I'm literally going to read from the Wikipedia here because the Wikipedia is extremely well written. Under the Volkswagen law, no shareholder in Volkswagen AG could exercise more than 20% of the firm's voting rights regardless of their level of stock holding. This law was supposed to protect the Volkswagen Group from takeovers. In October 2005, Porsche acquired an 18.53% stake in the business.
