volume-weighted average price financial
"the Company has purchased 47,388,392 ordinary shares in aggregate at a volume weighted average price"
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.

"In accordance with Article 5(1)(b) of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014"
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules regulatory
"determine whether they are required to notify their interest 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 financial
"as an on-market purchase for the purposes of the Hong Kong Code on Share Buy-Backs"
share buy-back programme financial
"Since the commencement of the share buy-back programme announced on 6 January 2026"
A share buy-back programme is when a company purchases its own shares from the market. This reduces the total number of shares available, which can increase the value of remaining shares and signal confidence in the company's future. For investors, it can be a sign that the company believes its stock is undervalued and may lead to higher share prices.
