AO Limited’s own persons-with-significant-control filing at Companies House names AO World plc (company number 05525751) as holding 75% or more of AO Limited’s shares and voting rights, notified 2 June 2016. AO World plc is a public company listed on the London Stock Exchange (ticker: AO.), so its own share register is dispersed among public investors rather than a single identifiable person. No natural-person ultimate beneficial owner has been identified for EXPERT LOGISTICS LTD. through this ownership chain, and because both disclosed links are recorded only as statutory bands (“75% or more”) rather than exact figures, no calculated effective percentage is presented.
