- Bunge Ltd (NYSE:BG) and Glencore Plc’s (OTC:GLNCY) Viterra grains division reportedly discuss a merger.
- There is no certainty that Viterra, part-owned by Switzerland-based mining and trading giant Glencore, will be able to reach an agreement on the terms, reported Reuters, citing a person familiar with the matter.
- A merger offers Glencore the potential to monetize its 49.9% Viterra stake, reported Bloomberg citing JPMorgan analyst Dominic O’Kane, who values that holding at $6.1 billion.
- JPM assumes Glencore will keep a minority stake in the combined business, which may have an equity value of around $25 billion.
- A deal would have to be approved by antitrust authorities, as there is a significant overlap in locations such as South America and Canada, added Bloomberg.
