treasury financial

"of which 5,431,782 ordinary shares are held in treasury."

The treasury is the department or area within a government or organization responsible for managing its money, finances, and financial strategies. It handles tasks like collecting revenue, paying bills, and planning for future financial needs, much like a household manages its budget. For investors, understanding the treasury is important because it influences interest rates, government spending, and overall economic stability.

total voting rights financial

"Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 148,162,113."

The total voting rights number is the count of shares that carry the right to vote at a company’s shareholder meetings, reflecting how much voting power exists in the market. Investors use it to understand control and influence—like knowing how many votes are in play when measuring ownership stakes, calculating a shareholder’s voting percentage, or assessing how easy it would be for a holder to sway decisions.

Disclosure and Transparency Rule 5.6.1 regulatory

"In accordance with Disclosure and Transparency Rule 5.6.1, the Company announces"

denominator financial

"The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations"

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.
