The company was incorporated on 9 March 2000 and lists its registered address as WASHINGTON, United States. 5 shareholders are on record for COGENT COMMUNICATIONS, LLC, 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.

Shareholders

5

Five shareholders are currently on record for COGENT COMMUNICATIONS, LLC, reflecting the stock ledger maintained under state corporate law (e.g. §219 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) rather than a public filing.

The largest of these is Vanguard Group Inc, holding 14.5% — the largest recorded stake — followed by iShares Trust-iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF at 7.4%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes.

The register reports 7 shareholders in total, though only the top 5 by holding are shown in this view.

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.

Group Structure

COGENT COMMUNICATIONS, LLC sits 1 level below its ultimate parent, Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc., registered in United States. 1 subsidiary is recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. The full chain up to Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc. is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by COGENT COMMUNICATIONS, LLC'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 1 subsidiary spans United States 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.
