And? It doesn’t matter how they were founded 100 years ago. Nowadays they are part of the Bayer AG and are one of three (soon to be two) clubs who are exempt from the 50+1 rule.

Which one is the third club? As far as I know, it's only Leverkusen and RB

Hoffenheim, Leverkusen, Wolfsburg.

RB is just shady. They are no works team. They are RasenBallsport Leipzig e.V., e.V. meaning "eigetragener Verein" - registered association. A "normal" club on paper.

Leverkusen, Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim. RB is not exempt from 50+1. They found a workaround

RB is not legally exempt from the rule, they just get around it.

That makes no sense. The reason why they are exempt from the rule is because the club literally has the roots in the company that founded it ages ago. It absolutely does matter when and how they were founded. Otherwise they wouldnt be exempt.
