Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities regulatory
"to Roanne Parry, a Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ('PDMR')"
A person discharging managerial responsibilities is an individual who holds a senior role with authority to make or influence a company’s strategic or operational decisions, such as executives, board members, or other top managers. Investors care because these people often have access to confidential information and their buying or selling of company shares must be disclosed—like a referee who knows the score before the crowd, their actions can signal important, non-public insights about a company's prospects.
vesting period financial
"awards are made over notional Ordinary Shares with vesting over a specified period"
A vesting period is the set amount of time someone must wait before they fully own granted shares, stock options, or other equity tied to their work or an agreement; ownership increases gradually or in steps during that time. Investors care because vesting determines when insiders or employees can sell shares, which affects future supply of stock, company incentives and executive retention—think of it like unlocking ownership over installments rather than receiving it all at once.
