EXCLUSIVE DISCUSSIONS INITIATED WITH ADM TO SELL NEOVIA

PARIS, July 2, 2018

Eurazeo, Idia, Future French Champions, and Unigrains, Neovia group shareholders since 2015, alongside InVivo (the group's historic shareholder), are pleased to announce the launch of exclusive discussions with Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM), for the sale of Neovia's entire share capital based on an enterprise value of €1,535 million.

Founded in France in 1954, Neovia produces and sells a broad range of nutrition solutions for animal feed producers. Its activities include premix and high value-added services, petcare, additives and ingredients, aquaculture, and complete animal feed. Neovia is currently consolidated within InVivo, a leading French agricultural cooperative group, and employs some 8,200 people. Backed by 11 R&D centers in six countries, its significant innovation capacity was key to generating revenue of €1.7 billion in 2017. Its solid presence in Central and South America and in Southeast Asia and Europe, in contrast to its limited U.S presence, complement ADM's commercial positioning.

Under the impetus of Eurazeo, InVivo, the group's historic shareholder, and its management teams, the Neovia group has undergone a profound transformation over the last three years, and accelerated its expansion both internationally and into higher added-value businesses. Over the period, the company carried out over 15 acquisitions in various geographies.

Under French law, the signature of a purchase agreement is subject to a preliminary information and consultation process involving employee representatives. The acquisition is expected to be finalized in Q4 2018, following the completion of this process and the receipt of supervisory authority approval.
