Q: Is Bruno Lopez’s GDS stake held directly or indirectly?

The filing classifies Bruno Lopez’s holdings as direct ownership. The entry is marked with a direct ownership code, indicating the ADSs are held in his own name rather than through a separate trust, partnership, or other indirect holding structure associated with him.
