Bunge Global (NYSE: BG) issues 2031 notes for debt and buybacks
Bunge Global SA (BG), through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary Bunge Limited Finance Corp. (BLFC), is issuing new unsecured, unsubordinated senior notes due 2031, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Bunge. The notes pay semi-annual interest and may be redeemed early at BLFC’s option, including a make-whole call before a defined par call date and par redemption thereafter.
The guarantee from Bunge ranks equally with its other unsecured and unsubordinated debt, but is structurally subordinated to liabilities of most subsidiaries and effectively junior to secured borrowings. Holders gain a right to require BLFC to repurchase the notes at 101% plus accrued interest upon a “Change of Control Triggering Event.” Covenants limit secured liens and sale-leaseback transactions at Bunge and certain subsidiaries, and prohibit BLFC from incurring senior-ranking debt or granting liens other than narrowly defined permitted liens.
Bunge plans to use net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include refinancing short-term debt, working capital, capital expenditures, stock repurchases and investments in subsidiaries, with usage in Switzerland constrained by local tax guidance. Recent financial data show net sales of $45,902 million and net income attributable to Bunge shareholders of $746 million for the six months ended June 30 2026, total assets of $46,782 million, total debt of $15,214 million, and total equity of $17,342 million, reflecting the integration of the 2025 business combination with Viterra.

Filing Explained
This preliminary filing describes, but does not complete, a debt offering; its blank principal amount and proceeds leave the new borrowing unquantified.
The
The structural consequence is therefore not completed borrowing: the filing describes intended debt capacity and terms, but does not establish that the notes have been sold, that Bunge has incurred the new obligation, or how much cash would be raised.
