treasury stock financial
"Ericsson’s holding of treasury stock amounts to 125,805,951 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
"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.
