(F/K/A BAZAAR, Inc.), a company incorporated in the United States of America. The company's ultimate controlling party is Efe Cakarel.' MUBI UK owes £26.9m to MUBI, Inc. and depends on its funding. The PSC register itself shows a 'no registrable person' statement. Operating entity is also outside the EU (UK). No LEI. Re-checked 2026-10-18: the statements were approved on 30 Sep 2026, so the parent statement is current to that date. They also flag a going-concern material uncertainty tied to reliance on parent support.
