Volkswagen Initiates Buyout of Remaining Scania Stock

Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft is paying SEK 200 plus interest of SEK 5.02 in cash per share to the noncontrolling interest shareholders of Scania who did not tender their shares in the course of Volkswagen’s offer. This was announced by Volkswagen in Wolfsburg on Tuesday, based on the corresponding decision by the responsible arbitration tribunal. Volkswagen has controlled 100 percent of the shares in Scania since January 2015.

Based on the arbitration tribunal’s decision dated February 2, 2015 which became legally binding on April 21, 2015 on the payment of the undisputed redemption amount to the noncontrolling interest shareholders in Scania, Volkswagen has paid SEK 200 plus interest per share. The interest of SEK 5.02 per share arises as a result of the Swedish Interest Act and is based on the amount of SEK 200 for the period from May 13, 2014 until the payment date. For 3,435,794 Scania shares, the total amount paid by Volkswagen is approximately SEK 704 million (approximately EUR 76 million). The final redemption amount will be determined once the squeeze-out proceeding has been finalized.

The arbitration tribunal’s decision dated November 11, 2014, resulted in Volkswagen becoming the owner of 100 percent of the shares in Scania in January 2015.

On February 21, 2014, Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft announced a voluntary offer to the shareholders of Scania Aktiebolag to tender all shares in Scania at a price of SEK 200 in cash per share, regardless of share class. Volkswagen announced on May 13, 2014 that the offer will be completed. At the same time, Volkswagen initiated a squeeze-out for the Scania shares that were not tendered in the course of the offer.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Event Report: Southern Worthersee 2015

There’s been much ado about this year’s SoWo since this past Saturday night, when Instagram, Facebook and other Social Media channels exploded with images and commentary focusing on the event’s bad eggs. But first, let’s chat a bit about the event itself. Our journey started early Thursday morning as part of the Orchid Euro/Coolwater cruise to the event. What should have taken about 12-13 hours ended up taking much more, as we stopped to help any Volkswagen that needed our assistance. And while the extended commute time wasn’t ideal, it proved to highlight the ‘no person left behind’ spirit of the Volkswagen community- arguably one of the scene’s best qualities. On Friday and Saturday, the town was flooded with enthusiasts, making this year’s event without a doubt the largest yet. Attendees came from as far as California, Mexico City, and event a few straight from the original Wörthersee in Austria, and for most it was well worth the trip. The quality o...
