voting rights financial
"Therefore, the number of ordinary shares with voting rights is 8,879,691,798"
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.
denominator financial
"this figure should be used by shareholders ... as the denominator for the calculation"
The denominator is the number on the bottom of a fraction that shows the total population or base used to calculate a rate, percentage or ratio — for example, the total shares outstanding when calculating earnings per share, or all trial participants when reporting a safety rate. It matters to investors because changing the denominator (by issuing more shares, changing the population measured, or narrowing the base) can make percentages and per‑unit figures look better or worse even if the underlying raw numbers stay the same, much like changing the size of a pizza makes each slice appear larger or smaller.
FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules regulatory
"determine if they are required to notify their interest ... under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules."
The FCA’s disclosure guidance and transparency rules are the UK regulator’s requirements that public companies must share clear, timely and accurate information about their finances, governance and material events with investors and the market. Like a neighborhood noticeboard that keeps everyone informed of important changes, these rules help investors make fair comparisons, avoid surprises and reduce the risk that decisions are based on incomplete or late information.
