Bayer S.A. concluded a settlement (Termo de Compromisso de Cessação) with the Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (CADE, Brazilian competition authority) in proceedings concerning the exchange of competitively sensitive information between employers in the consumer goods sector with possible effects on the Brazilian labour market. The company admitted its participation, undertook to cease the conduct and to cooperate with the investigation, and allegedly pays 5,003,188.80 BRL to the Fund for Diffuse Rights (FDD). In the same proceedings, 3M do Brasil concluded a separate settlement of allegedly 4,454,414.82 BRL. The amount and the facts have not been confirmed against the primary source.
