voting rights financial

"Total number of voting rights held in issuer Resulting situation"

Voting rights are the ability of shareholders to have a say in important company decisions, like choosing leaders or approving big changes. They matter because they give owners a voice in how the company is run, similar to how voters influence elections, ensuring the company acts in shareholders’ interests.

Depositary Receipts financial

"Depositary Receipts (US74435K2042) | | At any time"

A depositary receipt is a certificate issued by a bank that represents ownership of shares in a foreign company and can be bought and sold on a local stock exchange. Think of it as a proxy share held in a safe abroad so investors can trade and receive dividends in their own market and currency, making it easier to access foreign companies while exposing investors to the issuer’s underlying business and cross‑border risks.
