On February 7, 2012 the Compensation Committee (the Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Corn Products International, Inc.

Approval of Cash Incentive Bonuses for 2011 under Annual Incentive Plan

The Committee approved annual cash bonuses earned in 2011 for the Company’s named executive officers (the “2011 AIP Bonuses”).  The 2011 AIP Bonuses were earned based upon the achievement of performance goals established by the Committee in early 2011.  The Committee exercised its discretion to not include the impact of a $58.4 million gain as a result of a payment from the Government of Mexico pursuant to a settlement in the Company’s favor regarding a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) dispute in the calculation of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) for purposes of determining 2011 performance under the Annual Incentive Plan.

The 2011 AIP Bonuses approved for the named executive officers were as follow:

Setting of Performance Criteria for Cash Bonuses for 2012 under Annual Incentive Plan

The Committee established the performance criteria applicable for cash incentives that certain employees are eligible to earn for 2012 under the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan (“2012 AIP Bonuses”).  Participants are eligible to earn bonuses for 2012 ranging from 0% to 200% of target depending on whether and to what extent the goals established by the Committee are attained.

2012 AIP Bonuses for Ilene S. Gordon, Cheryl K. Beebe, John F. Saucier and Mary Ann Hynes will be determined on the basis of goals for total Company EBITDA (60%), total Company operating working capital net of margin accounts (15%) and personal objectives (25%), the 2012 AIP bonus for Jack C. Fortnum will be determined on the basis of goals for total Company and regional EBITDA (60%), total Company operating working capital net of margin accounts (15%) and personal objectives (25%), in each case as approved by the Committee.
