Suzuki Motor Corp said it has sold its entire 1.5 per cent stake in Volkswagen AG to Porsche Automobil Holding SE and will post a special profit of 36.7 billion yen ($304 million) on the transaction.
The Japanese automaker said on Saturday it had sold 4,397,000 Volkswagen common shares and that they would be transferred on September 30.
Porsche said on its website that its holding in Volkswagen would increase to 52.2 per cent after the transfer.
Suzuki has already bought back a 19.9 per cent share of its own stock that Volkswagen was ordered to sell by an international arbitration court last month, ending a long-running dispute between the two after a cooperative agreement between them turned sour.
