Key Terms

eu mar, uk mar, financial services act, 2021, off-market buyback contract

4 terms

eu mar regulatory

"programmes (“EU MAR”) and EU MAR as “onshored” into UK law from the end of the Brexit"

EU MAR is the European Union’s Market Abuse Regulation, a set of rules designed to keep financial markets fair by stopping insider trading and market manipulation and by requiring timely, accurate public disclosure of inside information. Think of it as traffic laws for trading: it sets who can share sensitive information, how it must be disclosed, and penalties for breaking the rules, which matters to investors because stronger rules reduce surprises, boost trust, and affect companies’ legal and reporting costs.

uk mar regulatory

"from time to time (“UK MAR”) and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052"

UK MAR is the UK Market Abuse Regulation, a set of laws designed to prevent insider trading, market manipulation and other dishonest practices in financial markets while setting rules for how companies must disclose important information. It matters to investors because it helps ensure a fair playing field and timely, reliable disclosures so price changes reflect real news rather than secret deals—think of it as the rulebook that keeps the market honest and predictable.

financial services act, 2021 regulatory

"replaced by the Financial Services Act, 2021 and relevant statutory instruments"

A UK law that updates the rulebook for how financial firms operate, giving regulators clearer powers to oversee markets, protect consumers, and respond to risks. For investors, it matters because it can change how products are sold, how firms are supervised, and how quickly problems are fixed—much like a revised rulebook that aims to make a game fairer and safer for everyone, which affects confidence and the value of investments.

off-market buyback contract financial

"pursuant to the off-market buyback contract approved by its shareholders and the pre-set parameters"

An off-market buyback contract is an agreement where a company agrees to repurchase its shares directly from a specific investor or group of investors, outside of the regular stock exchange or public trading. This allows the company to buy back shares privately, often at a negotiated price, which can influence the company's stock value and impact investor holdings. Such contracts matter to investors because they can affect the supply of shares and the company's financial strategy.
