What is the primary purpose of these amendments to Bunge's credit facilities?

The primary purpose of these amendments is to increase Bunge's available borrowing capacity under its U.S. and European revolving credit facilities. This enhancement provides greater financial flexibility and liquidity, particularly to support Bunge's operations and potential integration costs related to the pending acquisition of Viterra Limited.

How much will Bunge's total borrowing capacity increase?

The BLFC U.S. Revolving Credit Agreement now has aggregate commitments of up to $3.2 billion. The BFE European Revolving Facility Agreement has increased its total commitments to $3.5 billion. A significant portion of this increased capacity, totaling $1.25 billion in the U.S. and $1.75 billion in Europe, is contingent on the approval of the Viterra acquisition.

When will the full increased borrowing capacity become available?

The full increased borrowing capacity, specifically the 'Incremental Commitments' under the BLFC facility ($1.25 billion) and the 'Additional Commitments' under the BFE facility ($1.75 billion), will become available only after Bunge certifies that the applicable governmental authorities have approved its acquisition of Viterra Limited. Until then, only the existing committed amounts are fully available.

Does Bunge Global SA guarantee these new credit facilities?

Yes, Bunge Global SA provides guarantees for the obligations of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bunge Limited Finance Corp. (BLFC) and Bunge Finance Europe B.V. (BFE), under these amended and restated revolving credit agreements. This demonstrates the parent company's commitment to these financial arrangements.
