person discharging managerial responsibilities regulatory

"NOTIFICATION OF A TRANSACTION OF A PERSON DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES (PDMR)"

A person discharging managerial responsibilities is an individual who holds a senior role with authority to make or influence a company’s strategic or operational decisions, such as executives, board members, or other top managers. Investors care because these people often have access to confidential information and their buying or selling of company shares must be disclosed—like a referee who knows the score before the crowd, their actions can signal important, non-public insights about a company's prospects.

pdmr regulatory

"NOTIFICATION OF A TRANSACTION OF A PERSON DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES (PDMR)"

A PDMR (person discharging managerial responsibilities) is an individual who can shape a company’s strategy or finances—typically senior executives, board members, or close advisors with decision-making authority. Investors care because PDMRs often hold material, non‑public information and their buying or selling of shares must be reported; monitoring those disclosures is like watching a ship’s captain to read the likely course and spot possible insider risk.

market abuse regulation 596/2014 regulatory

"in accordance with the requirements of the EU and UK version of the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014."

Regulation 596/2014, known as the Market Abuse Regulation, is the European rulebook that bans insider trading and market manipulation and requires timely public disclosure of crucial company information. It matters to investors because it helps keep prices fair and trustworthy—like rules that stop players from cheating in a game—by forcing companies and insiders to be transparent and making unlawful trading easier to detect and punish.

A legal entity identifier (LEI) is a unique, standardized code that functions like a global ID card for businesses and organizations involved in financial markets. It helps investors and regulators reliably identify who is on the other side of a deal, trace ownership and links between firms, and reduce confusion or fraud — improving transparency for reporting, risk assessment, and cross-border trades.
