GLAXOSMITHKLINE FINANCE PLC is a Public Limited Company registered in United Kingdom under 00242686, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 2 October 1929 and lists its registered address as London, United Kingdom. 1 shareholder is on record for GLAXOSMITHKLINE FINANCE PLC, 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. This profile is sourced directly from Companies House and was last updated on 17 October 2026.

The register reports 21 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.

Group Structure

GLAXOSMITHKLINE FINANCE PLC sits 2 levels below its ultimate parent, GSK PLC, registered in United Kingdom. 10 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 5 jurisdictions. Immediately above GLAXOSMITHKLINE FINANCE PLC is GLAXOSMITHKLINE HOLDINGS LIMITED, holding 100% as filed in GLAXOSMITHKLINE FINANCE PLC's own shareholder record with Companies House. GSK PLC sits further up the chain, a link derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions rather than stated in a single document. 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 10 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, Algeria, Netherlands, United States, Morocco jurisdictions, 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. Six of the 10 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
