● |
Creates highly-efficient producer of ethanol and low-carbon biopower, with opportunities for synergies, operational improvements and future growth

$775 million of total cash proceeds to Bunge from the transaction.
|
● |
Joint venture will operate on a stand-alone basis; and upon the closing of the transaction, Bunge will no longer consolidate its sugar and bioenergy
operations in Brazil in its consolidated financial statements. Bunge will account for its interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting.
