5 terms

voting rights financial

"the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 2,521,242,327"

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.

Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules regulatory

"notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules"

Disclosure guidance and transparency rules are the standards and regulations that require companies to share clear, timely information about their finances, risks, operations and material events. They matter to investors because consistent, honest reporting is like a car’s dashboard — it reveals the data you need to judge safety and performance and make informed buying or selling decisions. Strong disclosure reduces surprises and helps keep markets fair and efficient.

on-market purchase regulatory

"as an on-market purchase for the purposes of the Hong Kong Code on Share Buy-Backs"

Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 regulatory

"In accordance with Article 5(1)(b) of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014"

volume-weighted average price financial

"Volume-weighted average price | Aggregated volume | Lowest price per share"

Volume-weighted average price (VWAP) is the average price of a stock over a specific time period where each trade is weighted by the number of shares traded, so larger trades influence the average more than small ones. Investors and traders use VWAP as a reference point to judge whether trades are happening at relatively good or poor prices—like checking the average price paid for an item at a market where bulk purchases count more than single-item buys.
