Volkswagen has announced the final terms of the merging of Volkswagen and Porsche companies that looks more like an ultimatum to Porsche. Volkswagen will pay an amount of 3 to 4 billion euros to Porsche, after which the two automakers will proceed to merging, transmits Reuters.

As a result of the deal, the shares of the ownership will be distributed as follows: 40 per cent of the shares will go to Porsche and the family Pitch that owns it, 20 per cent will go to the owners of the land of Lower Saxony, a major holder of shares of Volkswagen, 15 per cent of the shares will become the property of Qatar, that wishes to make a partial investment in the deal, and 5 per cent will go to an unnamed investment fund. And nothing is reported about what will happen to the remaining 20 per cent.

The U.S. Congress is seriously considering that it should establish new management service rates, which are to be fees that sellers must pay to those banks that issue credit cards. In the case of this solution it will not have the best impact on banks that will receive such remuneration, transmits Reuters. Experts say that as a result of that action the banks may try to separate the effects of such solutions to credit issuers, which are Visa and MasterCard. And as a result, these companies, which are the world’s largest payment systems, may suffer from much lower incomes and falling prices for their shares.
