American Depositary Shares financial

"transactions by a person discharging managerial responsibility ... in American Depositary Shares of the Company"

American depositary shares (ADSs) are a way for investors in the United States to buy shares of foreign companies without dealing with international markets directly. They represent ownership in a foreign company's stock and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges, making it easier for American investors to buy, sell, and own parts of companies from around the world.

person closely associated regulatory

"transactions by a person discharging managerial responsibility ("PDMR") and person closely associated ("PCA")"

nominal value financial

"each representing four ordinary shares 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.

trading venue regulatory

"Place of the transaction | Outside of a trading venue"

A trading venue is any organized place or system where buyers and sellers meet to swap stocks, bonds or other securities, like a physical market or an online exchange. It matters to investors because the venue determines how easily orders are filled, how quickly prices move, what rules and fees apply, and how transparent pricing is — much like choosing a busy bazaar versus a small shop affects price, speed and cost.
