Eine aktive Senkung des Anteils war das nicht. Wiese hatte viele seiner Aktien als Sicherheit für Kredite
verpfändet. Wie der Kurs eingebrochen ist, hätte er nachschießen müssen. Das konnte oder wollte er aber
nicht, also wurden die Aktien verwertet. Ein Margin Call im Großen.
Steinhoff's Wiese Takes Billions in Losses as Stake Falls
Christo Wiese’s stake in Steinhoff
International Holdings NV has been cut to about 6 percent after banks sold stock put up by the former
chairman to secure margin loans, costing him billions of dollars in losses on the scandal-hit South
African retailer.
The reduction in the shareholding from 20.52 percent was
involuntary and he doesn’t know which lenders sold or who bought the stock, Wiese said in a phone
interview Monday. That’s the last of the forced disposals, and he has no plans to sell down the stake
further, the billionaire said.
