4 terms

isin financial

"Class B shares (ISIN: SE0000108656)"

A 12-character International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) is a unique code that acts like a passport for a specific stock, bond or other tradable security so it can be identified worldwide. Investors and systems use it to ensure they are buying, selling and tracking the exact same instrument across exchanges and data feeds, which prevents costly mix-ups and makes portfolio reporting, settlement and regulatory checks simpler and more reliable.

lei code regulatory

"Ericsson") (LEI code 549300W9JLPW15XIFM52)"

A LEI code is a 20-character, globally recognized identifier assigned to companies and other legal entities that take part in financial transactions; think of it as a corporate passport or social-security number for businesses. Investors and regulators use LEIs to unambiguously identify who is on each side of trades, improve transparency, meet reporting requirements, and assess counterparty and market risk, so an entity’s LEI affects compliance, trade processing and how easily its filings can be interpreted.

treasury stock financial

"Ericsson's holding of treasury stock amounts to 91,169,316 Class B shares"

Treasury stock is shares that a company has bought back from the public and kept in its own control rather than retiring them. Think of it like a company holding its own tickets in a drawer: those shares no longer vote or receive dividends while held, but the company can reissue or retire them later; this reduces the number of shares available to outside investors and can boost per‑share earnings and influence ownership and stock price.

View in glossary

safe harbour regulation regulatory

"the Safe Harbour Regulation"

A safe harbour regulation is a legal provision that protects companies or individuals from certain penalties or liability when they follow specified rules or meet defined conditions, effectively creating a predictable carve-out from broader laws. For investors, it matters because it lowers regulatory uncertainty and potential legal exposure for firms that comply, similar to a traffic lane where following the signs keeps you from getting a ticket, and that clarity can affect risk assessments and valuation.
