is it just okay to use "a 100%" here? in this way?
According to Timothy, before the share transfer, Holderin BV had become a 100% shareholder in Holcim Participations, So it indirectly had a control over the company.

a 100% shareholder
Google gives 334 hits for "a 100% shareholder" so I suppose it is ok !

: actually, 334 hits for what looks like a pretty common phrase would guarantee I stay away from the proposed term

My comment is actually about the latter part of the sentence: 'so it indirectly had A control'. This is not grammatically correct. It should be 'it had indirect control' or 'it indirectly controlled'.

wholly-owned
with appropriate reversal of A and B: Holcim became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holderin

Can Altinbay
: I think yours is the best solution so far. I have major problems with the whole thing, though. They had all the shares BEFORE a share transfer? They owned it outright, but had indirect control? Huh?

Assume "the share transfer" concerned other players or at best one of those named here and some third party. Does that make more sense now? I mean, A owned B as B was taking over C, so A had indirect control over C...

: I'm not sure that this sentence isn't beyond repair without more context. Can is correct in that the numbers don't add up.
