7 terms

american depositary shares financial

"shareholders and holders of the Company’s American depositary shares (“ADSs”)"

American depositary shares (ADSs) are a way for investors in the United States to buy shares of foreign companies without dealing with international markets directly. They represent ownership in a foreign company's stock and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges, making it easier for American investors to buy, sell, and own parts of companies from around the world.

form 20-f regulatory

"filed its annual report on Form 20-F, including its audited financial statements"

Form 20-F is the standardized annual disclosure that non-U.S. companies must file with the U.S. securities regulator when their shares are traded in the U.S.; it contains audited financial statements, a plain-language description of the business, management discussion, governance details and key risk factors. It matters to investors because it provides a consistent, comparable company “report card” and rulebook, helping buyers assess financial health, governance and risks before investing.

nasdaq regulatory

"WeRide Inc. (“WeRide” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: WRD; HKEX: 0800)"

The Nasdaq is a stock exchange where many companies' shares are bought and sold, functioning much like a marketplace for investments. It matters to investors because it provides a platform to buy and sell ownership stakes in companies, helping them track the value of those companies and make informed decisions. As one of the largest and most technology-focused markets, it also reflects trends and developments in the business world.

hkex regulatory

"WeRide Inc. (“WeRide” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: WRD; HKEX: 0800)"

HKEX is the operator of Hong Kong’s main financial marketplaces, running the stock exchange, derivatives trading and the clearing systems that settle trades. Think of it as the marketplace and referee that decides which companies can list, how trades are processed, and the rules that keep trading orderly; its policies and listings shape investor access, liquidity and price discovery for many Asian and international investments.

proxy regulatory

"the AGM Notice and the form of proxy for the AGM are available"

A proxy is the authorization a shareholder gives to another person or document to cast votes on their behalf at a company meeting. Think of it like handing someone your voting ticket so they can represent your choices on board elections, executive pay, mergers and other big decisions; it matters because proxies determine who controls the company and which proposals pass, directly affecting share value and investor returns.

depositary financial

"must give voting instructions directly to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the depositary"

A depositary is a financial institution that holds and safeguards financial assets, such as stocks or bonds, on behalf of investors. It ensures that ownership records are accurate and that transactions are processed securely. For investors, a depositary provides a trustworthy way to manage their investments, similar to a secure vault that keeps valuables safe and organized.

u.s. securities and exchange commission regulatory

"with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)"

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is a government agency responsible for overseeing the stock market and protecting investors. It sets rules to ensure that companies share truthful information and that trading is fair, helping to maintain trust in the financial system. This oversight is important because it helps prevent fraud and ensures that investors can make informed decisions.
