Xara

Xara GmbH is at Quedlinburger Strasse 1, 10589 Berlin, Amtsgericht Charlottenburg HRB 117581 B, VAT DE815053023. The company was formerly MAGIX Online Services GmbH and took the Xara name in 2016. Its sole shareholder is Bellevue Investments GmbH & Co. KGaA (Berlin, HRB 168182 B), the former MAGIX AG — listed in 2006, delisted in 2014, converted to a KGaA in 2015 — which is in turn majority-held by BELLEVUE Holding GmbH in Brandenburg. GLEIF records Bellevue’s direct and ultimate consolidating parent as a reporting exception of “no known person”, so nothing sits above it. The May 2026 acquisition of Xara by ProvenExpert is an intra-group transfer: ProvenExpert is Expert Systems AG, a Bellevue subsidiary since 2011.

Two corrections worth stating, because both read as disqualifying and are not. MAGIX Software GmbH, named in Xara’s privacy policy, is a data recipient rather than an owner; it left Bellevue’s shareholder list in 2018 and now sits under RM Equity Partners in Liechtenstein. And the Boris FX acquisition of 30 March 2026 took the VEGAS Pro, Sound Forge and Acid Pro product lines from MAGIX, not equity in either company.

One caveat for evidence quality. The Designer Pro+ EULA names its licensor as “Xara Group Limited” of Hemel Hempstead under English law — but Companies House holds no company of that name, and the company that occupied that address, formerly Xara Limited, was dissolved on 7 January 2025. The live contracting entity is the Berlin GmbH, so the jurisdiction is not in doubt; the record simply rests on the imprint rather than on a governing-law clause.
