American Depositary Share financial
"Each American Depositary Share represents 100 ordinary shares"
An American Depositary Share (ADS) is a U.S.-listed certificate that represents a specified number of shares in a foreign company, held by a custodian bank; it works like a receipt that allows U.S. investors to buy and trade foreign equity on American exchanges without dealing with another country’s markets. Investors care because ADSs make foreign stocks easier to access, improve liquidity and settlement in dollars, and can affect dividend payments, voting rights and regulatory oversight compared with buying the underlying foreign shares directly.
vesting financial
"Includes 2,757,500 shares subject to vesting"
Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.

"INSIDER FILING DATA (Form 4/A)"
Form 4/A is an amended filing that corrects or updates an earlier Form 4, the mandatory report that insiders (like company executives, directors, or large shareholders) must file when their ownership stakes change. Think of it as an edited receipt showing who bought or sold stock and when; investors use it to track insider confidence, detect potential conflicts, and spot trading patterns that might signal future company prospects.
