Objectives

• Alternative source of capital • Funding at favorable rates • Global & scalable program • Enhanced operational efficiency 7

Alternative source of capital at favorable rates

• 5-year program, backed with 364-day liquidity facility • Primary funding via bank-owned Commercial Paper Conduits • Good momentum as conduits are eager to invest in trade receivables: Low-risk asset class Matching maturity with commercial paper (up to 60 days) • Reciprocity: syndication with 4 core relationship banks • All-in cost of fund 1M Libor ~ 115 bps (mainly depending CP Cost of Fund) • No financial covenants, only wind down events 8

Global & scalable program

• Economies of scale resulting in higher funding capacity:  Minimize excess country and obligor concentrations • Scalability of the program:  Add jurisdictions and currencies • Scalability of facility amount:  Absorb higher volume (organic growth, higher prices, acquisitions) • In recent years, more countries have developed legal and regulatory framework to allow cross border securitization, however increasingly tax is used to narrow budget deficit gaps 9

Enhanced operational efficiency

• Replacement of three local securitizations and five factoring facilities in North America and Europe • Centralized set-up, management and administration by Treasury • Data-gathering, reporting and analysis outsourced to well-known service provider (Finacity) • Cashless settlement via in-house bank • One-off audit opinion for US GAAP off balance sheet treatment 10

Notable highlights

• Structure: US (5 originators), Canada, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Hungary Multi-currency facility: USD, CAD, EUR, HUF 26 eligible obligor jurisdictions • Effective liquidity management by daily re-investment of collections • Collections remain on Bunge’s bank accounts • Trade receivable portfolio structured on an implied AA-rating • Funding base can be affected by sales volumes, commodity prices, FX-volatility and country & obligor ratings • Advance rate 85%-88% (aim was 80% or higher) 11

Key considerations

• In-depth analysis (receivables portfolio, contracts, A/R & credit management, IT systems, bank accounts) • Communication & commitment: Dedicated project team (very different from RCF, bi-laterals etc.) Reasonable timelines and clear requirements for operating companies • Structuring & Syndication: Selection of lead arranger Deal structuring with lead arranger only (use Top Tier law firms) Custom-made (structure to specific company needs / features) • Early blue-print of Day-to-Day management: outsourcing, IT-support, data gathering, reporting / analysis, settlements 15

Next Steps – new countries to be added
