan. Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring the Participant to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

needs or financial situation and does not constitute legal, tax, investment or financial advice. Any tax or other information provided should therefore be considered guidance only, as relevant.

The Plan benefits are in no way secured, guaranteed or warranted by the Group, and the Plan involves certain risks. You should exercise caution in relation to Plan offers and/or participation. You should obtain independent professional advice if you are in doubt about any of the contents of the Plan documents and before taking actions in relation to the Plan, and you acknowledge that you have been given adequate opportunity to obtain such advice.

<u>No Additional Entitlements</u>

The offer by the Company of participation in the Plan and similar benefits is strictly discretionary, and neither this nor your employment contract provides or implies any expectation or right in relation to:

(1)your participation in the Plan or similar benefits in the future;

(2)the terms, conditions and amount of any Plan participation or similar benefits that the Company may decide to offer in the future; or

(3)your continued employment with the Group.

The Company may at any time unilaterally modify, suspend or terminate the Plan and any similar benefits, and/or your participation in such benefits, at its entire discretion in accordance with the Plan documents.

You acknowledge that you are not automatically entitled to the exercise of any discretion under the Plan in your favor, and that you do not have any claim or right of action in respect of any decision or omission which may operate to your disadvantage (even if such decision or omission is unreasonable, irrational or might otherwise be regarded as perverse or in breach of any duties). You accept that decisions made on behalf of the Company in respect of the Plan are final and binding in all respects.

These provisions apply regardless of whether offers or participation in the Plan are regular and repeated or on a one-off or otherwise exceptional basis, and whether the Plan administration involves your Employer and/or its payroll.

<u>No Effect on Employment-Related Rights</u>

Any compensation you receive (whether on a regular and repeated basis or on a one-off or otherwise exceptional basis, and regardless of whether the administration of such compensation involves your Employer and/or its payroll) in connection with the Plan is not part of your base salary or wages.

The forfeiture (including reduction, cancellation, clawback or recoupment) provisions relating specifically to your participation in the Plan are prescribed in the Plan and the Agreement. Such provisions are limited to your participation in the Plan alone, and nothing in the Plan documents and no aspect of your participation in the Plan:

(1)will be taken into account (except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law) in determining your wages, salary, other remuneration or compensation, bonuses, long-service payments, payments of any kind upon termination of your employment for any reason (whether or not found to be invalid, unlawful or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or providing services or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any), pension or retirement arrangements and payments, or any similar payments to these or other employee benefits; or

(2)confers on you the right to continue as an employee of the Group.

No Plan documents form part of your employment contract with your Employer, and they do not change in any way the terms of such contract.

------

Any participation in the Plan is entirely voluntary and will have no impact on your employment or your career with the Group, either positive or negative.

<u>No Substantive Employer Involvement</u>

The Plan is offered and administered by the Company and not by your Employer (if different). All documents related to the Plan, including the Plan, the Agreement and the links by which you access these documents, originate from and are maintained by the Company.

<u>Electronic Communications</u>

All Plan-related documents and correspondence may be communicated and stored electronically using means which are secure, private and accessible to the relevant parties. You consent to the sole use of electronic communications and storage (including, without limitation, offer and acceptance) in connection with the Plan.

You may, however, request that hard copies of any Plan-related documents be provided to you (free of charge) by contacting: **Julie Quinn**, V.P., Total Rewards – <u>julie.quinn@ingredion.com</u> and/or **Juan Montoya**, Director, Global Compensation – <u>juan.montoya@ingredion.com</u> 

<u>Data Protection</u>

You acknowledge that your personal data will be processed in accordance with each data privacy policy, notice and/or agreement that is applicable to you in connection with your employment.

<u>Risk Warnings</u>

**Share price risk**: there is a risk that Shares may fall as well as rise in value. Market forces will impact the price of Shares, and in the worst case, the market value of the Shares may become zero. You agree that the Group is not liable for any loss due to movements in Share value.

**Currency risk**: if Shares are traded in a currency which is not the currency in your jurisdiction, the value of the Shares to you may also be affected by movements in the exchange rate. There may also be an exchange rate risk in relation to any Plan-related currency which is not the currency of your jurisdiction. You agree that the Group is not liable for any loss due to movements in the exchange rate or any charges imposed in relation to the conversion or transfer of currency.

<u>Insider Trading and Market Abuse</u>

You acknowledge that rules on dealing notification, insider trading and market abuse (including the terms of any relevant dealing policy) may apply to the Plan benefits and may prohibit or delay actions or decisions in relation to such benefits. You agree that you are solely responsible for compliance with such rules and that the Group is not liable for any loss due to such rules or for any breaches of such rules by you.

<u>Exchange Control and Resale Obligations</u>

Under local exchange controls, currency controls or foreign asset reporting requirements, you may be subject to certain notification, approval and/or repatriation obligations with respect to Shares and any funds you may receive in connection with the Plan.

Among other things, such obligations may affect your ability to hold Shares, bring Shares into your jurisdiction, reinvest dividends and receive any applicable dividends or dividend equivalents, Share sale proceeds and other payments in a local or foreign account. You may further be subject to local securities law and/or exchange control restrictions and other obligations on the resale of Shares.

You agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with any such obligations that may apply to you in connection with the Plan, and the Company recommends that you obtain independent

------

professional advice in this regard. In the event that you fail to comply with any such obligations, you agree that the Group is not liable in any way for resulting fines or other penalties.

You further agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Group, as may be deemed appropriate by the Group to enable compliance with any such obligations that may be applicable to you or the Group.

<u>Tax and Withholding</u>

You acknowledge and agree that:

(1)all Plan benefits may be subject to tax and social security in the jurisdiction(s) where you are employed, reside or are otherwise subject to tax;

(2)the Group may withhold amounts in any Share and/or cash payments and make arrangements (including without limitation withholding Plan benefits, withholding other payments in any form that may be due to you, net settlement, 'sell-to-cover' arrangements and requiring you to make payments in any form to the Group or a relevant authority) as considered appropriate by the Group to meet any tax or social security liability. This may include withholding amounts at the locally applicable maximum rates. Your liability may also exceed any amounts withheld and paid on your behalf;

(3)you are responsible for and bear any liability for any personal tax and social security charges or similar payments due in relation to your participation in the Plan; and

(4)you indemnify the Group and agree to make any arrangements (including without limitation those described above) deemed appropriate by the Group in order to satisfy such payments and to effect any adjustments required in the event of over-payment or under-payment in respect of them.

The Group does not warrant any particular tax treatment in relation to the Plan benefits and is not obliged to structure such benefits with the aim of achieving any particular tax treatment.

<u>Mobile Employees</u>

If you are a mobile employee, meaning that you are based in different jurisdictions during the course of your employment and/or your participation in the Plan or that you are or may be subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, you are strongly encouraged to inform the Company and to consult your personal tax adviser(s) regarding the tax treatment of any Plan benefits. You should also review the provisions in Part B below that are specific to each jurisdiction which may be applicable to you.

If you transfer your residence and/or employment to another jurisdiction during the course of your participation in the Plan, the Company may in its sole discretion unilaterally determine that different or additional terms and conditions will apply to your participation in the Plan. This provision applies to the extent that any such terms and conditions are considered by the Company to be necessary or advisable in order to comply with local laws, rules and regulations, to facilitate the operation and administration of the Award and the Plan or to otherwise accommodate your transfer.

<u>English Language</u>

You accept that the Plan documents, including all related communications, may be in the English language only and it is possible that no translated or interpreted versions will be provided. The English version of such documents will always prevail in the event of any inconsistency with translated or interpreted documents. You agree that you are responsible for ensuring that you fully understand the Plan documents.

<u>Governing Law</u>

------

The Plan is governed as prescribed in the Plan and the Agreement, and you waive any entitlement to have any Plan-related disputes determined under an alternative jurisdiction except as required by applicable laws.

<u>Severability</u>

If any provision (in whole or in part) of this Addendum or the other Plan documents is to any extent illegal, otherwise invalid, or incapable of being enforced, that provision will be excluded to the extent (only) of such invalidity or unenforceability.

All other provisions will remain in full effect and, to the extent possible, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed replaced by a provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable provision.

<u>Adequate Information</u>

You certify that you:

(1)have been given access to all relevant information and materials with respect to the operations and financial condition of the Company and your participation in the Plan;

(2)have read and understood such information and materials;

(3)are fully aware and knowledgeable of the terms and conditions of the Plan; and

(4)completely and voluntarily agree to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

------

**Part B: Provisions Applicable to Participants in Particular Jurisdictions**

You are subject to the wording set out below in relation to each jurisdiction which is or may be applicable to you.

This wording is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws that are understood to be in effect in the relevant jurisdictions as of February 2023. Such laws are often complex and change frequently and the wording does not take into account your individual circumstances. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you do not rely on such information as your only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan, and that you seek ongoing independent professional advice as appropriate.

**EUROPEAN UNION ("EU") / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA ("EEA")**

<u>Securities Laws</u>. This offer is being made to selected employees as part of an employee incentive programme in order to provide an additional incentive and to encourage employee share ownership and to increase your interest in the success of the Company. The company offering these rights is Ingredion Incorporated. The Shares which are the subject of these rights are ordinary Shares in the Company. The Shares have the same rights to information, dividends and voting as other ordinary Shares. More information in relation to the Company including the share price can be found at the following web address: www.ingredion.com.

The obligation to publish a prospectus does not apply because of Article 1(4)(i) of the EU Prospectus Regulation. The total maximum number of Shares which are the subject of this offer is 3,700,000.

**AUSTRALIA**

1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Shareholder Approval Requirement</u>. Notwithstanding any provision in the Award Agreement to the contrary, you will not be entitled to, and shall not claim, any benefit under the Plan if the provision of such benefit would give rise to a breach of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), any other provision of that act, or any other applicable statute, rule or regulation which limits or restricts the giving of such benefits. Further, the Company's affiliate in Australia is under no obligation to seek or obtain the approval of its shareholders for the purpose of overcoming any such limitation or restriction.

2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>New Division</u>. The offer to participate in the Plan is made in reliance of Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

3. <u>Tax Notification</u>. The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to conditions in the act).

4. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Advice</u>. Any advice given by the Company or any of its associated bodies corporate, in relation to Awards under the Plan does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. You should consider obtaining your own financial product advice from a person who is licensed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission to give such advice.

5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Information</u>. The Company undertakes, on request, at no charge and within a reasonable time, to provide you with a full copy of the rules of the Plan.

6. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Share Price</u>. As the Company's Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the market price of ordinary Shares in the Company can be ascertained by visiting the website of the New York Stock Exchange (<u>https://www.nyse.com/index</u>) and the Australian dollar equivalent of that price by applying the prevailing USD/AUD exchange rate published by the Reserve Bank of Australia, which is accessible at the following link: <u>http://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/frequency/exchange-rates.html</u>.

7. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Risk Warning</u>.** There is a risk that Shares, or their cash equivalent, awarded to you under the Plan may fall as well as rise in value through movement of equity markets. Market forces will impact the price of Shares awarded to you, and at their worst, market values of the Shares awarded to you may become zero if adverse market conditions are encountered. As the price of the Shares awarded to you is

------

quoted in USD, the value of those Shares, or their cash equivalent, to you may also be affected by movements in foreign currency exchange rates.

8. <u>Tax deferral.</u> This is a scheme to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 applies, subject to the requirements in that Act.

In addition to any restrictions on resale and transfer noted in the Plan documents, Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan will be subject to certain restrictions on resale imposed by Canadian provincial securities laws (in general, if you are resident in Canada you may not resell your Shares to Canadian purchasers).

R**Amendment to Performance Share Award Agreements**

**Under the Ingredion Incorporated Stock Incentive Plan**

This Amendment to Award Agreements (this "Amendment"), entered into by Ingredion Incorporated (the "Company") as of February 15, 2023, sets forth the terms pursuant to which the outstanding awards listed on <u>Schedule A</u> (the "Outstanding Awards") granted to [NAME] (the "Participant") under the Company's Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") are hereby amended. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.Section 7 of the Outstanding Awards is amended by deleting said section in its entirety and replacing said section with the following:

"**Dividend Equivalent Rights.** During the remainder of the Performance Period occurring on and after January 1, 2023 (the "Covered Period"), the Participant (or his or her legal representative) shall be entitled to receive dividend equivalents related to the Performance Shares equal in amount to the dividends declared during the Covered Period and prior to the settlement of the Performance Shares. Dividend equivalent amounts shall be payable with respect to the number of Performance Shares that vest pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and shall be paid or distributed in cash at the same time the Shares underlying vested Performance Shares are distributed to the Participant in accordance with this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) dividend equivalent rights are subject to analogous forfeiture restrictions, transferability limitations and tax withholding requirements that apply to the Performance Shares under Sections 6, 9, and 10 hereunder, respectively, and (b) in no event shall any dividend equivalent rights apply with respect to dividends declared prior to the Covered Period."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.<u>Entire Agreement; Counterparts</u>. Except as modified herein, the Outstanding Awards shall remain in full force and effect. In the event of any conflict between this Amendment and the Outstanding Awards, this Amendment shall govern. This Amendment, the Plan and the applicable Outstanding Award constitute the entire agreement between the Participant and the Company regarding the terms and conditions of such Outstanding Award. This Amendment supersedes all prior negotiations, representations or agreements between the Participant and the Company, whether written or oral, concerning the modifications of the Outstanding Awards set forth herein.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Amendment as of the date first written above.

## Exhibit 10.10

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**EXHIBIT 10.10**

**Ingredion Incorporated**

**Stock Incentive Plan**

**Global Stock Option Award Agreement**

Ingredion Incorporated (the "Company") has granted you a Non-Qualified Stock Option (the "Option") under the Ingredion Incorporated Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Option grant date, the shares of Company Common Stock ("Shares") covered by the Option, and the Option exercise price are set forth in the electronic stock administration account established for you by the Company. This Stock Option Award Agreement (including the Addendum) ("Award Agreement") collectively constitutes the Agreement evidencing the Option. This Award Agreement and the Plan together govern your rights under the Award and 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 provided in the Plan, the Plan's terms shall supersede and replace the conflicting terms of this Award Agreement (other than the specific provisions in Part B of the Addendum, which shall have effect where they conflict with the Plan's terms).

**Overview of Your Grant**

1.**Vesting Period**. The Option does not provide you with any rights or interests therein until it vests in accordance with the following:

The Option becomes exercisable in three equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date (one-third of the Option will vest on the first anniversary, one-third will vest on the second anniversary, and the final one-third will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date). The Option shall remain exercisable until February 15, 2033. If the market is closed on this date, the Option shall remain exercisable until the close of the market on the last date the market is open prior to February 15, 2033. However, the Option may expire prior to such date if your employment with the Company terminates prior to exercising such Option, as stated in Section 3 of this Award Agreement.

Notwithstanding the effect that Section 5.8(a)(1) of the Plan would otherwise have, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(3) or (4) of the Plan in connection with which the holders of Common Stock receive shares of common stock that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not in the event of a Change in Control to which Section 5.8(a)(2) of the Plan applies), the Option shall become immediately exercisable in full as a result of such Change in Control only in the event you also terminate employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates for Good Reason, or if your employment is terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates without Cause, within two years following such Change in Control (the "Protection Period"). In the event of such Change in Control pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(3) or (4) of the Plan in connection with which the holders of Common Stock receive shares of common stock that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, there shall be substituted for each share of Common Stock available under the Option (if still outstanding) the number, type and class of shares into which each outstanding share of Common Stock shall be converted pursuant to such Change in Control. In the event of any such substitution, the purchase price per share in the case of the Option shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee (whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive), such adjustments to be made in the case of the Option without an increase in the aggregate purchase price or base price. For purposes of the foregoing, "Good Reason" shall mean:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There has occurred a material reduction by the Company, a Subsidiary or affiliate in your base salary in effect immediately before the beginning of the Protection Period or as increased from time to time thereafter;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company, a Subsidiary or affiliate, without your written consent, has required you to be relocated anywhere in excess of thirty-five (35) miles from your office location immediately before the beginning of the Protection Period, except for required travel on

------

the business of the Company, a Subsidiary or affiliate to an extent substantially consistent with your business travel obligations immediately before the beginning of the Protection Period; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company or a Subsidiary has reduced in any manner which you reasonably consider important your title, job authorities or responsibilities immediately before the beginning of the Protection Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You may exercise your right to terminate your employment for Good Reason by giving the Company a written notice of termination specifying in reasonable detail the circumstances constituting such Good Reason. However, the Company shall have thirty (30) days to "cure," such that the circumstances constituting such Good Reason are eliminated. Your employment shall terminate at the end of such thirty (30)-day period only if the Company has failed to cure such circumstances constituting the Good Reason.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Your termination of employment within a Protection Period shall be for Good Reason if one of the occurrences specified in this Section 2 shall have occurred (and subject to the cure provision of the immediately preceding paragraph), notwithstanding that you may have other reasons for terminating employment, including employment by another employer which you desire to accept.

2.**Exercise Procedures**. The Option may be exercised (i) by giving written notice to the Company specifying the number of whole Shares to be purchased and accompanied by payment therefore in full (or arrangement made for such payment to the Company's satisfaction) either by (A) delivery of cash in the amount of the aggregate purchase price payable by reason of such exercise, (B) delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) of previously acquired Shares 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) 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 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), and (ii) by executing such documents as the Company may reasonably request. Any fraction of a Share which would be required to pay such purchase price shall be paid by you in cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a resident or employed outside of the United States, the Company may require payment of the purchase price in a particular or different method of exercise, as it shall determine in its sole discretion. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued until the full purchase price therefore has been paid (or arrangement made for such payment to the Company's satisfaction).

3.**Effect of Termination of Employment**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If you terminate employment with or service to the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates (1) by reason of (i) death, or (ii) retirement on or after (A) age 65, (B) age 62 with a minimum of 5 years of employment with or service to the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates or (C) age 55 with a minimum of 10 years of employment with or service to the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates (in the case of any termination described in (A), (B) or (C), a "Retirement"), or (iii) the occurrence of your Disability Date, or (2) for Good Reason, or if your employment is terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates without Cause, within two years following a Change in Control (the "Protection Period"), the Option shall be exercisable for the remainder of the term stated in Section 2 of this Agreement, but only to the extent that the Option was vested and exercisable at the date of such termination of employment, including, without limitation, as a result of the second paragraph of Section 2 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of your Retirement on or after February 16, 2023, the Option shall continue to vest in accordance with Section 2 above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If your employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates is terminated under any circumstance other than as described in Section 4(a) or 4(c), the Option shall remain exercisable to the extent that it was exercisable at the date of your termination of employment, for

------

a period of 90 days following such termination of employment. If the market is closed on such date, the option shall remain exercisable until the close of the market on the last date the market is open prior to the 90-day period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4, if your employment with the Company is terminated by the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates for Cause, the Option shall terminate automatically on the effective date of such termination of employment.

4.**Requirements of Law**. The granting of the Option and the issuance of Shares under the Plan 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.

5.**Income Tax and Social Insurance Contribution Withholding**. Prior to the issuance or delivery of any Shares, 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 Option. Such obligation shall be satisfied either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)by the Company (which if you are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act is subject to approval by the Committee) by withholding whole Shares 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 Option (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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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 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, (D) a cash payment in the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom you have submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise or (E) any combination of (A), (B) and (C).

Any fraction of a Share 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 (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including the grant of the Option, the vesting of the Option, the exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the Option and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.

6.**Nontransferability**. The Option is not transferable other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures, if any, approved by the Company. Except to the extent permitted by the foregoing sentence, the Option may be exercised or settled during your lifetime by only you, your legal representative or a similar person.

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, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between you and the Company, an affiliate or Subsidiary or prohibited by 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, is discretionary in nature and 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 Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Options, or benefits in lieu of Options, even if Options have been granted repeatedly in the past; (c) all decisions with respect to future Option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (d) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (e) the Option is 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 the Option 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 Option grant will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or an employment contract with the affiliate or Subsidiary that is your employer; (h) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; (i) if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value; (j) if you exercise your Option and obtain Shares, the value of those Shares acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the Option Price; (k) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the Option or diminution in value of the Option or Shares purchased through exercise of the Option, and you irrevocably release the Company, its affiliates and/or its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise; (l) in the event of involuntary termination of your employment, your right to receive Options and vest in Options 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 exercise the Option 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; and (m) if you are a resident or employed outside of the United States, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates shall be liable for any change in the value of the Option, the amount realized upon exercise of the Option or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any Shares, resulting from any fluctuation of the United States Dollar/local currency exchange rate.

9.**Employee Data Privacy**. You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use, disclosure, processing and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your Personal Data (as defined below) 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 we may share your Personal Data with any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan including, but not limited to, the affiliates of the Company and/or Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, or any successor. These third party recipients may be located in your country or elsewhere, and 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 Personal Data by contacting the Company's Chief Human Resources Officer.

------

We may also share your Personal Data as required or permitted by law to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process or government request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is legally required or otherwise necessary to protect our rights and property or the rights, property or safety of others, including to law enforcement agencies, and judicial and regulatory authorities. We may also share your Personal Data with third parties to help detect and protect against fraud or data security vulnerabilities. And we may transfer your Personal Data to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, reorganization of our entity or other restructuring.

You authorize the recipients of your Personal Data to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal 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 Personal Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any Shares acquired. You understand that Personal Data will be held as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan.

You understand that you may, at any time, view Personal Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Personal Data, require any necessary amendments to Personal Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, by contacting in writing Corporate Human Resources. You understand, however, that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan.

You understand and agree that you will be unable to participate in the Plan if you fail to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer.

10.**Compliance with the Law**. If you are a resident or employed outside of the United States, as a condition of the grant of the Option, you agree to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares 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).

11.**Administration**. This Award Agreement and your rights hereunder are subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the Board or the Committee may adopt for administration of the Plan.

12.**Not a Public Offering in Non-U.S. Jurisdictions**. If you are a resident or employed outside of the United States, neither the grant of the Option under the Plan nor the issuance of the underlying Shares upon exercise of the Option is intended to be a public offering of securities in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings to the local securities authorities in jurisdictions outside of the United States unless otherwise required under local law. No employee of the Company is permitted to advise you on whether you should purchase Shares under the Plan or provide you with any legal, tax or financial advice with respect to the grant of the Option. Investment in Shares involves a degree of risk. Before deciding to purchase Shares pursuant to the Option, you should carefully consider all risk factors and tax considerations relevant to the acquisition of Shares under the Plan or the disposition of them. Further, you should carefully review all of the materials related to the Option and the Plan, and you should consult with your personal legal, tax and financial advisors for professional advice in relation to your personal circumstances.

------

13.**Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws***.* You acknowledge that, depending on your or your broker's country of residence or where the Shares are listed, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws that may affect your ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares or rights linked to the value of Shares during such times you are considered to have "inside information" regarding the Company as defined in the laws or regulations in your country. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders you placed before you possessed inside information. Furthermore, you could be prohibited from (a) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a "need to know" basis), and (b) "tipping" third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Third parties include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Company's insider trading policy. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with any restrictions and you are advised to speak to your personal advisor on this matter.

14.**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 the Option or the Plan shall be brought only in the state or federal courts of the State of Delaware.

15.**Severability**.

16.**Waiver**: You understand that the waiver by the Company with respect to your compliance with any provision of this Award Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Award Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of such party of a provision of this Award Agreement.

17.**Addendum to Award Agreement**. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Award Agreement to the contrary, the Option shall be subject to such special terms and conditions for your country of residence (and country of employment, if different), as the Company may determine in its sole discretion and which shall be set forth in an addendum to these terms and conditions (the "Addendum"). If you transfer your residence and/or employment to another country, any special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Option to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local laws, rules and regulations, or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Option and the Plan (or the Company may establish additional terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate your transfer). In all circumstances, the Addendum shall constitute part of these terms and conditions.

18.**Electronic Delivery**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Option or other awards granted to you under the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

19.**English Language**. If you are a resident and/or employed outside of the United States, you acknowledge and agree that it is your express intent that the Award Agreement, the Plan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Option, be drawn up in English. If you have received the Award Agreement, the Plan or any other documents related to the Option translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

**Addendum to the Award Agreement**

This Addendum forms part of the Award Agreement relating to your Award.

Your participation in the Plan is governed exclusively by the Plan and the Agreement (comprising the Notice of Grant and Award Agreement relating to your Award, including this Addendum), each as amended from time to time. This Addendum prevails in the event of any inconsistency with any other documents or communications relating to your participation in the Plan.

Capitalized terms that are used without definition in the Addendum have the meanings given in the Plan and the Agreement, as applicable. In this Addendum, the term "Group" means the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates (or any member of the Group, as applicable), and the term "Shares" means shares of Common Stock. For the purposes of this Addendum, references to an Award include any form of option granted under the Plan.

You should review all the provisions in Part A below and also the provisions in Part B below that are specific to any jurisdiction which may be applicable to you. You should also review the Plan, the Agreement and any other documents or communications provided to you in connection with the Plan.

**Part A: Provisions Applicable to All Participants**

By participating in the Plan, you acknowledge and agree to each of the following provisions.

<u>Documentation</u>

<br> You have read, understood and agree with the Plan and the Agreement, including any jurisdiction-specific notices in Part B below which may be applicable to you.

<u>No Public Offer</u>

The Plan is strictly limited to eligible Participants within the Group, as prescribed in the Plan. Rights under the Plan are personal and may not be transferred except in the limited circumstances prescribed in the Plan and the Agreement.

The offer to participate in the Plan and any subsequent participation is not intended to constitute a public offer in any jurisdiction, nor intended for registration or regulation in any jurisdiction outside of the United States of America.

You should keep all Plan-related documents confidential, and you may not reproduce, distribute or otherwise make public any such documents without the Company's express written consent. If you have received any such documents and you are not the intended recipient, please disregard and destroy them.

<u>Transferability</u>

Any provisions permitting transfers to a third party in the Plan documents will not apply to you: (i) to the extent that the applicability of those provisions would affect the availability of relevant exemptions or tax favorable treatment; or (ii) otherwise in circumstances determined by the Company in its sole discretion from time to time.

<u>Independent Advice Recommended</u>

The information provided by the Group or its service providers (including, without limitation, Plan administrators) in respect of the Plan does not take into account your individual circumstances, objectives, needs or financial situation and does not constitute legal, tax, investment or financial advice. Any tax or other information provided should therefore be considered guidance only, as relevant.

------

The Plan benefits are in no way secured, guaranteed or warranted by the Group, and the Plan involves certain risks. You should exercise caution in relation to Plan offers and/or participation. You should obtain independent professional advice if you are in doubt about any of the contents of the Plan documents and before taking actions in relation to the Plan, and you acknowledge that you have been given adequate opportunity to obtain such advice.

<u>No Additional Entitlements</u>

The offer by the Company of participation in the Plan and similar benefits is strictly discretionary, and neither this nor your employment contract provides or implies any expectation or right in relation to:

(i)your participation in the Plan or similar benefits in the future;

(ii)the terms, conditions and amount of any Plan participation or similar benefits that the Company may decide to offer in the future; or

(iii)your continued employment with the Group.

The Company may at any time unilaterally modify, suspend or terminate the Plan and any similar benefits, and/or your participation in such benefits, at its entire discretion in accordance with the Plan documents.

You acknowledge that you are not automatically entitled to the exercise of any discretion under the Plan in your favor, and that you do not have any claim or right of action in respect of any decision or omission which may operate to your disadvantage (even if such decision or omission is unreasonable, irrational or might otherwise be regarded as perverse or in breach of any duties). You accept that decisions made on behalf of the Company in respect of the Plan are final and binding in all respects.

These provisions apply regardless of whether offers or participation in the Plan are regular and repeated or on a one-off or otherwise exceptional basis, and whether the Plan administration involves your Employer and/or its payroll.

<u>No Effect on Employment-Related Rights</u>

Any compensation you receive (whether on a regular and repeated basis or on a one-off or otherwise exceptional basis, and regardless of whether the administration of such compensation involves your Employer and/or its payroll) in connection with the Plan is not part of your base salary or wages.

The forfeiture (including reduction, cancellation, clawback or recoupment) provisions relating specifically to your participation in the Plan are prescribed in the Plan and the Agreement. Such provisions are limited to your participation in the Plan alone, and nothing in the Plan documents and no aspect of your participation in the Plan:

(i)will be taken into account (except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law) in determining your wages, salary, other remuneration or compensation, bonuses, long-service payments, payments of any kind upon termination of your employment for any reason (whether or not found to be invalid, unlawful or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or providing services or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if any), pension or retirement arrangements and payments, or any similar payments to these or other employee benefits; or

(ii)confers on you the right to continue as an employee of the Group.

No Plan documents form part of your employment contract with your Employer, and they do not change in any way the terms of such contract.

Any participation in the Plan is entirely voluntary and will have no impact on your employment or your career with the Group, either positive or negative.

<u>No Substantive Employer Involvement</u>

------

The Plan is offered and administered by the Company and not by your Employer (if different). All documents related to the Plan, including the Plan, the Agreement and the links by which you access these documents, originate from and are maintained by the Company.

<u>Electronic Communications</u>

All Plan-related documents and correspondence may be communicated and stored electronically using means which are secure, private and accessible to the relevant parties. You consent to the sole use of electronic communications and storage (including, without limitation, offer and acceptance) in connection with the Plan.

You may, however, request that hard copies of any Plan-related documents be provided to you (free of charge) by contacting: **Julie Quinn**, V.P., Total Rewards – <u>julie.quinn@ingredion.com</u> and/or **Juan Montoya**, Director, Global Compensation – <u>juan.montoya@ingredion.com</u> 

<u>Data Protection</u>

You acknowledge that your personal data will be processed in accordance with each data privacy policy, notice and/or agreement that is applicable to you in connection with your employment.

<u>Risk Warnings</u>

**Share price risk**: there is a risk that Shares may fall as well as rise in value. Market forces will impact the price of Shares, and in the worst case, the market value of the Shares may become zero. You agree that the Group is not liable for any loss due to movements in Share value.

**Currency risk**: if Shares are traded in a currency which is not the currency in your jurisdiction, the value of the Shares to you may also be affected by movements in the exchange rate. There may also be an exchange rate risk in relation to any Plan-related currency which is not the currency of your jurisdiction. You agree that the Group is not liable for any loss due to movements in the exchange rate or any charges imposed in relation to the conversion or transfer of currency.

<u>Insider Trading and Market Abuse</u>

You acknowledge that rules on dealing notification, insider trading and market abuse (including the terms of any relevant dealing policy) may apply to the Plan benefits and may prohibit or delay actions or decisions in relation to such benefits. You agree that you are solely responsible for compliance with such rules and that the Group is not liable for any loss due to such rules or for any breaches of such rules by you.

<u>Exchange Control and Resale Obligations</u>

Under local exchange controls, currency controls or foreign asset reporting requirements, you may be subject to certain notification, approval and/or repatriation obligations with respect to Shares and any funds you may receive in connection with the Plan.

Among other things, such obligations may affect your ability to hold Shares, bring Shares into your jurisdiction, reinvest dividends and receive any applicable dividends or dividend equivalents, Share sale proceeds and other payments in a local or foreign account. You may further be subject to local securities law and/or exchange control restrictions and other obligations on the resale of Shares.

You agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with any such obligations that may apply to you in connection with the Plan, and the Company recommends that you obtain independent professional advice in this regard. In the event that you fail to comply with any such obligations, you agree that the Group is not liable in any way for resulting fines or other penalties.

You further agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Group, as may be deemed appropriate by the Group to enable compliance with any such obligations that may be applicable to you or the Group.

<u>Tax and Withholding</u>

------

You acknowledge and agree that:

(i)all Plan benefits may be subject to tax and social security in the jurisdiction(s) where you are employed, reside or are otherwise subject to tax;

(ii)the Group may withhold amounts in any Share and/or cash payments and make arrangements (including without limitation withholding Plan benefits, withholding other payments in any form that may be due to you, net settlement, 'sell-to-cover' arrangements and requiring you to make payments in any form to the Group or a relevant authority) as considered appropriate by the Group to meet any tax or social security liability. This may include withholding amounts at the locally applicable maximum rates. Your liability may also exceed any amounts withheld and paid on your behalf;

(iii)you are responsible for and bear any liability for any personal tax and social security charges or similar payments due in relation to your participation in the Plan; and

(iv)you indemnify the Group and agree to make any arrangements (including without limitation those described above) deemed appropriate by the Group in order to satisfy such payments and to effect any adjustments required in the event of over-payment or under-payment in respect of them.

The Group does not warrant any particular tax treatment in relation to the Plan benefits and is not obliged to structure such benefits with the aim of achieving any particular tax treatment.

<u>Mobile Employees</u>

If you are a mobile employee, meaning that you are based in different jurisdictions during the course of your employment and/or your participation in the Plan or that you are or may be subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, you are strongly encouraged to inform the Company and to consult your personal tax adviser(s) regarding the tax treatment of any Plan benefits. You should also review the provisions in Part B below that are specific to each jurisdiction which may be applicable to you.

If you transfer your residence and/or employment to another jurisdiction during the course of your participation in the Plan, the Company may in its sole discretion unilaterally determine that different or additional terms and conditions will apply to your participation in the Plan. This provision applies to the extent that any such terms and conditions are considered by the Company to be necessary or advisable in order to comply with local laws, rules and regulations, to facilitate the operation and administration of the Award and the Plan or to otherwise accommodate your transfer.

<u>English Language</u>

You accept that the Plan documents, including all related communications, may be in the English language only and it is possible that no translated or interpreted versions will be provided. The English version of such documents will always prevail in the event of any inconsistency with translated or interpreted documents. You agree that you are responsible for ensuring that you fully understand the Plan documents.

<u>Governing Law</u>

The Plan is governed as prescribed in the Plan and the Agreement, and you waive any entitlement to have any Plan-related disputes determined under an alternative jurisdiction except as required by applicable laws.

<u>Severability</u>

If any provision (in whole or in part) of this Addendum or the other Plan documents is to any extent illegal, otherwise invalid, or incapable of being enforced, that provision will be excluded to the extent (only) of such invalidity or unenforceability.

------

All other provisions will remain in full effect and, to the extent possible, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed replaced by a provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable provision.

<u>Adequate Information</u>

You certify that you:

(i)have been given access to all relevant information and materials with respect to the operations and financial condition of the Company and your participation in the Plan;

(ii)have read and understood such information and materials;

(iii)are fully aware and knowledgeable of the terms and conditions of the Plan; and

(iv)completely and voluntarily agree to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

------

**Part B: Provisions Applicable to Participants in Particular Jurisdictions**

You are subject to the wording set out below in relation to each jurisdiction which is or may be applicable to you.

This wording is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws that are understood to be in effect in the relevant jurisdictions as of February 2023. Such laws are often complex and change frequently and the wording does not take into account your individual circumstances. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you do not rely on such information as your only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan, and that you seek ongoing independent professional advice as appropriate.

**AUSTRALIA**

1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Shareholder Approval Requirement</u>.

Further, the Company's affiliate in Australia is under no obligation to seek or obtain the approval of its shareholders for the purpose of overcoming any such limitation or restriction.

2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>New Division</u>. The offer to participate in the Plan is made in reliance of Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

7. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Risk Warning</u>.** There is a risk that Shares, or their cash equivalent, awarded to you under the Plan may fall as well as rise in value through movement of equity markets. Market forces will impact the price of Shares awarded to you, and at their worst, market values of the Shares awarded to you may become zero if adverse market conditions are encountered. As the price of the Shares awarded to you is quoted in USD, the value of those Shares, or their cash equivalent, to you may also be affected by movements in foreign currency exchange rates.

## Exhibit 10.20

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**EXHIBIT 10.20**

**Ingredion Incorporated**

**Stock Incentive Plan**

**Global Restricted Stock Unit 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 set forth in the electronic stock administration account established for you by the Company. This Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (including the Addendum) collectively constitutes the Agreement relating to the Award. This Award Agreement and the Plan together govern your rights under the Award and 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 (other than the specific provisions in Part B of the Addendum, which shall have effect where they conflict with the Plan's terms).

**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 February 15, 2026 (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 Award Agreement. If all of the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan are met on the Vesting Date, subject to Section 11 of this Award Agreement, then you will be issued 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). Notwithstanding the effect that Section 5.8(a)(1) of the Plan would otherwise have, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(3) or (4) of the Plan in connection with which the holders of Common Stock receive shares of common stock that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not in the event of a Change in Control to which Section 5.8(a)(2) of the Plan applies), the Restriction Period applicable to the Restricted Stock Units shall lapse as a result of such Change in Control upon the earlier to occur of (i) your continued employment or service through the Vesting Date, and (ii) the termination of your employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates for Good Reason, or the termination of your employment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates without Cause, within two years following such Change in Control (the "Protection Period"). In the event of such Change in Control pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(3) or (4) of the Plan in connection with which the holders of Common Stock receive shares of common stock that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, there shall be substituted for each share of Common Stock relating to the Restricted Stock Units the

------

number, type and class of shares into which each outstanding share of Common Stock shall be converted pursuant to such Change in Control.

For purposes of the foregoing, "Good Reason" shall mean:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There has occurred a material reduction by the Company, a Subsidiary or affiliate in your base salary in effect immediately before the beginning of the Protection Period or as increased from time to time thereafter;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company, a Subsidiary or affiliate, without your written consent, has required you to be relocated anywhere in excess of thirty-five (35) miles from your office location immediately before the beginning of the Protection Period, except for required travel on the business of the Company, a Subsidiary or affiliate to an extent substantially consistent with your business travel obligations immediately before the beginning of the Protection Period; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company or a Subsidiary has reduced in any manner that you reasonably consider important your title, job authorities or responsibilities immediately before the beginning of the Protection Period.

You may exercise your right to terminate your employment for Good Reason by giving the Company a written notice of termination specifying in reasonable detail the circumstances constituting such Good Reason. However, the Company shall have thirty (30) days to "cure," such that the circumstances constituting such Good Reason are eliminated. Your employment shall terminate at the end of such thirty (30)-day period only if the Company has failed to cure such circumstances constituting the Good Reason.

Your termination of employment within a Protection Period shall be for Good Reason if one of the occurrences specified in this Section 3 shall have occurred (and subject to the cure provision of the immediately preceding paragraph), notwithstanding that you may have other reasons for terminating employment, including employment by another employer that you desire to accept.

4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Termination of Employment**. Subject to Section 3 of this Agreement and Section 3 of the Plan, 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; provided, however, that in the event your employment with the Company is terminated due to (a) death, (b) the occurrence if a Disability Date or (c) retirement on or after (A) age 65, (B) age 62 with a minimum of 5 years of continuous employment with or service to the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates or (C) age 55 with a minimum of 10 years of continuous employment with or service to the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates (in the case of each termination described in (A), (B) or (C), a "Retirement"), 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of your Retirement on or after February 16, 2023, the Restricted Stock Units shall continue to vest in accordance with Section 3 above.

5.**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 shares of Common Stock, the Company shall credit to the Award additional Restricted Stock Units, the number of which shall be 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.

2

------

6.**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)by the Company (which if you are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act is subject to approval by the Committee) 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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).

Any fraction of a share of Common Stock that 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 (i) 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 (ii) 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.

7.**Change of Capitalization**. If, prior to the time the restrictions imposed by Section 3 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.

8.**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, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between you and the Company, an affiliate or Subsidiary or prohibited by law.

9.**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, is discretionary in nature and 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

3

------

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 or 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; (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; and (k) if you are a resident or employed outside the United States, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates shall be liable for any change in the value of the Restricted Stock Units, the amount realized upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock, resulting from any fluctuation of the United States Dollar/local currency exchange rate.

10.**Requirements of Law**. The granting of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, and the issuance or delivery of any certificate or certificates for shares of 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.

11.**Alternative Form of Settlement in Non-U.S. Jurisdictions**. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, if you are a 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 sell such shares immediately or within a specified period following your termination of employment (in which case, this Award Agreement shall give the Company the authority to issue sales instructions on your behalf).

12.**Compliance with Local Law**. If you are a 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).

13.**Employee Data Privacy**. You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use, disclosure, processing and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your Personal Data (as defined below) 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 you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Personal Data by contacting the Company's Chief Human Resources Officer.

We may also share your Personal Data as required or permitted by law to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process or government request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is legally required or otherwise necessary to protect our rights and property or the rights, property or safety of others, including to law enforcement agencies, and judicial and regulatory authorities. We may also share your Personal Data with third parties to help detect and protect against fraud or data security vulnerabilities.

You understand that Personal Data will be held as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan.

You understand that you may, at any time, view Personal Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Personal Data, require any necessary amendments to Personal Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, by contacting in writing Corporate Human Resources.

You understand and agree that you will be unable to participate in the Plan if you fail to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer.

14.**Compliance with Section 409A of the Code**. It is intended that this Award Agreement and the Plan be exempt from the provisions of section 409A of the Code to the maximum extent permissible under law. To the extent section 409A of the Code applies to this Award Agreement and the Plan, it is intended that this Award Agreement and the Plan comply with the provisions of section 409A of

5

------

the Code. This Award Agreement and the Plan shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. In the event that this Award Agreement or the Plan does not comply with section 409A of the Code (to the extent applicable thereto), the Company shall have the authority to amend the terms of this Award Agreement or the Plan (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Company without your consent) to avoid excise taxes and other penalties under section 409A of the Code, to the extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no particular tax result for you with respect to any income recognized by you in connection with this Award Agreement is guaranteed, and you solely shall be responsible for any taxes, penalties, interest or other losses or expenses incurred by you under section 409A of the Code in connection with this Award Agreement. To the extent any amounts under this Award Agreement are payable by reference to your "termination of employment," such term shall be deemed to refer to your "separation from service," within the meaning of section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, if you are a "specified employee," as defined in section 409A of the Code, as of the date of your separation from service, then to the extent any amount payable under this Award Agreement (i) constitutes the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation, within the meaning of section 409A of the Code, (ii) is payable upon your separation from service and (iii) under the terms of this Award Agreement would be payable prior to the six-month anniversary of your separation from service, such payment shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of (a) the six-month anniversary of your separation from service or (b) the date of your death.

15.**Administration**. This Award Agreement and your rights hereunder are subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the Board or the Committee may adopt for administration of the Plan.

16.**Not a Public Offering in Non-U.S. Jurisdictions**. If you are a resident or employed outside of the United States, neither the grant of the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan nor the issuance of the underlying shares of Common Stock upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units is intended to be a public offering of securities in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings to the local securities authorities in jurisdictions outside of the United States unless otherwise required under local law. No employee of the Company is permitted to advise you on whether you should accept a grant of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan or provide you with any legal, tax or financial advice with respect to the grant of Restricted Stock Units. Before deciding to accept the grant of Restricted Stock Units, you should carefully consider all risk factors and tax considerations relevant to the acquisition of shares of Common Stock under the Plan or the disposition of them. Further, you should carefully review all of the materials related to the Restricted Stock Units and the Plan, and you should consult with your personal legal, tax and financial advisors for professional advice in relation to your personal circumstances.

17.**Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws**. You acknowledge that, depending on your or your broker's country of residence or where the shares of Common Stock are listed, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws that may affect your ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock, rights to shares of Common Stock or rights linked to the value of shares of Common Stock during such times you are considered to have "inside information" regarding the Company as defined in the laws or regulations in your country. Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders you placed before you possessed inside information. Furthermore, you could be prohibited from (a) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a "need to know" basis), and (b) "tipping" third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Third parties include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under the Company's insider trading policy. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with any restrictions and you are advised to speak to your personal advisor on this matter.

18.**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

6

------

regarding this Award or the Plan shall be brought only in the state or federal courts of the State of Delaware.

19.**Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan or this Award Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan or this Award Agreement, and each provision of the Plan and this Award Agreement will be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

20.**Waiver**: You understand that the waiver by the Company with respect to your compliance with any provision of this Award Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Award Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of such party of a provision of this Award Agreement.

21.**Addendum to Award Agreement**. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Award Agreement to the contrary, the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such special terms and conditions for your country of residence (and country of employment, if different), as the Company may determine in its sole discretion and which shall be set forth in an addendum to these terms and conditions (the "Addendum"). If you transfer your residence and/or employment to another country, any special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Restricted Stock Units to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local laws, rules and regulations, or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Award and the Plan (or the Company may establish additional terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate your transfer). In all circumstances, the Addendum shall constitute part of these terms and conditions.

22.**Electronic Delivery**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Restricted Stock Units or other awards granted to you under the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

23.**English Language**. If you are a resident and/or employed outside of the United States, you acknowledge and agree that it is your express intent that the Award Agreement, the Plan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units, be drawn up in English. If you have received the Award Agreement, the Plan or any other documents related to the Restricted Stock Units translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

24.**Additional Requirements**. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Restricted Stock Units, any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units, and your participation in the Plan, to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable in order to comply with local laws, rules and regulations, or to facilitate the administration of the Award and the Plan. Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring you to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

25.**Clawback Policy**. This Award Agreement and the Restricted Stock Units are subject to the Company's Policy on Recoupment of Incentive Compensation and any similar policy or policies that have been or may be adopted by the Company.

**Addendum to the Award Agreement**

This Addendum forms part of the Award Agreement relating to your Award.

Your participation in the Plan is governed exclusively by the Plan and the Agreement (comprising the Notice of Grant and Award Agreement relating to your Award, including this Addendum), each as amended from time to time. This Addendum prevails in the event of any inconsistency with any other documents or communications relating to your participation in the Plan.

Capitalized terms that are used without definition in the Addendum have the meanings given in the Plan and the Agreement, as applicable. In this Addendum, the term "Group" means the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates (or any member of the Group, as applicable), and the term "Shares" means shares of Common Stock. For the purposes of this Addendum, references to an Award include any form of option granted under the Plan.

You should review all the provisions in Part A below and also the provisions in Part B below that are specific to any jurisdiction which may be applicable to you. You should also review the Plan, the Agreement and any other documents or communications provided to you in connection with the Plan.

**Part A: Provisions Applicable to All Participants**

By participating in the Plan, you acknowledge and agree to each of the following provisions.

<u>Documentation</u>

<br> You have read, understood and agree with the Plan and the Agreement, including any jurisdiction-specific notices in Part B below which may be applicable to you.

<u>No Public Offer</u>

The Plan is strictly limited to eligible Participants within the Group, as prescribed in the Plan. Rights under the Plan are personal and may not be transferred except in the limited circumstances prescribed in the Plan and the Agreement.

The offer to participate in the Plan and any subsequent participation is not intended to constitute a public offer in any jurisdiction, nor intended for registration or regulation in any jurisdiction outside of the United States of America.

You should keep all Plan-related documents confidential, and you may not reproduce, distribute or otherwise make public any such documents without the Company's express written consent. If you have received any such documents and you are not the intended recipient, please disregard and destroy them.

<u>Transferability</u>

Any provisions permitting transfers to a third party in the Plan documents will not apply to you: (i) to the extent that the applicability of those provisions would affect the availability of relevant exemptions or tax

8

------

favorable treatment; or (ii) otherwise in circumstances determined by the Company in its sole discretion from time to time.

<u>Independent Advice Recommended</u>

The information provided by the Group or its service providers (including, without limitation, Plan administrators) in respect of the Plan does not take into account your individual circumstances, objectives, needs or financial situation and does not constitute legal, tax, investment or financial advice. Any tax or other information provided should therefore be considered guidance only, as relevant.

The Plan benefits are in no way secured, guaranteed or warranted by the Group, and the Plan involves certain risks. You should exercise caution in relation to Plan offers and/or participation. You should obtain independent professional advice if you are in doubt about any of the contents of the Plan documents and before taking actions in relation to the Plan, and you acknowledge that you have been given adequate opportunity to obtain such advice.

<u>No Additional Entitlements</u>

The offer by the Company of participation in the Plan and similar benefits is strictly discretionary, and neither this nor your employment contract provides or implies any expectation or right in relation to:

(i)your participation in the Plan or similar benefits in the future;

(ii)the terms, conditions and amount of any Plan participation or similar benefits that the Company may decide to offer in the future; or

(iii)your continued employment with the Group.

The Company may at any time unilaterally modify, suspend or terminate the Plan and any similar benefits, and/or your participation in such benefits, at its entire discretion in accordance with the Plan documents.

You acknowledge that you are not automatically entitled to the exercise of any discretion under the Plan in your favor, and that you do not have any claim or right of action in respect of any decision or omission which may operate to your disadvantage (even if such decision or omission is unreasonable, irrational or might otherwise be regarded as perverse or in breach of any duties). You accept that decisions made on behalf of the Company in respect of the Plan are final and binding in all respects.

These provisions apply regardless of whether offers or participation in the Plan are regular and repeated or on a one-off or otherwise exceptional basis, and whether the Plan administration involves your Employer and/or its payroll.

<u>No Effect on Employment-Related Rights</u>

Any compensation you receive (whether on a regular and repeated basis or on a one-off or otherwise exceptional basis, and regardless of whether the administration of such compensation involves your Employer and/or its payroll) in connection with the Plan is not part of your base salary or wages.

The forfeiture (including reduction, cancellation, clawback or recoupment) provisions relating specifically to your participation in the Plan are prescribed in the Plan and the Agreement. Such provisions are limited to your participation in the Plan alone, and nothing in the Plan documents and no aspect of your participation in the Plan:

(i)will be taken into account (except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law) in determining your wages, salary, other remuneration or compensation, bonuses, long-service payments, payments of any kind upon termination of your employment for any reason (whether or not found to be invalid, unlawful or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or providing services or the terms of your employment or service agreement, if

9

------

any), pension or retirement arrangements and payments, or any similar payments to these or other employee benefits; or

(ii)confers on you the right to continue as an employee of the Group.

No Plan documents form part of your employment contract with your Employer, and they do not change in any way the terms of such contract.

Any participation in the Plan is entirely voluntary and will have no impact on your employment or your career with the Group, either positive or negative.

<u>No Substantive Employer Involvement</u>

The Plan is offered and administered by the Company and not by your Employer (if different). All documents related to the Plan, including the Plan, the Agreement and the links by which you access these documents, originate from and are maintained by the Company.

<u>Electronic Communications</u>

All Plan-related documents and correspondence may be communicated and stored electronically using means which are secure, private and accessible to the relevant parties. You consent to the sole use of electronic communications and storage (including, without limitation, offer and acceptance) in connection with the Plan.

You may, however, request that hard copies of any Plan-related documents be provided to you (free of charge) by contacting: **Julie Quinn**, V.P., Total Rewards – <u>julie.quinn@ingredion.com</u> and/or **Juan Montoya**, Director, Global Compensation – <u>juan.montoya@ingredion.com</u> 

<u>Data Protection</u>

You acknowledge that your personal data will be processed in accordance with each data privacy policy, notice and/or agreement that is applicable to you in connection with your employment.

<u>Risk Warnings</u>

**Share price risk**: there is a risk that Shares may fall as well as rise in value. Market forces will impact the price of Shares, and in the worst case, the market value of the Shares may become zero. You agree that the Group is not liable for any loss due to movements in Share value.

**Currency risk**: if Shares are traded in a currency which is not the currency in your jurisdiction, the value of the Shares to you may also be affected by movements in the exchange rate. There may also be an exchange rate risk in relation to any Plan-related currency which is not the currency of your jurisdiction. You agree that the Group is not liable for any loss due to movements in the exchange rate or any charges imposed in relation to the conversion or transfer of currency.

<u>Insider Trading and Market Abuse</u>

You acknowledge that rules on dealing notification, insider trading and market abuse (including the terms of any relevant dealing policy) may apply to the Plan benefits and may prohibit or delay actions or decisions in relation to such benefits. You agree that you are solely responsible for compliance with such rules and that the Group is not liable for any loss due to such rules or for any breaches of such rules by you.

<u>Exchange Control and Resale Obligations</u>

Under local exchange controls, currency controls or foreign asset reporting requirements, you may be subject to certain notification, approval and/or repatriation obligations with respect to Shares and any funds you may receive in connection with the Plan.

10

------

Among other things, such obligations may affect your ability to hold Shares, bring Shares into your jurisdiction, reinvest dividends and receive any applicable dividends or dividend equivalents, Share sale proceeds and other payments in a local or foreign account. You may further be subject to local securities law and/or exchange control restrictions and other obligations on the resale of Shares.

You agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with any such obligations that may apply to you in connection with the Plan, and the Company recommends that you obtain independent professional advice in this regard. In the event that you fail to comply with any such obligations, you agree that the Group is not liable in any way for resulting fines or other penalties.

You further agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Group, as may be deemed appropriate by the Group to enable compliance with any such obligations that may be applicable to you or the Group.

<u>Tax and Withholding</u>

You acknowledge and agree that:

(i)all Plan benefits may be subject to tax and social security in the jurisdiction(s) where you are employed, reside or are otherwise subject to tax;

(ii)the Group may withhold amounts in any Share and/or cash payments and make arrangements (including without limitation withholding Plan benefits, withholding other payments in any form that may be due to you, net settlement, 'sell-to-cover' arrangements and requiring you to make payments in any form to the Group or a relevant authority) as considered appropriate by the Group to meet any tax or social security liability. This may include withholding amounts at the locally applicable maximum rates. Your liability may also exceed any amounts withheld and paid on your behalf;

(iii)you are responsible for and bear any liability for any personal tax and social security charges or similar payments due in relation to your participation in the Plan; and

(iv)you indemnify the Group and agree to make any arrangements (including without limitation those described above) deemed appropriate by the Group in order to satisfy such payments and to effect any adjustments required in the event of over-payment or under-payment in respect of them.

The Group does not warrant any particular tax treatment in relation to the Plan benefits and is not obliged to structure such benefits with the aim of achieving any particular tax treatment.

<u>Mobile Employees</u>

If you are a mobile employee, meaning that you are based in different jurisdictions during the course of your employment and/or your participation in the Plan or that you are or may be subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, you are strongly encouraged to inform the Company and to consult your personal tax adviser(s) regarding the tax treatment of any Plan benefits. You should also review the provisions in Part B below that are specific to each jurisdiction which may be applicable to you.

If you transfer your residence and/or employment to another jurisdiction during the course of your participation in the Plan, the Company may in its sole discretion unilaterally determine that different or additional terms and conditions will apply to your participation in the Plan. This provision applies to the extent that any such terms and conditions are considered by the Company to be necessary or advisable in order to comply with local laws, rules and regulations, to facilitate the operation and administration of the Award and the Plan or to otherwise accommodate your transfer.

<u>English Language</u>

You accept that the Plan documents, including all related communications, may be in the English language only and it is possible that no translated or interpreted versions will be provided. The English version of such documents will always prevail in the event of any inconsistency with translated or

11

------

interpreted documents. You agree that you are responsible for ensuring that you fully understand the Plan documents.

<u>Governing Law</u>

The Plan is governed as prescribed in the Plan and the Agreement, and you waive any entitlement to have any Plan-related disputes determined under an alternative jurisdiction except as required by applicable laws.

<u>Severability</u>

If any provision (in whole or in part) of this Addendum or the other Plan documents is to any extent illegal, otherwise invalid, or incapable of being enforced, that provision will be excluded to the extent (only) of such invalidity or unenforceability.

All other provisions will remain in full effect and, to the extent possible, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed replaced by a provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable provision.

<u>Adequate Information</u>

You certify that you:

(i)have been given access to all relevant information and materials with respect to the operations and financial condition of the Company and your participation in the Plan;

(ii)have read and understood such information and materials;

(iii)are fully aware and knowledgeable of the terms and conditions of the Plan; and

(iv)completely and voluntarily agree to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

12

------

**Part B: Provisions Applicable to Participants in Particular Jurisdictions**

You are subject to the wording set out below in relation to each jurisdiction which is or may be applicable to you.

This wording is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws that are understood to be in effect in the relevant jurisdictions as of February 2023. Such laws are often complex and change frequently and the wording does not take into account your individual circumstances. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that you do not rely on such information as your only source of information relating to the consequences of your participation in the Plan, and that you seek ongoing independent professional advice as appropriate.

**EUROPEAN UNION ("EU") / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA ("EEA")**

<u>Securities Laws</u>. This offer is being made to selected employees as part of an employee incentive programme in order to provide an additional incentive and to encourage employee share ownership and to increase your interest in the success of the Company. The company offering these rights is Ingredion Incorporated. The Shares which are the subject of these rights are ordinary Shares in the Company. The Shares have the same rights to information, dividends and voting as other ordinary Shares. More information in relation to the Company including the share price can be found at the following web address: www.ingredion.com.

The obligation to publish a prospectus does not apply because of Article 1(4)(i) of the EU Prospectus Regulation. The total maximum number of Shares which are the subject of this offer is 3,700,000.

**AUSTRALIA**

1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Shareholder Approval Requirement</u>. Notwithstanding any provision in the Award Agreement to the contrary, you will not be entitled to, and shall not claim, any benefit under the Plan if the provision of such benefit would give rise to a breach of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), any other provision of that act, or any other applicable statute, rule or regulation which limits or restricts the giving of such benefits. Further, the Company's affiliate in Australia is under no obligation to seek or obtain the approval of its shareholders for the purpose of overcoming any such limitation or restriction.

2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>New Division</u>. The offer to participate in the Plan is made in reliance of Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

3. <u>Tax Notification</u>. The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to conditions in the act).

4. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Advice</u>. Any advice given by the Company or any of its associated bodies corporate, in relation to Awards under the Plan does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. You should consider obtaining your own financial product advice from a person who is licensed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission to give such advice.

5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Information</u>. The Company undertakes, on request, at no charge and within a reasonable time, to provide you with a full copy of the rules of the Plan.

6. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Share Price</u>. As the Company's Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the market price of ordinary Shares in the Company can be ascertained by visiting the website of the New York Stock Exchange (<u>https://www.nyse.com/index</u>) and the Australian dollar equivalent of that price by applying the prevailing USD/AUD exchange rate published by the Reserve Bank of Australia, which is accessible at the following link: <u>http://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/frequency/exchange-rates.html</u>.

7. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Risk Warning</u>.** There is a risk that Shares, or their cash equivalent, awarded to you under the Plan may fall as well as rise in value through movement of equity markets. Market forces will impact the price of Shares awarded to you, and at their worst, market values of the Shares awarded to you may become zero if adverse market conditions are encountered. As the price of the Shares awarded to you is

13

------

quoted in USD, the value of those Shares, or their cash equivalent, to you may also be affected by movements in foreign currency exchange rates.

8. <u>Tax deferral.</u> This is a scheme to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 applies, subject to the requirements in that Act.

**BRAZIL**

1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Labor Law Acknowledgment</u>. You agree that (i) the benefits provided under the Agreement and the Plan are the result of commercial transactions unrelated to your employment; (ii) the Agreement and the Plan are not a part of the terms and conditions of your employment; and (iii) the income from the exercise of the Award, if any, is not part of your remuneration from employment.

2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Securities Laws</u>. The Awards and any securities granted under the Plan have not been and will not be publicly issued, placed, distributed, offered or negotiated in the Brazilian capital markets and, as a result, will not be registered with the Brazilian Securities Commission (*Comissão de Valores Mobiliários*) (CVM). Therefore, the Awards and securities will not be offered or sold in Brazil, except in circumstances which do not constitute a public offering, placement, distribution or negotiation under the Brazilian capital markets regulations.

3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Risk Warning</u>. If you are employed in Brazil, then by accepting your Award you agree and acknowledge that (i) neither your Employer nor any person or entity acting on behalf of your Employer has provided you with financial advice with respect to your Award or the Shares acquired upon settlement of your Award; and (ii) your Employer does not guarantee a specified level of return on your Award or the Shares.

**CANADA**

1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Use of Previously Owned Shares</u>. Notwithstanding any provision in the Award Agreement, Addendum or the Plan, if you are resident in Canada, you may not use previously owned Shares to pay any Tax-Related Items or other sums due in connection with the Award.

2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Settlement in Shares</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Award Agreement, Addendum or the Plan, your Award shall be settled only in Shares (and may not be settled in cash).

3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Securities Laws</u>. In addition to any restrictions on resale and transfer noted in the Plan documents, Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan will be subject to certain restrictions on resale imposed by Canadian provincial securities laws (in general, if you are resident in Canada you may not resell your Shares to Canadian purchasers). Accordingly, you are encouraged to seek legal advice prior to any resale of such Shares.

You acknowledge and agree that you will only sell Shares acquired through participation in the Plan outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. Currently, the Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

By accepting your Award, you represent and warrant to the Company that your participation in the Plan is voluntary and that you have not been induced to participate by expectation of engagement, appointment, employment, continued engagement, continued appointment or continued employment, as applicable.

4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>English Language</u>. By accepting your Award, you acknowledge that you have expressly requested that all documents evidencing or relating in any way to the grant of the Award (including, for greater certainty, any confirmation or any notice) will be in the English language only.

*(Si vous êtes résident de Québec, vous reconnaissez, en acceptant l'allocation effectuée à votre profit, avoir expressément exigé que tous les documents relatifs à cette allocation ou s'y rapportant de quelque manière que ce soit (incluant, pour plus de certitude, toute confirmation ou tout avis) soient rédigés en anglais uniquement.)*

**CHINA**

The London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR") is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") publicly announced that: immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of all seven Euro LIBOR settings, all seven Swiss Franc LIBOR settings, the spot next, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings, the overnight, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings, and the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after December 31, 2021, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings and the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to consultation by the FCA, be provided on a changed methodology (or "synthetic") basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA's consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, SectionsSection 2.14(b) and (c) provideprovides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers, pursuant to Section 2.14(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to the Daily Simple RFR, LIBOR or other rates in the definition of "LIBO Rate" (or "EURIBOR Rate," as applicable)any interest rate used in this

The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any Daily Simple RFR, interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any RFR, Daily Simple RFR or the Term Benchmark Rateinterest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service. SECTION 1.06. Exchange Rates; Foreign Currency Calculations and Currency Equivalents. (a) The Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall determine the Dollar Equivalent amounts of Borrowings or Letter of Credit extensions denominated in Foreign Currencies on each Revaluation Date.

Such Exchange Rates shall be determined in good faith by the Company. SECTION 1.07. Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit agreement related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the available amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum amount is available to be drawn at such time.

(a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans of the same Type and Agreed Currency made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class.

(b) Subject to Section 2.14, (i) each Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Loans and (ii) each Revolving Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be comprised entirely of EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable, of the same Agreed Currency, in each case, as the Borrowers may request in accordance herewith.

Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that a Swingline Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.06(e); provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceed $25,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of twelve EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Revolving Borrowings or RFR Borrowings outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Loans which are not denominated in Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Sterling or Euro may be made in amounts and increments in the applicable Foreign Currency satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date. (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign office, branch or Affiliate of such Lender that has been designated by such Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Company (an "Applicable Lending Installation") to make such Loan (so long as such designation does not result in any increased costs to the Company or any other Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.17 that would not have otherwise been applicable with respect to such Lender or any such increased costs are waived by such Lender). All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Applicable Lending Installation of such Lender and the Loans and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Applicable Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company, designate replacement or additional Applicable Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made. The making of any Loan by a foreign Applicable Lending Installation or the replacement or addition of any foreign Applicable Lending Installation with respect to an existing Loan shall be treated as an assignment (other than pursuant to Section 2.19(b)) to a Foreign Lender for purposes of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Section 2.17. (f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.02 to the contrary, it is agreed and acknowledged that no Non-Global Lender shall have any Commitment or be required to participate in any Revolving Loan made in a Foreign Currency.

47 Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Company for any reason.

(d) The Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Lender and the successor Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swingline Lender.

After the replacement of the Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans.

A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only (i) if the Issuing Bank agrees to such issuance in its sole discretion and (ii) if (and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit the Company shall be deemed to represent and warrant that) after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (A) the Dollar Equivalent of LC Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000, (B) the Dollar Equivalent of the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Commitments, (C) the Dollar Equivalent of the Revolving Credit Exposure of each Lender shall not exceed its respective Commitment, (D) the Dollar Equivalent of the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit denominated in Foreign Currencies shall not exceed the total Commitments of all Global Lenders, and (E) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders relative to all Subsidiary Borrowers shall not exceed $500,000,000.

An Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (x) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, or any such order, judgment or decree, or law shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital or liquidity requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Effective Date and that such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, or (y) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally. (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any extension thereof, one year after such extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that a Letter of Credit may have an expiration date that is up to one year after the date referred to in clause (ii) above (but not after the date referred to in clause (i) above) but in such instance, not later than five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, the Company shall cash collateralize such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.06(j) or provide a back-up letter of credit satisfactory to the Issuing Bank; provided, further, that, subject to satisfaction of conditions applicable to the extension of Letters of Credit herein, any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the automatic extension thereof for additional one-year periods. (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender's Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Company on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Company for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and

------

![](ingredion2022amendmentno075.jpg)

49 shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, no Non-Global Lender shall be required to acquire a participation in or to reimburse any LC Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency. (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in the currency of such LC Disbursement equal to such LC Disbursement (or, at the election of the applicable Issuing Bank, in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the applicable LC Disbursement) not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Company shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Company prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time (or 3:00 p.m., Local Time, in the event that the Company is reimbursing such LC Disbursements with proceeds of a Swingline Loan), on (i) the Business Day that the Company receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Company receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that (A) if such LC Disbursement is denominated in Dollars, the Company may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount or (B) if such LC Disbursement is denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Company may, subject to the conditions to borrowings set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be converted into an equivalent amount of an ABR Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign Currency and, in each case, to the extent so financed, the Company's obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan, as applicable. If the Company fails to make such payment when due, such amount, if denominated in Foreign Currency, shall be converted to Dollars and shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Global Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Company in respect thereof and such Global Lender's Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Global Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Company (after giving effect to the conversion of any Foreign Currency to Dollars as provided above), in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender in Dollars (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Company pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Global Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Global Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. If the Company's reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Foreign Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Global Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in Dollars, the Company shall, at its option, either (x) pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the relevant Lender or (y) reimburse each LC Disbursement made in such Foreign Currency in Dollars, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof,

50 calculated using the applicable Exchange Rates, on the date such LC Disbursement is made, of such LC Disbursement. (f) Obligations Absolute. The Company's obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Company's obligations hereunder or (v) any adverse change in the relevant Exchange Rates or in the availability of the relevant Foreign Currency to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in translation, any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that nothing in this paragraph (f) shall be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Company that are caused by the Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that such notice need not be given prior to payment by the Issuing Bank and any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full in the currency thereof (or, at the election of the applicable Issuing Bank, in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent amount of the applicable LC Disbursement) on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that

Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. (i) The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (A) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (B) references herein to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or otherwise amend any existing Letter of Credit. (ii) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Company and the Lenders, in which case, such Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.06(i)(i). (j) Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, within one Business Day after the day that the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph or (ii) as of the date five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, any Letter of Credit remains outstanding, in either case, the Company shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders (the "Collateral Account"), an amount in cash in Dollars equal to 103% of the Dollar Equivalent of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Company described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01. Any such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and the Company hereby grants the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in the Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Company's risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for

52 which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Company for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Company under this Agreement. If the Company is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder (i) as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within three Business Days after the date upon which no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) as a result of the expiration of a Letter of Credit extending past the Maturity Date, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within three Business Days after the surrender or expiration of such Letter of Credit. (k) Issuing Bank Agreements. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) promptly following the end of each calendar month, the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding at the end of such month, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letter of Credit to be issued, amended or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (and whether the amount thereof shall have changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any issuance, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement to take any such action that would result in such an increase, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit, the date of such payment under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such payment, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Company fails to reimburse any payment under any Letter of Credit required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such payment and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. (l) Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, or states that a Subsidiary is the "account party," "applicant," "customer," "instructing party," or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Company (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the Company and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. The Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company's business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries. SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by (i) 12:00 noon, Local Time, in the case of a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowings or RFR Borrowings or (ii) 2:00 p.m., Local Time, in the case of an ABR Borrowing, in either case to the account of the Administrative Agent or JPMEL most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received (or, as applicable, wire transferring the amounts so received), in like funds, to an account of the Applicable Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City (or, in the case of Subsidiary Borrowers or Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, in like funds to the account of the Applicable Borrower in such other location as may be designated by the Administrative Agent) and

53 designated by the Company in the applicable Borrowing Request or to such other account as the Company may request and as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided, that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank. (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans, or in the case of Foreign Currencies, in accordance with such market practice, in each case, as applicable. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing. SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and Agreed Currency specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the Applicable Borrower, may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type, in the case of Borrowings denominated in Dollars, or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the Applicable Borrower, may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the Applicable Borrower, shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type and denominated in the Agreed Currency resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the Applicable Borrower. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section shall not be construed to permit any Borrower to (i) change the currency of any Borrowing, (ii) elect an Interest Period for EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d), (iii) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available under the Class of Commitments pursuant to which such Borrowing was made or (iv) elect therequest an RFR Loan denominated in Dollars, a Canadian Prime RateLoan or a Central Bank RateCBR Loan (it being understood and agreed that the Canadian Prime Rate and a Central Bank Rateany such Type of Loan shall only apply to the extent provided in Sections 2.08(e), 2.14(a) and 2.14(gf)).

![](ingredion2022amendmentno080.jpg)

54 (c) Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: (i) the name of the applicable Borrower and the Agreed Currency and principal amount of the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing (in the case of Borrowings denominated in Dollars) or a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing; and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term "Interest Period." If any such Interest Election Request requests a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing. (e) If the Applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the Applicable Borrower, fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Revolving Borrowing in Dollars prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be deemed to have continued as a Eurocurrency BorrowingTerm Benchmark Revolving Borrowing in Dollars with an Interest Period that is one month at the end of such Interest Period. If the Applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the Applicable Borrower, fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing in a Foreign Currency prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Term Benchmark Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected that such Term Benchmark Borrowing shall automatically be continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing in its original Agreed Currency with an Interest Period of one month's duration commencing on the last daymonth at the end of such Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Company, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing: (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing; (ii) unless repaid, each EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing and each RFR Borrowing, in each case denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the

------

![](ingredion2022amendmentno081.jpg)

55 end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Dayimmediately in the case of an RFR Borrowing); (iii) unless repaid, each EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate; and (iv) unless repaid, each EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing and each RFR Borrowing, in each case, denominated in a Foreign Currency (other than Canadian Dollars) shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Central Bank Rate for such Foreign Currency plus the Applicable Rate; CBR Spread; (iv) provided that, in the case of the foregoing clauses (iii) and (iv), if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Canadian Prime Rate or Central Bank Rate for the applicable Foreign Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Eurocurrency Loans denominated in such Foreign Currency shall, at the election of the Applicable Borrower, either be (A) converted to an ABR Borrowing denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign Currency) at the end of the Interest Period or on the Interest Payment Date, as applicable, therefor (or immediately in the case of an RFR Loan) or (B) prepaid in full at the end of the applicable Interest Period, as applicable, in full (or immediately in the case of an RFR Loan); provided further that if no election in respect of any such Term Benchmark Loan is made by the Applicable Borrower by the earlier of (x) the date that is three Business Days after receipt by any Borrower of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Loan, the Applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) above. SECTION 2.09. Termination, Reduction and Increase of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitment of each Lender shall terminate on the Maturity Date. (b) The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, (x) the Dollar Equivalent amount of the total Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders would exceed the total Commitments or (y) the Dollar Equivalent amount of the total Revolving Credit Exposures of the Global Lenders with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit denominated in Foreign Currencies would exceed the total Commitments of all Global Lenders. (c) The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the consummation of a specified transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or

------

![](ingredion2022amendmentno082.jpg)

56 reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. (d) The Company may, from time to time, at its option, seek to increase the total Commitments or enter into one or more tranches of term loans (each an "Incremental Term Loan") upon at least three Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such increase or tranche (the amount of which shall not be less than $25,000,000 or such lesser amount as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and shall be delivered at a time when no Default has occurred and is continuing; provided that, after giving effect thereto, the sum of the total of the additional Commitments and Incremental Term Loans shall not exceed $750,000,000. After delivery of such notice, the Administrative Agent or the Company, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, may offer the increase (which may be declined by any Lender in its sole discretion) in the total Commitments or tranche of Incremental Term Loans on either a ratable basis to the Lenders or on a non pro-rata basis to one or more Lenders and/or to other Lenders or entities (other than any Ineligible Institution) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Company and, in the case of any additional Commitments, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender. No increase in the total Commitments or tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall become effective until the existing or new Lenders extending such incremental Commitment amounts or Incremental Term Loan amount and the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a document in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which shall include the Company's representation that the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are then satisfied) pursuant to which any such existing Lender states the amount of its Commitment increase or commitment to participate in such tranche of Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, any such new Lender states the amount of its Commitment or commitment to participate in such tranche of Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, and agrees to assume and accept the obligations and rights of a Lender hereunder and the Company accepts such incremental Commitments or commitment to participate in such tranche of Incremental Term Loans. Upon the effectiveness of any increase in the total Commitments pursuant hereto, (i) each Lender (new or existing) shall be deemed to have accepted an assignment from the existing Lenders, and the existing Lenders shall be deemed to have made an assignment to each new or existing Lender accepting a new or increased Commitment, of an interest in each then outstanding Revolving Loan (in each case, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Assignment and Assumption) and (ii) the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the existing and new Lenders shall be automatically adjusted such that, after giving effect to such assignments and adjustments, all Revolving Credit Exposure hereunder is held ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments. Assignments pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in exchange for, and substantially contemporaneously with the payment to the assigning Lenders of, the principal amount assigned plus accrued and unpaid interest and commitment and Letter of Credit fees. Payments received by assigning Lenders pursuant to this Section in respect of the principal amount of any EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Loan shall, for purposes of Section 2.16, be deemed prepayments of such Loan. The Incremental Term Loans (x) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Loans, (y) other than with respect to any Specified Farm Credit Loans, shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date (but may have amortization prior to such date) and (z) shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Revolving Loans; provided that (A) the terms and conditions applicable to any tranche of Incremental Term Loans maturing after the Maturity Date may provide for material additional or different financial or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during periods after the Maturity Date and (B) the Incremental Term Loans may be priced differently than the Revolving Loans, and may include separate prepayment and amortization requirements.

------

![](ingredion2022amendmentno083.jpg)

57 Increases to the Commitments and tranches of Incremental Term Loans may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or amendment and restatement (an "Incremental Amendment") of this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by the Borrowers, each Lender participating in such tranche and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.09 and reflect the applicable increase in Commitments and Incremental Term Loans. Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any increase or addition, the Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise Schedule 2.01 to reflect such increase or addition and shall distribute such revised Schedule 2.01 to each of the Lenders and the Borrowers, whereupon such revised Schedule 2.01 shall replace the former Schedule 2.01 and become part of this Agreement. Any increase of the total Commitments or tranche of Incremental Term Loans extended pursuant to this Section shall be subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers of such supplemental opinions, resolutions, certificates and other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders agreeing to new or increased Commitments or agreeing to provide Incremental Term Loans) shall be required for any incremental Commitment provided or Incremental Term Loan made pursuant to this Section 2.09(d). In connection with any increase of the Commitments or tranche of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09, any new lending institution becoming a party hereto shall (1) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (2) provide to the Administrative Agent its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with "know your customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act. SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Applicable Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each of its Revolving Loans on the Maturity Date in the currency of such Loan and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made to any Borrower, the Company shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any such Borrowing shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to repay any Swingline Loans outstanding. (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class, Agreed Currency and the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof. (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any

------

![](ingredion2022amendmentno084.jpg)

58 error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). (f) If at any time (x) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of the Lenders exceeds the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders or (y) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit denominated in Foreign Currencies exceeds the aggregate Commitments of the Global Lenders, the Company shall (or shall cause one or more Subsidiary Borrowers to) immediately prepay the Revolving Loans in the amount of such excess. To the extent that, after the prepayment of all Revolving Loans an excess of the Revolving Credit Exposure over the aggregate Commitments still exists, the Company shall (or shall cause one or more Subsidiary Borrowers to) promptly cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in the manner described in Section 2.06(j) in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. (g) The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate LC Exposure and the Dollar Equivalent of each Loan on each applicable Revaluation Date. If at any time the sum of such amounts exceeds 105% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders (or the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate LC Exposure and Loans denominated in Foreign Currencies exceeds 105% of the aggregate Commitments of the Global Lenders), the Company shall (or shall cause one or more Subsidiary Borrowers to) immediately prepay the Loans in the amount of such excess. To the extent that, after the prepayment of all Loans an excess of the sum of such amounts over 105% of the aggregate Commitments (or Commitments of the Global Lenders, as applicable) still exists, the Company shall (or shall cause one or more Subsidiary Borrowers to) promptly cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in the manner described in Section 2.06(j) in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section. (b) The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of any prepayment hereunder (i)(x) in the case of prepayment of a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of prepayment and (y) in the case of prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing denominated in Euros or Canadian Dollars or any CBR Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) (x) in the case of prepayment of an RFR Revolving Borrowing denominated in Sterling, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, five RFR Business Days before the date of prepayment and (y) in the case of prepayment of an RFR Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, four RFR Business Days before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date of prepayment or (iv) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in

![](ingredion2022amendmentno085.jpg)

59 connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09(c), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09(c). Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02 (or, in the case of any Loan that may not be requested pursuant to Section 2.02, in such amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same currency as provided in Section 2.02). Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13 and any break funding payments required by Section 2.16. SECTION 2.12. Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily amount of the difference between the Commitment of such Lender and the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender (excluding its Swingline Exposure) during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the fifteenth day following the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitment of such Lender terminates, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). (b) The Company agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Revolving Loans on the Dollar Equivalent of the average daily maximum stated amount of such Lender's LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender's Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the Company and the Issuing Bank on the Dollar Equivalent of the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank's standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the fifteenth day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). (c) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Company and the Administrative Agent.

Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any of the Borrowers has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e). (f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax; (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E,

70 as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty; (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of the Applicable Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a "U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate") and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA

![](ingredion2022amendmentno097.jpg)

71 or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. (iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (h) Survival. Each party's obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document. (i) Issuing Bank. For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term "Lender" includes any Issuing Bank. SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) Except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, each of the Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) in Dollars prior to 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due or the date fixed for any prepayment hereunder and all payments with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be made in such Foreign Currency not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent (or the applicable Issuing Bank) on the dates specified herein, in each case, in immediately available funds, without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments

------

![](ingredion2022amendmentno098.jpg)

72 received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of (i) principal or interest in respect of any Loan shall be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, (ii) reimbursement obligations shall be made in the currency in which the Letter of Credit in respect of which such reimbursement obligation exists is denominated or (iii) any other amount due hereunder or under another Credit Document shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall at or before such time have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any law from making any required payment hereunder in a Foreign Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency payment amount. (b) At any time that payments are not required to be applied in the manner required by Section 7.03, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender of the applicable Class, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders of such Class without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders except as contemplated by Section 9.04 in respect of assignments to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of such Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any of the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each of the Borrowers consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Applicable Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Applicable Borrower in the amount of such participation.

73 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Overnight Rate. (e) If and for so long as any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and (ii) following application of such amounts under the foregoing clause (i), hold any remaining such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or (ii) any of the Borrowers is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Company) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. (b) In addition to the Borrowers' rights under Section 9.02(c), if any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, any Lender delivers a notice under Section 2.14(hg), if any of the Borrowers is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee (other than any Ineligible Institution) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent's prior written consent shall not be required if such assignee is another Lender, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all

![](ingredion2022amendmentno100.jpg)

74 other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (ii) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender; provided, further that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto. SECTION 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: (a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a); (b) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7.03 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender's potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders

------

![](ingredion2022amendmentno101.jpg)

75 on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Borrowers' obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to paragraph (d) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto; (c) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that (i) a Defaulting Lender's Commitment may not be increased or extended without its consent and (ii) the principal amount of, or interest or fees payable on, Loans of such Defaulting Lender may not be reduced or excused or the scheduled date of payment postponed as to such Defaulting Lender without such Defaulting Lender's consent; (d) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: (i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders of the applicable Class in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders' Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender's Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders' Commitments and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time; (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only the Borrowers' obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.20(d) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; (iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(i) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure is cash collateralized; (iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b)(i) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders' Applicable Percentages; and (v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b)(i) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure shall be payable

------

![](ingredion2022amendmentno102.jpg)

76 to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and (e) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender's then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.20(d), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(d)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Applicable Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender's Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. SECTION 2.21. Extension of Maturity Date. (a) Requests for Extension. The Company may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than 90 days and not later than 35 days prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date, but not more than twice during the term of this Agreement (each an "Extension Date"), request that each Lender extend such Lender's Maturity Date for an additional one year from the Maturity Date then in effect hereunder (the "Existing Termination Date"). (b) Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date that is ten Business Days after receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of the Company's request for an extension (the "Notice Date"), advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (each such Lender that determines to so extend its Maturity Date, being an "Extending Lender" and each Lender that determines not to so extend its Maturity Date, being a "Non-Extending Lender"). In the event that a Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date such Lender shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree. (c) Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of each Lender's determination under this Section no later than the date 15 days prior to the applicable Extension Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).

![](ingredion2022amendmentno103.jpg)

77 (d) Additional Lenders. If (and only if) the Required Lenders have agreed to extend the Maturity Date then in effect hereunder, the Company shall have the right at any time prior to the existing Maturity Date applicable to any Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as "Lenders" under this Agreement, one or more Persons (other than any Ineligible Institution) which would be permitted assignees pursuant to Section 9.04 (each, an "Additional Lender") in accordance with the provisions contained in Section 9.04; provided that (i) each of such Additional Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Lender shall, effective as of the date of the Assignment and Assumption, undertake a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender's Commitment hereunder on such date) and (ii) the Non-Extending Lender assignor shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the Additional Lender (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts). (e) Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the Required Lenders have agreed so to extend the Maturity Date then in effect hereunder as described in this Section 2.21, then, effective as of such Extension Date, the Maturity Date of each Extending Lender and each Additional Lender shall be extended to the date falling one year after the Existing Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such date shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Additional Lender shall thereupon become a "Lender" for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that there shall be no change in the Maturity Date of any Non-Extending Lender. (f) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section shall not be effective with respect to any Lender unless: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto; (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Article III shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects in the case of any representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect) on and as of the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects in the case of any representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect) on and as of such earlier date; (iii) the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of its chief financial officer or treasurer as to the satisfaction of conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) immediately above on the date of the applicable extension; and (iv) on the Maturity Date of each Non-Extending Lender, the Non-Extending Lender shall have received non-ratable payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the Applicable Borrower or the Company and the Commitment of such Non-Extending Lender shall be terminated. The Applicable Percentages of the remaining Lenders shall be revised as of such date.

Upon any such designation of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary and, in the case of a designated Subsidiary which is a Foreign Subsidiary, the approval of such designation by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, such Subsidiary shall be a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder (with all the related rights and obligations) and shall be entitled to request Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit on and subject to the terms and conditions of, and to the extent provided in, this Agreement.

Any Termination Letter furnished hereunder shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a Termination Letter with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower shall not terminate (i) any obligation, contingent or otherwise, of such Subsidiary Borrower that remains unpaid at the time of such delivery or (ii) the obligations of the Company under Article X with respect to any such unpaid obligations.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, the Borrowers, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks.

If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders and so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing, the Company) after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Company (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default under paragraphs (a), (b), (h) and (i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent.

(ii) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a "Payment Notice") or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agree that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from

111 (F) a Global Lender shall only assign its rights, duties and obligations to an assignee that agrees to become and shall be a Global Lender, and a Non-Global Lender shall only assign its rights, duties and obligations to an assignee that agrees to become and shall be a Non-Global Lender.

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of (and stated interest on) the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

112 shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than an Ineligible Institution) (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant and provided, further, that any Participant that is a member of the Farm Credit System that has purchased a participation in any Loan of CoBank, ACB in the minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 on the Effective Date shall be entitled to vote (and the voting rights of the selling Lender shall be correspondingly reduced), on a dollar for dollar basis, as if such Participant were a Lender, on any matter requiring or allowing such selling Lender to provide or withhold its consent, or otherwise vote on any proposed action. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such Participant is entitled to receive a greater payment as a result of a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(f) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Each Lender, each Person acquiring a participation from any Lender as contemplated by Section 9.04, and each Borrower hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange. Each of the Borrowers and the Lenders agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes so executed and delivered; provided that the failure of any Borrower to execute or deliver or of any Revolving Lender to accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange. (b) As a result of the CAM Exchange, on and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Credit Document in respect of the Designated Obligations shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages (to be redetermined as of each such date of payment or distribution to the extent required by paragraph (c) below). (c) In the event that, after the CAM Exchange, the aggregate amount of the Designated Obligations shall change as a result of the making of an LC Disbursement by any Issuing Bank that is not

------

![](ingredion2022amendmentno148.jpg)

122 reimbursed by any Borrower, then (i) each Lender shall, in accordance with Section 2.06(d), promptly purchase from such Issuing Bank the Dollar Equivalent of a participation in such LC Disbursement in the amount of such Lender's Applicable Percentage of such LC Disbursement (without giving effect to the CAM Exchange), (ii) the Administrative Agent shall redetermine the CAM Percentages after giving effect to such LC Disbursement and the purchase of participations therein by the applicable Lenders, and the Lenders shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have made reciprocal purchases of interests in the Designated Obligations such that each Lender shall own an interest equal to such Lender's CAM Percentage in each of the Designated Obligations and (iii) in the event distributions shall have been made in accordance with clause (i) of paragraph (b) above, the Lenders shall make such payments to one another in Dollars as shall be necessary in order that the amounts received by them shall be equal to the amounts they would have received had each LC Disbursement been outstanding immediately prior to the CAM Exchange. Each such redetermination shall be binding on each of the Lenders and their successors and assigns in respect of the Designated Obligations held by such Persons and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Nothing in this Article shall prohibit the assignment by any Lender of interests in some but not all of the Designated Obligations held by it after giving effect to the CAM Exchange; provided, that in connection with any such assignment such Lender and its assignee shall enter into an agreement setting forth their reciprocal rights and obligations in the event of a redetermination of the CAM Percentages as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph.

In addition, the Company's Chairman of the Board receives an additional annual retainer of $160,000, which is comprised of 100% cash and shall be paid in equal quarterly installments on the Revised Payment Schedule (no change in amount from the prior year, although the retainer is now 100% cash and the timing of the payment has been updated to the Revised Payment Schedule).
