ReutersU.S. Supreme Court spurns dispute over Monsanto class-action settlement
(Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a dispute involving a lawsuit against Bayer AG's Monsanto Co that could rein in a common form of settlement in class action cases under which money is awarded to charities and third parties unrelated to the litigation. The justices turned away an appeal by Anna St. John, an attorney who opposed an agreement for Monsanto to pay more than $39 million to settle claims that the company deceptively labeled certain Roundup weedkiller products. Lower courts rejected the challenge by St. John, who had objected to the settlement because $14 to $16 million of the award would go to consumer non-profit groups and a university that were not injured by the company's alleged misconduct.

ReutersBayer chair wins backing from major shareholder advisory firms
Bayer Chairman Norbert Winkeljohann has won backing for his re-election from a pair of major shareholder advisory firms despite criticism from two German investment groups for his numerous board commitments. In separate reports made available to Reuters, Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass Lewis said they were backing Winkeljohann when his term comes up for a renewal vote at the drug company's April 28 annual shareholder meeting. German mutual funds groups DWS and Union Investment last month condemned the multiple board commitments of the Bayer chairman, adding to upheaval at the company which is the target of activist investors in the run-up to a change of chief executive on June 1.
ReutersAfter growing GM corn for decades, some US farmers open to Mexican restrictions
Mexico has found unexpected allies as it tries to limit imports of genetically modified (GM) corn: some U.S. farmers who grow the crops. Farmers have for decades planted GM corn, which protects against insects and weedkillers, with seeds sold by companies like Bayer AG, Corteva Inc and ChemChina's Syngenta. But as believers in a free market, some say the U.S. should agree to sell Mexico non-GM corn, rather than deepen a trade dispute over the proposal, and note they could earn a premium for growing more conventional corn.
ReutersIn listening mode, new Bayer CEO keeps 'open mind' on company split
Incoming Bayer chief executive Bill Anderson says he is keeping an open mind on whether to break up the company into smaller pieces, as some fidgety investors want. Anderson, who takes over the nearly 160-year-old German drugmaker at the start of June after calls from investors to remove his predecessor, says he will spend the next two months "listening" and sees no consensus on the issue so far. The 56-year-old chemicals engineer from the U.S., brought over from Swiss rival Roche, begins at a testing time, weighed down by lawsuits claiming Bayer's weed-killer causes cancer and pressure from investors demanding major change.
ReutersBayer defeats Merck in lawsuit over talc liabilities
(Reuters) -A Delaware judge on Monday dismissed Merck & Co's lawsuit seeking to hold Bayer AG responsible for more talc-related liabilities stemming from its $14.2 billion purchase of Merck's consumer care business in 2014. Vice Chancellor Nathan Cook of the Delaware Chancery Court said the purchase agreement "clearly and unambiguously" left Merck liable for claims related to products, including Dr. Scholl's foot powder, sold before the transaction closed. Merck claimed that its liability ended on Oct. 1, 2021, seven years after the transaction closed, and sued Bayer after the German company refused to assume liability.
ReutersBayer's pharma chief hopes EU takes time to improve drug rules reform
The European Union's decision to postpone rule changes for the pharmaceutical industry could open the way for a rethink of a decision to cut intellectual drug property protection, the head of Bayer's pharmaceuticals division said. The European Commission said this week that the publication of a first draft of a planned revision of drug legislation in the bloc would be "slightly later" than March 29, as initially planned. A version that was leaked earlier this year showed that Brussels was preparing to shorten an additional period of intellectual property protection, known as data exclusivity, which comes on top of drug patent protection.
ReutersBayer plans to spend $1 billion on US pharma R&D in 2023-US pharma head
Bayer AG plans to spend $1 billion on drug research and development in the U.S. this year as it works to double its sales in the country by the end of the decade, Bayer's top U.S. pharmaceutical executive told Reuters. Sebastian Guth, president of Bayer's pharmaceuticals business in the Americas, also said in an interview on Wednesday that the company had raised the number of U.S. employees working on marketing for its pharmaceutical business by around 50% over the last three years, and plans to expand on that by another 75% by 2030. "It's time for us to double down on the U.S.," Guth said, noting that Bayer plans to sell the drugs it is developing itself in the country, rather than partner with U.S. companies like it has in the past.
ReutersExplainer: Biotech corn and soy widely used, consumers still wary of GM wheat
Nearly all corn and soybean acres in the world's largest exporting countries are seeded with genetically modified varieties, but that is not the case for wheat, a crop grown primarily for human food. Biotech varieties of corn and soy, used for animal feed, biofuels and ingredients like cooking oil, were introduced in 1996 and soon came to dominate plantings in the United States as well as Brazil and Argentina, the world's top suppliers. But genetically modified wheat has never been grown for commercial purposes due to consumer fears that allergens or toxicities could emerge in a staple used worldwide for bread, pasta and pastries.

ReutersBayer braces for falling profits in challenge for new CEO
FRANKFURT (Reuters) -Bayer warned operating earnings would decline in 2023, adding to the challenges for its new CEO who will take the helm in June, as the agriculture and healthcare company is hit by higher costs and the reversal of last year's price boost for its weedkillers. Bayer said in a statement that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), adjusted for special items, would likely be between 12.5 billion euros and 13 billion euros ($13.2 billion - $13.8 billion) this year, excluding the effect of currency swings. Chief Executive Werner Baumann, who is scheduled to quit at the end of May, defended the company's presence in agriculture and healthcare.
ReutersBayer says investor Jeff Ubben joins its independent sustainability council
FRANKFURT (Reuters) -Bayer has appointed Jeff Ubben to the drugmaker's independent sustainability council, in a sign that the activist investor will be given a say at the embattled group. The Germany company said in a statement on Monday that Ubben would be one of three new entrants to the nine-member council, which meets with members of Bayer's management board twice a year. Bayer's shares have been weighed down by litigation over its Roundup weedkiller and by its diversified structure, drawing investors' criticism.

ReutersAnalysis: Bayer's new CEO has a full in-tray as investors push for change
Bayer's incoming CEO is inheriting a full in-tray from his predecessor: Thousands of lawsuits claiming its weedkiller causes cancer, an underwhelming drug development pipeline and disgruntled investors looking for major change. Top investors, including mutual funds group Deka, are among those to have complained that Bayer's sagging shares have been burdened by a lack of trust in the company's leadership, with others reckoning one easy fix would be to separate the healthcare and agricultural businesses. Bayer on Wednesday named long-time Roche executive Bill Anderson for the top job after months of shareholder pressure to remove embattled CEO Werner Baumann, who had previously said he would hold on until the end of his current term in April 2024.
