person discharging managerial responsibilities regulatory
"Notification and public disclosure of transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities and persons closely associated with them"
A person discharging managerial responsibilities is an individual who holds a senior role with authority to make or influence a company’s strategic or operational decisions, such as executives, board members, or other top managers. Investors care because these people often have access to confidential information and their buying or selling of company shares must be disclosed—like a referee who knows the score before the crowd, their actions can signal important, non-public insights about a company's prospects.

American Depositary Receipts financial
"a listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: PUK) in the form of American Depositary Receipts"
A certificate traded on U.S. markets that represents ownership of shares in a foreign company, letting U.S. investors buy and sell that company as if it were listed domestically. Think of it as a local voucher for a foreign product: it makes price quotes in dollars, trades on familiar exchanges, and brings differences in liquidity, fees and legal protections that can affect returns and risk compared with buying the underlying foreign shares directly.
