Bayer CEO wins first AGM shareholder vote

(Reuters) - Bayer CEO Bill Anderson on Friday won a vote of confidence at his first annual general meeting (AGM) at the helm of the embattled healthcare and agriculture group, defying a challenge from one German fund managing house.

Bayer said investors with 91.69% of the equity capital represented at the AGM voted in favour of the CEO and his top management team in an election to ratify their conduct in 2023.
