trading plan financial
"the PDMRs set out below each entered into a trading plan on 3 August 2026"
A trading plan is a written set of rules an investor follows about what to buy or sell, when to enter and exit positions, and how much risk to accept—like a travel itinerary that maps the route, stops, and budget before a trip. It matters because it helps remove emotional decisions during market swings, enforces discipline, and makes performance easier to review and improve, reducing the chance of costly impulsive moves.

"in accordance with Article 19 the UK Market Abuse Regulation"
nominal value financial
"the nominal value of ordinary shares without rounding is £1.076923076923077 per share"
Nominal value is the stated or face amount assigned to a financial instrument — for shares it’s the par value printed on the stock certificate, and for money or returns it can mean the number not adjusted for inflation. Think of it like a price tag on an item versus its buying power: the tag tells you the label, but not how much you can actually buy. Investors care because nominal values affect accounting, legal capital, dividend calculations and comparisons over time when inflation may distort real worth.
Legal Entity Identifier regulatory
"Legal Entity Identifier: 2138005O9XJIJN4JPN90"
A legal entity identifier (LEI) is a unique, standardized code that functions like a global ID card for businesses and organizations involved in financial markets. It helps investors and regulators reliably identify who is on the other side of a deal, trace ownership and links between firms, and reduce confusion or fraud — improving transparency for reporting, risk assessment, and cross-border trades.
