CHICAGO, March 25 (Reuters) - Archer-Daniels-Midland Co ( ADM )

CEO Juan Luciano was paid $21.6 million in 2024, down

from $24.4 million the prior year, according to a securities

filing on Tuesday, and following accounting problems and cost

pressures that have triggered layoffs and sent shares

plummeting.

The Chicago-based grain trader was forced to revise six

years of financial statements early last year and further

restate some earnings later in the year after an internal

investigation into its financial reports.
