Item 8.01 - Other Events
On  i March 18, 2022, Bunge Limited (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that, as a result of the Company’s strong share price performance in recent months, all issued and outstanding shares of its 4.875% Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preference Shares (the “Preferred Shares”), will automatically convert into common shares of the Company, par value US$0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), effective March 23, 2022 (the "Conversion Date").

On March 18, 2022, the closing price of the Common Shares on the NYSE was $104.91, marking the 20th trading day in the previous 30 trading days that the closing price of the Common Shares exceeded the current conversion price, triggering the Company’s right, at its option, to mandatorily convert the Preferred Shares under the Certificate of Designation for the Preferred Shares (filed as Exhibit 4.3 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed November 20, 2006). The conversion price adjusted from $78.1322 to $77.8482 on February 16, 2022.

Each Preferred Share will automatically convert into 1.2846 Common Shares on the Conversion Date (the “Conversion”). The Common Shares are expected to be delivered to former holders of Preferred Shares on March 23, 2022. Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional Common Shares.

There are approximately 6,898,268 Preferred Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Conversion, which will result in the issuance of approximately 8,861,515 new Common Shares. Currently, there are approximately 142,731,878 Common Shares issued and outstanding.

As a result of the Conversion, no Preferred Shares will be issued or outstanding, and all rights of the former holders of Preferred Shares will terminate. Dividends on Preferred Shares to be converted will cease to accrue on the Conversion Date. Accordingly, holders of Preferred Shares will not be entitled to receive the $1.21875 per share dividend declared by the Company in respect of Preferred Shares on February 23, 2022 and payable to holders of record on May 15, 2022. Following the Conversion on the Conversion Date, current holders of Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive the $0.525 per share dividend declared by the Company with respect to the Common Shares on February 23, 2022, but only to the extent such holder remains a holder of record of Common Shares on May 19, 2022.

A copy of the Company’s press release regarding the foregoing is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
