Osho International Foundation, UK, was registered in London on Dec 22, 2016. Registration # 10536983.

OIF UK is a Private Company Limited by Guarantee, not a charitable foundation as its name might suggest. Its beneficiaries are the directors and their immediate family members ("person Connected to a Director").

"The objects of the Company are:
2.1 to promote and make available the literary works, teachings and universal proposal of meditation and celebration of Osho (formerly known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, 1931- 1990) including teachings on 'Neo-Sannyas', explained by Osho as a commitment to be initiated into the meditation techniques, a commitment to search for truth - which is individual, alone with self-responsibility and not in any way collective or organized as a congregation;
2.2 to preserve and maintain the Osho library and the archive of literary works and teachings of Osho, and to upgrade this archive in whatever media format is appropriate and possible to make available for future generations;
2.3 to represent, expand and protect the intellectual properties of works by Osho and additional intellectual properties of Osho International Foundation; and
2.4 to advance any other charitable, benevolent or philanthropic purpose."
(excerpt of the company memorandum, see ref 1)

At this point it is unclear if Osho's library and/or other assets will be transferred to OIF, UK.

The company has two directors:

  • Michael Byrne (Sw Anand Jayesh) (dob **/01/1948)
  • Ronald Tanner (dob **/10/1955)
