BAE SYSTEMS PLC
BAE SYSTEMS PLC is a Public Limited Company registered in United Kingdom under 01470151, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 31 December 1979 and lists its registered address as London, United Kingdom. 2 shareholders are on record for BAE SYSTEMS PLC, 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 11 August 2026.

Shareholders
2
Two shareholders are currently on record for BAE SYSTEMS PLC, held on the Confirmation Statement (CS01), filed under the Companies Act 2006.
The largest of these is Income Fund of America, holding 19.1% — the largest recorded stake — followed by EuroPacific Growth Fund-EUPAC Fund at 6.7%.
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.

The Director of BAE SYSTEMS PLC on record is Robert Kirk; 5 officers are shown here, filed with Companies House.
The register reports 91 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.
Management authority at BAE SYSTEMS PLC 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
BAE SYSTEMS PLC has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 40 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 10 jurisdictions. 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 40 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, United States, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Canada, Qatar, and 4 more jurisdictions, 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. Five of the 40 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
