Frequently Asked Questions

The share capital of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche Aktiengesellschaft (“Porsche”, “Porsche AG” or the “Company”) amounts to EUR 911,000,000 and is divided into 455,500,000 non-voting preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”) and 455,500,000 ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”). The Porsche AG IPO was limited to Preferred Shares only.

The Preferred Shares carry no voting rights in the Company’s annual shareholder meeting but holders of Preferred Shares will receive an additional dividend of EUR 0.01 per Preferred Share on top of every dividend that Porsche pays out to its shareholders.

The Preferred Shares of Porsche are listed on the regulated market (regulierter Markt) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse) with simultaneous admission to the sub-segment of the regulated market with additional post-admission obligations (Prime Standard).

At this point in time the Preferred Shares are not listed on other (regulated) stock exchanges.

In September 2025, Deutsche Börse adjusted the composition of the German equity indices. As part of this process, Porsche AG moved from the DAX to the MDAX. The reassessment was based on the index rules governing free-float market capitalization.

Porsche AG’s free float, at just over 12%, is comparatively low. As only freely tradable shares are considered for DAX inclusion and the share price had declined over the relevant period, the company’s free-float market capitalization was no longer sufficient to remain in the DAX. The reclassification was therefore driven by technical index criteria.

The move to the MDAX had no material impact on capital market interest or Porsche AG’s capital market activities. The share of passive, index-oriented investors also remained stable. Regardless of index classification, Porsche AG continues to be one of the largest listed companies in Germany and Europe, based on its total market capitalization and the strength of its brand.

Porsche Automobil Holding SE (“Porsche SE”) is the holding company of the Porsche and Piëch families with investments in the areas of mobility and industrial technology listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche intends to distribute an annual dividend around 50% of the group result after tax according to IFRS attributable to the shareholders of the company. However, this is subject to the statutory restrictions with regard to the distribution of profits and the available funds and subject to the prevailing market conditions and the economic situation at the time of the distribution. In accordance with the current statute of Porsche AG, an additional dividend of EUR 0.01 per preference share will be paid on the preference shares.

It can be assumed that the dividend, upon confirmation of the dividend proposal by the Annual General Meeting, will amount to €1.01 per preferred share carrying dividend rights and €1.00 per ordinary share carrying dividend rights.
