The Heyde AG was on the Neuer Markt -listed software company and joint stock company based in Bad Nauheim .
history
In contrast to many other companies listed on the Neuer Markt, Heyde AG can look back on decades of history. The company's founder Dieter Heyde founded a management consultancy in 1971 with the hiring of the first employee , which in 2000 employed around 800 people in Germany and around 1,800 worldwide. Heyde AG had its headquarters in Bad Nauheim and several German and European branches. In 1998 Heyde + Partner GmbH merged with aperia software und service GmbH and SWT GmbH to form Heyde AG and in September the company placed itself in the Neuer Markt stock exchange segment. This IPO had the goal of building the company into a global corporation and financing the company's growth. Another partner, Xionet GmbH, was added in 2001. In 2002, the initially rapid soaring ended with bankruptcy . Heyde AG developed solutions for innovative business processes for the financial services ( banking , insurance ) and supply chain (warehouse management, e-business, SAP ) market areas. The successor company was Inconso, headed by Bertram Salzinger.
Fraud Allegations and Bankruptcy
The company and the company founder were suspected of fraud several times. A formal investigation into insider trading in shares against Heyde AG was initiated as early as 2001. Already in the run-up to the later insolvency of the company, a testing institute had warned against the acquisition of Heyde shares. In 2002 Heyde AG officially filed an “application to open insolvency proceedings due to insolvency”. The former company owner was sentenced in November 2006 by the Friedberg district court to a suspended prison sentence of 16 months on suspicion of misappropriating funds. He was accused of having carried out the multi-million dollar renovation work on his private villa at company expense. It was about a sum of around 2.45 million euros that are said to have been withdrawn from the company's funds. With a ruling dated May 14, 2009, the Giessen Regional Court finally closed the proceedings against Dieter Heyde in accordance with Section 153a of the Code of Criminal Procedure (StPO) and released the entrepreneur from these allegations.
