Total Voting Rights financial
"1 July 2026 Total Voting Rights The following notification is made..."
The total voting rights number is the count of shares that carry the right to vote at a company’s shareholder meetings, reflecting how much voting power exists in the market. Investors use it to understand control and influence—like knowing how many votes are in play when measuring ownership stakes, calculating a shareholder’s voting percentage, or assessing how easy it would be for a holder to sway decisions.
Disclosure and Transparency Rule 5.6.1 regulatory
"The following notification is made in accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rule 5.6.1."
issued share capital financial
"As at 30 June 2026 the issued share capital of AstraZeneca PLC with voting rights is 1,551,024,534 ordinary shares..."
Issued share capital is the total value or number of a company's shares that have been created and given to investors, employees or others; think of it as the slices of a cake that have already been cut and distributed. It matters to investors because it determines ownership percentages, potential voting power and how future share sales can dilute existing holdings, affecting share value and control.
Treasury financial
"No shares are held in Treasury."
The treasury is the department or area within a government or organization responsible for managing its money, finances, and financial strategies. It handles tasks like collecting revenue, paying bills, and planning for future financial needs, much like a household manages its budget. For investors, understanding the treasury is important because it influences interest rates, government spending, and overall economic stability.
voting rights financial
"Therefore, the total number of voting rights in AstraZeneca PLC is 1,551,024,534."
Voting rights are the ability of shareholders to have a say in important company decisions, like choosing leaders or approving big changes. They matter because they give owners a voice in how the company is run, similar to how voters influence elections, ensuring the company acts in shareholders’ interests.
