the questionHow is Trafigura Pte Ltd registered and what does it do within the group?

1Registration and identifiers

analysisTPTE is a private company limited by shares, incorporated on 7 March 1996 and registered with Singapore's Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority under number 199601595D, with its registered office at 10 Collyer Quay, #29-01/05 Ocean Financial Centre. Its LEI, 549300Z2X1L1L3MID765, dates from 2013 and its GLEIF record is fully corroborated against the register. Aggregators record it as live, filing its last annual return in February 2026, with fuel wholesaling and holding activity as its registered business codes. 1 2 3

analysisAggregators also list TPTE as a registered dealer in precious stones and precious metals under Singapore's anti-money-laundering rules (PS20200001995) and as a foreign company in Panama's public register, with a legal representative who is one of its directors and one court case whose details were not obtained. 4 5 6

qualification
Both records come from corporate-data aggregators; the Panamanian registry entry itself and the court case were not obtained.

2Role, staff and branches

analysisThe group's prospectuses call TPTE the principal entity through which group trades are booked, the regional headquarters of oil trading and the focal point of offices from Brisbane to Ulaanbaatar; the bond issuer lends its proceeds mainly to TPTE, which performs treasury functions for the group. TPTE's 2025 modern slavery statement puts its staff at about 1,000 permanent employees in six offices in five countries. 1 2 3 4

analysisTPTE trades through foreign branches. The Geneva branch provides office space, IT and staff to its Maltese gas-trading subsidiary, and in January 2026 Singapore exempted from tax the profits TPTE receives from its Montevideo and Dubai branches. 5 6 7

3Capital, shareholders and accounts

analysisAggregators relaying the register give TPTE a paid-up capital of S$6,100,002 and 506 registered charges. Two of them also show shareholder numbers or percentages that conflict with the group's statements that TPTE is wholly owned within the group, and a third shows only percentage changes in TPTE's 2025 accounts. TPTE's financial year ends on 30 September, and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP audited the 2023 and 2024 years. 1 2 3 4

qualification
The figures are aggregator relays of the register, not an ACRA extract; one aggregator gives five officers in the same period. Neither aggregator names a shareholder or its source. The group's prospectuses describe TPTE as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of TGPL, and the 2024 report of the Bulgarian energy regulator, based on documents the group supplied, names TPTE Holding Limited (Malta) as TPTE's sole shareholder; no ACRA shareholder extract was obtained, so the discrepancy remains unexplained. Only percentage changes are visible in the retained page; TPTE's own financial statements were not obtained.

4Panamanian records

analysisA Panamanian registry aggregator links three people from TPTE's Panamanian registration to organisations whose names begin with 'TRAFIGURA', one active and two inactive, and shows no licences, sanctions or debarments for them. 1 2 3

qualification
The organisations are not named in the retained pages, so the record does not show whether they are TPTE's own Panamanian registration or another group company.
