Headquarters

The Group, in certain cases, is required to have a resident as one of the shareholders besides the Parent Company to comply with local laws and regulations. However, in such cases, the Group continues to remain the economic beneficiary of the shareholding held by such resident shareholder and therefore is said to have a “beneficial ownership” of such non-controlling interests. Legal ownership and beneficial ownership are the same except as indicated below.

(i)The Parent Company’s subsidiary’s Swvl for Mobility Solutions FZE and Smart Mobility Solutions for Transportation Services were incorporated during the year ended 31 December 2024. The subsidiaries are currently legally owned by a member of the Group’s management and are in the process of a legal ownership transfer to the Group. The subsidiaries have been consolidated based on the beneficial ownership and effective control.
(ii)The Parent Company’s subsidiary Smart Way Transportation LLC was incorporated during the year ended 31 December 2021. The subsidiary is currently legally owned by a member of the Group’s management. During 2022, the Group’s board of directors resolved to discontinue the subsidiary’s operations. As of 30 June 2025, the company is still in liquidation process. The subsidiary has been consolidated based on the beneficial ownership and effective control.
