Shareholder composition
The share capital of Porsche SE amounts to
175 million euro, and is divided into 87.5 million
ordinary shares and 87.5 million listed preference
shares, with a pro rata share of capital stock of one
euro per no-par value share. Until the end of the
2008/ 09 fiscal year, the ordinary shares had been
held indirectly exclusively by members of the Porsche
and Piëch families. In August 2009, Qatar Holding
LLC indirectly acquired ten percent of the ordinary
shares of Porsche SE.
In the reporting period, more than half of the
preference shares were held by institutional investors
such as equity funds, banks and insurance firms.
Most of these are based in the US and Canada, as
well as the UK and Germany, and to a lesser extent in
other European countries and Asia. Less than half of
the Porsche preference shares are in free float and
are held by private investors mainly from Germany.
The holders of ordinary shares of Porsche SE also
own preference shares.
