number of risks and uncertainties that could cause a forward-looking statement, estimate or prediction in this
Prospectus to become inaccurate. Accordingly, investors are strongly advised to read the following sections of

Known trends
Bayer's growth could be impeded by increasing global cost pressure on
affecting the
health care systems. The prices of pharmaceutical products are subject to
[Issuer][Guarantor]
regulatory monitoring and control in many markets, and government
and the industries in
reimbursement systems often favor less expensive generic medicines
which it operates
over branded products.. In addition, in some markets, major health care
providers can exert substantial pressure on prices. Price controls and
pricing pressure reduce earnings from Bayer's pharmaceutical products
and may occasionally make the market launch of a new product
unprofitable.
According to Bayer's assessment the current extent of regulatory
controls and market pressures on pricing will persist or increase. Bayer's
Life Science businesses operate in highly competitive markets.
Corporate mergers, along with business practices such as aggressive
pricing strategies ­ not only in the field of generic competition ­ may
adversely affect Bayer's earnings.
Modern agricultural methods, the application of certain classes of crop
protection products and the use of genetic engineering are repeatedly the
subject of intense public debate. This political opinion-forming may
yield legislative and regulatory decisions that significantly limit the use
of Bayer products or even result in voluntary or mandated product
withdrawals. In addition, decisions by the European Union, for example,
also affect agricultural imports from other parts of the world and
therefore Bayer's business in those regions.
In the Crop Science segment, risks may arise from seasonal fluctuations
in the weather, market volatility for agricultural products and Bayer's
customers' financial situations, for example. These may adversely affect
both Bayer's crop protection and seeds businesses.
The current global consolidation process in the seeds and crop protection
industry could greatly alter Bayer's future competitive environment.
Negative economic developments generally have an adverse effect on
the sales markets for Covestro's products, usually leading to lower sales
volumes and a drop in the company's operational earnings. The extent of
these effects on volumes and the operating result also depend on
capacity utilization in the industry, which in turn varies according to the
supply-demand ratio for industry-specific products. A decline in demand
leads to lower sales volumes and ultimately to lower capacity utilization,
which adversely impacts margins.
There is steady growth in public and regulatory expectations with regard
to the safety and efficacy of chemical, biological and pharmaceutical
products so Bayer continues to anticipate increasing regulatory
requirements for clinical or (eco)toxicological studies, for example. This
leads to higher product development costs and longer timeframes.
The Bayer Group, now as in the past, has a portfolio that largely consists
of patent-protected products. Generic manufacturers, in particular,
192583-4-4969-v10.0
- 2 -
41-40644924





attempt to contest patents prior to their expiration. Sometimes a generic
version of a product may even be launched "at risk" prior to the issuance
of a final patent decision. When a patent defense is unsuccessful, or if
one of our patents expires, our prices are likely to come under pressure
because of increased competition from generic products entering the
market.
Furthermore, the presence of traces of unwanted genetically modified
organisms in agricultural products and / or foodstuffs cannot be entirely
excluded. Potential payments of damages in connection with the above
risks may have a substantial negative impact on Bayer's earnings.
B.5
Description of the
Following the stock market flotation of Covestro, Bayer reorganized the
Group and the
Group effective January 1, 2016, and is now focusing on its Life
[Issuer's][Guarantor'
Science activities. These businesses hold leading positions in
s] position within the
innovation-driven, rapidly growing markets. Together, the Life Science
Group
businesses make up a strong, attractive and balanced portfolio that is
resistant to fluctuations in demand and to potential risks. The company's
operations are managed in three divisions ­ Pharmaceuticals, Consumer
Health and Crop Science ­ and the Animal Health business unit, which
are also reporting segments. As of December 31, 2016, Bayer held about
64% of Covestro AG. Covestro therefore also remains a fully
consolidated reporting segment. The operational business is supported
by the corporate functions ­ including Technology Services, which was
integrated into Bayer AG effective July 1, 2016 ­ Business Services and
the service company Currenta. In 2016, the Bayer Group comprised 301
consolidated companies in 78 countries throughout the world.
As the parent company of the Bayer Group, Bayer AG ­ represented by
its Board of Management ­ performs the principal management
functions for the entire Group. These include strategic planning,
resource allocation, executive management and financial management.
With the reorganization at the beginning of 2016, the three divisions at
Bayer AG also assumed responsibility for managing the operational
business.
