De-listing from London Stock Exchange and Stockholm Stock Exchange



Basel, Switzerland, September 15, 2003

Syngenta AG announces that it intends to cease trading of its shares on the
London and Stockholm Stock Exchanges due to the low level of trading volumes on
those exchanges; the company will also de-list its shares from the Official List
of the UK Listing Authority. Syngenta will maintain its listing on the Swiss
Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange, where the majority of the trading is
transacted. The listing on all four stock exchanges at the time of Syngenta's
flotation reflected the shareholder base of its legacy companies.

The company is circulating full de-listing details to affected shareholders;
commission free dealing services will be available for those who wish to
dispose of their holdings.

The cessation of trading will occur at the close of business on 29th December
2003. The shares will be de-listed on 30th December 2003.

Syngenta is a world-leading agribusiness committed to sustainable agriculture
through innovative research and technology. The company is a leader in crop
protection and ranks third in the high-value commercial seeds market. Sales in
2002 were approximately US$6.2 billion.      Syngenta employs some 20,000 people
in over 90 countries. Syngenta is listed on the Swiss stock exchange (SYNN),
London (SYA), New York (SYT) and Stockholm (SYN). Further information is
