On Monday morning, Bayer unveiled a $62 billion unsolicited takeover offer for Monanto that values the company at $122 a share. At $122 a share, the bid is a 37% premium to Monsanto’s closing share price on May 9 and comes at a multiple of 15.8 times its previous twelve months of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
Monsanto rejected Bayer’s $62 billion takeover offer, saying the biotech seed giant’s business merited a higher price, though Monsanto said it remains open to further talks on a deal.
