A public listing allows multiple shareholders. This profile identifies the corporate group; it does not imply a single individual owner or assign group financial results to the brand. AO's annual report discloses Frasers at 26.12% voting rights on 16 June 2026. This dated minority interest does not make AO a wholly owned Frasers business. [1][2][5]
Headquarters, incorporation and tax residence describe different things. A headquarters address does not tell you where all of a company’s tax is paid.

Selected investor disclosures have been found. Each names the held entity, basis and date; the complete investor register remains outside this review.
