scrip dividend financial
"a scrip dividend alternative in respect of the dividend, offered in accordance"
A scrip dividend is an option that lets shareholders receive extra company shares instead of a cash payout, with the number of shares based on how many shares they already own. It matters to investors because it preserves the company’s cash while increasing the total shares outstanding, which can dilute each share’s claim on profits and change an investor’s ownership percentage and expected income — like choosing an extra slice of pie now rather than getting money for it.
Evergreen Scrip Dividend Scheme financial
"offered in accordance with the Evergreen Scrip Dividend Scheme Terms and Conditions"
Hong Kong trading days financial
"expected to take place within 14 Hong Kong trading days of the completion"
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.
secondary listing financial
"It also has a secondary listing on the Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX: K6S)"
A secondary listing is when a company that is already publicly traded adds a listing on another stock exchange, so its shares can be bought and sold in a different country or market. For investors it matters because it can increase the pool of buyers and sellers, improve liquidity, and expose the stock to different time zones, currencies and rules—think of a store opening a second branch so more customers can shop more easily.
