The Bayer Group maintains the best investor relations activities among DAX companies. This was the result of a survey conducted by the German Investor Relations Association DIRK, the German business magazine Wirtschaftswoche and Thomson Reuters Extel. The company was presented with the German Investor Relations Award 2010 for its activities in this area. In addition, the company received the Capital Investor Relations Award 2010 from the German business magazine Capital.
Said Bayer AG Management Board Chairman Werner Wenning at the presentation ceremony for the German Investor Relations Award in Frankfurt: “This award honors our transparent communication with investors. We will continue our open and honest dialogue with the capital market.” The analysts and investors surveyed by Thomson Reuters Extel for this award praised the information quality of the company’s reports and the fact that Bayer’s team is always well-informed. They singled out the company’s meet-the-management events, which bring together members of the financial community with many members of Bayer’s senior management team.
In the Capital Investor Relations Award 2010 presented by Capital magazine, Bayer garnered second place among the EURO STOXX 50 companies and thus improved its position by one notch compared to the previous year.
