Porsche Automobil Holding SE said Thursday that it has cut its dividend proposal to account for the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Porsche, which holds about 53% of Volkswagen's voting rights, said it would propose a dividend of 2.21 euros ($2.61) per preference share and EUR2.204 per ordinary share at its annual general meeting, which is postponed to Oct. 2.

The company planned to propose a dividend of EUR3.11 per preference share and of EUR3.104 per ordinary share.

Porsche SE's decision comes after Volkswagen AG's left its own dividend proposal at the level of last year.
