documentedElias Investments GmbH is identified under Munich HRB 210681, formerly Frankfurt HRB 74707, with the former name CharWolf GmbH and LEI 391200CLKKUQYXBC5Z85. Its stated business covers finding and managing investments, interim management and supervisory/advisory roles, and property ownership. 1

qualification
The accessible directory withholds the company’s shareholder identity. The investment vehicle remains distinct from Austrian Elias Retail Management GmbH.

documentedThe retained Elias Investments history records initial registration on 29 April 2005, EUR 25,000 share capital, Wolfram Johannes Keil as managing director from registration, and the name Elias Investments GmbH from 17 July 2008. 1 2

qualification
A continuing timeline without an end date is evidence of the directory’s last recorded role, not a certified current appointment.

documentedThe retained LEI-derived record identifies Elias Investments GmbH under LEI 391200CLKKUQYXBC5Z85, Munich HRB 210681, German jurisdiction and Grünwald address, with initial LEI registration on 8 December 2017. 3

qualification
Historic issued/lapsed LEI statuses concern identifier maintenance, not company solvency. No parent identity is established by the inspected page.

analysisThe retained German register republication describes a 2014 move to Grünwald and names Wolfram Keil as managing director with permission for self-dealing transactions. Its 22 February 2005 constitution date is distinct from the later registration date. That legal permission is a representation provision and is not evidence that he conducted an improper transaction. 4 1 2

2The Austrian company

analysisElias Retail Management GmbH, FN 485208t, is the separate Austrian company registered in Innsbruck on 3 February 2018 with EUR 35,000 capital for investment management and services to department stores. The official register lists Elias Investments as its sole shareholder from 21 February 2023. Wolfram Keil is listed as liquidator from 13 June 2025, with dissolution/liquidation recorded on 2 July 2025. The shareholder company and the liquidator are different parties and capacities. 1 2

analysisThe German company’s retained financial display reports EUR 6,856,775 of total assets at 31 December 2024. That figure belongs to Elias Investments, not the Austrian retail vehicle. The accessible German document catalogue lists a shareholder list dated 10 February 2021 and 2023 accounts disclosed in April 2025, but the paid documents themselves were not retained. The catalogue does not establish shareholder names. 3 4
