EXPLANATORY NOTE

Deregistration of Securities

This Post-Effective Amendment (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement (No. 333-264512) (the “Registration Statement”), pertaining to the “shelf” registration of an indeterminate number of common shares and preference shares (collectively, the “Equity Securities”) of Bunge Limited (“Bunge Limited”), debt securities (the “Debt Securities”) of each of Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and Bunge Finance Europe B.V., and guarantees of Bunge Limited (collectively, together with the Equity Securities and Debt Securities, the “Securities”) which has been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), to deregister any and all Securities registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.

On October 31, 2023, Bunge Limited 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 Bunge Limited 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 Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement have been terminated. This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and remove from registration all Securities previously registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the effective time of the Redomestication. In accordance with undertakings made by the registrants in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the Securities registered under the Registration Statement 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.
