What business Legal Structure is Tip Top in New Zealand?

I need to know for a assignment and I cannot find the answer on the NZ Stock Exchange or their website. Are they a Public Limited Company, Private Limited Company, Partnership or Franchise? Thanks for any help!

1. Tip Top (I assume you mean the ice cream makers) are a Fonterra brand listed on the Companies Office website as Fonterra Brands (Tip Top) Limited. That company is owned by Fonterra Brands Investments (NZ) Limited, in turn owned by New Zealand Milk (Australasian Holdings) Limited, in turn owned by New Zealand Milk (International) Limited, in turn owned by Fonterra Brands Limited, in turn owned by the New Zealand Dairy Board and Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited. Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited is owned by multiple shareholders (all companies) - and it is listed on the NZX - so it would be a public company. Edit: But Fonterra Brands (Tip Top) Limited itself is not listed - so it may be a private company??? It's a subsidiary of the listed company. I don't want to state unequivocally what the legal status is because this is not my area of expertise, sorry. But, I hope this helps. Additional: I've added a link to a University of Auckland site that you might find helpful if you need to search for info about companies in the future.
