Frasers Group plc (FRAS.L) stated that it intends to strengthen its position in Hugo Boss (BOSS.DE) by possibly acquiring additional shares, aiming to hold more than 50.00% of the company’s share capital and voting rights. The group may also continue selective acquisitions or dispositions within the investment portfolio. At the same time, Frasers is reviewing whether to maintain its support for Stephan Sturm as chairman of Hugo Boss’s supervisory board.

At the last close on the Xetra exchange, Hugo Boss shares were quoted at €38.65.
