11 January 2011 Hi,

Company A is holding Listed company. Company B, Public unlisted co., is subsidiary of Company A.
Company C Public unlisted co., is subsidiary of Company B.
Now, Company C has acquired 99% of shares of Company X, Private Limited.

Trust by virtue of step down subsidiary, Company X has become ultimate subsidiary of Company A, WHICH IS Public co.,

The query is
Should Company X (Pvt) now comply with the provisions of Public Company.
In such case should it increase the number of directors and members.
What other compliances need to be followed.
Pl clarify
