Highlights

At the start of the year, the shareholders of “Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche KG” decide to turn the limited partnership into a public limited company with a share capital of 50 million German marks on August 1. Dr Ferry Porsche becomes Chair of the Supervisory Board, and Dr Ernst Fuhrmann becomes spokesman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG. The transformation of the company from a limited partnership [Kommanditgesellschaft, KG] into a public limited company [Aktiengesellschaft, AG] results from a decision by the Porsche and Piëch families that operational leadership positions should no longer be held by family members.
