Closing of Viterra/Bunge Merger

Further to its announcements on 13 June 2023 and 16 June 2025, Glencore confirms that the merger of Viterra with Bunge Global S.A. (Bunge) closed today. Under the merger terms Glencore received:

1. 32.8 million shares in Bunge, representing 16.4% of the enlarged company, and

2. around $900 million in cash, subject to later adjustment under the merger terms.

Reflecting Glencore's capital allocation and leverage framework, by which our balance sheet is managed around a certain net debt threshold, we view these NYSE-listed Bunge shares as representing surplus capital. The shares have a current market value of c.$2.63 billion based on yesterday's closing price. Glencore intends to commence a share buyback programme, underpinned by the value of this shareholding, of up to $1 billion representing less than 40% of the current market value of the shares. Glencore intends to commence the buyback on Monday 7 July (for which it shall make a further announcement prior to commencement) and for the programme to be completed by the time of the release of our financial results for the 2025 financial year, in February 2026.

The information in this document provides an insight into how we currently intend to direct the management of our businesses and assets and to deploy our capital to help us implement our strategy. The matters disclosed in this document are a 'point in time' disclosure only. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current predictions, expectations, beliefs, opinions, plans, objectives, goals, intentions and projections about future events, results of operations, prospects, financial conditions and discussions of strategy, and reflect judgments, assumptions, estimates and other information available as at the date of this document or the date of the corresponding planning or scenario analysis process.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future events, results, performance, achievements or other outcomes expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could impact these uncertainties include, without limitation, those disclosed in the risk management section of our latest Annual Report and/or Half-Year Report, which can each be found on our website. These risks and uncertainties may materially affect the timing and feasibility of particular developments. Other factors which may impact risks and uncertainties include, without limitation: the ability to produce and transport products profitably; demand for our products and commodity prices; development, efficacy and adoption of new or competing technologies; changing or divergent preferences and expectations of our stakeholders; events giving rise to adverse reputational impacts; changes to the assumptions regarding the recoverable value of our tangible and intangible assets; inadequate estimates of resources and reserves; changes in environmental scenarios and related regulations, including, without limitation, transition risks and the evolution and development of the global transition to a low carbon economy; recovery rates and other operational capabilities; timing, quantum and nature of certain acquisitions and divestments; delays, overruns or other unexpected developments in connection with significant projects; the ability to successfully manage the planning and execution of closure, reclamation and rehabilitation of industrial sites; health, safety, environmental or social performance incidents; labor shortages or workforce disruptions; natural catastrophes or adverse geological conditions, including, without limitation, the physical risks associated with climate change; effects of global pandemics and outbreaks of infectious disease; the outcome of litigation or enforcement or regulatory proceedings; the effect of foreign currency exchange rates on market prices and operating costs; actions by governmental authorities, such as changes in taxation or laws or regulations or changes in the decarbonisation policies and plans of other countries; breaches of Glencore's policy framework, applicable laws or regulations; the availability of sufficient credit and management of liquidity and counterparty risks; changes in economic and financial market conditions generally or in various countries or regions; political or geopolitical uncertainty; and wars, political or civil unrest, acts of terrorism, cyber attacks or sabotage.

Readers, including, without limitation, investors and prospective investors, should review and consider these risks and uncertainties (as well as the other risks identified in this document) when considering the information contained in this document. Readers should also note that the high degree of uncertainty around the nature, timing and magnitude of climate-related risks, and the uncertainty as to how the energy transition will evolve, makes it particularly difficult to determine all potential risks and opportunities and disclose these and any potential impacts with precision. Neither Glencore nor any of its affiliates, associates, employees, directors, officers or advisers, provides any representation, warranty, assurance or guarantee as to the accuracy, completeness or correctness, likelihood of achievement or reasonableness of any forward-looking information contained in this document or that the events, results, performance, achievements or other outcomes expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this document will actually occur. Glencore cautions readers against reliance on any forward-looking statements contained in this document, particularly in light of the long-term time horizon which this document discusses in certain instances and the inherent uncertainty in possible policy, market and technological developments in the future.

No statement in this document is intended as any kind of forecast (including, without limitation, a profit forecast or a profit estimate), guarantee or prediction of future events or performance and past performance cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance.

Except as required by applicable rules or laws or regulations, Glencore is not under any obligation, and Glencore and its affiliates expressly disclaim any intention, obligation or undertaking, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This document shall not, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the business or affairs of Glencore since the date of this document or that the information contained herein is correct as at any time subsequent to its date.
