4 terms

common shares financial

"the Company has issued 705,880 common shares in the capital"

Common shares are the basic units of ownership in a company that give holders a claim on profits and a right to vote on key matters, like electing the board. Think of them as membership cards in a club: they let you share in successes and losses, but in a bankruptcy or liquidation they are paid after creditors and preferred shareholders, so their value can swing more and matters for assessing risk and potential return.

related party transaction regulatory

"Each issuance of Common Shares to the directors constitutes a "related party transaction""

A related party transaction is any deal or transfer of value between a company and people or entities with close ties to it — such as executives, major owners, family members, or affiliated businesses. Investors watch these transactions because they can favor insiders over outside shareholders, skirt fair market pricing, or hide risks; like selling your car to a relative at a friendly price, they require clear disclosure and scrutiny to judge impact on value.

Multilateral Instrument 61-101 regulatory

"within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority"

Multilateral Instrument 61-101 is a securities regulation that sets rules for certain corporate deals—like mergers, asset sales, or related-party transactions—to protect minority shareholders by requiring extra disclosure, independent valuation and, in many cases, formal shareholder approval. Think of it as an impartial referee and checklist that forces companies to show the full playbook and get a vote or an independent price opinion, so investors can judge whether a proposed deal is fair and avoid being overridden by insiders.

market capitalization financial

"does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization"

Market capitalization is the total market value of a company’s outstanding shares, calculated by multiplying the current share price by the number of shares issued. It gives a quick snapshot of a company’s size and how investors value it, influencing perceived risk, index membership, and roughly how much it might cost to buy the whole company — like using a sticker price to compare the relative size and price of different houses.
