Northwest Bancshares, Inc. is a Public Limited Company registered in United States, and its current status with Ohio Secretary of State is active. Its registered address on file is Columbus, United States. 3 shareholders are on record for Northwest Bancshares, Inc., 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 Ohio Secretary of State and was last updated on 24 September 2026.

Shareholders

3

Shareholders of Northwest Bancshares, Inc.

Three shareholders are currently on record for Northwest Bancshares, Inc., reflecting the stock ledger maintained under state corporate law (e.g. §219 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) rather than a public filing. The largest of these is DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC-U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio, holding 1.8% — the largest recorded stake — followed by Fidelity Salem Street Trust-Fidelity Small Cap Index Fund at 1.4%; the remaining 1 shareholder shown holds smaller stakes. Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Those 10 subsidiaries span United States jurisdiction, 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. One of the 10 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
