Our notes
Re-checked 18 Oct 2026. Source upgraded. The earlier URL (Kiteworks DE release, 21 Nov 2023) only announces a signed agreement ('Abschluss einer definitiven Vereinbarung über den Zusammenschluss'), not a completed deal. The acquirer's release of 7 Dec 2023 (San Mateo) says Kiteworks 'has closed on acquiring ownCloud'. The ownCloud imprint (owncloud.com/imprint) gives HRB 21960 AG Regensburg and links to that closing release. No percentage is stated, and the Handelsregister shareholder list was not opened. The holding entity (Kiteworks Inc. or Kiteworks Europe AG, CH) is not documented. Kiteworks' own control: a 2024 growth round by Insight Partners and Sixth Street is reported in secondary sources as a minority stake. Not verified by us, so 'pe-controlled' is not claimed. No later sale of ownCloud found. GLEIF NON_CONSOLIDATING contradicts the acquisition.
