Our notes

IONOS Annual Report 2025: 'STRATO GmbH, Berlin (100.0%)' held via intermediate IONOS Holding SE; United Internet AG holds 63.8% of IONOS Group SE (voting-rights notification 9 Feb 2023). GLEIF reports STRATO as NON_CONSOLIDATING, contradicting the consolidated group accounts, while IONOS Group SE's own LEI (391200NQNTF0AP2MP438) correctly names United Internet AG as parent. A clear GLEIF-visibility case. Control type is from a listed parent's annual report rather than a register extract. Re-checked 2026-10-18 against the report text ('STRATO GmbH, Berlin (100.0%)'; United Internet 63.8% at 31 Dec 2025). Post-report changes could not be web-searched this run.
