<div style="text-align:justify"><div>Today, BASF closed the acquisition of Bayer&rsquo;s global vegetable seeds business, mainly operating under the brand Nunhems&reg;. The transaction adds a well- recognized brand with a very successful business track record to BASF&rsquo;s portfolio. The&nbsp; acquired&nbsp; vegetable&nbsp; seeds&nbsp; business&nbsp; comprises&nbsp; 24&nbsp; crops&nbsp; and&nbsp;&nbsp; about 2,600 varieties. It also includes well-established, strong R&amp;D and breeding systems with over 100 unique breeding programs in more than 15 crops.<br />The addition of the vegetable seeds business enhances BASF&rsquo;s global offer to farmers. It strengthens BASF&rsquo;s seed platform and complements the recently expanded Agricultural Solutions portfolio, which includes seeds and traits, chemical and biological crop protection, soil management, plant health, pest control and digital farming.<br />This closing completes BASF&rsquo;s acquisition of a significant range of businesses and assets with combined 2017 sales of &euro;2.2 billion, which Bayer offered to divest in the context of its takeover of Monsanto. The all-cash purchase price amounts to a total of &euro;7.6 billion, subject to certain adjustments at closing.</div>
