## About <!--about-->
The Reinhard Mohn Stiftung is a non-profit foundation under private law in Gütersloh and one of the four foundations that Bertelsmann names as holding, indirectly and together, 80.9 percent of the capital shares in Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA; the remaining 19.1 percent is held indirectly by the Mohn family, and all voting rights are controlled by Bertelsmann Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH.[^bertelsmann-shareholders] The English Wikipedia article on Bertelsmann names it as one of three foundations holding that 80.9 percent.[^wiki-bertelsmann] GLEIF records it as an active Stiftung des privaten Rechts at Carl-Bertelsmann-Straße 270 in Gütersloh, with an entity creation date of 1 December 2006.[^gleif-rms] No company stands above it: GLEIF carries a direct parent reporting exception for the foundation with the reason that there is no known person, and a foundation of this legal form has no shareholders.[^gleif-rms-parent]
