UNDERSTANDING THE 50% RULE (SIMPLIFIED)

Under U.S. sanctions guidance:

Any entity owned 50% or more—directly or indirectly—by a sanctioned party may also be treated as restricted, even if not explicitly listed.

Why this matters:

• A company can appear “clean” but still be restricted

• Exposure often exists through subsidiaries or intermediaries

• Many businesses discover this too late—after a bank flags activity

We help you identify these risks before they become problems

WHY THIS MATTERS

Undetected sanctions exposure can lead to:

• Regulatory penalties

• Frozen payments or accounts

• Banking relationship disruptions

• Contract breaches

• Reputational damage

Most companies don’t fail compliance because they ignore it—
they fail because they never saw the risk coming
