treasury shares financial
"The purchased shares will be held as Treasury shares."
Treasury shares are a company’s own stock that it has repurchased and keeps on its books instead of canceling or leaving in the hands of outside investors. Think of them like coupons a business puts back in a drawer: they don’t vote or receive dividends while held, but they can be reissued later for employee pay or fundraising. For investors this matters because buybacks change the number of shares that count toward earnings and ownership, can boost per‑share metrics, and use corporate cash that might otherwise go to growth or dividends.

"Such share purchases form part of the Company's existing buyback programme"
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules regulatory
"under the 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.

voting rights financial
"the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 4,050,256,108."
Voting rights are the ability of shareholders to have a say in important company decisions, like choosing leaders or approving big changes. They matter because they give owners a voice in how the company is run, similar to how voters influence elections, ensuring the company acts in shareholders’ interests.
