Bunge and Viterra complete strategic merger to create premier diversified global agribusiness solutions company
Torys acted as Canadian counsel to Viterra and its shareholders with a team led by Omar Wakil and that included Rebecca Wagner, Eric Patenaude and Ian Li.
On July 2, 2025, Bunge Limited (“Bunge”) announced the closing of the previously announced definitive agreement with Viterra Limited, a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Jersey (“Viterra”), together with Glencore PLC (“Glencore”), Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPP Investments”) and British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (“BCI”), to merge with Viterra in a stock and cash transaction.
Under the terms of the agreement, dated June 13, 2023, Viterra shareholders received approximately 65.6 million shares of Bunge stock, with an aggregate value of approximately US$6.2 billion, and approximately US$2 billion in cash, representing a consideration mix of approximately 75% Bunge stock and 25% cash. As part of the transaction, Bunge assumed US$9.8 billion of Viterra debt, which is associated with approximately US$9.0 billion of highly-liquid readily marketable inventories.
The merger of Bunge and Viterra will create an innovative global agribusiness company well positioned to meet the demands of increasingly complex markets and better serve farmers and end-customers. Together, Bunge and Viterra will have greater capacity to invest in global initiatives that enhance and connect value chains with increased optionality to provide solutions to farmers and end-customers.
