"acquisition of a relevant shareholding interest"

controlling interest financial

"change the controlling interest or the management structure"

A controlling interest is when a person or group owns enough shares of a company to influence or make decisions about how it is run. It’s similar to having a majority of votes in a group project, giving you the power to guide decisions. For investors, holding a controlling interest means they can significantly affect the company’s direction and policies.

voting rights regulatory

"governing the exercise of voting rights"

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.
