Restricted Share Units financial

"ADSs acquired upon vesting of Restricted Share Units ("RSUs")."

Restricted share units (RSUs) are a promise from a company to give an employee or service provider actual shares or cash equal to the shares after certain conditions are met, typically staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them like a time-locked gift card that becomes usable only after you’ve earned it. For investors, RSUs matter because they align employee incentives with company performance and can increase the number of shares outstanding over time, diluting existing ownership and affecting earnings per share.

Performance-Based Share Units financial

"Each performance-based share unit ("PSU") represents a contingent right"

Performance-based share units are a type of long-term pay award that entitles employees to receive company stock or cash only if the business meets predetermined financial or operational goals over a set period. For investors they matter because these awards align employee incentives with company performance—like tying a coach’s bonus to wins—so they can affect future share count, signal management’s confidence in targets, and influence reported compensation expense and shareholder value.

American Depositary Shares financial

"Each American Depositary Share ("ADS") represents ten Ordinary Shares"

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.

"Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one ADS."
