Ownership test · UK ownership and control
No designated holder found where the chain could be followed; it breaks at 2 points
About ARENA Sp. z o.o., assessed under PL number 0000174233.
First said on 18 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.
What it says
No party listed under this regime was found on the part of the chain that could be followed. The chain breaks at 2 points, and past a break nothing is known. Natural persons hold 2 holdings in the chain, including 100% of the company directly. The register publishes their names masked, so none of them was compared with any designated person.
- Designated share
- None found
- Threshold
- more than 50%
- Chain
- Breaks at 2 points
- Nearest designated party
- The company is itself designated.Found across every list on file, not only those this rule counts.
Notes
- 2 natural-person holdings are published with a masked name and were compared with nobody.
- 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, none of them held by a company. Natural persons hold 2 of them, including 100% of the company directly. 2 are published with the name masked. 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: ARENA Sp. z o.o. (Poland MSWiA sanctions list).
