Frasers Group has increased its stake in Hugo Boss to 50.08 percent and can therefore unilaterally pass ordinary resolutions at general meetings and have greater influence on committee appointments.

Hugo Boss reported a 9 percent revenue decline in the second quarter to €905 million and an EBIT of €59 million with a margin of 6.5 percent.
