Proper response (knowing or not) would have been - "We have been working with SGL for couple years now on exciting products such as xxx." - Free PR of products you name. "I am glad to see VW follow us into this space." (Jab at VW, isn't Audis slogan - "never follow")

Anyway, its easy to be a Monday quarterback, but he is a CEO who should know better.
Good points in regards to Making the most of it for PR/marketing.

But if they admit they knew but withheld the information from shareholders, it's a different kind of bad. Especially since it's followed up so close to the BMWi announcement.
