Group Structure
Group structure of NetCom BW GmbH
NetCom BW GmbH is part of a verified corporate group and is not an independent company. Its immediate parent, by direct majority shareholding, is EnBW Telekommunikation GmbH, which holds 54.54% of NetCom BW GmbH’s share capital. EnBW Telekommunikation GmbH was newly formed in April 2019 to consolidate EnBW’s telecommunications activities and is a wholly owned (100%) subsidiary of EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG; on this verified chain, EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG’s calculated effective indirect ownership of NetCom BW GmbH is 100% x 54.54% = 54.54%. EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG, listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Xetra: EBK, ISIN DE0005220008), is the highest identifiable entity in this ownership chain and is treated here as the ultimate parent. NetCom BW GmbH’s two other direct shareholders sit outside this chain: EnBW Ostwürttemberg DonauRies Aktiengesellschaft (20.36%) is itself majority-owned (89.48%) by EnBW REG Beteiligungs GmbH, a separate EnBW group entity, so it is also treated as part of the wider EnBW group, though the further link to EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG’s own stake was not independently confirmed. OEW Energie-Beteiligungs GmbH (25.1%) is an independent public-sector holding company for a consortium of Baden-Württemberg district authorities; it is not part of the EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG subsidiary chain, although it is separately reported to hold a major shareholding in EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG itself. No verified direct or indirect subsidiaries of NetCom BW GmbH were identified in the sources reviewed.
