Key Terms

5 terms

Class I Directors regulatory

"Class I Directors were re-appointed to serve until the general meeting to be held in 2029"

Class I directors are the subset of a company’s board whose terms expire at a specific annual meeting under a staggered election system that divides directors into multiple groups with different re-election years. For investors this matters because staggered classes slow how quickly shareholders can replace the board, affecting takeover risk, governance change and the pace of corporate decisions — like rotating only part of a team instead of swapping everyone at once.

independent registered public accounting firm regulatory

"Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting"

An independent registered public accounting firm is an outside accounting company officially registered with the government regulator to examine and report on a public company's financial records and controls. Investors treat its reports like an impartial inspector’s certificate — they add credibility to financial statements, help spot errors or misleading claims, and reduce the risk that shareholders are relying on unchecked or biased numbers.

treasury shares financial

"any shares that are purchased may be held as treasury shares should the directors of the Company so decide"

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.

Proxy Statement regulatory

"three (3) of the Company’s directors specifically named in the Proxy Statement"

A proxy statement is a document companies send to shareholders ahead of a meeting that lays out the items up for a vote—like who will sit on the board, executive pay, and major corporate decisions—and provides background so shareholders can decide how to cast their votes or appoint someone to vote for them. Think of it as an agenda plus a ballot and briefing notes, important because the outcomes can change control, strategy, and value.

Audit and Governance Committee regulatory

"until otherwise decided by the Company’s Audit and Governance Committee, and the Audit Committee will determine the remuneration"
