    By way of example, if the Company is 100% owned by HoldCo, any person that is a Beneficial Owner of Holdco must be listed, either through ownership of interests in HoldCo or the exercise of Substantial Control over HoldCo. However, if the Company is 50% owned by HoldCo and Person A owns 25% of HoldCo, the ownership interest in the Company by Person A is calculated by multiplying 50% by 25% to yield a 12.5% ownership interest in the Company, meaning Person A need not be listed as a Beneficial Owner.5

    If an owner has applied for and received a FinCEN ID, please enter only thier name and FinCEN ID. If they have not, please list all information requested.
