From the latest earnings call
- James Zallie said Argo’s refinery issues had been addressed and oil processing was back at historical run rates, with targeted investment planned to improve reliability.
- Jason Payant said Ingredion’s underlying full-year expectations were otherwise unchanged after the Pakistan sale, with better Texture & Healthful Solutions performance offset by softer U.S./Canada performance.

Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards
at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s
shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end.
Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more.
