Bunge Limited Finance 424B2Prospectus for primary offering

The Notes are not secured by any of our assets. Therefore, in the event of our bankruptcy, winding up, liquidation or reorganization, holders of our secured debt will have claims with respect to the assets securing their debt that have priority over your claims as note holders. As of March 31, 2021, we had $27 million of long-term debt and $2 million of current portion of long-term debt that is secured primarily by certain property, plant and equipment having a net carrying value of approximately $59 million. To the extent that the value of the secured assets is insufficient to repay our secured debt, holders of secured debt would be entitled to share in any of our remaining assets equally with you and any other unsecured lenders.

Bunge Limited is a holding company and its only significant assets are its investments in its subsidiaries. As a holding company, Bunge Limited is dependent upon dividends, loans or advances or other intercompany transfers of funds from its subsidiaries to meet its obligations, including its obligations under the guarantee. The ability of certain of its subsidiaries to pay dividends and make other payments to Bunge Limited may be restricted by, among other things, applicable laws, as well as agreements to which those subsidiaries may be party. Therefore, the ability of Bunge Limited to make payments with respect to the guarantee may be limited.

BLFC will use net proceeds of the sale of the Notes to repurchase, redeem or repay outstanding debt or, to the extent not used for such purpose, to increase its investment in the master trust which will, in turn, acquire loans made to us and our operating and finance subsidiaries. See “Description of Master Trust Structure” in the accompanying prospectus. Among other things, the master trust structure is intended to allow creditors of BLFC, including holders of the Notes, to have the benefit of claims on our subsidiaries that are obligated under the intercompany loans which are equal in right of payment to indebtedness owed or payable to third-party creditors of these subsidiaries. To the extent that other creditors or third parties have superior rights of payment with respect to the claims against a particular subsidiary under laws of its jurisdiction or for any other reason, then the claims of the master trust for the benefit of the holders of the Notes may be subject to the rights of such other creditors or third parties against the assets and earnings of that subsidiary.

The Notes constitute a new issue of securities, for which there is no existing market. We cannot provide you with any assurance regarding whether a trading market for the Notes will develop or as to the liquidity or sustainability of any such market, the ability of holders of the Notes to sell their Notes or the price at which holders may be able to sell their Notes. If a market were to develop, then the Notes could trade at prices that may be higher or lower than the initial offering price depending on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, our financial performance, developments in the industries in which we conduct business and changes in the overall market for investment grade securities. The underwriters have advised us that they

will constitute debt securities issued under the Indenture and will be initially limited to an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$1,000,000,000 (subject in either case to the rights of BLFC to create and issue additional Notes as described under “— Further Issuances”);

accrue at a rate of 2.750% per annum;

Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable, and the Notes may be exchanged or transferred, at the office or agency maintained by BLFC for such purpose which initially will be the office

A holder may transfer or exchange Notes in definitive form at the same location given in the preceding paragraph. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but BLFC or Bunge Limited may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. BLFC is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

All amounts of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes paid by BLFC that remain unclaimed two years after such payment was due and payable will be repaid to BLFC and the holders of such Notes will thereafter look solely to BLFC for payment.

At any time prior to February 14, 2031 (three months before maturity), the Notes will be redeemable at the option of BLFC, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, upon not less than 15 and not more than 60 days’ notice mailed to each holder of Notes at the holder’s address appearing in the note register, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and

the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (at the rate in effect on the date of calculation of the redemption price) on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if such Notes matured on February 14, 2031 (three months before maturity of the Notes) (exclusive of interest accrued but unpaid to the date of redemption) discounted to their present value as of such redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months) at the applicable Treasury Yield (as defined below), as determined by the Reference Treasury Dealers, plus 20 basis points;

On or after February 14, 2031 (three months before maturity), the Notes will be redeemable at the option of BLFC, in whole or in part from time to time, on at least 15 days’ but not more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed to the registered address of each holder of Notes to be so redeemed, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed on the redemption date plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed to the date of redemption.

Notes called for redemption will become due on the date fixed for redemption, but such redemption may be subject to one or more conditions precedent. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 15 but not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption to each noteholder at its registered address. The notice will state any conditions applicable to a redemption and the amount of Notes to be redeemed. On and after the date fixed for redemption, interest will cease to accrue on any redeemed Notes. If less than all the Notes are redeemed at any time, the trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis or by any other method the trustee deems fair and appropriate in accordance with the depository’s procedures.

In the event that a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless BLFC has irrevocably exercised its right to redeem the Notes without such redemption being subject to any conditions precedent as described in “— Optional Redemption by BLFC,” holders will have the right, at such holder’s option, subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, to require BLFC to purchase for cash any or all of such holder’s Notes in integral multiples of $1,000 original principal amount. BLFC will make an offer to purchase all the

Within 60 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, BLFC will send notice of such Change of Control Offer by first-class mail, with a copy to the trustee, to each holder of Notes to the address of such holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) with a copy to the trustee, with the following information:

BLFC’s ability to pay cash to the holders of Notes following the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event may be limited by Bunge Limited’s then-existing financial resources. Therefore, sufficient funds may not be available when necessary to make any required repurchases. The Change of Control purchase feature of the Notes may in certain circumstances make more difficult or discourage a sale or takeover of Bunge Limited. Bunge Limited has no present intention to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that it could decide to do so in the future. Subject to the limitations discussed below, Bunge Limited could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control under the Indenture, but that could affect its capital structure or credit ratings.

BLFC will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by BLFC and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of the making of the Change of Control Offer.

The definition of “Change of Control” includes a disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Bunge Limited to any person. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “all or substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve a disposition of “all or substantially all” of the assets of Bunge Limited. As a result, it may be unclear whether a Change of Control has occurred and whether a holder of Notes may require BLFC to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as described above. The provisions under the Indenture relating to BLFC’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event may be waived or modified with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes.

BLFC may from time to time, without the consent of existing noteholders, create and issue additional Notes having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects, except for issue date, issue price and first payment of interest of such Notes. Additional Notes issued in this manner will be consolidated with and will form a single series with the previously outstanding Notes; provided that if the additional Notes are not fungible with the previously outstanding Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number, Common Code, ISIN number and/or any other identifying number.

Bunge Limited will fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to each holder and the trustee the full and prompt payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, when and as the same become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, including any additional amounts required to be paid in connection with certain taxes. Any obligation of Bunge Limited to make a payment may be satisfied by causing BLFC to make such payment.

The Notes will be unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of BLFC and will rank equally in right of payment with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of BLFC.

The Notes Guarantee will be an unsecured and unsubordinated obligation of Bunge Limited and will rank equally in right of payment with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness

and obligations of Bunge Limited. The Guarantee will effectively rank junior in right of payment to any secured indebtedness of Bunge Limited to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness and to all indebtedness and other liabilities of its subsidiaries.

In summary, and for the avoidance of doubt, BLFC is prohibited from creating, assuming, incurring or suffering to exist any Lien, except for Company Permitted Liens, upon any Property whatsoever. Otherwise, only Bunge Limited and Restricted Subsidiaries are subject to any restrictions on Liens and sale-leaseback transactions.

The Indenture will provide that Bunge Limited may consolidate with or merge or amalgamate with or into, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to, another person only if:

If Bunge Limited engages in one of the transactions described above and complies with the conditions listed above, the successor will be substituted for Bunge Limited for the purposes of the Indenture with the same effect as if it and not Bunge Limited had been an original party to the Indenture. Thereafter, the successor may exercise the rights and powers of Bunge Limited under the Indenture. However, in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets, Bunge Limited will not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes (including additional amounts).

In the event that Bunge Limited consolidates with or merges or amalgamates with or into, or sells, leases or conveys all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and the successor is a person organized under the laws of a full member state of the European Union, Canada, Australia, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, Bunge Limited and the successor or continuing company will, as a condition to such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or sale, lease or conveyance of assets, comply with the following additional requirements:

enter into a supplemental indenture with the trustee providing for full, unconditional and irrevocable indemnification of the holders of the Notes and the trustee against any tax or duty of whatever nature (other than any tax imposed by reason of the holder having a connection to any such jurisdiction other than as a holder of a Note) which is incurred or otherwise suffered by the trustee or such holders with respect to the Notes and which would not have been incurred or otherwise suffered in the absence of such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or sale, lease or conveyance of assets; and

deliver to the trustee legal opinions of independent legal counsel of recognized standing in New York and the applicable member state of the European Union, Canada, Australia, Switzerland or the United Kingdom under whose laws the successor or continuing company is organized, to the effect that the obligations of the successor with respect to the Indenture or the Guarantee, as applicable, are legal, valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms.

In addition, the Indenture will provide that Bunge Limited will not permit any Subsidiary to consolidate with or merge or amalgamate with or into, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to, any person unless:

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, BLFC may not be party to, or the subject of, any consolidation, merger, amalgamation or sale of assets.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, if an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders unless such holders have offered to the trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless:

such holder has previously given the trustee written notice that an event of default under the Indenture is continuing;

holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested in writing that the trustee pursue the remedy;

such holders have offered the trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;

the trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee. The trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the interest of any other holder or that would involve the trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the trustee will be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

The Indenture provides that if a default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a trust officer of the trustee, the trustee must send to each holder notice of the default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the trustee may withhold notice if the trustee determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the holders. In addition, BLFC is required to deliver to the trustee, within 10 days after becoming aware of the occurrence of any default, notice of such default, and in any event within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any default that occurred during the previous year

Modifications and amendments of the Indenture may be made by BLFC, Bunge Limited and the trustee with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding under the Indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes). However, without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note affected, no amendment may, among other things:

reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Notes, whose holders must consent to an amendment of the Indenture or the Notes, or certain specified provisions of the documents relating to BLFC’s rights or benefits under the master trust;

BLFC may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding a prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. If BLFC exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an event of default with respect thereto. If BLFC exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an event of default specified in clause (3) (to the extent that the covenants referred to therein have been terminated as a result of the defeasance), (4) or (5) under “— Events of Default” above.

In order to exercise either defeasance option, BLFC must irrevocably deposit in trust with the trustee money or U.S. government obligations for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be, and must comply with certain other conditions, including delivery to the trustee of an opinion of counsel to the effect that beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred. In the case of legal defeasance only, such opinion of counsel must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or other change in applicable federal income tax law. If the legal defeasance option is exercised and complies with all necessary conditions, noteholders would have to rely solely on the trust deposit for the payment of the Notes and could not look to BLFC or Bunge Limited for payment in the event of any shortfall.

U.S. Bank National Association is the trustee under the Indenture and has been appointed by BLFC as Registrar and Paying Agent with regard to the Notes. An affiliate of the trustee is a lender under certain of Bunge’s credit facilities.

By its acquisition of a Note, each noteholder agrees that neither it nor the trustee on its behalf may commence, or join with any other person in the commencement of, a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding with respect to BLFC under any applicable insolvency laws until one year and one day after all of the Notes and all other Indebtedness of BLFC ranking equal with or junior to the Notes in right of payment are paid in full, including all interest and premium thereon.

purchase with the amount such noteholder receives or recovers. If the amount of U.S. dollars purchased by such noteholder is less than the amount expressed to be due to such noteholder, Bunge Limited will indemnify the noteholder against any loss sustained as a result. In any event, Bunge Limited will indemnify the noteholder against the cost of any such purchase.

For purposes of this definition, (A) the phrases “accounts receivable from or invoices to export customers” and “contracts to sell, purchase or receive commodities to (from) export customers” refer to invoices or accounts receivable derived from the sale of, or contracts to sell, purchase or receive, wheat,

“Property” means any property, whether presently owned or hereafter acquired, including any asset, revenue, or right to receive income or any other property, whether tangible or intangible, real or personal.

“Rating Agencies” means (1) Moody’s, S&P and Fitch; and (2) if any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available, a nationally recognized statistical rating agency or agencies, as the case may be, selected by Bunge Limited which shall be substituted for any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, or all of them, as the case may be.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and two other primary U.S. government securities dealers in New York City selected by the Independent Investment Banker (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”); provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, BLFC will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any date fixed for the redemption of Notes, an average, as determined by the trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for the Notes (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such date.

“Restricted Property” means any building, mine, structure or other facility (together with the land on which it is erected and fixtures comprising a part thereof) and inventories now owned or hereafter acquired by Bunge Limited or any Subsidiary and used for oilseed or grain origination, processing, transportation or storage, mining or fertilizer refining or storage.

“Subsidiary” means any corporation, limited liability company or other business entity of which the requisite number of shares of stock or other equity ownership interests having ordinary voting power (without regard to the occurrence of any contingency) to elect a majority of the directors, managers or trustees thereof, or any partnership of which more than 50% of the partners’ equity interests (considering all partners’ equity interests as a single class) is, in each case, at the time owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by Bunge Limited, one or more of the Subsidiaries of Bunge Limited, or a combination thereof.

“Treasury Yield” means, with respect to any date fixed for the redemption of Notes, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third business day immediately preceding such date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for such date.

“U.S. GAAP” means generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, as in effect on the date the Notes Indenture is entered into.

We will issue the Notes in the form of one or more permanent global securities. The global securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary and issued to and registered in the name of the

Depositary or its nominee. Except as set forth below, the global securities may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary. Investors may hold their beneficial interests in the global securities directly through the Depositary if they have an account with the Depositary or indirectly through organizations which have accounts with the Depositary.

We expect, and the remainder of this discussion assumes, that the Notes will not be issued with original issue discount (other than less than a specified de minimis amount of original issue discount) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Subject to the discussion below, stated interest payable on a Note generally will be taxable to a United States Holder as ordinary income at the time the interest is accrued or received, in accordance with the United States Holder’s regular method of tax accounting.

We intend to take the position for U.S. federal income tax purposes that any payments of additional amounts resulting from Bermuda withholding taxes imposed with respect to the Notes (see “Description of the Notes — Additional Amounts”) will be taxable to a United States Holder as additional interest income when received or accrued, in accordance with such United States Holder’s method of tax accounting and the possibility of such additional amounts will not cause the Notes to be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Furthermore, we intend to take the position that the possibility that amounts may be paid in excess of the stated principal amount of the Notes (see “Description of the Notes — Optional Redemption by BLFC” and “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders”) will not cause the Notes to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may take a contrary position to this position and may treat the Notes as contingent payment debt instruments under the applicable Treasury regulations, which could affect the timing and character of income, gain or loss from holding or disposing of the Notes. Our position is not binding on the IRS. If the IRS were to successfully assert a contrary position, a United States Holder could be required to accrue income on its Notes in excess of stated interest, and to treat as ordinary income rather than capital gain any income realized on the taxable disposition of a Note. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Notes are not treated as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. United States Holders should consult their independent tax advisors concerning this position.

In general, upon the sale or other taxable disposition of a Note, a United States Holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale or other taxable disposition (not including any amount attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which will be treated as a payment of interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and therefore will be taxable as ordinary income to the extent not previously included in gross income) and such United States Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Note. A United States Holder’s adjusted tax basis in a Note generally will equal the cost of the Note to it. Such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss and generally will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the United States Holder held the Note for more than one year at the time of disposition. Certain non-corporate United States Holders (including individuals) are eligible for preferential rates of U.S. federal income taxation in respect of long-term capital gains. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations under the Code.

United States Holders that are individuals, estates and certain trusts generally will be subject to an additional 3.8% Medicare contribution tax on their “net investment income” ​(which includes interest income and capital gain on the sale or other taxable disposition of the Notes). United States Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible effect of this legislation on their ownership and disposition of the Notes.

Subject to the discussions below concerning backup withholding and FATCA, payments of stated interest on a Note to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% (or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate) unless such interest is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s

the Non-U.S. Holder does not own, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;

For purposes of Code Sections 871(h) and 881(c) and the Treasury regulations promulgated under these provisions, in order to obtain the exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on payments of stated interest described above, either (1) the Non-U.S. Holder must provide its name and address, and certify, under penalties of perjury that such Non-U.S. Holder is not a United States person or (2) the Non-U.S. Holder must hold its Notes through certain intermediaries and both the Non-U.S. Holder and the relevant intermediary must satisfy the certification requirements of the applicable Treasury regulations. Under Treasury regulations, the foregoing certification generally may be provided by a Non-U.S. Holder on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8.

If interest on a Note (i) is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by the Non-U.S. Holder, and (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder entitled to claim treaty benefits, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained within the United States by the Non-U.S. Holder, then such interest income generally will be exempt from the withholding described above (provided the Non-U.S. Holder provides a properly completed W-8ECI), but will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net-income basis at the regular graduated tax rates applicable to United States Holders. In certain circumstances, a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” in respect of effectively connected interest income (currently at a 30% rate or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate).

Subject to the discussion below concerning backup withholding, a Non-U.S. Holder of a Note generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of a Note, unless:

In the case of a Non-U.S. Holder of Notes described in the first bullet point above, any gain realized upon a sale or other taxable disposition of the Notes held by such Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a statutory rate of 30% (or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate) which gain may be offset by certain losses. In the case of a Non-U.S. Holder of Notes described in the second bullet point above, any gain realized upon a sale or other taxable disposition of the Notes held by such Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net-income basis at the regular graduated tax rates applicable to United States Holders. In addition, a Non-U.S. Holder of Notes described in the second bullet point above that is a corporation also may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate).

Under current U.S. federal income tax law, backup withholding at specified rates (currently 24%) and information reporting requirements apply to certain payments of principal and interest made to, and to the

proceeds of sale before maturity by, certain owners of Notes. In the case of a United States Holder that is not an exempt recipient, information reporting requirements generally will apply to payments of principal or interest on a Note. Backup withholding will apply to such a United States Holder if:

ERISA and the Code impose certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of a Plan and prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of a Plan and its fiduciaries or other interested parties. Under ERISA and the Code, any person who exercises any discretionary authority or control over the administration of such a Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of such a Plan, or who renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation to such a Plan, is generally considered to be a fiduciary of the Plan.

In considering an investment of a portion of the assets of any Plan or Other Plan Investor in the Notes, a fiduciary should determine whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the Plan or Other Plan Investor and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Law relating to a fiduciary’s duties to the Plan or Other Plan Investor including, without limitation, the prudence, diversification, delegation of control and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Similar Laws.

Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit Plans from engaging in specified transactions involving plan assets with persons or entities who are “parties in interest,” within the meaning of ERISA, or “disqualified persons,” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, unless an exemption is available. A party in interest or disqualified person who engages in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the Plan that engages in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. Other Plan Investors, while not subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, may nevertheless be subject to similar restrictions under applicable Similar Law. The acquisition and/or holding of Notes by a Plan with respect to which an issuer, an initial purchaser or a guarantor is considered a party in interest or a disqualified person may constitute or result in a direct or indirect prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the investment is acquired and is held in accordance with an applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption.

In this regard, the U.S. Department of Labor has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions (“PTCEs”) that may provide exemptive relief for direct or indirect prohibited transactions resulting from the sale, purchase or holding of the Notes. These class exemptions include, without limitation, PTCE 84-14 respecting transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers, PTCE 90-1 respecting insurance company pooled separate accounts, PTCE 91-38 respecting bank collective investment funds, PTCE 95-60 respecting life insurance company general accounts, and PTCE 96-23 respecting transactions determined by in-house asset managers. In addition, Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code provide an exemption from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, respectively, for the purchase and sale of securities, provided that neither the issuer of the securities nor any of its affiliates (directly or indirectly) has or exercises any discretionary

defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “U.K. Prospectus Regulation”); or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “U.K. PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the U.K. has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the U.K. may be unlawful under the U.K. PRIIPs Regulation. This prospectus supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of the Notes in the UK will be made pursuant to an exemption under the UK Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of the Notes. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are not a prospectuses for the purposes of the U.K. Prospectus Regulation.

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that Bunge Limited, Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and Bunge Finance Europe B.V. have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, referred to as the Commission or the SEC in this prospectus, using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, Bunge Limited may, from time to time, sell common shares and/or preference shares described in the prospectus, in one or more offerings and Bunge Limited Finance Corp. or Bunge Finance Europe B.V. may, from time to time, separately or jointly, sell debt securities guaranteed by Bunge Limited as described in the prospectus, in one or more offerings. The common shares and preference shares of Bunge Limited and the debt securities of Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and Bunge Finance Europe B.V. are collectively referred to as “offered securities” and each of Bunge Limited, Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and Bunge Finance Europe B.V. is referred to as a “Registrant,” and collectively as “Registrants,” in this prospectus. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the offered securities the Registrants may offer. Each time a Registrant sells offered securities, it may provide a prospectus supplement, or more than one prospectus supplement, that will contain specific information about the terms of the offered securities. Each prospectus supplement may also add to, update or change the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. To the extent that any statement a Registrant makes in a prospectus supplement is inconsistent with statements made in this prospectus, the statements made in this prospectus will be deemed modified or superseded by those made in the prospectus supplement. You should read both this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement or other offering material together with the information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

We are subject to the informational reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and accordingly we file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, proxy and information statements and other information with the SEC.

Neither Bunge Limited Finance Corp. nor Bunge Finance Europe B.V. is required under the Exchange Act to file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. Accordingly, Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and Bunge Finance Europe B.V. do not, and will not, file separate financial statements with the SEC. The financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and Bunge Finance Europe B.V. are consolidated into our financial statements.

We are incorporating by reference into this prospectus certain documents we file with the SEC, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. Any information incorporated by reference is considered part of this prospectus, and later information that we file with the SEC will automatically update and supersede this information. We are incorporating by reference the documents listed below and any future filings we make with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other than any documents or portions thereof that are considered to be furnished rather than filed under SEC rules, until the termination of the offering of the securities. The documents incorporated herein by reference are:

The prospectus supplement and other offering material relating to a particular series of preference shares will contain a description of the specific terms of that series as fixed by our board of directors, including, as applicable:

Following redemption, dividends, if applicable, will cease to accrue after the redemption date on preference shares redeemed and all rights of holders of these shares will terminate except for the right to receive the redemption price.

shareholders holding not less than 10% of the paid-up capital of the company carrying the right to vote at general meetings of the company. Our bye-laws provide that either the chairman or our board of directors may convene an annual general meeting or a special general meeting. Bermuda law also requires that shareholders be given at least five days’ advance notice of a general meeting; however, our bye-laws provide that the accidental omission to give notice to any person does not invalidate the proceedings at a meeting. Under our bye-laws, at least twenty-one days’ notice of an annual general meeting or a special general meeting must be given to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting. This notice requirement is subject to the ability to hold such meetings on shorter notice if such notice is agreed: (i) in the case of an annual general meeting, by all of the shareholders entitled to attend and vote at such meeting; or (ii) in the case of a special general meeting, by a majority in number of the shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the meeting holding not less than 95% in nominal value of the shares entitled to attend and vote at such meeting. The quorum required for a general meeting of shareholders is two or more persons present in person at the start of the meeting and representing in person or by proxy in excess of 50% of the paid-up share capital carrying the right to vote.

The trustee under the master trust is required to allocate collections on the intercompany loans to the trust certificates, including the series 2002-1 variable funding certificate and the series 2003-1 variable funding certificate, on an equal basis based upon the principal and accrued interest outstanding with respect to all trust certificates. The master trust may from time to time issue additional series of trust certificates which rank equal in right of payment with the outstanding trust certificates.

The maximum face amount of the series 2002-1 variable funding certificate held by Bunge Limited Finance Corp. is $9,000,000,000, as such amount may be increased from time to time pursuant to the terms thereof. The outstanding amount of the series 2002-1 variable funding certificate varies based on the outstanding amount of indebtedness of Bunge Limited Finance Corp. Under the master trust structure documentation, all of the proceeds borrowed under Bunge Limited Finance Corp.’s current facilities were used to fund intercompany loans which are acquired by the master trust (except to the extent such proceeds were used to repay outstanding indebtedness of Bunge Limited Finance Corp. or used to pay expenses incurred in connection with any such indebtedness). In the case of the notes, Bunge Limited Finance Corp. will be required to use all of the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to either increase its investment in the series 2002-1 variable funding certificate, repay its outstanding indebtedness or pay expenses incurred in connection with any such indebtedness, and the master trust will use such proceeds advanced under the series 2002-1 variable funding certificate to acquire intercompany loans. The principal and interest outstanding on the series 2002-1 variable funding certificate together with cash held by Bunge Limited Finance Corp. must at all times equal or exceed the aggregate principal and interest outstanding on all of Bunge Limited Finance Corp.’s debt, including, without limitation, the notes. Accordingly, the holders of the notes will benefit to the extent that payments of principal and interest are made by the borrowers on the intercompany loans held by the master trust. The master trust is intended to allow creditors of Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and other holders of master trust certificates to have the benefit of claims on Bunge Limited’s subsidiaries obligated under intercompany loans. However, intercompany loans made under the master trust structure directly to Bunge Limited do not create any claims against its subsidiaries for the benefit of the holders of the notes. Although the series 2002-1 variable funding certificate is not pledged to the holders of the notes, the series 2002-1 variable funding certificate and related hedging agreements are the only assets held by Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and may not be pledged by Bunge Limited Finance Corp. to any of its creditors or any other person. Under the design of the master trust structure, the notes have the benefit of the series 2002-1 variable funding certificate and the holders of the notes thus have the benefit of access on an equal basis with other creditors holding indebtedness owed or payable by Bunge Limited Finance Corp. to the payments made on the series 2002-1 variable funding certificate.

The maximum face amount of the series 2003-1 variable funding certificate held by Bunge Finance Europe B.V. is $3,500,000,000, as such amount may be increased from time to time pursuant to the terms thereof. The outstanding amount of the series 2003-1 variable funding certificate varies based on the outstanding amount of indebtedness of Bunge Finance Europe B.V. Under the master trust structure documentation, all of the proceeds borrowed under Bunge Finance Europe B.V.’s current facilities were used to fund intercompany loans which are acquired by the master trust (except to the extent such proceeds were used to repay outstanding indebtedness of Bunge Finance Europe B.V. or used to pay expenses incurred in connection with any such indebtedness). In the case of the notes, Bunge Finance Europe B.V. will be required to use all of the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to either increase its investment in the series 2003-1 variable funding certificate, repay its outstanding indebtedness or pay expenses incurred in connection with any such indebtedness, and the master trust will use such proceeds advanced under the series 2003-1 variable funding certificate to acquire intercompany loans. The principal and interest outstanding on the series 2003-1 variable funding certificate, together with cash held by Bunge Finance Europe B.V., must at all times equal or exceed the aggregate principal and interest outstanding on all of Bunge Finance Europe B.V.’s debt, including, without limitation, the notes. Accordingly, the holders of the notes will benefit to the extent that payments of principal and interest are made by the borrowers on the intercompany loans held by the master trust. The master trust is intended to allow creditors of Bunge Finance Europe B.V. and other holders of master trust certificates to have the benefit of claims on Bunge Limited’s subsidiaries obligated under intercompany loans. However, intercompany loans made under the master trust structure directly to Bunge Limited do not create any claims against its subsidiaries for the benefit of the holders of the notes. Although the series 2003-1 variable funding certificate is not pledged to the holders of the notes, the series 2003-1 variable funding certificate and related hedging agreements are the only assets held by Bunge Finance Europe B.V. and may not be pledged by Bunge Finance Europe B.V. to any of its creditors or any other person. Under the design of the master trust structure, the notes have the benefit of the series 2003-1 variable funding certificate and the holders of the notes thus have the benefit of access on an equal basis with other creditors holding indebtedness owed or payable by Bunge Finance Europe B.V. to the payments made on the series 2003-1 variable funding certificate.

Bunge Finance Europe B.V. has been organized and structured to be a bankruptcy remote entity. As part of the bankruptcy remote structure of Bunge Finance Europe B.V., the articles of association of Bunge Finance Europe B.V. require the vote of at least two managing directors who are individuals that are “independent” ​(within the meaning of the articles of association of Bunge Finance Europe B.V.) of Bunge Limited and its affiliates (except that such independent managing directors of Bunge Finance Europe B.V. may also be the independent directors of Bunge Asset Funding Corp., Bunge Funding, Inc., Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and any other financing subsidiary established to advance funds to the master trust) in order to, among other things, (1) file a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under the U.S. bankruptcy code or (2) change the voting requirement with respect to the filing of such a voluntary petition for bankruptcy. Each of Bunge Finance Europe B.V.’s creditors has made “non-petition” agreements agreeing not to institute, or join any other person in instituting, against Bunge Finance Europe B.V., any bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction for a period of one year and one day after all outstanding debt of Bunge Finance Europe B.V. has been paid in full.

If Bunge Finance Europe B.V. were to become subject, for any reason, to any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding under the U.S. bankruptcy code or under Dutch bankruptcy laws, the proceeds of payments to the master trust on the intercompany loans would be subject to such bankruptcy proceedings. In such event, the holders of the notes would experience delays in recovering principal and interest on their notes from the proceeds of such intercompany loans. The holders of the notes would, however, be able to make a claim on Bunge Limited’s guarantee in such circumstances unless the guarantee is unavailable for any reason (whether due to our bankruptcy or otherwise).

Credit facilities and debt issuances that use the master trust structure as of December 31, 2018 include the following:

BLFC and BFE may issue the debt securities as “original issue discount securities,” which are debt securities, including any zero-coupon debt securities, that are issued and sold at a discount from their stated principal amount. Original issue discount securities provide that, upon acceleration of their maturity, an amount less than their principal amount will become due and payable. The prospectus supplement relating to an issuance of any such debt securities will describe the U.S. federal income tax consequences and other considerations applicable to original issue discount securities in any prospectus supplement relating to them.

Bunge Limited will fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and interest on, the debt securities and any of the other obligations of BLFC or BFE, as the case may be, under the applicable indenture with respect to the debt securities when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity or otherwise.

Bunge Limited’s guarantees for senior debt securities of BLFC and BFE would be unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Bunge Limited and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Bunge Limited. The guarantee is expected to provide that in the event of a default in payment of principal of, or interest on, senior debt securities of a particular series, the holder of such series of senior debt securities may institute legal proceedings directly against Bunge Limited to enforce the applicable guarantee without first proceeding against BLFC or BFE, as the case may be.

If BLFC or BFE, as the case may be, issues subordinated debt securities, Bunge Limited’s guarantees for subordinated debt securities of BLFC or BFE would be unsecured and subordinated obligations of Bunge Limited and will rank equally with all other unsecured and subordinated obligations of Bunge Limited. The guarantee is expected to provide that in the event of a default in payment of principal of, or interest on, subordinated debt securities of a particular series, the holder of such series of subordinated debt securities may institute legal proceedings directly against Bunge Limited to enforce the applicable guarantee without first proceeding against BLFC or BFE, as the case may be.

A prospectus supplement and other offering material related to an issuance of debt securities by BLFC or BFE, as the case may be, will set forth covenants that will impose limitations and restrictions on BLFC or BFE, and will also set forth covenants which will be applicable to Bunge Limited and certain of its subsidiaries and provisions relating to events of default, amendments, waivers and defeasance.

The notes, the guarantee and the indenture will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

Bunge Limited will irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state court or any U.S. federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in respect of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in relation to the indenture, the notes or the guarantee, and will agree that all claims in respect of such legal action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or U.S. federal court and will waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding in any such court.

Debt securities of BLFC and BFE will be governed by a document called the “indenture.” The trustee for each issuance of debt securities will be identified in the prospectus supplement relating to the issuance of debt securities. The trustee may resign or be removed with respect to one or more series of debt securities and a successor trustee may be appointed to act with respect to these series.

Under the indenture, BLFC and BFE will recognize as a holder only the person in whose name a debt security is registered. Consequently, for debt securities issued in global form, BLFC and BFE will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the debt securities and BLFC and BFE will make all payments on the debt securities to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners.

The depositary and its participants do so under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the debt securities.

As a result, purchasers of notes will not own the debt securities directly. Instead, such purchasers will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the depositary’s book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant. As long as the debt securities are issued in global form, purchasers of notes will be an indirect holder, and not a direct or legal holder, of the debt securities.

For debt securities held in street name, BLFC and BFE will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions in whose names the debt securities are registered as the holders of those debt securities, and will make all payments on those debt securities to them. These institutions pass along the payments they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. If you hold debt securities in street name, you will be an indirect holder, and not a direct or legal holder, of those debt securities.

For example, once BLFC or BFE, as the case may be, makes a payment or gives a notice to the holder, it has no further responsibility for the payment or notice even if that holder is required, under agreements with depositary participants or customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect holders but does not do so. Similarly, if BLFC or BFE wants to obtain the approval of the holders for any purpose (for example, to amend the indenture or to relieve BLFC or BFE of the consequences of a default or of our obligation to comply with a particular provision of the indenture) it would seek the approval only from the holders, and not the indirect holders, of the debt securities. Whether and how the holders contact the indirect holders is determined by the holders.

When BLFC or BFE refers to you, BLFC or BFE means those who invest in the debt securities being offered by this prospectus, whether they are the direct or legal holders or only indirect holders of those debt securities. When BLFC or BFE refers to your debt securities, it means the debt securities in which you hold a direct or indirect interest.

BLFC and BFE will each issue each debt security under the indenture in global form, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. A global security is a security, typically held by a depositary, that represents the beneficial interests of a number of purchasers of the security. If global securities are issued, the following procedures will apply.

BLFC and BFE will deposit global securities with the depositary identified in the prospectus supplement. After BLFC and BFE issues a global security, the depositary will credit on its book-entry registration and transfer system the respective principal amounts of the debt securities represented by the global security to the accounts of persons who have accounts with the depositary. These account holders are known as “participants.” The underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the debt securities will designate the accounts to be credited. Only a participant or a person who holds an interest through a participant may be the beneficial owner of a global security. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary and its participants.

BLFC, BFE and the trustee will treat the depositary or its nominee as the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by a global security. Except as set forth below, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have the debt securities represented by the global security registered in their names. They also will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the debt securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the debt securities.

Principal, any premium and any interest payments on debt securities represented by a global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee as the registered owner of the global security. None of BLFC, BFE, the trustee or any paying agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the global security or the maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests.

BLFC and BFE expect that the depositary, upon receipt of any payments, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global security as shown on the depositary’s records. BLFC and BFE also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global security will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers registered in “street names,” and will be the responsibility of the participants.

A global security is exchangeable for definitive securities registered in the name of, and a transfer of a global security may be registered to, any person other than the depositary or its nominee, only if:

the depositary notifies BLFC or BFE, as the case may be, that it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue as depositary for that global security and BLFC or BFE, as the case may be, does not appoint another institution to act as depositary within 90 days;

if an event of default has occurred and is continuing with regard to debt securities represented by that global security and the registrar has received a request from the depositary.

only in fully registered form; and

without interest coupons.

Holders may exchange their non-global debt securities for debt securities of smaller denominations or combined into fewer debt securities of larger denominations, as long as the total principal amount is not changed. This is called an “exchange.”

Holders may exchange or transfer their certificated debt securities at the office of the trustee. BLFC and BFE will initially appoint the trustee to act as its agent for registering debt securities in the names of holders and transferring debt securities. BLFC or BFE may appoint another entity to perform these functions or perform them on its own. The entity performing the role of maintaining the list of registered holders is called the registrar. It will also perform transfers.

Holders will not be required to pay a service charge to transfer or exchange their debt securities, but they may be required to pay for any tax or other governmental charge associated with the exchange or transfer. The transfer or exchange will be made only if the trustee, as registrar, is satisfied with the holder’s proof of legal ownership.

If BLFC or BFE has designated additional registrars for your debt security, they will be named in the prospectus supplement to which your debt security relates. BLFC and BFE may appoint additional registrars or cancel the appointment of any particular registrar.

If any debt securities are redeemable or may be repurchased and BLFC or BFE, as the case may be, redeems or repurchases less than all those debt securities, BLFC or BFE, as the case may be, may prohibit the transfer or exchange of those debt securities during the period beginning 15 days before the day BLFC or BFE, as applicable, mails the notice of redemption or repurchase and ending on the day of that mailing, in order to freeze the list of holders to prepare the mailing. BLFC and BFE may also refuse to register transfers or exchanges of any debt security selected for redemption, except that BLFC and BFE will continue to permit transfers and exchanges of the unredeemed portion of any debt security being partially redeemed.

If a debt security is issued as a global debt security, only the depositary will be entitled to transfer and exchange the debt security as described in this subsection because it will be the sole holder of the debt security.

BLFC and BFE will only be required to make payment of the principal on a debt security if you surrender the debt security to the paying agent for that debt security. BLFC and BFE will only be required to make payment of principal and interest at the office of the paying agent, except that at their option, they may pay interest by mailing a check to the holder. Payment for any debt security represented by global notes will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the depositary. Unless BLFC or BFE indicates otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, BLFC or BFE, as the case may be, will pay interest (other than defaulted interest) to the person who is the holder at the close of business on the regular record date for that interest payment, even if that person no longer owns the debt security on the interest payment date.

BLFC or BFE, as the case may be, will specify in the applicable prospectus supplement the regular record date relating to an interest payment date for any debt security.
