7 Objectives Alternative source of capital Funding at favorable rates
Global & scalable program Enhanced operational efficiency

8 Alternative source of capital at favorable rates
5-year program, backed with 364-day liquidity facility Primary funding via bank-owned Commercial Paper Conduits Good momentum as conduits are eager to invest in trade receivables: Low-risk asset class Matching maturity with commercial paper (up to 60 days) Reciprocity: syndication with 4 core relationship banks All-in cost of fund 1M Libor ~ 115 bps (mainly depending CP Cost of Fund) No financial covenants, only wind down events 8

9 Global & scalable program
Economies of scale resulting in higher funding capacity: Minimize excess country and obligor concentrations Scalability of the program: Add jurisdictions and currencies Scalability of facility amount: Absorb higher volume (organic growth, higher prices, acquisitions) In recent years, more countries have developed legal and regulatory framework to allow cross border securitization, however increasingly tax is used to narrow budget deficit gaps 9

10 Enhanced operational efficiency
Replacement of three local securitizations and five factoring facilities in North America and Europe Centralized set-up, management and administration by Treasury Data-gathering, reporting and analysis outsourced to well-known service provider (Finacity) Cashless settlement via in-house bank One-off audit opinion for US GAAP off balance sheet treatment 10

11 Notable highlights Structure:
US (5 originators), Canada, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Hungary Multi-currency facility: USD, CAD, EUR, HUF 26 eligible obligor jurisdictions Effective liquidity management by daily re-investment of collections Collections remain on Bunge’s bank accounts Trade receivable portfolio structured on an implied AA-rating Funding base can be affected by sales volumes, commodity prices, FX-volatility and country & obligor ratings Advance rate 85%-88% (aim was 80% or higher) 11

12 Structure & Implementation

15 Key considerations In-depth analysis (receivables portfolio, contracts, A/R & credit management, IT- systems, bank accounts) Communication & commitment: Dedicated project team (very different from RCF, bi-laterals etc.) Reasonable timelines and clear requirements for operating companies Structuring & Syndication: Selection of lead arranger Deal structuring with lead arranger only (use Top Tier law firms) Custom-made (structure to specific company needs / features) Early blue-print of Day-to-Day management: outsourcing, IT-support, data gathering, reporting / analysis, settlements 15
