Default though VAG thinks it's a low offer.

Porsche said the increased stake was to prevent other takeover attempts on VAG, but even if ownership stays @ 30.9% it gives them considerable say and veto power over VAG corporate decisions.<ul><li><a href="http://www.volkswagenag.com/vwag/vwcorp/info_center/en/news/2007/05/Board_of_Management_and_Supervisory_Board_of_Volks wagen_Aktiengesellschaft_publish_Statements_concer ning_the_Mandatory_Offer_of_Porsche.html">http://www.volkswagenag

Default They were required to make an offer by law. They made a lowball offer to ensure it wasn't taken.

Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
