Monsanto rejects Bayer multi-billion dollar bid



Monsanto has rejected an offer worth $62 billion (55.6 billion euros) from Bayer that would have created the world’s biggest agricultural supplier.

The American multinational and leading producer of genetically modified seed said in a statement that the offer was financially inadequate.

But the company said it was open to more dialogue to see whether a transaction could be achieved.

It means the door remains open to the a new agricultural and agrochemical giant.

Bayer had called its bid “an extraordinary opportunity to create a world agriculture leader”.

The German group had offered $122 (109 euros) a share in cash, reportedly making it the largest all-cash offer.

The possible merger could meet with opposition from competition authorities and critics of genetically-modified organisms.

....all 'theorists' say Monsanto rules the world....

...so maybe it was just a charade after all...

Not to worry about competition authorities they are all asleep at the switch as is the SEC and all other governing bodies. They all belong to a Good Ole Boys club. They control and manipulate everything.Once Bayer takes control of Monsanto they can charge whatever they damn well please. Real competition in the world is dead.
