Holding by holding

  1. Shanghai Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission controls SAIC Motor since 1995.

    The Shanghai municipal state-assets commission is SAIC Motor's ultimate controller, holding its shares through the wholly state-owned parent Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (Group). Published figures for the parent's holding in the listed company cluster between about 63% and 68%; no figure carrying its own date could be confirmed from an SAIC filing, so the stake is left null.

  2. SAIC Motor owns Maxus at 100% since 21 March 2011.

    SAIC established the Maxus brand on 21 March 2011, using intellectual property bought from the collapsed British LDV Group in 2010. The vehicles are sold as LDV in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
