American Depositary Shares financial
"in American Depositary Shares of the Company (each representing four ordinary shares"
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.
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.

LEI regulatory
"LEI | 213800LBQA1Y9L22JB70"
A Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a unique 20-character code assigned to a company or organization that participates in financial markets, like a corporate passport number. It helps investors and regulators unambiguously identify counterparties across databases and transactions, reducing confusion much like using a vehicle identification number to track a car’s history; clearer identification improves transparency, risk monitoring, and regulatory reporting.
