 |  | Ownership information is being enhanced across our ... | June 14 2006 |  |
|
 |
 |
 |
| We are making a number of enhancements to the ownership data, which contains detailed information on companies’ shareholders and subsidiaries, and the links between them. |
 |
|
 |
| • Users can now determine their own definition of a company’s ultimate owner (UO), depending on whether they prefer to use a definition of a minimum of 25% of share ownership in a company to be a “controlling ownershipö, or would rather use an International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) standard of 50%. This flexibility in self-definition can be used throughout users’ searches and changed at any point. |
 |
| • A new category of Domestic Ultimate Owner (DUO) (which can now be distinguished from a Global Ultimate Owner (GUO)). Not only does this allow users to differentiate between companies’ domestic “parentsö and their global “parentsö, it also allows them to search and identify DUOs of specific sizes, in their choice of countries, as well as isolating companies with a DUO. |
 |
| • A new definition has been created, Immediate Owner. Incorporated into list formats this gives users a quick reference to the closest shareholder in the path between them and their UO. |
 |
| • Users can display the full ownership path, illustrating a company’s ownership route up to its UO. |
 |
|
 |
| Other recent enhancements include: |
 |
| • Historical ownership data so users can view a company’s ownership situation, according to BvDEP, at a specific point in the past. |
 |
| • An increased level of detail captured from INVIEW, an international share ownership database also co-published by BvDEP. Information is now included when an investment advisors own at least 0.1%, previously, it was 0.5%. |
 |
| • Two further definitions for the Independence Indicator, with four top level definitions now provided. The new definitions were included to help users immediately recognise and identify companies who are indirectly majority owned. |
 |
| • A calculated total percentage, which measures a company’s control over a company, over which its control is indirect, via intermediate subsidiaries. |
