By Paul Ausick Published

The long-delayed merger between Volkswagen AG (OTC: VLKAY) and Porsche Automobile Holding SE (OTC: POAHY) has finally been put out of its misery. The two companies have called off the deal as shareholder claims against Porsche have risen to around $2.6 billion for its abortive attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008.

Volkswagen still expects to exercise its option to purchase the 50.1% of Porsche’s sports car unit, known as Porsche AG, which is not listed on any stock exchange.
