| TechCrunch的观点:0 SUSE,德国Linux供应商和企业收购者工具牧场主和NeuVector等都有其公平份额的主人,因为它成立于1992年。Novell,于2003年收购了它。然后Novell本身在2011年被Attachmate的集团收购。然后Attachmate的微焦点在2014年合并,只出售SUSE私人股本公司2018年EQT Partners,然后把它公开IPO在法兰克福证券交易所在2021年夏天的好日子。现在,再次EQT Partners正在SUSE私人。EQT仍SUSE的最大股东在其时间在公开市场,拥有79%的股份。该公司提供一个67%的溢价SUSE股东对该股尾盘在昨天,但它也将让现有股东仍然投资于该公司在私人场合,太。EQT预计SUSE在今年最后一个季度摘牌。从SUSE我们没听过很多关于这个举动,但是整体的信息似乎是,它为公司照常营业。“我相信将公司私有化的战略机遇——它给了我们正确的设置增长业务和实现我们的战略与新领导团队,“Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen说,SUSE的CEO,在一个罐头声明。 “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.” SUSE has been in the news quite a bit this year. Not only did it hire away its new CEO Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen from Red Hat earlier this year and very recently named new chief financial and strategy officers, but the company also smartly jumped into a vacuum left by Red Hat’s decision to make it harder for third-party Linux distribution vendors to get access to the source code of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). In response to Red Hat’s decision, SUSE decided to fork RHEL and then partnered with a number of the affected vendors to launch the Open Enterprise Linux Association (OpenELA). SUSE says going private will allow it to “focus fully on its operational priorities and execution of its long-term strategy” — a focus that will surely include capitalizing on what the company clearly perceives is an opening to take away market share from Red Hat.
