Amendment Description Bunge Limited ("Bunge", "the Company", "we", "us", and "our") is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this "Amendment") to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 ("Original Form 10-Q") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 6, 2015 ("Original Filing Date") to restate the Company's previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and to amend certain other disclosures in the Original Form 10-Q as a result of the restatement. The restatement corrects an error in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 relating to the classification of cash received from settlement of net investment hedges, which resulted in an overstatement of operating cash flows and understatement of investing cash flows in the same amount. There was no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September, 30, 2014 or any of the other financial statements contained in the Original Form 10-Q.
