But the Herz family still aims to keep its shareholding in Escada below 30 percent, the source said on Tuesday.

The Herz brothers want other shareholders, which include Russian investor Rustam Aksenenko with a holding of around 20 percent, to take up new Escada shares in proportion to their percentage stakes, it said. (Reporting by Jan Schwartz)
