PDMR regulatory
"Details of PDMR/person closely associated with them ('PCA')"
A PDMR (person discharging managerial responsibilities) is an individual who can shape a company’s strategy or finances—typically senior executives, board members, or close advisors with decision-making authority. Investors care because PDMRs often hold material, non‑public information and their buying or selling of shares must be reported; monitoring those disclosures is like watching a ship’s captain to read the likely course and spot possible insider risk.
LEI regulatory
"Name | GSK plc b) | LEI | 5493000HZTVUYLO1D793"
A Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a unique 20-character code assigned to a company or organization that participates in financial markets, like a corporate passport number. It helps investors and regulators unambiguously identify counterparties across databases and transactions, reducing confusion much like using a vehicle identification number to track a car’s history; clearer identification improves transparency, risk monitoring, and regulatory reporting.
