ABBVIE LTD
ABBVIE LTD is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 08004972, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 23 March 2012 and lists its registered address as Maidenhead, United Kingdom. 3 shareholders are on record for ABBVIE LTD, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Companies House and was last updated on 16 October 2026.

Shareholders
3
Three shareholders are currently on record for ABBVIE LTD, held on the Confirmation Statement (CS01), filed under the Companies Act 2006.
The largest of these is ABBVIE BAHAMAS LTD, holding 81.7% — a majority holding — followed by APTALIS HOLDINGS BV at 16%; the remaining 1 shareholder shown holds smaller stakes.
Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Officers
5
Four of the 5 officer records shown for ABBVIE LTD are current appointments, filed with Companies House. Alice Butler (appointed 2019-09-01), Djamshid Ghavami (appointed 2022-04-01), Scott Reents (appointed 2022-10-24) and Kelly Schrems (appointed 2026-06-17) all serve as Director. The remaining 1 record shown (Stephen Hopkinson) is a former appointment that has since been resigned.
The register reports 15 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.
Management authority at ABBVIE LTD sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control.
The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.
Group Structure
ABBVIE LTD sits 2 levels below its ultimate parent, Abbvie Inc., registered in United States. 2 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. The full chain up to Abbvie Inc. is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by ABBVIE LTD's own shareholder record. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.
Those 2 subsidiaries span United Kingdom jurisdiction, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. One of the 2 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
