treasury financial

"The repurchased Class A ordinary shares will be held in treasury."

The treasury is the department or area within a government or organization responsible for managing its money, finances, and financial strategies. It handles tasks like collecting revenue, paying bills, and planning for future financial needs, much like a household manages its budget. For investors, understanding the treasury is important because it influences interest rates, government spending, and overall economic stability.

share buyback program financial

"The repurchases form part of the Company's share buyback program announced on July 21, 2026"

A share buyback program is when a company uses its cash to repurchase its own outstanding shares from the market, reducing the number of shares available to investors. That matters because it can raise the value of remaining shares and signal management's confidence in the business—similar to a bakery buying back unsold loafs to make each remaining loaf represent a larger share of its oven’s output—though buybacks can also affect cash available for other uses.

Volume weighted average price financial

"Volume weighted average price paid per share | Highest price paid"

The volume weighted average price (VWAP) is a way to measure the average price of a security, such as a stock, over a specific period, taking into account how many units were traded at each price. It’s similar to calculating the average cost of items bought when some are more frequently purchased than others. Investors use VWAP to assess whether a security is being bought or sold at a fair price during trading.

Market Abuse Regulation regulatory

"In accordance with Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (the Market Abuse Regulation)"

Market abuse regulation consists of laws and rules designed to prevent dishonest or manipulative practices in financial markets. It aims to ensure fair and transparent trading, so investors can trust that markets operate honestly, much like rules that keep a game fair. By reducing unfair advantages, it helps protect investor confidence and promotes healthy, efficient markets.
