Shareholders of CANNES TOPCO LTD
The full confirmation statement effective 8 May 2026 contains 71 shareholding allocations across multiple classes, rather than 71 distinct owners. Red Rose S.a r.l. is recorded with 1,202,016 A ordinary shares, 149,352,987 A preference shares and 18,500,000 S preference shares. SR Consulting & Design Limited holds the remaining 2,135 A ordinary shares. The A ordinary class totals 1,204,151 shares, making Red Rose’s holding 99.8227% of that class, calculated from the filed quantities.
The A ordinary class carries 75% of the company’s voting rights; C1–C5 classes carry 5% each. B ordinary, C6, C7, ratchet and preference shares are non-voting. Consequently, aggregate nominal share value or an unweighted count across classes is not a measure of voting control. The statement records the company itself holding C4 and C5 shares, and includes one zero-holding historical allocation.
Data availability
Full class-level member and capital disclosure as at 8 May 2026; headline all-company ownership percentages are not inferred across these unequal classes. FY2025 note 32 identifies Vitruvian Partners LLP as ultimate controlling party managing funds holding 74.9% of issued equity. The PSC register separately reports 75%-or-more share and voting bands from 31 May 2018; these differ in date and measurement and are preserved separately. No natural-person UBO is identified by this disclosure.

Group Structure
Group structure of CANNES TOPCO LTD
The FY2025 accounts identify Cannes Midco Ltd as the sole directly held subsidiary, with 100% company holding at 31 October 2025. Note 16 lists 25 subsidiary undertakings in total across ten jurisdictions, comprising this direct holding and 24 indirectly held undertakings. The consolidated activities include technology and travel content services for independent travel businesses under the Travel Counsellors brand, travel agency operations and holding entities.
The investment schedule distinguishes company holding from group holding. In particular, the South African Travel Counsellors Proprietary Limited is shown at 77%, TC BEECo Proprietary Limited at 24%, and the UAE Travel Counsellors LLC at 49%. The filing explains that control supports consolidation of the latter two despite minority holdings. Note 32 identifies Vitruvian Partners LLP as ultimate controlling party; the immediate-parent chain is not established solely from that control statement or the separate PSC entry.

Recent structural changes
On 1 January 2026, the accounting group completed the purchase of 100% of the equity share capital of Canada-incorporated The Travel Agent Next Door Inc. for £49.7 million, disclosed in subsequent-events note 33. This event is later than the FY2025 subsidiary schedule and is not treated as a direct acquisition by Cannes Topco Ltd without an identified acquiring entity.
Data availability
Partial: the accounts supply one direct and 24 indirect subsidiary holdings with percentages, but do not map each intervening ownership link or supply registration identifiers for all overseas undertakings. The table shows verified registered entities; minority-controlled entities and the later Canadian acquisition are explained separately.
