During the weekend of October 12-13, Ingredion detected suspicious activity affecting several servers within certain data centers. As part of our comprehensive response plan, we immediately took steps to identify and contain the situation. At this time, we are not aware of evidence that any customer, supplier or employee data has been improperly accessed, misused or transferred by any third party. We are working to get the affected servers back online and have engaged a third-party consultant to assist. Restoration of some of our systems will take time, and in the interim, certain transactions with customers or suppliers may be delayed.
