128 Euro per share, for a gift
the approval of The Monsanto shareholders is not a Surprise. Although the share price of the group has increased in the past few years, whether the will continue to do so, however, is unclear. Bayer offers shareholders now 128 dollars per share – before it gave in may, the first rumors regarding a takeover bid, the share price stood at not even $ 90. The difference is a gift to the Monsanto shareholders, apparently, is not to be missed, especially since Monsanto’s sales and profits have suffered recently under the low farm prices.
the Deal is not Sealed yet. The Acquisition, subject to approval by the cartel guards in dozens of countries around the world. At least until the end of next year you’ll have to negotiate with divided the groups. The Acquisition should fail because of the Veto of the authorities, must Bayer to pay two billion dollars to Monsanto. Especially the critical agencies in the US, the EU, Brazil, and Russia need to consider whether the combined agricultural group would have makes too big of a market.

In the USA, the future President Donald Trump is currently leading to additional uncertainty: He ranted in the election campaign is always the overwhelming Power of some corporations and made from his penchant for protectionism of American companies never a secret. On the other hand, he wants to appoint a very business-friendly Cabinet.

According to the financial news service Bloomberg, he accused Monsanto chief Hugh Grant and other Board members of conflicts of interest. You will personally benefit greatly from the merger, and shareholders to withhold information. The day before the annual General meeting, a judge dismissed the lawsuit, however. You could, however, be in the state of Delaware, Monsanto’s legal headquarters, re-submitted.
The Bayer-shareholders do not have to agree to the Takeover. The German stock Corporation law does not provide for this. The Bayer shareholders have reason for concern: The Acquisition will put a strain on the group is financially strong. Since the beginning of the year, the share price has fallen by more than 18 percent, the German Dax index rose in the same period by almost five percent. Monsanto has protectors, it’s also always in Trouble with the environment and ends up in the Image Rankings is always one of the last places. All of the Bayer will have to deal with in the future.
