By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Sept. 27 - Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. issued $527.68 million of new 4.535% senior debentures due 2042 in connection with the expiration of the early participation period for its previously announced exchange offers, according to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The coupon of the new debentures was determined using the yield on the 4.375% Treasury due May 15, 2014 at 11 a.m. ET on Sept. 21. The bid-side yield was 3.185%.

As reported, the early participation date in the private exchange offers was extended to 5 p.m. ET on Sept. 23 from 5 p.m. ET on Sept. 21.

The debentures eligible for the offer are the company's 7.5% debentures due 2027, 6.75% debentures due 2027, 6.625% debentures due 2029, 7% debentures due 2031, 6.45% debentures due 2038 and 6.95% debentures due 2097.

As of 5 p.m. ET on Sept. 21, holders had tendered $403,087,000 principal amount of debentures.
