Ownership test · UK ownership and control
No designated holder found where the chain could be followed; it breaks at 1 point
About ELMEC TRADE OU, assessed under EE number 14291975.
First said on 17 Sept 2026, and replaced on 18 Sept 2026. A daily run that reaches the same verdict on the same holdings, listings and breaks confirms it. When anything it rests on changes, a new verdict begins at a new address.
- Before it, from 16 Sept 2026 to 17 Sept 2026: “No designated holder found where the chain could be followed; it breaks at 1 point”
- After it, from 18 Sept 2026 and still current: “No designated holder found where the chain could be followed; it breaks at 1 point”
The words can stay the same across two verdicts: a verdict is replaced when a holding, a listing, a break or the signed rule table changes, even where its words do not.

Caveats
- Holdings of different designated persons are not added together unless the shares are subject to a joint arrangement between them or one controls the rights of another.
- Control without the threshold stake is part of this test and cannot be read from a shareholder register, so an outcome short of the threshold does not mean the company is not controlled.
- 1 party in this chain is listed under a regime whose ownership rule has not been verified here, and was not counted: ELMEC TRADE OU (US Consolidated Screening List).
Texts the rule rests on
- OFSI, UK financial sanctions general guidance (updated 12 May 2026)
Section 4.1 (more than 50% of shares or voting rights, or control), 4.1.3 (a designated person owns what it owns jointly with another) and 4.1.4 (holdings of different designated persons not simply aggregated)
- The Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, Schedule 1
Paragraph 2 (each joint holder of a share is treated as holding that share), paragraph 3 (joint arrangements), paragraph 4 (more than 50% of share capital), paragraph 9 (indirect holding through a chain of majority stakes). Each UK regulation this test is applied under was read, and carries the same definition and rules.
