Key Terms

2 terms

voluntary lock-up regulatory

"have voluntarily agreed not to sell any of their TGE shares for a period of two years"

A voluntary lock-up is an agreement where existing shareholders choose not to sell their shares for a set period after a public offering or major financing. It matters to investors because it temporarily limits how many shares can hit the market, which can help stabilize the stock price and signal confidence from insiders—like neighbors agreeing not to sell houses at once so the local market doesn’t suddenly flood with supply.

controlling shareholder regulatory

"AMTD Digital Inc. ("AMTD Digital") (NYSE: HKD), the controlling shareholder of TGE"

A controlling shareholder is a person or entity that holds enough voting power in a company—often a majority of votes or decisive influence through agreements—to determine its board, strategy and major decisions. For investors this matters because that control shapes corporate direction, risk and who benefits from deals; like a driver steering a car, a controlling shareholder can speed up or block changes, which can affect minority shareholders’ returns and the company’s value.
