warrants financial

"Each Warrant confers the right to subscribe for one ordinary share"

Warrants are special documents that give you the right to buy a company's stock at a set price before a certain date. They are often used as a way for companies to attract investors or raise money, and their value can increase if the company's stock price goes up.

exercise price financial

"has an exercise price equal to US $223.21 per share"

The exercise price is the fixed amount at which you can buy or sell an asset, like a stock, when using an options contract. It matters because it helps determine whether exercising the option will be profitable or not, depending on the current market price. Think of it as the set price you agree on today to buy or sell later.

vesting financial

"25% of the Warrants will vest on the one year anniversary"

Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.

exit events financial

"earlier vesting upon the occurrence of certain exit events"

Articles of Association regulatory

"under the terms of Appendix 1a to 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.
