"TRANSACTIONS BY PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS"
Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities are the key people in a company who make big decisions, like top managers or executives. Knowing who they are is important because their actions can influence the company’s success or failure, and they are often required to share information about their dealings to ensure transparency for investors and the public.
Market Abuse Regimes regulatory
"IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE EU AND UK MARKET ABUSE REGIMES"
