AutoScout24 GmbH
AutoScout24 GmbH is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in Germany under HRB 128701 München, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. Its registered address on file is Grünwald, Germany. 5 shareholders are on record for AutoScout24 GmbH, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Handelsregister (Commercial Register) and was last updated on 2 October 2026.

Shareholders
5
Five shareholders are currently on record for AutoScout24 GmbH, held on the Gesellschafterliste (shareholder list), filed under §40 of the GmbHG.
The largest of these is Speedster Bidco GmbH, holding 77% — a majority holding — followed by Speedster Bidco GmbH at 4.9%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes.
The register reports 10 shareholders in total, though only the top 5 by holding are shown in this view.
Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Officers
5
Four of the 5 officer records shown for AutoScout24 GmbH are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Michael Luhnen (appointed 2021-10-12) and Peter Alan Brooks-johnson both serve as Geschäftsführer (managing director); Felix Maximilian Frank (appointed 2021-10-12) and Justin Nicholas Re (appointed 2021-10-12) both serve as Officer. The remaining 1 record shown (Frederik Kraus) is a former appointment that has since been resigned.
The register reports 60 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.
Management authority at AutoScout24 GmbH sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control.
The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.
Group Structure
AutoScout24 GmbH sits 6 levels below its ultimate parent, H&F Speedster Lux S.a r.l., registered in Luxembourg. 10 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 7 jurisdictions. The full chain up to H&F Speedster Lux S.a r.l. is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by AutoScout24 GmbH's own shareholder record. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.
Those 10 subsidiaries span Germany, Italy, Canada, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, and 1 more jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. Four of the 10 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
