Bayer CropScience Limited held its 67th Annual General Meeting on August 21, 2025 via video conferencing, where all 6 resolutions were passed by the requisite majority. Shareholders approved the audited standalone financial statements for FY ended March 31, 2025 and confirmed a total dividend of Rs. 125 per share for FY25 (Rs. 90 interim + Rs. 35 final). Dr. Thomas Hoffmann was re-appointed as a director retiring by rotation, though this resolution saw the most dissent at 5.66% votes against, largely driven by institutional holders who voted 36.11% against it. Mr. Sanjiv Rangrass was appointed as Non-Executive Independent Director via special resolution. M/s. S. N. Ananthasubramanian & Co. were appointed as Secretarial Auditors for a 5-year term (FY26–FY30), and the remuneration of cost auditors M/s. D. C. Dave & Co. for FY26 was ratified. Total voting participation stood at around 84.7% of outstanding shares across resolutions.
All resolutions were approved, locking in a total dividend of Rs. 125 per share for FY25 shareholders. However, the unusually high dissent (over 36%) from institutional investors against Dr. Thomas Hoffmann's re-appointment is a minor governance red flag worth noting, though it did not affect the outcome.
