Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
------------------------------------------
On November 15, 2005, Bunge Limited Finance Corp. ("BLFC"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Bunge Limited, amended the terms under its existing
$850,000,000 revolving credit agreement. BLFC, as borrower, has entered into the
Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated November 15, 2005
("Amended Revolving Credit Agreement") with Citibank, N.A., as syndication
agent, BNP Paribas, as a documentation agent, Credit Suisse, as a documentation
agent, Cooperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A., "Rabobank
International," New York Branch, as a documentation agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A. as administrative agent, and certain lenders party thereto. The existing
revolving credit agreement was amended to allow BLFC to borrow in both U.S.
dollars and euros. The total U.S. dollar equivalent commitments of $850,000,000
under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement remain unchanged and the
termination date of the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement remains June 29,
2009. Borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement are guaranteed by
Bunge Limited. Apart from the amendments described above, all other material
terms and conditions of the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement remain unchanged.
The Amended Revolving Credit Agreement is included as exhibit 10.1 hereto. From
time to time, certain of the lenders under the Amended Revolving Credit
Agreement or their affiliates provide financial services to the registrant and
its subsidiaries, including customary commercial and investment banking
services.
As of September 30, 2005, approximately $60.0 million was outstanding
