No designated company found in the chain; the people in it are compared by name only

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.

• Listed now: Sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību "RAPIRA" on Australia DFAT Consolidated List (Australia DFAT, Autonomous (Russia))

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.

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.

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.

Several designated owners

The texts read do not say. Each party is taken alone, and a result reached only by adding them goes to a reviewer.

A jointly held share

The texts read do not settle it, so a result that rests on one goes to a reviewer.

Not assessed. A shareholder register shows shares, not board seats or agreements.

Caveats

• The company is not listed itself. The Act deems what a company controlled by a listed person owns to be owned by that person, so dealing in the company's property is dealing in the listed person's.
• The Act speaks of a person holding 50% or more. Neither the Act nor the guidance of Global Affairs Canada says whether the holdings of different listed persons are added together, so a result reached only by adding them goes to a reviewer.
• Global Affairs Canada's guidance, which it says is general information and not legal advice, reads control widely: considerable influence over a company's strategic decisions is enough, and in one of its scenarios so is a listed person on the board of a company's owner.
• The Act counts holdings held directly or indirectly, and deems what a controlled company owns, its own holdings included, to be the listed person's in full.
• 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).

Texts the rule rests on

• Special Economic Measures Act, S.C. 1992, c. 17, section 2.1 (added by S.C. 2023, c. 26, s. 253)

Subsection 2.1(2): the person controls the entity if (a) it holds, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the shares or ownership interests or of the voting rights, (b) it can change the composition or powers of the board, or (c) it can direct the entity's activities by any means
