Group Structure

BIRMINGHAM CITY LIMITED sits 3 levels below its ultimate parent, Apollo Global Management, Inc., registered in United States. 1 subsidiary is recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. Immediately above BIRMINGHAM CITY LIMITED is SHELBY COMPANIES LIMITED, holding 46% as filed in BIRMINGHAM CITY LIMITED's own shareholder record with Companies House. Apollo Global Management, Inc. sits further up the chain, a link derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions rather than stated in a single document. 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 1 subsidiary spans 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 1 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
