Over the last few months, Adecoagro announced major strategic and capital actions. On Sep 8, 2025 and Dec 1, 2025 it agreed and then submitted a binding offer to acquire Profertil stakes for roughly US$600 million, targeting up to 90% ownership. It filed a $500 million Form F‑3 shelf on Dec 1, 2025. Earlier, 3Q25 results showed Adjusted EBITDA of $115.1 million and an all‑time crushing record, while an annual cash dividend of $35 million was declared. Today’s common-share offering fits into this financing arc for the Profertil expansion.
