PLATINUM TOPCO LIMITED is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales under registration number 10340885 on 22 August 2016. Companies House currently records it as in liquidation. Its filed information describes an investment-holding entity; the registry activity code is SIC 82990, other business support service activities not elsewhere classified.

The distinction between that legal entity and an operating software business matters. The company-level disclosures in its annual report for the year ended 31 December 2024 state that no employees are paid through PLATINUM TOPCO LIMITED and that the company holds no tangible fixed assets. The company-level accounts therefore describe an entity without a directly paid workforce or tangible operating assets.

PLATINUM TOPCO LIMITED entered members’ voluntary liquidation on 14 May 2026. The official insolvency record also dates its declaration of solvency to 14 May 2026. Liquidation is not dissolution, and this filing should not be described as a creditors’ voluntary liquidation or as evidence of insolvency.

The registered office changed on 4 June 2026 to care of Interpath Ltd, 10 Fleet Place, London, EC4M 7RB. This is an official correspondence location during the liquidation, without a separately verified headquarters designation. The last accounts listed on the registry are for 31 December 2024; the registry displays the accounts for 31 December 2025 as overdue.

A separately identified company-level turnover figure is not provided here. The available evidence does not establish a company-specific customer base or a current product and service offering. The record should be read as a dated legal-entity profile, with the 2026 liquidation taking precedence over assumptions about continuing ordinary commercial operations.

Shareholders of PLATINUM TOPCO LIMITED

The confirmation statement dated 9 July 2025 contains 161 numbered shareholding entries across multiple classes; these are holdings, not 161 distinct shareholders. It identifies Accel-KKR Capital Partners V, LP, Accel-KKR Capital Partners V Strategic Fund, LP, Accel-KKR Members Funds, LLC and AKKR SC Aggregator, LP among the corporate holders.

Fund V held 98,821,049 A ordinary shares out of 128,953,963 issued in that class, calculated as approximately 76.63% of A ordinary shares. That is not its percentage of all share capital. The filed rights give A ordinary shares voting rights while preference shares and the other reviewed ordinary classes do not have the same voting rights. A single percentage based on mixed-class share counts would misstate control.

This is historical ownership evidence. Later 2025 capital changes and the SH02 effective 10 October 2025 include preference-share redemptions; the July cap table cannot be labelled current as at October 2026.

Ultimate beneficial ownership

The current PSC register names Thomas Christopher Barnds and Robert Anthony Palumbo, both notified on 22 August 2016, under significant influence or control. That limb identifies controllers without publishing personal shareholding percentages; no personal equity percentage or calculated indirect stake is assigned.

Data availability

Availability is historical for the reviewed cap table and partial for current equity ownership. Exact current holdings after the capital reorganisation were not reconstructed; PSC control disclosure is kept separate from shareholder ownership.

These fields are not inferred from their correspondence addresses.

Recent officer changes

The insolvency record separately names Nicholas James Timpson and Joyce Eleanor Thomson as practitioners appointed on 14 May 2026; liquidator appointments are distinct from the officer-register directorships.

Full for the eight appointments disclosed in the reviewed register. Active register status records an appointment without an end date; in a liquidation it does not establish ordinary management powers or individual signing authority.

Group Structure

Group structure of PLATINUM TOPCO LIMITED

The FY2024 accounts identify Accel-KKR Capital Partners V, LP as the controlling party. They identify AKKR Fund II Management Company, LP as that fund’s investment adviser, not as the direct shareholder. The company is not included in the consolidated financial statements of another group according to note 30; that accounting statement does not establish independence from the fund.

Note 15 supplies a specific directness test: Platinum Midco 2 Limited is owned directly and every other listed undertaking is owned indirectly, with 100% ordinary-share holdings at 31 December 2024. These are dated relationships; current continuation after the 2025 capital changes and 2026 liquidation is not established by the 2024 schedule.

Verified corporate relationships

Entity Country Registration number Relationship Ownership Status Information date
Accel-KKR Capital Partners V, LP United States Not verified in the cited ownership documents Controlling fund; direct A ordinary shareholder 98,821,049 A ordinary shares at July 2025; no all-class percentage asserted Relationship disclosed historically 31 December 2024 accounts; 9 July 2025 shareholder filing

Recent structural changes

The capital-reorganisation filing effective 10 October 2025 records preference-share redemptions. Members’ voluntary liquidation commenced on 14 May 2026. Neither event alone proves that the historical subsidiary chain remains intact or identifies a current replacement parent.

Data availability

The filed accounts establish direct and indirect relationships at their reporting date. The broader stored fund portfolio is not published as a verified corporate group, and no complete post-reorganisation ownership chain is asserted.
