treasury shares financial
"of which 12,240,797 are 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.
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.
