Practice question: Determining Control and Market Dominance

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A parent owns exactly half of another entity’s voting power and has no other control rights or circumstances shown. Does the ownership-based presumption in Section 25 arise solely from that 50% figure?
  1. Yes, exactly half is more than half
  2. Yes, every minority shareholding is conclusively controlling
  3. No; that presumption requires more than one-half, although other Section 25 powers could separately establish control
  4. No; control can never exist at half or less
  5. Only if the companies use matching names
