5 terms
share buyback financial
"These repurchases are part of the share buyback program announced on November 5, 2025"
A share buyback is when a company uses its cash to purchase its own stock from the market, which reduces the number of shares available to other investors. Think of it like a bakery buying back some of its own cookies so the remaining cookies are a bigger slice of the business; buybacks can raise per-share earnings and ownership stakes and signal management’s confidence, but they also use cash that could have been spent on growth or dividends.
View in glossary
treasury shares financial
"Shares repurchased are added to and held as treasury shares and will be used"
Treasury shares are a company’s own stock that it has repurchased and keeps on its books instead of canceling or leaving in the hands of outside investors. Think of them like coupons a business puts back in a drawer: they don’t vote or receive dividends while held, but they can be reissued later for employee pay or fundraising. For investors this matters because buybacks change the number of shares that count toward earnings and ownership, can boost per‑share metrics, and use corporate cash that might otherwise go to growth or dividends.
capital reduction financial
"treasury shares and will be used for capital reduction purposes through share cancelation"
A capital reduction is a legal move where a company shrinks the amount of money recorded as its official share capital, either by cancelling shares, lowering the value of each share, or returning cash to shareholders. Investors care because it changes the company’s balance sheet and can alter how much each remaining share represents—like pruning a tree to concentrate fruit or giving back some of the harvest—potentially affecting ownership percentages, per‑share metrics and the stock’s market value.
Regulation (EU) 596/2014 regulatory
"within the limits of relevant laws and regulations (in particular Regulation (EU) 596/2014)"
Regulation (EU) 596/2014, known as the Market Abuse Regulation, is a set of European rules that stop insider trading and market manipulation by requiring timely public disclosure of important company information and monitoring suspicious trading. Think of it as a referee and scoreboard that forces companies to share game-changing facts and punishes cheating, so prices reflect real information. For investors this increases fairness and confidence that market prices are not distorted by secret advantages.
Articles of Association regulatory
"within the limits of relevant laws and regulations ... and the company’s Articles of Association"
A company's articles of association are its written rulebook that sets how the business is run, how decisions are made, and what rights owners and directors have—covering voting, meetings, appointment and removal of directors, share classes and dividend policies. For investors, these rules matter because they determine how easily control can change, what protections minority owners have, and how corporate actions (like issuing new shares or changing leadership) are approved, much like a home’s bylaws shaping what residents can and cannot do.
