CVC CAPITAL PARTNERS PLC

CVC Capital Partners plc is listed on Euronext Amsterdam, so its share register is disclosed only for holders whose interest crosses a notifiable threshold under Dutch securities-disclosure rules, rather than as a complete shareholder list. At Admission on 26 April 2024, the company’s own listing announcement disclosed the holders expected to have a notifiable interest immediately following settlement of the offering, out of 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares then in issue: Blue Owl GPSC funds (managed by Blue Owl’s GP Stakes/Solutions Capital business) with 9.4% in aggregate; co-founder Donald Mackenzie with 5.6%; co-founder and Chairman Rolly van Rappard with 6.7%; Danube Investment Pte. Ltd., a nominated vehicle of Singapore’s GIC Special Investments, with 2.3%; the Kuwait Investment Authority with 3.5%; Stratosphere Finance Company Limited, a vehicle of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s Exchange Fund, with 3.0%; co-founder Steve Koltes with 4.1%; Chief Executive Officer Rob Lucas with 3.6%; and Managing Partner Javier de Jaime Guijarro with 3.5%. Collectively, current and former CVC employees and partners (the “Management Shareholders”) held an indirect interest, via Vision 2013 PCC and/or shares held on their behalf by CVC Nominees Limited, representing 68.7% of issued share capital immediately following settlement.

Separately, on-file registry data synced to this profile and dated 2 August 2026 records three institutional asset managers as shareholders: T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. – T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund with approximately 13.33%; Capital World Growth and Income Fund with approximately 11.45%; and a fund recorded as “Intl Growth & Income Fd.” with approximately 4.02%. These figures could not be independently corroborated against a primary AFM substantial-holdings filing during this review and are presented as on file rather than independently verified. The on-file record also classifies “Intl Growth & Income Fd.” as a “Person” shareholder type, which appears to be a data-entry error given that this is an investment fund, not a natural person; this is flagged as a data-quality issue rather than corrected outright.

Ultimate beneficial ownership

No single natural person has been identified as an ultimate beneficial owner of CVC Capital Partners plc. Since the company’s Euronext Amsterdam listing on 30 April 2024, CVC’s Annual Report states the group has had no ultimate controlling parent, and the founder/employee shareholding disclosed at Admission was held collectively through a pooled vehicle (Vision 2013 PCC / CVC Nominees Limited) rather than by any individual crossing a UBO-defining threshold alone; the largest individually disclosed personal stake at Admission was Rolly van Rappard’s 6.7%.

Data availability

Shareholder information for CVC Capital Partners plc is classified as Major shareholders only: as a listed company, only holders whose interest crosses a Dutch statutory disclosure threshold are identifiable, and the underlying free-float shareholder base is not publicly itemised. The Admission-date disclosure (26 April 2024) is now over two years old and holdings will have moved through subsequent share sales, lock-up expiries and market purchases; the on-file institutional holdings (T. Rowe Price, Capital Group funds) dated 2 August 2026 are more recent but were not independently corroborated against a primary regulatory filing in this review.

The on-file registry data synced to this profile lists 5 officer records for CVC Capital Partners plc, all marked active with no resignation dates: Rolly Rappard (Co-founder, Chairman, Managing Partner & Co-Head of Global Investments), Robert R. Lucas (Managing Partner, Head of UK Investments & CEO), Walid Damou (Managing Director), Carmen Andre (Director of Corporate Administration) and Matthew Green (CTO & Global Head of IT). No appointment dates are recorded for any of the five, and nationality is not disclosed for any of them; all five list Jersey as their correspondence address country, which is a service address rather than evidence of residence or nationality.

Data-quality note

Cross-checking this on-file snapshot against CVC’s official corporate governance webpage (retrieved during this research) found only two names in common – Rolly van Rappard (Chair) and Rob Lucas (Chief Executive Officer). The officially published Board also currently includes John Hourican (Chief Financial Officer), Baroness Rona Fairhead CBE, Catherine Keating and Dr. Mark Machin as independent Non-Executive Directors, and Carla Smits-Nusteling as an independent Non-Executive Director – none of whom appear in the on-file registry data. Conversely, Walid Damou, Carmen Andre and Matthew Green do not appear among the officially published Board members; they may hold Jersey-registered statutory-director or corporate-administration roles distinct from the investor-facing Board, but this could not be independently confirmed in this review. The company’s FY2025 statutory financial statements were signed on 10 March 2026 by Fred Watt as “Director”, a further name absent from both the on-file snapshot and the current Board webpage; CVC’s own announcements clarify that Fred Watt was the company’s outgoing Chief Financial Officer, who retired after almost 20 years with the firm when John Hourican succeeded him effective 1 September 2026. Taken together, this indicates the on-file officer registry snapshot is materially incomplete and out of date relative to CVC Capital Partners plc’s current statutory Board, and its source and sync date should be reviewed.

Recent officer changes

• John Hourican was appointed Chief Financial Officer and joined the Board effective 1 September 2026, succeeding Fred Watt, who retired from the role (announced 12 May 2026, CVC Capital Partners plc official announcement).
• Catherine Keating was appointed an independent Non-Executive Director effective 1 January 2026, chairing the Risk Committee and joining the Audit, Nomination and Remuneration Committees (announced 14 November 2025, CVC Capital Partners plc official announcement).

Data availability

Officer information for CVC Capital Partners plc is classified as Partial: the on-file registry snapshot covers only 5 individuals with no appointment or resignation dates and does not reflect several current Board members confirmed on the company’s own website, while nationality is not disclosed for any officer in either source. Jersey’s companies registry does not itself publish officer nationality.

CVC Capital Partners plc has no parent company. Its Annual Report and Accounts 2025 states that until 30 April 2024 the group’s ultimate parent and controlling party was an entity referred to as “the SIF”; as a result of the group’s listing on Euronext Amsterdam, the group has had no ultimate controlling parent since that date. CVC Capital Partners plc is instead the top consolidating entity of a large group of wholly and partly owned subsidiaries, general-partner vehicles and structured fund entities spanning Jersey, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, the United States and other jurisdictions, the majority of which are investment-advisory, fund-management or general-partner companies supporting the group’s private equity, credit, secondaries and infrastructure strategies. The Annual Report’s Note 31 (Group information) lists well over one hundred such entities as at 31 December 2025; a representative, non-exhaustive selection of the principal ones is set out below, rather than the full note.

Verified corporate relationships

Registration numbers for the individual subsidiary entities were not stated in the Annual Report note reviewed and are not repeated here from unverified aggregator sources.

Recent structural changes

• On 26 January 2026, CVC agreed to acquire 100% of Marathon Asset Management for consideration of up to $1.2 billion; the transaction had not completed as at the date of this review and remains subject to regulatory change-of-control approval and a pre-closing reorganisation of the Marathon group (CVC Annual Report and Accounts 2025, Note 33, Subsequent events).
• During the year ended 31 December 2025, CVC incorporated several new Jersey holding and general-partner entities, including CVC 2020 Investments II Limited (26 September 2025) and CVC Secondaries Investments Limited (12 August 2025), as part of its ongoing fund and platform structuring (CVC Annual Report and Accounts 2025, Note 31).

Data availability

Group-structure information for CVC Capital Partners plc is classified as Partial: the absence of an ultimate parent since the April 2024 listing is confirmed directly in the company’s audited Annual Report, and a long list of material subsidiaries is disclosed in the same source, but individual subsidiary registration numbers are not stated there, and the on-file corporate-structure data synced to this profile does not reflect CVC’s real group at all (see data-quality note below).

Data-quality note

The on-file “gd_groups” corporate-structure data currently attached to this profile depicts a large multi-country corporate tree headed by “Euroclear Holding” (Belgium) and its subsidiaries (Euroclear Bank, Euroclear UK & International, CREST-related nominee companies, etc.). Euroclear is an unrelated financial-market-infrastructure and securities-settlement group with no verified corporate link to CVC Capital Partners plc; this appears to be a data-linking error in the synced registry (most plausibly a mix-up with the share-settlement/depository infrastructure used for CVC’s Euronext-listed shares, rather than CVC’s own group). This on-file data should not be treated as CVC Capital Partners plc’s group structure and is recommended for correction at source.
