Shareholders of Morae Global UK Limited
Per Companies House filings, Morae Global UK Limited has a single disclosed shareholder of record: Pinfotec Ltd (company number 10602959), a UK-registered limited company. Pinfotec Ltd holds three share classes – 7,864 ‘A Voting’ shares (97.51% of nominal share capital), 200 ‘B Non-Voting’ shares (2.48%), and 1 ‘C Non-Voting’ share (0.01%) – together representing effectively all issued share capital, per share-register data verified 22 September 2026. Companies House separately records Pinfotec Ltd as the company’s person with significant control (PSC), holding 75% or more of shares and voting rights, notified 6 April 2017. A prior PSC, Mr Roger Kenneth Pickett (British, shareholding of more than 25% but not more than 50%), ceased on 6 April 2017 when Pinfotec Ltd’s control was registered. Disclosure is Full: the direct shareholder and PSC data are published and dated.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Pinfotec Ltd is itself disclosed by Companies House as controlled by Mr Richard De Silva (American national, resident in the United States), who holds more than 50% but less than 75% of Pinfotec Ltd’s shares and voting rights and has the right to appoint or remove directors, notified 2 November 2023. Mr De Silva is the founder and managing partner of Lateral Investment Management LLC, which co-invested in Morae Global Corporation alongside Easterly Asset Management in 2023. Combining Pinfotec Ltd’s PSC-level holding in Morae Global UK Limited (75%+) with Mr De Silva’s PSC-level holding in Pinfotec Ltd (50-75%) indicates Mr De Silva holds an indirect controlling interest in Morae Global UK Limited; an exact effective percentage cannot be calculated because Companies House discloses only statutory bands rather than precise percentages at either level, so this is a calculated indirect control relationship, not a precise figure. Before 2 November 2023, Pinfotec Ltd’s PSC was recorded as Morae Global Corporation (Delaware, USA), notified 30 April 2019 and ceased 2 November 2023.
Data availability
Shareholder and PSC information for UK-registered private companies, including Morae Global UK Limited and its immediate parent Pinfotec Ltd, is publicly disclosed via Companies House and is treated as Full at the direct shareholder/PSC level, though PSC percentages are reported in statutory bands rather than exact figures.
