Bunge and Viterra merge to create agri-trading powerhouse worth billions.
Bunge and Viterra are merging to create a $34 billion agricultural trading giant, bringing Bunge closer in global scale to leading rivals Archer-Daniels-Midland and Cargill. The deal will likely draw close regulatory scrutiny. Viterra shareholders will get about 65.6 million shares of Bunge stock, carrying a value of about $6.2 billion, and about $2 billion in cash. Bunge will also assume $9.8 billion of Viterra's debt. The merger is expected to generate about $250 million of annual gross pre-tax operational synergies within three years.
