CARLTON INVESTMENTS LTD

Disclosure of Carlton Investments Limited’s shareholder base is Partial for the purposes of this review. Australia’s company registrar (ASIC) does not itself publish a complete, continuously updated shareholder register for public inspection, and the primary sources that would normally anchor this section — Carlton Investments Limited’s ASX-lodged substantial-holder notices and its most recent annual report top-holder table — could not be directly retrieved during this research because the company’s own website and several ASX document mirrors were unreachable from the research environment. The percentages below are therefore drawn from aggregated market-data services that themselves reference ASX filings and the share register, rather than from a primary filing opened directly, and no single as-at date could be confirmed for the full set of figures.

On ordinary (common) shares, the largest reported holder is Non-Executive Chairman Alan Rydge, with approximately 61.06% (reported as 16,084,540 shares) — a majority direct holding. Other reported ordinary shareholders include Washington H. Soul Pattinson and Company Limited, through WHSP Holdings Limited, at approximately 1.758%; Charles Goode at approximately 1.519%; T. N. Phillips at approximately 0.930%; and Somoke Pty Ltd at approximately 0.862%. On the separate class of 7% cumulative preference shares, the largest reported holders are EVT Limited at approximately 45.72%, I. E. and D. L. Morton at approximately 15.45%, and Wilcorp No. 41 Pty Ltd at approximately 7.243%. All of these are direct holdings as reported; no indirect ownership chains were identified in the sources reviewed.

Ultimate beneficial ownership

Alan Rydge’s reported direct holding of approximately 61.06% of ordinary shares would, if confirmed against a primary filing, identify him as Carlton Investments Limited’s ultimate beneficial owner on a look-through basis. However, because this percentage is sourced from an aggregated market-data service rather than from a primary ASX substantial-holder notice or annual report register opened directly during this research, it is presented here as a reported figure requiring independent verification rather than a confirmed UBO determination.

Data availability

Shareholder information for Carlton Investments Limited is available only in aggregated, secondary form for this review; Australia’s ASX substantial-holder regime requires disclosure only above a 5% threshold, so smaller holdings (and the WHSP Holdings Limited stake, which sits below that threshold) are not independently confirmable through a substantial-holder notice and instead rely on register-based market-data reporting of uncertain currency.

Carlton Investments Limited’s own ASX filings and annual reports were consulted for identification purposes but could not be opened directly during this research.

Officer disclosure for Carlton Investments Limited is Partial for this review. Aggregated market-data sources report three current board members and one senior officer: Alan Rydge, Non-Executive Chairman, a director since 1979; Murray Bleach, Non-Executive Director since December 2014; and Gregory J. Robertson, Independent Non-Executive Director since May 2022. Andrew Carter is reported as Company Secretary and Chief Financial Officer, a combined role reported as held since August 2023. No formal resignations were identified for any of these individuals in the sources reviewed, and exact appointment dates beyond the year given could not be confirmed against a primary ASX notice.

Nationality is not disclosed for any of Carlton Investments Limited’s directors or officers in the sources reviewed. Country of residence is likewise not disclosed. Where an Australian correspondence address appears against an officer in the underlying registry data, this reflects a service or correspondence address only and does not indicate that officer’s nationality or country of residence.

Recent officer changes

Gregory J. Robertson’s appointment as an Independent Non-Executive Director, reported as effective May 2022, and Andrew Carter’s appointment as Company Secretary and Chief Financial Officer, reported as effective August 2023, are the two most recent changes identified in the sources reviewed. No removal, termination or further resignation was identified.

Data availability

The underlying registry data on file for this company lists three officer records — two of which (“Andrew Carter” and “Andrew P. Carter”) share an identical job title, status and address country and appear to duplicate the same individual, and a third (“Peter W. Horton”) also shown as an active Chief Financial Officer alongside Andrew Carter, with no appointment or resignation date recorded for any of the three. A company does not typically carry two concurrently active chief financial officers, and independent market-data sources identify Andrew Carter alone as the current Company Secretary and CFO since August 2023; this pattern indicates the on-file officer data is stale, duplicated or otherwise unreconciled rather than reflecting three simultaneously active officers, and it does not include Carlton Investments Limited’s actual current directors (Rydge, Bleach and Robertson) at all. This should be corrected against a primary ASIC or ASX source.

A primary ASIC company extract and Carlton Investments Limited’s own ASX-filed annual report could not be opened directly during this research.

Carlton Investments Limited is an independent, ASX-listed investment holding company; no parent company has been identified for it in the sources reviewed. Its own reported corporate history identifies two entities it has controlled since shortly after its 1928 incorporation: The Manly Hotels Pty Limited and Eneber Investment Company Limited, both Australian companies, consistent with the on-file registry data for this company. A third entity from the same period, Carlton Hotel Limited, is referenced in Carlton Investments Limited’s own published history as an early controlled entity, but its current status could not be confirmed in the sources reviewed and it is treated here as historical only.

Separately, aggregated market-data sources report a reciprocal minority shareholding between Carlton Investments Limited and Washington H. Soul Pattinson and Company Limited (WHSP): WHSP is reported to hold approximately 1.76% of Carlton Investments Limited’s ordinary shares, and Carlton Investments Limited’s own investment portfolio is reported to separately include a holding in WHSP shares. Neither stake approaches a level of control, no shared directors between the two companies were identified in the sources reviewed, and no official filing was located establishing a parent, subsidiary or affiliate relationship between them. This is presented as a possible relationship in the form of an investment cross-holding between two independently controlled ASX-listed investment companies, not as a corporate group link, and portfolio holdings of this kind are investments rather than subsidiaries.

Verified corporate relationships

Data availability

Corporate-linkage information for Carlton Investments Limited is Partial. The two historically controlled entities are corroborated by the company’s own published history and by on-file registry data, but current ownership percentages and the most recent confirmation of control could not be verified against a primary ASX-filed annual report or ASIC extract during this research, as the company’s website and ASX document mirrors could not be reached. The WHSP cross-holding is reported only through aggregated market-data sources and has not been corroborated against a primary substantial-holder notice.
