Data availability
Those 37 subsidiaries span Germany, United States, British Virgin Islands, Estonia, Poland, Japan, and 12 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. 16 of the 37 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
