Control changes the ownership picture

Frasers' majority position means Hugo Boss earnings, assets and liabilities are expected to be consolidated into the retailer's accounts. The Reuters report said Hugo Boss had rejected Frasers' EUR 38.00 per-share offer as financially inadequate, while German governance rules continue to leave day-to-day management with the Managing Board.

Frasers bought the latest block at EUR 38.41 per share. The purchase lifted its holding to 34,468,065 shares out of 68,821,052 issued shares, while put option contracts could require the retailer to acquire a further 21.87 percent. These figures define the financial scale of the ownership change without changing Hugo Boss' listing on Xetra.
