RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | 20. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS On April 15, 2015, Bunge and Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Company ("SALIC"), formed a Canadian entity, G3. Bunge has a 51% ownership interest in G3. Bunge accounts for G3 under the equity method of accounting as the ownership interest does not provide Bunge with a controlling financial interest due to certain contractual restrictions. In February 2016, SALIC completed the conversion of debt to equity under the promissory notes granted in favor of G3, thus reducing Bunge's ownership interest from 51% to 35%. Additionally, Bunge has exercised its right under a put option to sell an additional 10% ownership interest in G3 to SALIC for cash, which would further reduce Bunge's ownership interest to 25%. The put transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2016. Notes receivable—Bunge holds a note receivable from Navegações Unidas Tapajós S.A., a 50% equity method investment in Brazil, having a carrying value of $10 million at December 31, 2015 which matures in June 2017, with an interest rate of 11%. Bunge holds a note receivable from Solazyme Bunge Renewable Oils Coperatief U.A., a 49.9% equity method investment in Brazil, having a carrying value of $7 million at December 31, 2015 which matures in April 2017, with an interest rate of 14%.

This note matures on March 21, 2017 with an interest rate of 1 month LIBOR and is included in other long-term liabilities in Bunge's consolidated balance sheet. Bunge holds a note payable with its joint venture ProMaiz S.A. with a carrying value of $6 million at December 31, 2015.
