Dear members of the Special Committee and Mr. Wolf,
Funds managed by Greenlight Capital, Inc. and its affiliates collectively hold approximately 3.5% of Vitesco Technologies Group AG (“Vitesco”) shares outstanding. - We identified Vitesco as the winner in “Electrification” post spin-off from Continental AG and we have been a supportive long-term shareholder.
- Vitesco could initiate this spinoff process and aim to implement the spinoff before Schaeffler would have time to propose its undesirable share-for-share merger.
