EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Deregistration of Securities

 

This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) of Bunge Limited, a Bermuda company (the “Registrant”), which have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), to deregister any and all shares of the Registrant’s common shares, $0.01 par value per share, registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under each such Registration Statement as of the date hereof:

 

·

File No. 333-66594, as filed with the Commission on August 2, 2001.

 

·

File No. 333-76938, as filed with the Commission on January 18, 2002.

 

·

File No. 333-109446, as filed with the Commission on October 3, 2003.

 

·

File No. 333-125426, as filed with the Commission on June 1, 2005.

 

·

File No. 333-143529, as filed with the Commission on June 5, 2007.

 

On October 31, 2023, the Registrant received approval from the Supreme Court of Bermuda of a Scheme of Arrangement under Bermuda law (the “Scheme of Arrangement”) that would change the place of incorporation of the ultimate parent company of the Registrant and its subsidiaries from Bermuda to Switzerland (the “Redomestication”). The Scheme of Arrangement became effective upon receipt of the court approval and the filing of such approval with the Bermuda Registrar of Companies on October 31, 2023.

 

As a result of the Redomestication, any offerings of the Registrant’s securities pursuant to the Registration Statements have been terminated. This Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statements is being filed to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statements and remove from registration any and all securities previously registered but unsold under the Registration Statements as of the effective time of the Redomestication. In accordance with undertakings made by the registrant in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered under the Registration Statements that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the registrant hereby removes from registration the securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statements, if any.
