Shareholders of XODUS GROUP LIMITED
Who owns XODUS GROUP LIMITED? It has one disclosed shareholder: Xodus Group (Holdings) Limited, a Scottish private company with Companies House number SC377287. The confirmation statement made up to 20 June 2022 is the latest one that lists shareholders. It shows that company holding 8,700,001 Ordinary shares and 35,025 B Ordinary shares. Note 16 of the 2025 accounts gives the allotted, called-up and fully paid share capital as 8,700,001 Ordinary shares and 35,025 B Ordinary shares, all of £1 each, so the holding company owns every issued share. The confirmation statements made each June from 2023 to 2026 were all filed with no updates.
Both share classes carry full voting rights and rank equally for dividends. On a winding-up or a capital reduction, holders of B Ordinary shares are repaid £4.28 per share before anything is paid on the Ordinary shares. The two rows in the shareholder table on this page are those two share classes held by the same company. They do not represent two separate shareholders.
The register of persons with significant control (PSC) names Xodus Group Holdings Limited (SC377287) as the company’s only registrable relevant legal entity, notified on 6 April 2016. It is registered for ownership of 75% or more of the shares, 75% or more of the voting rights and the right to appoint or remove directors. The 2025 accounts name Xodus Group (Holdings) Limited as the immediate parent company.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No natural person is registered as a person with significant control of XODUS GROUP LIMITED. The same is true at each UK level above it: Xodus Group (Holdings) Limited (SC377287) and Subsea 7 International Holdings (UK) Limited (09201671). Each of these has a single active PSC, and that PSC is a company. The 2025 accounts name Subsea 7 S.A. of Luxembourg as the ultimate parent company. They say that its common shares trade on the Oslo Børs and as American Depositary Receipts over the counter in the USA, and that Subsea 7 S.A. “is not considered to have a controlling party”. For that reason no UBO of XODUS GROUP LIMITED is named. The PSC entries give only bands, not exact stakes, so no effective percentage is calculated here.
Data availability
Availability: full for the direct shareholder. For a non-traded UK company, confirmation statements list the shareholders, and the PSC register is public. Above the UK chain, ownership goes into a listed Luxembourg parent. The accounts say that parent has no controlling party.
