4 terms

persons discharging managerial responsibilities regulatory

"Notification and public disclosure of transaction by persons discharging managerial responsibilities and persons closely associated with them"

Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities are the key people in a company who make big decisions, like top managers or executives. Knowing who they are is important because their actions can influence the company’s success or failure, and they are often required to share information about their dealings to ensure transparency for investors and the public.

nominal value financial

"ordinary shares of the Company with a nominal value of 25 pence each"

Nominal value is the stated or face amount assigned to a financial instrument — for shares it’s the par value printed on the stock certificate, and for money or returns it can mean the number not adjusted for inflation. Think of it like a price tag on an item versus its buying power: the tag tells you the label, but not how much you can actually buy. Investors care because nominal values affect accounting, legal capital, dividend calculations and comparisons over time when inflation may distort real worth.

nominee service financial

"in its capacity as administrator of the Barclays' nominee service"

Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) regulatory

"LEI | 213800LBQA1Y9L22JB70"

A Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a standardized, global ID code assigned to companies and other organizations that participate in financial transactions, like a passport for businesses. Investors use LEIs to quickly and reliably confirm which legal body is behind a trade, filing, or contract, reducing confusion, fraud and counterparty risk much like checking a driver’s license before accepting responsibility.
