Shareholders
Shareholders of Frontier Transport Holdings Limited
Frontier Transport Holdings Limited is a publicly listed company on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (ticker FTH, ISIN ZAE000300505), so its shareholder base is disclosed under JSE listing requirements rather than through a private CIPC beneficial-ownership filing. No complete, itemised shareholder register was located in the primary sources reviewed for this profile. Reputable financial-data providers covering JSE-listed companies (including stockanalysis.com and MarketScreener), reporting on the company’s public ownership disclosures, identify Hosken Consolidated Investments Limited (HCI) – a separately JSE-listed investment group – as the company’s majority shareholder. This is corroborated by Frontier Transport Holdings Limited’s own former registered name, Hosken Passenger Logistics and Rail Limited, used before the September 2021 rename. One data provider reported an approximate 82% holding attributed to HCI; this figure could not be independently verified against a primary SENS shareholding announcement or annual financial statements during this review and should be treated as indicative rather than confirmed. Remaining shares are reported by the same providers as widely held by institutional and retail investors, with no other single holder reported above roughly 3% of issued capital. Data reviewed as of September 2026.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No natural-person ultimate beneficial owner could be reliably identified for Frontier Transport Holdings Limited in the sources reviewed. As the reported majority shareholder, Hosken Consolidated Investments Limited, is itself a JSE-listed group with a dispersed shareholder base, tracing an individual UBO would require a further ownership-chain analysis of HCI itself, which was outside the scope of this review.
Data availability
Shareholder information for this company is Partial: the majority-shareholder relationship with Hosken Consolidated Investments Limited is corroborated by secondary financial-data sources and the company’s former name, but a complete, primary-source shareholder register and a verified exact percentage were not located.

Directors and officers of Frontier Transport Holdings Limited
Registry data on file lists three active officers for Frontier Transport Holdings Limited: Francois Eckhard Meyer (CEO and Executive Director), Mark Llewellyn Wilkin (CFO and Executive Director), and Ulandy Gribble (Interim Chief Financial Officer). No resigned or former officers are recorded in the data reviewed. Independent financial-data sources (stockanalysis.com) similarly list Francois Eckhard Meyer as Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director, and list Ulandy J. Gribble as Chief Financial Officer and Director, without the "interim" qualifier used in the on-file data; Mark Llewellyn Wilkin’s CFO role was not reflected in that same external source. This discrepancy is flagged as a possible CFO transition rather than resolved as fact, since no appointment or resignation dates are available in the sources reviewed to confirm which role assignment is current. Nationality is not disclosed for any of the three officers in the sources reviewed and should not be inferred from name, residence or address. No country-of-residence or correspondence-address detail beyond "South Africa" was confirmed for any officer.
Recent officer changes
No verified officer appointment, resignation or role-change date could be confirmed from the sources reviewed; a possible CFO transition (between Wilkin and Gribble, or a shared/interim arrangement) is suggested by discrepancies between data sets but could not be dated or confirmed.
Data availability
Officer information for this company is Partial: three officers are recorded, but appointment dates, resignation dates and nationality are not disclosed in the CIPC-sourced registry data or the corroborating sources reviewed, and the current CFO assignment could not be fully reconciled between sources.

Group Structure
Group structure of Frontier Transport Holdings Limited
Frontier Transport Holdings Limited is not presented here as an independent company: financial-data providers covering its JSE listing report Hosken Consolidated Investments Limited (HCI) as its majority shareholder, corroborated by the company’s own former registered name, Hosken Passenger Logistics and Rail Limited, used before its September 2021 rename. This is treated as a probable rather than fully verified immediate/ultimate parent relationship, since no primary SENS shareholding announcement or HCI annual-report extract was directly reviewed to confirm the exact holding. On the subsidiary side, the company’s own official website identifies Golden Arrow Bus Services as its principal, long-established investee (with an operating history dating to 1861), alongside further named investments in ElJoSa Travel and Tours, Sibanye Bus Services, Table Bay Area Rapid Transit, N2 Express, Shuttle Up, Alpine Truck and Bus, and Frontier Tyres. None of these relationships carry a disclosed ownership percentage in the sources reviewed, and none should be assumed to be wholly owned. The group’s operations are concentrated in South Africa, primarily the Western Cape. Data reviewed as of September 2026.
