treasury shares financial

"Of those ordinary shares, no shares were held as treasury shares"

Treasury shares are a company’s own stock that it has repurchased and keeps on its books instead of canceling or leaving in the hands of outside investors. Think of them like coupons a business puts back in a drawer: they don’t vote or receive dividends while held, but they can be reissued later for employee pay or fundraising. For investors this matters because buybacks change the number of shares that count toward earnings and ownership, can boost per‑share metrics, and use corporate cash that might otherwise go to growth or dividends.

Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5.6.1 regulatory

"made in accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5.6.1"

voting rights financial

"there were 2,184,951,596 shares with voting rights"

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.

ordinary shares financial

"issued share capital as at 30 April 2026 consisted of 2,185,205,247 ordinary shares"

Ordinary shares are a type of ownership stake in a company, giving shareholders a right to participate in the company’s profits and decision-making through voting. They are similar to owning a piece of a business, and their value can rise or fall based on the company's performance. Investors buy ordinary shares to potentially earn dividends and benefit from the company's growth over time.
