Corporate structure

—

GLEIF (LEI 529900B635NV0KEEOR57, status LAPSED post-insolvency, checked 2026-09-10) reports no parent entity, consistent with Manz AG having been a widely-held public company (Deutsche Börse, ISINs DE000A0JQ5U3 / DE000A11Q117) rather than a filing gap; no controlling shareholder is disclosed in any pre-insolvency source found. Now defunct (see body) so this is historical.

Descriptive trend in official policy actions on this company’s materials — a policy-pressure trend, not a price or trading signal. No forward probability is implied. Direction is measured on actions we have discovered, and discovery lags events: where the recent window is too thin to support a calm reading, the row says coverage-limited instead of easing.
