QUANTUMONLINE.COM SECURITY DESCRIPTION: Archer Daniels Midland Co., 6.25% Equity Units, stated amount $50 per unit, initially consisting of Corporate Units which include a stock purchase contract and a 1/20th interest in a 4.70% debenture due 2041 with a principal amount of $1000. The stock purchase contract requires the holder to purchase for $50 a variable number of shares of Archer Daniels Midland Co. (NYSE: ADM) common stock no later than 6/1/2011 and pays a contract adjustment rate of 1.55% per annum. The stock purchase settlement rate will be 1.0453 shares per unit if the then current market price is equal to or greater than $47.83 and 1.2544 shares per unit if the market price is equal to or less than $39.86. For market prices between those values the settlement rate will be $50 divided by the market value. Prior to the IPO of this security, the last reported sale price of the common stock on 5/28/2008 was $39.86 per share. The debenture is due 6/1/2041 and is subject to reset and remarketing during the two week period ending 2/24/2011 with a second optional two week period ending 4/12/2011. The Corporate Units pay quarterly distributions of 6.25% ($3.125) per annum on 3/1, 6/1, 9/1 & 12/1 to holders of record on the record date which is the 15th day of the month prior to the payment date (NOTE: the ex-dividend date is at least 2 business days prior to the record date). Distributions paid by these securities are derived from interest paid on the underlying debt securities and therefore are NOT eligible for the 15% tax rate on dividends and are also NOT eligible for the dividend received deduction for corporate holders. The debentures are pledged as collateral to secure the holder's obligations under the stock purchase contract. The holder has the right at any time to convert the Corporate Units to Treasury Units by the substitution of a specified zero-coupon U.S. Treasury security for the debentures and to later recreate Corporate Units. The debentures are unsecured and rank equally with the company's other unsecured senior indebtedness.
