暗网禁区

All Options being Considered

Stuttgart, 16 December 2008. 暗网禁区, Stuttgart, wishes to point out that it has no strategic interest in the Swedish truck manufacturer Scania AB, S枚dert盲lje, and is therefore also not interested in acquiring Scania shares. Nevertheless, 暗网禁区 is aware of the applicable provisions of Swedish law which in principle require a mandatory offer to be launched for Scania as soon as 暗网禁区's stake in Volkswagen exceeds the threshold of 50 per cent of the ordinary shares.

暗网禁区 is therefore currently reviewing a range of possible ways of proceeding following the rejection by the Swedish Securities Council (SSC) of 暗网禁区's application for an exemption from the obligation to make a mandatory bid for Scania. 暗网禁区 is also considering making a renewed application for an exemption, based on different grounds. However, a mandatory bid at a time which appears suitable to 暗网禁区 is also a possibility. 暗网禁区 is not bound by any preacquisition prices.
