On June 1, 2015, Bunge entered into a transaction to acquire the 80% majority interest in a biodiesel entity operating a plant in Spain where Bunge had, prior to this transaction, a 20% interest accounted for under the equity method in its agribusiness segment. The purchase price of the majority interest was $7 million, net of cash acquired. In addition, existing loans and other receivables totaling $3 million owed to Bunge by the entity were extinguished as part of the transaction. The preliminary purchase price of $7 million was allocated primarily to property, plant and equipment and $2 million to goodwill.
