All new facilities are guaranteed by Bunge Global SA and include covenants requiring the maintenance of a maximum consolidated adjusted net debt to consolidated adjusted capitalization ratio and a maximum secured indebtedness to tangible assets ratio.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The new agreements replace the following terminated facilities, under which no borrowings were outstanding at the time of termination:
- Terminated $3.2 Billion Revolving Credit Agreement: Previously a 5-year facility maturing March 1, 2029. Replaced by the new $4.2 billion facility.
- Terminated $3.5 Billion Revolving Agreement: Previously a 3-year facility maturing October 6, 2026. Replaced by the new $3.5 billion facility.
- Terminated $1.1 Billion 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement: Previously maturing April 10, 2026. Replaced by the new 364-day facility.
- Terminated CoBank Credit Agreement: Previously a $1.665 billion facility dated July 7, 2023. Amended and restated under the new terms.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: Proceeds from the new borrowings are designated for general corporate purposes. The restructuring extends maturity dates for key facilities and provides flexibility through accordion provisions to increase total commitments if needed.
Risks and Contingencies: The agreements contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on incurring additional liens or indebtedness, and restrictions on mergers, consolidations, or joint ventures. Failure to maintain the required financial ratios (net debt to capitalization and secured indebtedness to tangible assets) could constitute an event of default.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific interest rate margins and SOFR adjustments applicable to the new facilities based on current credit ratings.
- Confirm the current consolidated adjusted net debt to consolidated adjusted capitalization ratio to ensure compliance with new covenants.
- Review the full text of Exhibits 10.1 through 10.8 for detailed covenant definitions and events of default.
- Monitor the utilization of the accordion provisions, which could increase total available credit by up to $2.25 billion across the facilities.
