That $122-per-share offer would allow CEO and Chairman Grant to walk away with a total package of more than $123 million after a takeover, including from the sale of shares and the exercise of options he already owned, a Reuters analysis of Monsanto filings shows. But $73.5 million of that represents gains the 58-year-old Scot could make as a result of the Bayer courtship, largely thanks to increases in the value of his stock options. The gains also reflect the rise in the value of his shareholdings and accelerated payout of bonuses that would occur if there is a takeover, as well as a $14.5 million "golden parachute" severance payment he would receive if he loses his job as a result. There is no certainty that ongoing negotiations will result into a deal although Monsanto\'s board has signaled interest in reaching an accord with Bayer. Grant, who is eligible for retirement, said his company firmly endorsed "the substantial benefits an integrated strategy could provide to growers and broader society" after the bid was snubbed on Tuesday. Even should a deal be struck, it is not certain that Grant would be ousted. But in most takeovers, the CEOs of the targets tend to exit after their companies are sold. The agrochemicals mega-deal between Dow Chemical Grant\'s exposure to shares and options means he has an incentive to hold out for the highest possible sale price in any deal, which would not only be in the interests of shareholders but also increase the value of his holdings. A $130-per-share bid, for example, would lift his holdings by another $12 million, the Reuters analysis shows. A spokesman for St Louis-based Monsanto declined to comment on its compensation scheme. PAYDAY The company - which makes the world\'s most widely used herbicide, Roundup - has been wrestling with low crop prices and spending cutbacks by U.S. farmers, which have hit its profits. Before reports about a potential Bayer bid in early May, Monsanto\'s shares were trading at around $90. At that price, Grant\'s share options were worth around $1 million. At $122-per-share, they are worth over $49 million. Other top executives would also benefit from a takeover. Brett Begemann, president and chief operating officer, could walk away with a total of $36.5 million for his shares and in gains on his options, accelerated bonuses and severance, should a deal be done at $122-a-share and his job terminated. Such an accord would make him about $20 million better off than he was based on the pre-bid share price. The other three directors whose total pay is disclosed in filings - Chief Financial Officer Pierre Courduroux, Chief Technology Officer Robert Fraley and General Counsel, David Snively - could walk away with a total of over $56 million in shares, bonuses and severance if a deal goes through. Any merger of Bayer\'s agrochemicals operations with Monsanto\'s would be the second "mega-deal" in the industry in recent months after the creation of DowDuPont, a $130 billion giant. The departing CEOs of Dow Chemical and DuPont will walk away with a combined $80 million. Dow\' Andrew Liveris will get $52.8 million in cash, stock and other payments, including about $40 million he is already entitled to on his retirement, DowDuPont said in a regulatory filing.

Additionally, the bribery and corruption allegations that led to the settlement are inherently adverse events, reflecting poorly on Airbus's corporate governance and ethical standards. Given these factors, the sentiment associated with this news is clearly negative due to the emphasis on legal and ethical misconduct by Airbus.
So the news sentiment is negative.</s>

The news concerning Danone's advanced talks to acquire WhiteWave Foods Co is indicative of a strategic move to enhance its product portfolio with popular healthy food offerings and to target affluent consumers. This potential acquisition seems to be a part of Danone's broader strategy to revive its growth, especially after facing challenges in other markets. The company's commitment to "strong profitable and sustainable growth" and the proactive steps taken by the CEO Emmanuel Faber, such as reviewing its business in China and overhauling its dairy division, suggest a forward-looking approach to business expansion. Furthermore, the news hints at a positive market reception with Danone's shares near 11-month highs, suggesting investor confidence in the company's direction. Therefore, the sentiment associated with this news is expected to be positive given the growth opportunities and potential market expansion for Danone.
So the news sentiment is positive.</s>

SAP last week trimmed its sales outlook for this year, warning that a slowdown in China was prompting companies across Asia to put investments on hold. But the move still comes as a surprise, as Snabe had brushed off criticism of the company's dual leadership structure as recently as early July in a newspaper interview. "After more than 20 years with SAP, I have decided that it is time for me to begin the next phase of my career, closer to my family," Snabe said in a statement. SAP said the proposal for Snabe to move to the supervisory board must have the support of at least 25 percent of shareholders at the company's annual general meeting next May. Hasso Plattner, co-founder of SAP and chairman of the SAP supervisory board said the two executives had exceeded his expectations for achieving profitable growth. "Now I can look to bring Jim's experience and energy to the SAP supervisory board, and be sure SAP is firmly in the hands of a visionary leader with Bill as sole CEO," Plattner said.'

The news indicates a significant change in the executive leadership of SAP with the transition of co-Chief Executive Jim Hagemann Snabe to the supervisory board, leaving Bill McDermott as the sole CEO. This transition is presented in the context of SAP's recent performance issues, such as a trimmed sales outlook and a slowdown in China leading to investment delays in Asia. The sentiment could be perceived as negative due to the unexpected nature of the move, especially after Snabe's recent defense of the company's dual leadership. However, the change is framed with a positive outlook by co-founder Hasso Plattner, who expresses confidence in McDermott's leadership and looks forward to Snabe's continued contribution to the supervisory board. The mixed elements of surprise and strategic optimism, along with the planned and orderly transition, suggest a balanced view. So the news sentiment is neutral.</s>

Senger was part of a network of external managers Chief Executive Herbert Diess had brought in to reform the company.

Give the sentiment label of the following ESG news:
'Volkswagen is replacing its head of software development, newspaper Handelsblatt reported on Sunday, as the German carmaker wrestles with the transition to electric vehicles. The newspaper said Christian Senger, a former BMW manager who runs the recently founded Car.Software.Org unit, was to be replaced after clashes with the company and concern at software problems with the recent ID.3 and Golf 8 vehicles. Senger was part of a network of external managers Chief Executive Herbert Diess had brought in to reform the company. Senger, after working on BMW’s i3 electric car, helped Volkswagen make its MEB electric car platform, a key pillar of its revival in the wake of a 2015 diesel cheating scandal. The software post is one of the most important in the development of new-generation electric vehicles, which are far more reliant on computer power than the combustion engine that have been Volkswagen's mainstay. Volkswagen declined to comment on the report. A management purge has already seen Andreas Renschler, a former Mercedes-Benz manager leave his post as head of the Traton Trucks unit, and Stefan Sommer, a former Chief Executive of auto supplier ZF, leave his post at VW. Senger was also leaving his post as a member of the board of Volksagen's core VW brand, the newspaper said, although it added that chief executive Herbert Diess was hoping he would stay with the company. Volkswagen's powerful staff council, led by Bernd Osterloh, have forced out cost-cutters at the company in the past. Wolfgang Bernhard, a former VW brand chief and Bernd Pischetsrieder, a former head of the Volkswagen Group, quit following clashes with labour leaders.
