Schedule TO regulatory
"AMENDMENT NO. 2 SCHEDULE TENDER OFFER STATEMENT UNDER SECTION 14(d)(1)"
A phrase indicating that a company plans or intends to hold an event, publish information, or take an action at a specified future time, but that the timing is not guaranteed and may change. For investors it signals an expected milestone—like an earnings call, product launch, or filing—so think of it as a calendar note rather than a firm promise; timing shifts can affect trading, expectations, and planning.
American Depositary Shares (ADSs) financial
"offer by the Company to purchase for cash up to 39 million American Depositary Shares"
A U.S.-listed certificate that stands for a specific number of shares in a non‑U.S. company held by a U.S. bank, making the foreign stock tradable on American exchanges in dollars. Think of it like a local voucher that represents ownership of an overseas product — it lets U.S. investors buy and sell foreign companies without handling foreign currency or foreign brokerage accounts, but it can affect dividends, voting rights, fees, liquidity and exposure to currency and regulatory differences.
Offer to Purchase financial
"the Offer to Purchase, dated May 26, 2026, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(A)"
An offer to purchase is a formal proposal from one party to buy a specific amount of shares or assets from another party at a set price. It matters to investors because it signals interest in acquiring ownership and can influence the value or control of a company. Think of it as someone putting forward a clear, serious offer to buy something they find valuable.
