Ready to reload The closing of the Bunge/Viterra deal comes at a fortunatetime as GLEN's current $1bn share buyback programmecompleted last Friday. This is a positive catalyst as the dealproceeds should allow GLEN management to launch anotherbuyback programme of at least $1bn ahead of H1 results.

As a result, all conditions relating to anti-trust and foreign direct investment lawshave been satisfied. Subject to remaining conditions being met, Bunge expects to complete thetransaction on 2 July 2025, just over 2 years since the deal was announced on 13 June 2023.Under the terms of the agreement, Glencore will receive $1bn in cash and 32.8m Bunge shares($2.67bn market value) for its ~50% stake in Viterra.

We estimate GLEN acquired 268m shares (~2.2% of outstanding shares) atan average price of 288p. The FY24 results' shareholder returns framework already incorporatedreceipt of the Viterra $1bn proceeds to enable the $1bn buyback just completed. Tom Zhang, CFA+44 (0)20 3555 1395tom.zhang1@barclays.comBarclays, UK Using YTD actual commodity prices and fx, we estimate pro-forma net debt (including $1bnproceeds from the Viterra deal and marketing leases) at 30 June 2025 of $10.2bn including~$1.1bn of non-RMI working capital release. Based on the $11bn net debt target (includingmarketing leases of ~$1bn), this implies ~$0.22bn excess cash is available for top-up returns inH2(afterpaying the H2 dividend of $0.6bn). However, Glencore management previously stated(at H1-24 conference call) the likely option to monetise some of the Bunge stock ahead of its12m lock-up to allow for additional buyback programmes. We believe management is likely touse this option to launch another buyback programme of at least $1bn ahead of the H1 resultson 6 August. Meet Mehta+91 (0)22 6175 1943meet.mehta@barclays.comBarclays, UK Our view:With near-term cash flow relatively constrained by low commodity prices (includingcoal prices), we see monetisation of the non-core asset portfolio (including Bunge shares postclosing of the Bunge/Viterra transaction) to boost shareholder returns as a positive catalyst. Weremain OW, given our positive medium-term outlook on the steelmaking coal market (albeitslightly delayed due to weaker China and ex-China steel markets), while we think thermal coal iswell supported at current levels for the foreseeable future.
