PROPOSAL 5 - SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING SHAREHOLDER RIGHT TO ACT BY WRITTEN CONSENT
|
||
|
OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE AGAINST THE ADOPTION OF THE RIGHT TO ACT BY WRITTEN CONSENT THAT IS NOT UNANIMOUS
|
||||
|
Board of Directors Statement in Opposition to the Shareholder Proposal
|
||
|
The Board of Directors recommends a vote
“Against”
the foregoing proposal for the following reasons:
|
||
|
Bunge’s shareholders have an existing right to call a special meeting of shareholders in an informed, transparent and equitable manner.
The Board is committed to strong corporate governance and responsiveness to Bunge’s shareholders. The Board believes in maintaining policies and practices that serve the best interests of all shareholders. After careful consideration, the Board has determined that the proposal is not in the best interests of Bunge and its shareholders. Currently, any matter that either we or our shareholders wish to present for a vote must be presented at an annual or special meeting of shareholders, absent unanimous written consent by shareholders. The proposal would deprive the right of all shareholders to be consulted on important matters concerning their investment in Bunge.
|
||
|
The Board believes that a written consent right is unnecessary given the current ability of our shareholders holding at least 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares to call a special meeting of shareholders to consider proposals between regular annual meetings.
Further, a majority of S&P 500 companies either do not permit shareholders to act by written consent or require that any shareholder action by written consent be unanimous. As such, the kind of shareholder action by written consent requested by the proponent is not the prevailing market practice and supports the Board’s view that the adoption of this proposal is unnecessary.
We have a robust shareholder engagement program and our shareholders have indicated that a 10% special meeting right is preferable to a written consent right.
Bunge’s extensive shareholder engagement provides shareholders with effective access to management and the Board. Over the past several years, our independent Board Chair and management have engaged with investors representing approximately 40% to 50% of our issued and outstanding shares. Our shareholder outreach program enables us to regularly engage with our shareholders to gain valuable insights into current and emerging issues that matter most to them, including corporate governance matters, executive compensation, sustainability, and diversity and inclusion. Feedback from these discussions is relayed to the Board and is a key element in the development of our governance, compensation and sustainability policies, as well as the ongoing evaluation of our business strategy and performance.
Although shareholders possess a variety of views, our shareholders have expressed that the right to act by written consent was unnecessary in light of our shareholders’ current right to call special meetings. Further, our shareholder right to call special meetings allows shareholders to propose actions without waiting for our next annual meeting. The Board believes that having a special meeting right at a 10% ownership threshold strikes the right balance for Bunge, as it is a low enough threshold to provide a meaningful right for shareholders to act between annual meetings, yet high enough to prevent a single shareholder (or small group of shareholders) from acting without broad shareholder support.
Furthermore, Bunge’s shareholders can hold our directors accountable through our annual elections and our majority voting standard. Bunge encourages shareholders to share their perspectives on governance matters and other topics. Methods for communicating with the Board are described in this proxy statement under the section entitled “Communications with Our Board.”
Bunge’s current practices are designed to ensure that prior notice and an opportunity to be heard precede all shareholder votes and that shareholders have an opportunity to discuss and consider all points of view on a proposed matter.
In particular, the Board believes that a shareholder meeting allows for an important deliberative process in a transparent, informed and equitable forum because the date, place and time of the meeting are required to be given to shareholders in advance with adequate notice to permit participation of all shareholders. This process ensures that accurate and complete information, as required in the proxy statement and any soliciting materials, are widely distributed to shareholders in advance of the meeting and shareholders are given adequate time to consider the arguments presented by all sides as well as the opportunity to discuss the proposed action’s merits in an open forum with members of management, other shareholders, and the Board. Further, the Board, who owe a fiduciary duty to all shareholders, have the opportunity to provide a recommendation to shareholders regarding the proposed action.
In contrast, if implemented, the written consent process (referred to under Bermuda law and Bunge’s Bye-laws as “written resolution”) would enable a limited group of shareholders to act in favor of their own proposed actions at any time and as frequently as they choose, without a meeting and without ever providing advance notice to other shareholders. Actions taken by written consent could disenfranchise shareholders by depriving many shareholders of the critical opportunities to receive notice, assess, discuss, deliberate, and vote on the merits of proposed actions. In general, shareholders are not entitled to receive advance notice of a proposed action to be taken by written consent and, thus, may not be given sufficient time or opportunity to evaluate the proposed action and to consider differing points of view.
|
||
|
Further, the Board would not have the opportunity to analyze and provide a recommendation with respect to a proposed action by written consent. As currently contemplated by the written consent proposal, any proponents of an action by written consent may not need to satisfy any holding requirements with respect to our common shares, which may allow market participants engaging in short-term speculation to potentially determine the outcome of any particular issue. The lack of basic procedural safeguards in the written consent process may facilitate the exertion of inappropriate influence by shareholders with special interests that may be inconsistent with the long-term best interests of Bunge and shareholders.
Action by written consent would expend significant Company resources and cause shareholder confusion and is not consistent with prevailing market practice.
Permitting shareholder action by written consent that is not unanimous could cause confusion to shareholders and disruption to Bunge. Under the proposal, multiple groups of shareholders could solicit written consents on a range of issues at the same time, some of which may be duplicative or conflicting. Additionally, proposals advanced by short-term or special-interest investors would expend significant administrative and financial Company resources in defending against such actions, while providing little or no corresponding benefit to shareholders.
The Board has demonstrated a strong commitment to corporate governance best practices.
The Board believes that Bunge’s strong corporate governance practices and shareholder rights provide the appropriate means to advance shareholders’ interests and, as such, the proposal is unnecessary, counterproductive and potentially harmful. Our corporate governance program includes the following leading practices:
•
Independent, non-executive Board Chair;
•
Strong shareholder engagement annually representing 40 - 50% of our issued and outstanding shares;
•
Ability of holders of 10% or more of our issued and outstanding common shares to call a special meeting;
•
Declassified Board;
•
Majority voting for directors;
•
Nine out of 11 Board nominees are independent, and only independent directors serve on the Audit, Human Resources and Compensation, and Corporate Governance and Nominations Committees;
•
Use of an independent compensation consultant to the Human Resources and Compensation Committee;
•
Commitment to Board refreshment, with nine of 11 director nominees having joined the Board within the past five years;
•
Director retirement age of 72;
•
Non-management directors meet regularly in executive sessions;
•
Diverse Board with broad range of key skills, qualifications and experience;
•
Annual Board review of Company strategy;
•
Active risk oversight by full Board and committees;
•
Board commitment to sustainability and corporate citizenship;
•
Robust Board self-assessment and director nomination processes;
•
Board takes active role in management succession planning;
•
No Board members serve on an excessive number of outside public boards;
•
Longstanding investor outreach program; and
•
No poison pill.

|
In light of our existing right of shareholders to call special meetings with at least 10% ownership threshold, as well as the Board’s continuing commitment to effective corporate governance, the Board believes that adoption of the shareholder proposal is unnecessary and not in the best interests of Bunge and its shareholders. We firmly believe that our existing corporate governance practices strike the right balance and ensure shareholders have appropriate access and means to express their views to the Board and fellow shareholders.
|
||
| For the foregoing reasons, the Board recommends that you vote AGAINST this proposal. | ||
