MAN SE (MAN.XE) said Wednesday that Invesco AIM Management Group Inc. (IVZ) has corrected a statement made last week on the stake it amassed in the German truck maker and engineering group, adding that the U.S. investment firm's stake was actually less than 3% and not 10.4% as announced Sept. 30.

"The voting rights announcements were incorrect and resulted from ... a calculation error (at Invesco)," MAN said in a statement.

A spokesman for MAN said the company isn't responsible for the incorrect statement.

Invesco wasn't immediately available for comment.

The initial announcement suggested that Invesco had become MAN's second-largest shareholder after Volkswagen AG (VOW.XE), which holds a stake of 29.9%. The announcement sparked market speculation that Invesco could help Volkswagen prepare a takeover of MAN.
