Item 1.01. Entry into

On
August 5, 2008, Bunge Limited (Bunge), Bleecker Acquisition Corp, a direct, wholly owned
subsidiary of Bunge (Merger Sub) and Corn Products
International, Inc. (Corn Products) entered into

dated as of June 21, 2008, among Bunge, Merger Sub and Corn Products (the Merger Agreement).
Pursuant to the Amendment, the parties

Products capital stock to correct certain technical errors in
that section of the Merger Agreement. In addition, the parties
amended Section 8.01(e) of

South Korean antitrust regulatory authorities is not a condition to the closing of the merger.
