block listing financial

"under the Company's existing block listing of shares"

A block listing is a way to move a large chunk of a company’s shares or securities in one go, usually sold or admitted to trading as a single, pre-arranged package to institutional investors. It matters to investors because such concentrated transactions can quickly change the number of shares available, affect the stock’s supply and demand balance, and cause noticeable price moves or shifts in ownership—think of unloading many items at once in a market and suddenly changing its balance.

pari passu technical

"will rank pari passu with the existing issued Ordinary Shares"

An instruction that different claims, securities, or creditors are treated equally and share rights or payments on the same priority level. For investors, it means their position will be paid or have voting power alongside others in the same class rather than being favored or subordinated—think of several people standing in one bus line who all get on together rather than some cutting ahead. That parity affects expected recovery in reorganizations, dividend order, and relative risk.
