"Ericsson's holding of treasury stock amounts to 117,888,663 Class B shares."
Treasury stock is shares that a company has bought back from the public and kept in its own control rather than retiring them. Think of it like a company holding its own tickets in a drawer: those shares no longer vote or receive dividends while held, but the company can reissue or retire them later; this reduces the number of shares available to outside investors and can boost per‑share earnings and influence ownership and stock price.
Safe Harbour Regulation regulatory
"supplementing MAR ("the Safe Harbour Regulation")"
A safe harbour regulation is a legal provision that protects companies or individuals from certain penalties or liability when they follow specified rules or meet defined conditions, effectively creating a predictable carve-out from broader laws. For investors, it matters because it lowers regulatory uncertainty and potential legal exposure for firms that comply, similar to a traffic lane where following the signs keeps you from getting a ticket, and that clarity can affect risk assessments and valuation.
