Bunge issued 9,718,632 of its common shares with a fair value of $570 million and paid 97 million Brazilian reais in cash, which equated to approximately $51 million, at the closing of the transaction. The final purchase price was subject to a post-closing adjustment based on working capital and net debt of the acquired companies at closing under Brazilian generally accepted accounting principles. During the second and third quarters of 2010, Bunge issued 596,768 of its common shares, with a fair value of $30 million and paid 1 million Brazilian reais in cash, which equated to approximately $1 million, in connection with the finalization of all post-closing adjustments. Acquisition related expenses of $11 million associated with the Moema acquisition were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The fair value assigned to intangible assets associated with land lease agreements for the production of sugarcane was determined using the income approach. The fair value of the other intangibles was primarily determined using the market approach. The intangible assets have no expected residual value at the end of their useful lives and are subject to amortization on a straight-line basis. The fair values of tangible assets were derived using a combination of the income approach, the market approach and the cost approach as considered appropriate for the specific assets being valued. None of the acquired assets or liabilities will be measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to the initial recognition.
Moema is a party to a number of claims and lawsuits, primarily civil, labor and environmental claims arising out of the normal course of business. Included in other non-current liabilities is $14 million related to Moema's probable contingencies.
Moema is included in the sugar and bioenergy segment and the goodwill from this acquisition has been assigned to that segment. The acquisition is expected to complement Bunge's existing sugarcane milling and trading and merchandising activities. The acquisition increases Bunge's presence in the sugar and sugarcane-based ethanol industry in Brazil, substantially increasing Bunge's annual sugarcane crushing capacity. The acquired mills form a cluster within a highly productive region for sugarcane in Brazil. The Moema management team's experience in sugarcane agricultural and industrial processes is expected to complement Bunge's expertise in trade and financial risk management. Bunge also expects synergies with its fertilizer business and logistics efficiencies from the acquisition. Goodwill of $489 million is deductible for tax purposes. In addition, the tax deductible goodwill exceeds the recorded goodwill by approximately $95 million resulting in total tax deductible goodwill of approximately $584 million. As a result, a long-term deferred tax asset of $49 million relating to the excess tax deductible goodwill and a corresponding reduction in goodwill have been recorded in the purchase price allocation.
Supplemental pro forma financial information is not presented for the year ended December 31, 2009, because it is not practical to provide this information as Moema historically did not report results under U.S. GAAP.
Included in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2010 are Moema's net sales and losses from operations before income taxes of $496 million and $22 million, respectively.
Argentina Fertilizer AcquisitionIn the first quarter of 2010, Bunge acquired the Argentine fertilizer business of Petrobras Energía S.A., a subsidiary of Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras), for approximately $80 million. The acquired business is included in Bunge's fertilizer segment. This acquisition expands Bunge's presence in the Argentine retail fertilizer market, allowing it to further develop synergies with its grain origination operations through the sale of products to farmers from whom it may purchase commodities. Based on the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired, $66 million of the purchase price has been allocated to property, plant and equipment, $6 million to other current assets, $7 million to other intangible assets, primarily a non-compete agreement, and $1 million to goodwill.
OtherIn the third quarter of 2010, Bunge completed the acquisitions of two oilseed processing facilities in Turkey in separate transactions for a total purchase price of approximately $24 million, consisting of $5 million in cash and $19 million of other prepayments related to existing contractual arrangements. The preliminary purchase price allocations for the combined transactions included $20 million allocated to property, plant and equipment and $4 million to goodwill.
In the fourth quarter of 2010, Bunge acquired the North American rice milling business of Pacific International Rice Mills, LLC (PIRM) in its milling products segment for $43 million in cash. PIRM produces bulk and packaged milled rice for domestic and export customers. The acquisition supports Bunge's strategy of expanding into adjacent value chains within the milling products segment. With the preliminary determination of the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities, $17 million of the purchase price has been allocated to property, plant and equipment, $33 million to current assets and $7 million to current liabilities.
In the fourth quarter of 2010, Bunge acquired the Hungarian margarine businesses of Royal Brinkers in its edible oil products segment for 5 million Euros in cash which equated to approximately $7 million. With the preliminary determination of the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired, $2 million of the purchase price has been allocated to property, plant and equipment, $1 million to other intangible assets and $4 million to goodwill.
Also in the fourth quarter of 2010, Bunge completed the acquisition of several grain elevators in the U.S. in its agribusiness segment in two separate transactions for a total purchase price of $64 million in cash. The preliminary purchase price allocations of the combined transactions included $30 million allocated to property, plant and equipment, $54 million to current assets, $25 million to current liabilities and $5 million to goodwill.
In 2009, Bunge acquired the European margarine businesses of Raisio plc in its edible oil products segment for a purchase price of 81 million Euros in cash which equated to approximately $115 million, net of $5 million of cash received. Upon completion in 2010 of the determination of the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired, $38 million was recorded as property, plant and equipment, $26 million as other intangible assets, $46 million as goodwill, $9 million as net working capital and $(4) million as deferred tax liabilities. In addition, in 2009 Bunge's edible oil products segment acquired the assets of a U.S. vegetable shortening business for $11 million in cash. Upon completion of the determination of the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired, $8 million was recorded as property, plant and equipment, $1 million as intangible assets and $2 million as current assets.
In 2009, Bunge finalized purchase price allocations related to the 2008 acquisitions of a sugarcane mill and a wheat milling business in Brazil. The purchase price for the sugarcane mill acquisition was $54 million, consisting of $28 million in cash, an $8 million short-term note payable and $18 million of assumed long-term debt. Bunge had preliminarily recognized $28 million of goodwill in its agribusiness segment as a result of this transaction. Upon the completion of the purchase price allocation, goodwill was reduced by $12 million with $12 million reallocated to property, plant and equipment, $6 million to intangible assets and $(6) million to deferred tax liabilities. The purchase price for the wheat milling business was $17 million in cash. Bunge had preliminarily recognized $14 million of goodwill in its milling products segment as a result of this transaction. Upon the 2009 completion of the purchase price allocation, this $14 million of goodwill was reallocated with $2 million allocated to property, plant and equipment, $19 million to other intangible assets and $7 million to deferred tax liabilities.
Bunge also completed purchase price allocations during 2009 for the 2008 acquisition of a 50% interest in the owner/operator of a port facility in Vietnam through acquisition of 100% of the company which owns the 50% interest. Bunge determined that its total variable interests in the owner/operator of the port facility, including its ownership share, port management responsibilities and an operational throughput agreement, require consolidation of the owner/operator in its consolidated financial statements under the provisions of a FASB issued standard that provides guidance on entities subject to consolidation. The purchase price was $14 million. Based on the 2008 preliminary purchase price allocation, Bunge recorded $6 million of other intangible assets in its agribusiness segment. Upon the finalization of the purchase price allocation in 2009, $7 million was allocated to other intangible assets and $1 million to deferred tax liabilities.
Pro forma financial information is not presented as these acquisitions individually and in the aggregate are not material. |
