Common Control
The Most Common Types of Restructurings Involving
Entities Under Common Control
Creation of a New Company and transfer of business to the new company (also referred
to as spin-offs) in anticipation of a listing of securities or sale of business or debt raising
or taking benefit of a tax advantageous territory etc.
Group reorganisation involving moving of assets or entities within the group mainly
driven by tax or financial considerations or for simplification of group structure. Similar
to spin-offs, these could take several forms as these reorganisations are driven by
varied necessities. Mergers and amalgamations of group entities are the most common
forms of reorganisations.

Group Reorganizations
Group reorganizations involve the restructuring of the relationships between
companies in a group (or under common control) and can take many forms, for
example:
 Setting up a new holding company
 Changing the direct ownership of subsidiaries within the group (possibly
involving the creation of a new intermediate holding company)
 Transferring businesses from one company to another

It is possible! Depends on specific facts. More information required.
Examples:
 What is the size of Company X’s shareholdings relative to size and dispersion of other shareholdings?
 The more voting rights Company X holds compared to anyone else, and the greater number of other vote-
holders that would need to act together to outvote Company the more likely Company X has practical ability to
direct Company A’s relevant activities
 Do other vote holders or other parties hold potential voting rights?
 Are there any other relevant contractual arrangements?
 What is the voting pattern at past shareholder meetings?
 Does a special relationship (e.g., reliance on intellectual property) exist between Company X
and Company A?
 What level of exposure does Company X have to variability in returns?
The Control Model : An Overview
An investor controls an investee when
it is exposed, or has rights, to variable
