Bayer CEO says has not had contact with activist investor Elliott

DUESSELDORF (Reuters) - Bayer (DE:BAYGn) Chief Executive Werner Baumann said on Monday he has not had any contact with Elliott Management, following a Reuters report which said the U.S.-based activist investor had taken a position in the German pharmaceuticals giant.

"Nobody has called me," Baumann said in response to a question about contact with activists at an event in Duesseldorf.
