• BAYN GY: Bayer Group today announced the consolidation of the U.S. glyphosate business into Ruveon LLC to optimize

and align the business with the specific needs of the U.S. market environment. Ruveon is based in St. Louis, Missouri, and

remains a Bayer Group business. link

• Comment from Marjan Daeipour (healthcare spec sales): separating out US glyphosate business into an operating entity,

Ruveon, which could help right size the cost base of this low mgn segment. In our view, this in and of itself is not a prelude

to a US listing as profitability of US glyphosate is low. Some could see this as a prelude to further Crop restructuring at a

later point in time and a potential listing.
