6 terms

american depositary shares financial

"shareholders and holders of American depositary shares (“ADSs”) vote in favor"

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.

ads financial

"Holders of record of ADSs as of the close of business on May 22, 2026"

Ads are paid promotional messages a company places across media — online, on TV, in print, or on social platforms — to attract customers, explain products, or shape public perception. For investors, ads matter because they drive sales growth, affect how much a company must spend to win customers, and influence brand strength and long-term value. Ads can also create regulatory or reputational risk if claims are misleading, which can affect profits and stock price.

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.

u.s. securities and exchange commission regulatory

"filed its annual report on Form 20-F... with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission"

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.

form of proxy regulatory

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

A form of proxy is the official document shareholders use to give someone else instructions or authority to vote their shares at a company meeting when they cannot or choose not to attend. Like filling out a ballot and designating a trusted friend to cast it for you, it lets investors influence board elections, mergers, executive pay and other key decisions without being physically present, so timely review can affect control and value of your investment.

depositary financial

"must give voting instructions to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the depositary of the ADSs"

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.
