Explanation of Responses:

1. The reported shares of ADM Common stock are held by a limited partnership (Partnership) the general partner of which is a limited liability company of which the managing member is the reporting person. The reporting person has consistently reported as beneficially owned all of the ADM common stock held by the Partnership, but disclaims beneficial ownership of the ADM common stock held by the Partnership except to the extent of the reporting person's pecuniary interest therein. On July 8, 2011, a member of the reporting person's immediate family transferred her limited partner interest in the Partnership, which includes her proportionate interest in the ADM common stock held by the Partnership, to a trust established by that family member (and of which the reporting person is a co-trustee and one of the beneficiaries).

2. The transaction involves a gift transfer between trusts established by a member of the reporting person's immediate family and of each of which the reporting person is a co-trustee and beneficiary. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the ADM common stock held by these trusts except to the extent of the reporting person's pecuniary interest therein.
