Shareholders of COOPERVISION MANUFACTURING LIMITED

Companies House’s persons-with-significant-control register for COOPERVISION MANUFACTURING LIMITED (company number 02737396) shows one active controlling entity, notified 31 October 2025: CooperVision International Limited (company number 12210296, England and Wales), recorded with “ownership of shares – 75% or more”, “ownership of voting rights – 75% or more” and the right to appoint or remove directors. This entity replaced the company’s previous controlling shareholder, CooperVision (UK) Holdings Limited (company number 09037039), whose control ceased on 31 October 2025 after being notified since 6 April 2016. Companies House discloses only a percentage band, not an exact holding, for the current controller. Separate company shareholder data associated with this profile, verified 10 August 2026, still records CooperVision (UK) Holdings Limited as sole holder of 24,857,124 ordinary £1.00 shares (100% of issued capital); given the confirmed Companies House filing of a change of control effective 31 October 2025, this earlier shareholder record should be treated as superseded rather than current.

Data availability

Classification: Partial. Companies House confirms the current controlling entity by name and registration number but discloses only a shareholding band (75% or more) rather than an exact percentage, and that entity is a corporate relevant legal entity rather than a natural person. No natural-person ultimate beneficial owner is publicly identifiable from UK filings; the ownership chain is associated with The Cooper Companies, Inc., a Nasdaq-listed public company (ticker: COO), whose shareholder base is dispersed among public investors.

Group Structure

Group structure of COOPERVISION MANUFACTURING LIMITED

COOPERVISION MANUFACTURING LIMITED is not an independent company. Companies House’s persons-with-significant-control register confirms that its immediate parent is CooperVision International Limited (company number 12210296, England and Wales, active), which holds 75% or more of its shares and voting rights and has the right to appoint or remove directors, effective from 31 October 2025, having replaced the previously notified controller, CooperVision (UK) Holdings Limited (company number 09037039). A 2020 Exhibit 21 subsidiary list filed by The Cooper Companies, Inc. with the US Securities and Exchange Commission names “Coopervision Manufacturing Limited, United Kingdom” among its subsidiaries, and Cooper’s own public reporting describes CooperVision as one of its two operating business units; on this basis The Cooper Companies, Inc. (a Delaware corporation listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under ticker COO) is treated as the ultimate parent, though the precise intermediate ownership chain between CooperVision International Limited and The Cooper Companies, Inc. was not independently verified in this research. No subsidiaries of COOPERVISION MANUFACTURING LIMITED itself were identified. Group information reviewed 9 September 2026.
