Key Terms

american depositary shares, ads, record date, form of proxy, +1 more

5 terms

american depositary shares financial

"shareholders and holders of the Company's American depositary shares ("ADSs")"

American depositary shares (ADSs) are a way for investors in the United States to buy shares of foreign companies without dealing with international markets directly. They represent ownership in a foreign company's stock and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges, making it easier for American investors to buy, sell, and own parts of companies from around the world.

ads financial

"holders of the Company's American depositary shares ("ADSs") vote in favor"

Ads are paid promotional messages a company places across media — online, on TV, in print, or on social platforms — to attract customers, explain products, or shape public perception. For investors, ads matter because they drive sales growth, affect how much a company must spend to win customers, and influence brand strength and long-term value. Ads can also create regulatory or reputational risk if claims are misleading, which can affect profits and stock price.

record date regulatory

"has fixed the close of business on March 9, 2026, Shanghai time as the record date"

The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.

form of proxy regulatory

"the AGM Notice... and the form of proxy for the AGM are available"

A form of proxy is the official document shareholders use to give someone else instructions or authority to vote their shares at a company meeting when they cannot or choose not to attend. Like filling out a ballot and designating a trusted friend to cast it for you, it lets investors influence board elections, mergers, executive pay and other key decisions without being physically present, so timely review can affect control and value of your investment.

depositary financial

"must give voting instructions to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the depositary"

A depositary is a financial institution that holds and safeguards financial assets, such as stocks or bonds, on behalf of investors. It ensures that ownership records are accurate and that transactions are processed securely. For investors, a depositary provides a trustworthy way to manage their investments, similar to a secure vault that keeps valuables safe and organized.
