Hello Sir, I am wondering why Seal is not considered an associate since Invesk holds >20% of its shares and has at least one seat on the board?
Thank you!
Hi,
As the other entity owns 60% and has control of the business then we will not be able to exert any influence over the business and hence it not being an associate. An investment between 15% and 50% is a guideline for an associate but we need to ensure that it gives us significant influence. In this instance it doesn’t.
Thanks
