ADS Holders financial

"to collect instructions from ADS Holders and tabulate votes ahead of the Share Scheme Meeting"

ADS holders are investors who own American Depositary Shares, which are certificates traded on U.S. markets that represent ownership of a foreign company's ordinary shares. Think of an ADS as a receipt that lets U.S. investors buy and sell a piece of a foreign company without dealing with a foreign stock exchange; this matters because ADS holders are affected by the underlying company’s performance, dividends, and any corporate actions, but also by currency, custody arrangements, and U.S. trading rules.

record date financial

"the record date for ADS Holders’ entitlement to vote has been brought forward"

The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.

Share Scheme Meeting financial

"ahead of the Share Scheme Meeting to be held at 10:00 am (Sydney time) on 29 May 2026"

Depositary financial

"BNY Mellon, acting as Depositary, will collect voting instructions"

A depositary is a financial institution that holds and safeguards financial assets, such as stocks or bonds, on behalf of investors. It ensures that ownership records are accurate and that transactions are processed securely. For investors, a depositary provides a trustworthy way to manage their investments, similar to a secure vault that keeps valuables safe and organized.

Tintina Gold Belt financial

"in the prolific Tintina Gold Belt – a province hosting a >220 million ounce (Moz) documented gold endowment"
