A real report, anonymized

This preview comes from a report on a US-listed battery maker. Names and identifying details are removed. Like every Battery Pulse report, it's built from public records only, and every finding traces back to a dated source.

Three findings from the sample

Screening Attested

The company, its subsidiaries, major shareholders, directors and officers were checked against US government restricted-party lists. No match. One possible name match was reviewed by hand and ruled out.

A state-linked investor Corroborated

One minority investor is a fund whose manager is controlled by a foreign state-owned investment group. The link sits several layers up and appears only when filings from different sources are put together.

Where the risk sits Gap

All production happens in an overseas subsidiary. Its exact ownership, its debt and any license or supply terms with the US parent can't be settled from public records.

The ownership picture, simplified

Foreign state-owned group Fund manager Minority investor (fund) Public shareholders US-listed parent Overseas operating subsidiary controls manages exact ownership: Gap

Simplified and anonymized. The full report shows every link with its date and source.

Questions for the supplier

Public records can't close every gap, so each report ends with the questions to put to the supplier. For example:

  1. Who directly owns the operating subsidiary, and in what percentages?
  2. Who votes shares held through nominees?
  3. What is the company's debt and lender list for the tax year?
  4. What license, supply and R&D agreements exist between the parent and the subsidiary?
