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.
voting rights financial
"Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 149,497,985."
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.

issued share capital financial
"its issued share capital consists of 154,929,767 ordinary shares..."
Issued share capital is the total value or number of a company's shares that have been created and given to investors, employees or others; think of it as the slices of a cake that have already been cut and distributed. It matters to investors because it determines ownership percentages, potential voting power and how future share sales can dilute existing holdings, affecting share value and control.
