American Depositary Shares financial
"in aggregate 109,704 Ordinary Shares underlying the American Depositary Shares"
American depositary shares (ADSs) are a way for investors in the United States to buy shares of foreign companies without dealing with international markets directly. They represent ownership in a foreign company's stock and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges, making it easier for American investors to buy, sell, and own parts of companies from around the world.
volume weighted average price financial
"Volume weighted average price paid"
The volume weighted average price (VWAP) is a way to measure the average price of a security, such as a stock, over a specific period, taking into account how many units were traded at each price. It’s similar to calculating the average cost of items bought when some are more frequently purchased than others. Investors use VWAP to assess whether a security is being bought or sold at a fair price during trading.
share buy-back programme financial
"These share purchases form part of the Company's existing share buy-back programme"
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.
Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 regulatory
"in accordance with Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014"
A European Union law that sets rules to prevent insider trading and market manipulation by requiring timely public disclosure of confidential company information that could affect share prices, and by governing trades by company insiders and communication rules. It matters to investors because it helps keep markets fair and transparent—like a rulebook and referee for trading—so prices reflect publicly available facts and investors can trust markets are not being rigged by people with secret information.
LEI financial
"LEI | 635400BR2ROC1FVEBQ56"
A Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a unique 20-character code assigned to a company or organization that participates in financial markets, like a corporate passport number. It helps investors and regulators unambiguously identify counterparties across databases and transactions, reducing confusion much like using a vehicle identification number to track a car’s history; clearer identification improves transparency, risk monitoring, and regulatory reporting.
ISIN financial
"ISIN: | IE00BYTBXV33"
A 12-character International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) is a unique code that acts like a passport for a specific stock, bond or other tradable security so it can be identified worldwide. Investors and systems use it to ensure they are buying, selling and tracking the exact same instrument across exchanges and data feeds, which prevents costly mix-ups and makes portfolio reporting, settlement and regulatory checks simpler and more reliable.
