Can I take another company as a subsidiary without holding shares? Do you have to reach 50% of the shares?

There is only the concept of control between companies. Under normal circumstances, the control relationship is determined according to the equity ratio. For example, if Company A holds more than 565,438+0% equity of Company B, then B is the holding subsidiary of A, and then B has only one controller.

In some cases, a company may be controlled by two or more companies. For example, A and B each hold 50% of the shares of Company C. But at this time, no company can say that it alone controls Company C, and Company C is not a subsidiary of any company.

Pure holding companies do not directly engage in production and operation business, but only carry out capital operation by holding shares of other companies. Hybrid holding companies not only carry out capital operation through holding, but also engage in some production and operation businesses.

Extended data:

1. The subsidiary is actually controlled by the parent company. The so-called actual control means that the parent company has the actual decision-making power over all major matters of the subsidiary, especially the composition of the board of directors of the subsidiary. The parent company may appoint multiple directors of the board of directors by exercising its power without the consent of others. Although some trust institutions own a large number of shares in the company, they do not participate in the actual control of the company's affairs, so they do not belong to the parent company.

2. The control relationship between parent company and subsidiary company is based on the ownership of equity or control agreement. According to the majority voting principle of the shareholders' meeting, the more shares you own, the more you can get the decision-making power on the company's affairs. Therefore, if a company owns more than 50% of the shares of another company, it is bound to be able to control the company.

But in fact, due to the dispersion of shares, as long as you own more than a certain proportion of shares, you can obtain the majority voting rights at the shareholders' meeting and obtain the controlling position. In addition to share control, the relationship between parent company and subsidiary company can also be formed by concluding some special contracts or agreements to make one company under the control of another company.
