# Leonardo at a Glance — shareholder base and principal shareholdings (incl. Leonardo DRS)
> *This is Leonardo S.p.A.'s own "Leonardo at a Glance" corporate fact sheet (English, published 11 April 2024 per the file name, reporting full-year 2023 figures). It is a primary/official source for the group's self-described structure: that Leonardo is listed on Borsa Italiana and, via subsidiary Leonardo DRS, on the US NASDAQ; that the Italian state holds the largest block of shares through the Ministry of Economy and Finance; and that Leonardo majority-owns Leonardo DRS. It matters to the Arkansas surveillance investigation because Leonardo is the corporate parent of the ELSAG ALPR (automated license-plate reader) product line, and this document establishes the Italian-state ownership and the US-subsidiary structure that sit behind that vendor.*
