ARCHER-DANIELS-MIDLAND INVESTIGATION INITIATED by Former Louisiana Attorney General: Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Investigates the Officers and Directors of Archer-Daniels-Midland Company - ADM

Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (“ADM” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ADM).

On January 21, 2024, the Company disclosed that its Chief Financial Officer had been placed on leave “pending an ongoing investigation being conducted by outside counsel for ADM and the Board’s Audit Committee regarding certain accounting practices and procedures with respect to ADM’s Nutrition segment, including as related to certain intersegment transactions.” Further, its investigation was initiated in response to a voluntary document request by the SEC and as a result, the Company delayed its Q4 and FY 2023 earnings release and withdrew its outlook for its Nutrition segment. Subsequently, the Company revised six years of financial statements related to its Nutrition segment. Then, on February 5, 2024, the Company disclosed that the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) initiated a criminal probe into the Company’s accounting practices and the DOJ directed grand jury subpoenas to certain current and former employees.

KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether ADM’s officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
