Total Voting Rights financial
"Flutter Entertainment plc (the “Company”) Total Voting Rights"
The total voting rights number is the count of shares that carry the right to vote at a company’s shareholder meetings, reflecting how much voting power exists in the market. Investors use it to understand control and influence—like knowing how many votes are in play when measuring ownership stakes, calculating a shareholder’s voting percentage, or assessing how easy it would be for a holder to sway decisions.
nominal value financial
"ordinary shares in issue as at April 30, 2026 was 173,972,199 with a nominal value of €0.09 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.
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules regulatory
"under the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules"
Disclosure guidance and transparency rules are the standards and regulations that require companies to share clear, timely information about their finances, risks, operations and material events. They matter to investors because consistent, honest reporting is like a car’s dashboard — it reveals the data you need to judge safety and performance and make informed buying or selling decisions. Strong disclosure reduces surprises and helps keep markets fair and efficient.

"In accordance with DTR 5.6.1 of the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules"
Regulatory News Service regulatory
"released, via the Regulatory News Service in London, an announcement"
A regulatory news service is an official channel where companies publish required disclosures and material information so regulators, investors and the public receive the same announcements at the same time. Think of it as a public bulletin board that ensures important facts—like earnings, leadership changes, or regulatory filings—are shared promptly and fairly; investors use these notices to reassess value, risk and trading decisions.
