Our team was led by Aixa Sureda and Evangelina Gonzalez Soldo, with the collaboration of associates María José Fernández Ruiz and Sofía Rojas Pellerano.

As part of this transaction, Viterra’s shareholders received approximately 65.6 million Bunge shares with an aggregate value of approximately USD 6.2 billion, as well as approximately USD 2 billion in cash. Additionally, as part of the agreement, Bunge assumed USD 9.8 billion of Viterra’s debt.
