Ownership test · UK ownership and control
No designated company found in the chain; the people in it are compared by name only
About Sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību "RAPIRA", assessed under LV number 40103322761.
First said on 25 Sept 2026, last confirmed on 24 Oct 2026. It is the current verdict under this rule. 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 18 Sept 2026 to 25 Sept 2026: “No designated company found in the chain; the people in it are compared by name only”
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.
Why it changed
It replaced “No designated company found in the chain; the people in it are compared by name only” because a list changed. The answer did not move; what it rests on did. Nobody was told: only a moved answer that a list or a holding moved is news.

What it says
No company listed under this regime holds any share of the company, anywhere in the chain the registers state. Natural persons hold one holding in the chain, including 50% of the company directly. The registers publish no identifier that confirms who they are, so they were compared with designated persons by name only, and a name written differently in a register and on a list is not found.
- Designated share
- None found
- Threshold
- more than 50%
- Chain
- Followed to its end
- Nearest designated party
- The company is itself designated.Found across every list on file, not only those this rule counts.
Notes
- Sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību "RAPIRA" holds 50% of itself. Own shares carry no owner to follow and are left out of the chain; percentages are not re-based around them.
- Natural-person holders are compared with designated persons by name only. A match is reported and never counted, because the registers publish no identifier that could confirm it.
The chain
Holdings the result passes through
None: no holding carries a designated party's share down to the company.
Holdings read
2 holdings were read in the chain: 1 held by a company and 1 by a holder not published as a company. Natural persons hold 1 of them, including 50% of the company directly. A verdict never keeps a person's name: a person appears in it as a holding of a stated share.

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: Sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību "RAPIRA" (Australia DFAT Consolidated List).
