- Monsanto (MON +1.1%) strategy executive Scott Partridge says the company does not plan to increase its takeover offer for Syngenta (SYT -0.1%), and that it would be "bidding against itself" since no other suitor has emerged, Dow Jones reports.
- SYT on Monday rejected MON’s latest ~$45B offer, deriding as "paltry” a proposal to pay it a $2B reverse breakup fee if regulators block a deal.
