Trading is supported by CME Group technology and cleared through CME Clearing.
Source
GME Holdings Limited (Gulf Mercantile Exchange, formerly Dubai Mercantile Exchange) files nothing with the SEC, so none of this comes from a filer record. The description was written for this site in August 2026 from Gulf Mercantile Exchange, About GME, CME Group press release: Saudi Tadawul Group acquires a strategic stake in DME creating Gulf Mercantile Exchange and CME Group GME strategic partnership resources. The ownership figures below come from the holders' filings instead, and are sourced row by row.
The disclosed stakes
One row per position. Where a holder reports the same company in two share classes, both rows are shown rather than summed, because the class is part of a position's identity.
Where each figure comes from
A private stake has no ownership form behind it, so the source is always the holder's own filing or disclosure. Anything modelled says so, with the arithmetic.
- CME Group Inc., as of 31 Dec 2025. GME Holdings does issue shares, but the 10-K discloses only the percentage interest and the shares involved in the 2024 stake-reduction transaction, not CME's current total share count, so shares stays null. FY2025 10-K: 'The company owns a 33% interest in GME Holdings Limited (GME Holdings)... The carrying amount of the company's investment in GME Holdings was $11.8 million at December 31, 2025.' In June 2024 CME invested $3.5 million for 3.5 million additional GME shares, then immediately sold 15.5 million shares to a third party for $15.5 million, which reduced CME's stake from 50% to 33% (net gain of $9.2 million). The Q2 2026 10-Q does not update this carrying amount or percentage. source
What this page is not
It is not a complete register. It lists the holders who happen to be inside the researched set and disclosed the stake themselves. A private company can have many other shareholders, and nothing here rules them out: venture investors, founders and employees usually appear in no public filing at all. Percentages are of GME Holdings Limited (Gulf Mercantile Exchange, formerly Dubai Mercantile Exchange) where a holder stated one, and are missing where no holder did.
