Eurazeo

Paris, February 1, 2019 – Eurazeo, Idia, Future French Champions, and Unigrains, Neovia shareholders
since 2015 alongside InVivo (historical majority shareholder), have today announced the effective sale of
all Neovia shares to Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM).

Over the past three years, spurred by Eurazeo and InVivo, its historical shareholder, as well as its
management team, Neovia has undergone an in-depth transformation and accelerated its international
reach, while expanding into high added-value businesses. Over the period, the company carried out more
than 15 acquisitions worldwide, boosting its revenue outside Europe from 52% to nearly 75%. Backed by
its new shareholder, with its highly complementary market positions, Neovia is well positioned to further
its global leadership in animal nutrition.

Transaction sales proceeds for Eurazeo and its investor partners total €225 million, including €170 million
for Eurazeo, representing a return on its initial investment of nearly 2x and an IRR of approximately 20%.
