REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST | 15. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST In July 2012, Bunge and Nutre Farming B.V (“Prio”) entered into a joint venture agreement whereby Bunge acquired a 55% interest in a newly formed oilseed processing venture in its agribusiness segment in Eastern Europe. Bunge consolidates the venture in its consolidated financial statements. In conjunction with the formation of the venture, Bunge entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 45% interest at either Bunge’s or the noncontrolling interest holder’s option in the future. The exercise date and price of the option were reasonably determinable. As a result, Bunge had classified the noncontrolling interest as redeemable noncontrolling interest in its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. During the second quarter of 2016, Bunge exercised its call option with Prio for their 45% interest in the joint venture for approximately $39 million. The transaction has concluded in September 2016.
