THE CATO CORPORATION is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United States under 404602, and its current status with Mississippi Secretary of State is active. The company was incorporated on 28 October 1970 and lists its registered address as CHARLOTTE, United States. 5 shareholders are on record for THE CATO CORPORATION, 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 Mississippi Secretary of State and was last updated on 30 September 2026.

Shareholders

5

Five shareholders are currently on record for THE CATO CORPORATION, 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 Aldebaran Capital, LLC , holding 7.9% — the largest recorded stake — followed by Peapod Lane Capital LLC at 5%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes.

The register reports 12 shareholders in total, though only the top 5 by holding are shown in this view.

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.

Officers

5

The Ceo of THE CATO CORPORATION currently on record is CATO JOHN; five officers are currently on record for THE CATO CORPORATION, filed with Mississippi Secretary of State.

The register reports 12 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.

Management authority at THE CATO CORPORATION sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control.

The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.

Group Structure

THE CATO CORPORATION has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 17 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 2 jurisdictions. 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 17 subsidiaries span United States, Hong Kong 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. One of the 17 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
