Bayer Reveals $62 Billion All-Cash Offer for Monsanto


Bayer has offered $122 per share for Monsanto in an all-cash deal that values the U.S. company at $62 billion, according to a statement released Monday.

The Bayer statement said the bid was at a 37 percent premium to Monsanto's May 9 closing share price of $89.03. Talks between the German drugs company and the U.S. agri-chemicals-maker were revealed on May 19. 

Bayer said that it expected the deal to provide its shareholders with mid-single-digit percentage accretion to core earnings per share in the first full year after the deal closed. This would increase to a double-digit percentage afterward, the company said.
