The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated September 17, 2024 (the “Base Indenture”), by and among BLFC, Bunge and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated August 4, 2025 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”) by and among BLFC, Bunge and the Trustee.
