An establishment can hold several roles, so the shares add to more than 100%.
Who holds the registration in the United Arab Emirates
In the UAE devices are registered with the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) through a locally licensed medical warehouse or authorised representative; Dubai and Abu Dhabi free zones add their own permits. The local registrant holds the registration, so choose it deliberately.
This is the general rule, not legal advice. The registration clause in the first distributor contract decides who controls the market later; the Audit covers it per market.
