ZURICH, Nov 13 (Reuters) - The following are some of the 
main factors expected to affect Swiss stocks on Friday. 
     
    SYNGENTA  SYNN.VX  
    China National Chemical Corp is in talks to buy Syngenta   
but its initial offer of nearly $42 billion for the world's 
largest agrichemical company was rejected, Bloomberg reoported, 
citing unidentified sources.  ID:nL3N138015  
    State-owned ChemChina's first offer valued the agricultural 
chemicals group at 449 Swiss francs per share, or 41.7 billion 
Swiss francs ($41.72 billion). It said the rejection stemmed 
from regulatory concerns. (http://bloom.bg/1HL1GRF) 
     
    ROCHE  ROG.VX  
    The Swiss drugmaker will take a 1.6 billion Swiss franc 
charge to end manufacturing at four sites in Europe and the 
United States in a move that will result in up to 1,200 job 
losses as it addresses "current underutilisation" stemming from 
a changing portfolio of medications.
