<li>Spreads have generally tightened across our liquid universe, 410 bps in the case of Volkswagen. Spreads in Sixt (45.7%) and Schroders (37%) are worth mentioning.</li>
<li>Recommendations Long ords / short prefs: Fuchs Petrolub, Henkel, Handelsbanken.</li>
<li>Recommendations Long prefs / short ords: BMW, Grifols, Roche, Telecom Italia (takeover interest), Volkswagen.</li>

<li>Porsche Automobil Holding Se (PAH3 GR) is a listed holding company whose main asset is a 53.3% stake of Volkswagen ordinary shares (worth c. €43,243 million).</li>
<li>The combination of holding chain and dual-class structure allows the Porsche-Piëch families to control Volkswagen with just a 15.7% economic interest. The discount of Porsche SE is a massive 38.2%.</li>
<li>The discount is above the 9-year average, 30.2%. I recommend long 1 PAH3 GR/short 0.5136 VOW GR.</li>
