Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities regulatory
"NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTION PERSON DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES ("PDMR")"
A person discharging managerial responsibilities is an individual who holds a senior role with authority to make or influence a company’s strategic or operational decisions, such as executives, board members, or other top managers. Investors care because these people often have access to confidential information and their buying or selling of company shares must be disclosed—like a referee who knows the score before the crowd, their actions can signal important, non-public insights about a company's prospects.

dividend reinvestment financial
"through the reinvestment of the final dividend in respect of the year ended 31 December 2025"
Dividend reinvestment is when the money earned from a company's profit sharing, called dividends, is automatically used to buy more shares of that company instead of being received as cash. This process helps investors grow their holdings over time without extra effort, much like using earned interest to buy more of a savings account. It encourages long-term investment growth by continuously increasing the amount of shares owned.
