Depository Receipts market

"Shares reported include 104,839,174 Depository Receipts, which represent 104,839,174 Common Stock"

A depository receipt is a tradable certificate issued by a bank that represents ownership of shares held in a foreign company, letting investors buy and sell those shares on their local stock market without dealing with the foreign exchange and custody details. Think of it as a local receipt for a piece of a foreign company kept in a secure vault abroad; it matters because it makes international investing easier, often increases liquidity, and can affect dividend payments and currency risk.

Beneficially owned regulatory

"CWI is deemed to be the beneficial owner of 341,261,769 shares or 8.0% of the 4,269,514,353 shares believed to be outstanding"

Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.

Sole Dispositive Power regulatory

"Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 341,261,769"

Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.

Schedule 13G regulatory

"Item 1. (a) Name of issuer: Vale ... Item 2. (a) Name of person filing: Capital World Investors"

A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.
