Explanatory Note

At 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on November 1, 2023 (the “Effective Time”), Bunge Limited, a Bermuda company (“Bunge Bermuda”), completed the previously disclosed Bermuda Law Scheme of Arrangement (the “Scheme of Arrangement”) that effected certain transactions (the “Redomestication”) resulting in the shareholders of Bunge Bermuda becoming the holders of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Bunge Global SA, a Swiss corporation (“Bunge Switzerland”).

As previously disclosed, the Redomestication was approved by Bunge Bermuda’s shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting held on October 5, 2023. The terms and conditions of the Scheme of Arrangement were sanctioned by the Bermuda Court by an order (“Order”) and the Order was delivered to the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda as required by Section 99 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda.

In connection with the Redomestication, Bunge Bermuda, Bunge Switzerland and Bunge MergerCo (as defined below), entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as defined below), pursuant to which, among others:

Prior to the Redomestication, the Common Shares were registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The Common Shares were suspended from trading on NYSE at the close of trading on October 31, 2023, and NYSE filed a Form 25 to delist the Common Shares from NYSE and from registration under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act on November 1, 2023. Bunge Bermuda expects to file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration under the Exchange Act of Common Shares and suspend all of its reporting obligations under Sections 12(g) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act 10 days after the date such Form 25 is filed.

The Registered Shares were exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act, Bunge Switzerland is the successor issuer to Bunge Bermuda, the Registered Shares are deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and Bunge Switzerland is subject to the periodic and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

The Registered Shares began trading on NYSE under the symbol “BG,” which is the same symbol under which the Common Shares were previously traded. The CUSIP number for the Registered Shares is H11356104.
