Bunge completes $7.3 billion Viterra merger, adds co-COO and four directors
Bunge Global SA completed its acquisition of Viterra Limited on July 2, 2025, issuing about 65.6 million registered shares valued at approximately $5.3 billion plus about $2.0 billion in cash to the sellers. Sellers other than the Viterra EBT now own approximately 33% of Bunge's registered shares, and the filing says the deal was financed with cash on hand and existing debt instruments.
