As a result of the tender offer, Bunge now owns 98.3% of Bunge Brasil, which will be automatically delisted from the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange. Bunge is to pay around US$277m for the shares.
Because it now owns more than 95% of the total capital of Bunge Brasil, Bunge, in accordance with Brazilian law, has the right to conduct a squeeze-out of the remaining minority shareholders of Bunge Brasil.
