Caatoosee

Caatoosee AG was a German software and IT services company headquartered in Leonberg near Stuttgart. Its legal predecessor, Media Group – Agentur für neue Medien GmbH, was founded in Stuttgart in 1996. In 2000 the company was renamed and converted into caatoosee ag, and on 20 September 2000 it went public. The name derives from an American Indian chief and was only slightly modified. The company was initially listed on the Neuer Markt and later on the General Standard, and consequently reported under IFRS. Caatoosee operated in the fields of IT outsourcing and IT services. Its founder Guido Alt served as a member of the management board until 30 June 2008. The supervisory board included Rainer Dietmann (chairman), Klaus Taraschka (deputy chairman) and Wolfgang Russ. Group revenue peaked in the 2001/2002 fiscal year at €42.4 million, then declined over the following years, falling to €18.2 million in 2008 and to just €0.2 million in 2010. On 7 July 2011, an ordinary general meeting resolved with the majority of shareholders to liquidate the company effective 31 December 2011. In the following months caatoosee ag ceased business activities and converted its remaining assets into liquid investments. The first liquidation fiscal year began on 1 January 2012. The company focused essentially on investing its financial resources. The liquidation was expected to be completed in 2015, and on 24 July 2015 a liquidation surplus of €0.88 per share was paid out to shareholders. As of 31 March 2015, equity stood at €10.64 million, and the shareholder structure was MWZ IT GmbH with 75.74% and free float with 24.26%.
