Porsche SE says it raised voting rights share in VW

Stuttgart (Reuters) - Porsche SE, the holding company controlling Germany's Volkswagen (DE:VOWG_p), on Tuesday said it raised its voting rights share in the carmaker to 53.1 percent from 52.2 percent.

"We continue to believe that Volkswagen group has a significant potential to increase its value and that its current capital market valuation does not reflect this," Porsche SE's CEO Hans Dieter Poetsch, who is also the chairman of VW's supervisory board, said.
