A letter from Mark Zenuk,

Chairman of the Board

Dear Shareholders,

As Chair of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to provide an update on Bunge’s performance and the Board’s oversight during a year of tremendous transformation.

In 2025, the Board remained focused on its core responsibilities: guiding strategy, overseeing risk, strengthening governance, and supporting long‑term value creation.

A defining milestone was the completion of Bunge’s combination with Viterra on July 2, 2025. This transaction was subject to extensive Board review and oversight. The combination strengthens Bunge’s global platform and the business risk profile. Early integration progress and realized synergies also reinforce the Board’s confidence in the rationale for the transaction. Bunge’s credit rating upgrades, following the announcement of the Viterra combination, recognize the strength of the combined company and our financial stewardship.

Throughout the year, the Board stayed engaged in risk oversight. Through the Enterprise Risk Management Committee and the work of each Board committee, we oversaw management’s approach to key risks, including commodity and market volatility, geopolitical developments, climate‑related and regulatory risks, cybersecurity, and integration execution. The Board believes this framework promotes resilience and supports informed decision‑making.

Board composition and effectiveness also remained a priority. In 2025 and following the closing of the Viterra transaction, we welcomed five new directors whose experience across global agribusiness, supply chains, international markets, business technology/cybersecurity, and risk management further strengthens Board oversight. Ongoing refreshment efforts have reduced average tenure, promoted gender diversity, and ensured the Board’s skills and perspectives remain aligned with Bunge’s evolving strategy.

The Board continued to oversee disciplined capital allocation and portfolio optimization this year. In addition to strategic investments, the Board supported divestitures of non‑core assets and approved capital returns, including the payment of $459 million in dividends and the repurchase of 6.7 million Bunge shares for $551 million. These actions reflect a balanced approach to growth, financial flexibility, and shareholder returns, while maintaining a strong balance sheet.

Sustainability and responsible business practices remain integral to Bunge’s strategy and risk management and are subject to active Board oversight. In 2025, Bunge advanced its non‑deforestation commitment in priority regions, strengthened supply chain traceability, and continued to integrate sustainability considerations into strategic and investment decisions. The Board also guided Bunge’s readiness for evolving regulatory and disclosure requirements across jurisdictions that are new to us with the addition of Viterra operations.

Human capital and safety are foundational to Bunge’s success. The Board oversees talent development, succession planning, and workplace safety, reinforcing a strong safety culture and sustained accountability.

Looking ahead, the global operating environment remains dynamic for Bunge. The Board believes the company is positioned to expertly navigate ongoing uncertainty through its expanded platform, risk management, and continued focus on execution – themes that management recently communicated at its 2026 Investor Day in March.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank you for your continued trust and thank the management team for their commitment and leadership.
