volume-weighted average price financial
"Venue | Volume-weighted average price | Aggregated volume"
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.
voting rights financial
"the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 2,526,209,110"
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.
on-market purchase financial
"as an on-market purchase for the purposes of the Hong Kong Code on Share Buy-Backs"
Market Abuse Regulation regulatory
"In accordance with Article 5(1)(b) of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014"
Market abuse regulation consists of laws and rules designed to prevent dishonest or manipulative practices in financial markets. It aims to ensure fair and transparent trading, so investors can trust that markets operate honestly, much like rules that keep a game fair. By reducing unfair advantages, it helps protect investor confidence and promotes healthy, efficient markets.
