2022 RSU Scheme financial
"for the purpose of the 2022 RSU Scheme to satisfy the RSUs upon vesting"
Trustee financial
"the Trustee purchased a total of 100,000 existing Shares on-market"
A trustee is a person or institution legally appointed to hold and manage assets or enforce an agreement on behalf of other people (beneficiaries). Think of a trustee as a neutral referee or custodian who must act in the beneficiaries’ best interests, follow the trust or contract rules, and handle distributions, recordkeeping and enforcement. Investors care because a trustworthy trustee protects their rights, ensures promised payments or remedies are delivered, and can influence recoveries if things go wrong.
on-market financial
"the Trustee purchased a total of 100,000 existing Shares on-market"
On-market describes buying or selling shares directly through a public stock exchange at the current market price, rather than by a private or negotiated deal. Like buying an item from a store at the posted price instead of haggling privately, on-market trades happen quickly, are visible to other investors, and can move the stock price, so they affect liquidity and provide a transparent signal about supply and demand.
independent non-executive Directors financial
"as independent non-executive Directors"
Independent non-executive directors are board members who do not work for the company and have no significant financial or personal ties to its managers; they do not run day-to-day operations but attend board meetings to oversee strategy and decisions. For investors, they matter because they act like outside referees or impartial advisors who help prevent self-dealing, challenge management when needed, and boost confidence that the company’s decisions serve shareholders’ interests.
