American Depositary Receipts financial
"and to holders of American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") on the New York Stock Exchange"
A certificate traded on U.S. markets that represents ownership of shares in a foreign company, letting U.S. investors buy and sell that company as if it were listed domestically. Think of it as a local voucher for a foreign product: it makes price quotes in dollars, trades on familiar exchanges, and brings differences in liquidity, fees and legal protections that can affect returns and risk compared with buying the underlying foreign shares directly.
record date financial
"from record date 14 August 2026, in total seven business days"
The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.
Continuing Obligations regulatory
"published in accordance with the requirements of the Continuing Obligations"
Norwegian Securities Trading Act regulatory
"subject to the disclosure requirements pursuant to section 5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act"
The Norwegian Securities Trading Act is the national law that sets the rules for buying, selling and offering financial instruments in Norway, including requirements for fair disclosure, market conduct and investor protection. For investors it matters because it helps ensure companies and intermediaries provide accurate information and prevents abusive trading, much like traffic laws make driving safer and predictable so people can trust the market and make informed decisions.
