Item 1.01 - Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement On October 6, 2021, Bunge Limited ("Bunge") and certain of its subsidiaries amended their trade receivables securitization program with Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A., as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent"), and certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (the "Securitization"), pursuant to the Twentieth Amendment to and Restatement of Receivables Transfer Agreement and Fifth Amended and Restated Receivables Transfer Agreement, which each will become effective on October 18, 2021 (collectively, the "Securitization transaction documents"). In connection therewith, Bunge exercised a portion of the U.S.$200 million accordion feature under the Securitization transaction documents to increase the aggregate size of the facility by U.S.$125 million to an aggregate of U.S.$925 million. In addition, the Securitization transaction documents were amended to include provisions relating to the future discontinuance of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and set forth the mechanics of establishing the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or another applicable benchmark rate as a replacement rate. The Securitization termination date and other relevant terms and conditions were substantially unchanged pursuant to this amendment.

The Securitization transaction documents contain certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants, including a representation as to the eligibility of the receivables being sold, and contain customary termination events and service defaults. Bunge and its subsidiaries are required to repurchase any receivables that are not eligible as represented on the date of sale or become subject to certain non-credit related obligor offsets following sale to the Securitization. Apart from such repurchase obligations, any recourse to Bunge and its subsidiaries under the Securitization will be limited to Bunge's first loss position as subordinated lender, which will be sized based on the historical performance of Bunge's pool of trade receivables.

The foregoing description of the Securitization transaction documents does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Twentieth Amendment to and Restatement of Receivables Transfer Agreement and the Fifth Amended and Restated Receivables Transfer Agreement, a copy of each of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021.
