On January 22, 2024, ADM filed a Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing that “the Board of Directors of the Company (the ‘Board’) has appointed Ismael Roig to serve as the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer. The appointment follows the decision of the Board on January 19, 2024 to place Vikram Luthar, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, on administrative leave, effective immediately.” According to the Form 8-K, “Mr. Luthar’s leave is pending an ongoing investigation being conducted by outside counsel for the Company and the Board’s Audit Committee regarding certain accounting practices and procedures with respect to the Company’s Nutrition reporting segment, including as related to certain intersegment transactions.”
