BERLIN, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Porsche P911_p.DE CEO Michael Leiters told staff there were no plans to cut an additional 4,000 jobs at the Volkswagen VOWG_p.DE sports car subsidiary, according to an internal memo seen by Reuters on Monday.
The CEO was responding to a Handelsblatt report that said Volkswagen's supervisory board viewed another 4,100 jobs at the brand as superfluous, on top of 9,000 layoffs already agreed.
"There are no plans to cut an additional 4,000 jobs at Porsche," Leiters said, adding that the existing restructuring plan had been approved by Porsche's own supervisory board. 
"We do not anticipate any changes to it."
