Key Terms
plurality voting standard, preferred shares, Exchange Act, U.S. Domestic Issuer Status, +4 more
8 terms
plurality voting standardregulatory
"amendments to the Company's Articles to provide for a plurality voting standard in the event"
A plurality voting standard means the candidate with the most votes wins an election, even if they receive less than half of the votes. For investors this matters because it makes it easier for directors or management to keep their seats with only a relative advantage rather than broad shareholder support, affecting board accountability, the ease of replacing directors, and how power shifts in contested votes — like a race where first past the post wins.
preferred sharesfinancial
"to permit the issuance of preferred shares with rights and preferences to be determined"
Preferred shares are a type of investment that gives investors priority over common shareholders when it comes to receiving dividends and getting their money back if a company is sold or liquidated. Think of them as a safer, more predictable way to earn income from a company's profits, similar to a fixed-return investment, but without voting rights. This makes preferred shares appealing to those seeking stable income with a higher claim on assets than regular stockholders.
Exchange Actregulatory
"to reflect Flutter's U.S. Domestic Issuer Status for the purpose of Exchange Act reporting"
A federal law that sets rules for trading securities on public exchanges, requiring companies and market participants to register, disclose regular financial information, and follow standards that promote honest, orderly markets. For investors, it matters because it creates transparency and legal protections—like stopping insider trading and ensuring timely company disclosures—so you can evaluate risks and rely on consistent rules much as players rely on a referee to keep a game fair.
U.S. Domestic Issuer Statusregulatory
"amendments to the Company's Articles to reflect Flutter's U.S. Domestic Issuer Status"
U.S. domestic issuer status means a company is legally based in the United States and files its regular financial and corporate reports with U.S. securities regulators under U.S. accounting and disclosure rules. For investors, that status determines the kind and frequency of information available, the legal and auditing standards that apply, and often how easily the company can raise capital—like choosing a product that comes with a clear warranty and routine maintenance records.
treasury sharesfinancial
"determine the price range for the re-issue of treasury shares off market"
Treasury shares are a company’s own stock that it has repurchased and keeps on its books instead of canceling or leaving in the hands of outside investors. Think of them like coupons a business puts back in a drawer: they don’t vote or receive dividends while held, but they can be reissued later for employee pay or fundraising. For investors this matters because buybacks change the number of shares that count toward earnings and ownership, can boost per‑share metrics, and use corporate cash that might otherwise go to growth or dividends.
ordinary sharesfinancial
"The total number of ordinary shares in issue on April 2, 2026 was 174,400,428"
Ordinary shares are a type of ownership stake in a company, giving shareholders a right to participate in the company’s profits and decision-making through voting. They are similar to owning a piece of a business, and their value can rise or fall based on the company's performance. Investors buy ordinary shares to potentially earn dividends and benefit from the company's growth over time.
special resolutionsregulatory
"* Denotes Special Resolutions NOTES:1 Votes “For” and “Against” are expressed"
Special resolutions are shareholder votes used to approve major, permanent changes to a company—such as altering the rules, approving mergers, or changing capital structure—and they require a higher-than-normal approval level (commonly a substantial supermajority rather than a simple majority). They matter to investors because they can permanently change rights, ownership or strategy; think of them like needing more than a simple majority to pass a company’s equivalent of a constitutional change.
pollregulatory
"All resolutions with the exception of 3(c) ... were duly passed on a poll"
A poll is either a formal vote or a short survey that measures people’s views. In corporate settings it often means a shareholder vote on a proposal, while in market coverage it can mean a public or investor survey of sentiment; both act like a school election or neighborhood survey that reveals which way people want things to go. Poll results matter because they can decide company actions or move market expectations and prices.
NEW YORK and DUBLIN and TORONTO, May 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Company announces that the following resolutions were put forward at its Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) held on May 29, 2026.
