Schaeffler said 40.26 percent of the shares in Continental had been tendered in response to its 75 euro offer and were added to a stake of around 8% that it owned already.


Schaeffler had to give a series of pledges, including not to own more than 49.99 percent of Continental before 2012, to win Continental’s approval for its offer last month.
