BERLIN, Oct 7 (Reuters) - German real estate company Vonovia said on Thursday it had reached 60.3% of voting rights to acquire Deutsche Wohnen, becoming the majority shareholder of its smaller rival after a sweetened bid.

Vonovia said Deutsche Wohnen shareholders who had not yet accepted its offer could tender their shares during an additional acceptance period ending on Oct. 21 for 53 euros in cash per share. (Reporting by Riham Alkousaa, editing by Silke Koltrowitz)
