Confirmed. Because Holdings Corp controls Corps A, B, and C, it holds everything that each of them holds. As a result, Holdings Corp holds 100% of OpCo (49% + 39% + 12%) and therefore controls OpCo.

Dear PNO,

Holdings Corp holds 100% of the voting securities of each of Corp A, Corp B, and Corp C, which in turn holds 49%, 39%, and 12%, respectively, of the voting securities of OpCo. Can you confirm whether Holdings Corp controls Opco?

Many thanks.
