Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Phantom stock units are issued under the Bunge Management Services Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Certain Employees and are payable in cash upon settlement. The cash value delivered upon settlement is calculated by multiplying the number of phantom stock units by the fair market value of a phantom stock unit on the date of settlement. The fair market value of the phantom stock unit is based upon a conversion ratio that is approximately 3.3 phantom stock units per share, but the exact ratio will vary as a relatively small portion of the value of each phantom stock unit corresponds to such unit's pro rata portion of cash held in the plan.
(2) Immediately.
(3) The settlement of phantom stock units will be in cash upon the earlier to occur of (a) the reporting person's termination of service with BG and (b) a change in control of BG.
(4) The amendment reflects the number of shares of BG common stock underlying the Phantom Stock Units as of the Transaction Date, as determined in accordance with footnote 1 above.
