From the article: "Under the deal, the Porsche and Piëch families, Porsche's shareholders, would obtain 50 percent of the shares in the merged VW-Porsche company."

Interesting form of acquisition.

Yes, it's interesting how the maneuvers by the Porsche folks that led up to this were considered acts of sheer genius just a few months ago. Though the more responsible of pundits pointed out what a risk they were taking by leveraging themselves so deeply in order to manipulate the market in this way.
