        <footnote id="F1">These are restricted stock units (&quot;RSUs&quot;) issued under the Ingredion Incorporated Stock Incentive Plan. The RSUs may be settled only in shares of common stock (one share per RSU) and will vest as follows:
- Regular Vesting:  The RSUs will vest one-third per year at the end of years one, two and three.
-  Upon Death, Disability or Retirement (defined as age 55 with 10 years of service, age 62 and 5 years of service, (or age 65): the RSUs will vest on a pro-rata basis using the number of full months employed during the thirty-six month vesting period.  Any outstanding RSU granted more than one-year prior to retirement would be 100% vested.
-  Change-in-control (&quot;CIC&quot;):  &quot;Double trigger&quot; in the event grants are not assumed or equitably replaced after CIC, accelerated vesting would occur upon a qualifying termination event.</footnote>
