American Depositary Shares financial

"The transaction involved <b>American Depositary Shares</b> of Takeda Pharmaceutical Co Ltd."

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.

weighted average price financial

"The price reported is a <b>weighted average price</b> with details available on request."

Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.

mandatory sale to cover taxes financial

"Represents a <b>mandatory sale to cover taxes</b> associated with vesting equity awards."
