related party financial

"Where the trading counterparty is a related party, announcement shall also be made of the reason"

A related party is a person or organization with close ties to a company — for example major shareholders, board members, executives, their family, or businesses they control — that can influence decisions or enter into transactions with the company. Investors watch related‑party dealings because they can create conflicts of interest or non‑market terms that affect fairness, the company’s finances and transparency; think of it like buying or selling something to a family member rather than on the open market.

Regulations Governing the Acquisition and Disposal of Assets by Public Companies regulatory

"The price assessed in accordance with the Article 16 of the Regulations Governing the Acquisition and Disposal of Assets by Public Companies"

right-of-use asset financial

"The transaction is to acquire a real property or right-of-use asset from a related party"

A right-of-use asset is the value a company records on its balance sheet for the practical use of something it leases — like the benefit of living in a rented office or using leased equipment for a set period. Investors care because it turns many leases into on-balance-sheet assets and matching liabilities, which can change reported leverage, asset base and performance metrics much like taking on a loan would.

material information regulatory

"Procedures for Verification and Disclosure of Material Information of Companies with Listed Securities"

Material information is any fact or development that a reasonable investor would likely consider important when deciding whether to buy, sell or hold a stock—like a new product that could change a company’s prospects or a hidden debt that could hurt its finances. It matters because timely, accurate disclosure of such facts helps ensure fair prices and prevents surprises that can sharply move a stock; think of it as information that can tip the scale in an investment decision.
