3 Min Read BERLIN (Reuters) - SUSE, an open-source enterprise software company with German roots, on Monday announced its intention to float on the Frankfurt stock exchange as it seeks fresh capital to invest in organic growth and acquisitions. SUSE will issue $500 million in new shares via the offering to pay down debt while Swedish investment fund EQT, which acquired SUSE in 2018 for $2.5 billion, will sell an unspecified further number of existing shares. EQT hired SAP veteran Melissa di Donato to run SUSE two years ago and the American - the first woman to lead a company undertaking an initial public offering in Germany - has driven its aggressive expansion.
