Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO) refers to the persons or entities that are the ultimate beneficiary of a company. UBO also refers to situations in which ownership or controls are exercised through a chain of ownership and by means other than direct control.
The European Union’s Fourth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (4AMLD) substantially addressed Ultimate Beneficial Ownership — by stipulating persons who have a share, voting rights or control of more than 25% are classed as Ultimate Beneficial Owner.
