special resolutions regulatory

"Resolutions 18, 19, 21-22 and 24-25 were passed as special resolutions."

Special resolutions are shareholder votes used to approve major, permanent changes to a company—such as altering the rules, approving mergers, or changing capital structure—and they require a higher-than-normal approval level (commonly a substantial supermajority rather than a simple majority). They matter to investors because they can permanently change rights, ownership or strategy; think of them like needing more than a simple majority to pass a company’s equivalent of a constitutional change.

non pre-emptive basis financial

"To renew the directors' authority to allot equity securities on a non pre-emptive basis in connection with an offer or issue of equity securities"

Equity Convertible Notes financial

"To renew the directors' authority to allot ordinary shares or grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into ordinary shares in relation to Equity Convertible Notes"

political donations and expenditure regulatory

"To renew the authority in respect of political donations and expenditure by the Company in terms of sections 366 and 367 of the Companies Act 2006"

National Storage Mechanism regulatory

"will shortly be available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism which is located at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism"

A national storage mechanism is an official, centralized electronic repository where companies and regulators file and keep required corporate documents such as prospectuses, financial statements and regulatory disclosures. For investors it is the authoritative public source to find and verify key papers — like using a government-run public archive or filing cabinet — so you can check the original documents for due diligence, compliance and to confirm claims made in news or marketing.
