SUSE to go private again, become unlisted Luxembourg entity

Aug 18, 2023

iTWire Friday, 18 August 2023 09:52 SUSE to go private again, become unlisted Luxembourg entity Featured 0 SUSE chief executive Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen.Supplied German open source vendor SUSE has announced that its majority shareholder Marcel intends to take the company private by delisting it from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange through a merger into an unlisted Luxembourg entity. In a statement released on Thursday, the company said Marcel was a holding company controlled by fund entities that comprised EQT Private Equity which acquired SUSE in 2019. These, in turn, were managed and legally controlled by affiliates of EQT with its registered seat in Stockholm, Sweden. Marcel holds about 79% of the shares in SUSE. The statement said EQT intended to start a voluntary public purchase offer to other shareholders of SUSE to buy their shares prior to the delisting. The process is expected to be completed by October. SUSE, the company behind the oldest Linux distribution, was first bought by Novell in 2003. It was then acquired by Attachmate in 2010 and taken private, when the company bought Novell. In 2014, British mainframe company Micro Focus acquired SUSE from Attachmate along with the other properties that were part of Novell. The amount that Micro Focus earned from the SUSE sale — US$2.535 billion — was more than what it paid for Attachmate as a whole – US$2.35 billion. EQT's purchase of SUSE from Micro Focus was announced on 3 July 2018, making the company a standalone business once again. The deal was completed in March 2019. SUSE chief executive Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen commented: "I believe in the strategic opportunity of taking the company private – it gives us the right setting to grow the business and deliver on our strategy with the new leadership team in place. “EQT Private Equity’s and SUSE’s partnership in a private setting has been fruitful before and we are excited about the long-term potential of the company and our continued collaboration."
