Our notes
SUSE's own release (17 Aug 2023) re-read: Marcel LUX III SARL, controlled by EQT VIII fund entities managed by affiliates of EQT AB (Stockholm), held approx. 79% of the then-listed SUSE S.A. That document predates the delisting/merger into the current SUSE S.A. (B279240); no newer primary document (EQT portfolio page 404, SUSE newsroom has no ownership release Jun-Oct 2026) was found, hence medium. 2026 press says EQT is exploring a sale and still majority owner; no deal announced on SUSE's newsroom as of check date. Retired twin LEI 213800C9JTKV8DLW6403 (old listed SUSE S.A., B225816) - avoid. Marcel LUX III SARL LEI ISSUED, renews 2027-03-24, registered B225723. GLEIF re-queried 2026-10-18: fields match. Owner is European (Swedish) PE.
