"in accordance with The Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024"
A set of regulatory rules titled “public offers and admissions to trading regulations 2024” governs how companies can sell securities to the public and how those securities can be listed or admitted for trading on organized markets. These rules ensure companies disclose clear information, follow standardized steps and meet eligibility checks so investors can compare opportunities, understand risks, and trade with confidence—like a traffic code that keeps markets orderly and safer for everyone.
fungible financial
"Fungibility | Fully fungible with existing Ordinary Shares"
Fungible describes an asset that is interchangeable with another of the same kind because each unit holds the same value and function. For investors this matters because fungible assets are easier to trade, price, and store—think of cash or grains where one unit can replace another, unlike a unique artwork or a signed collectible which may be worth more or less depending on provenance. Fungibility affects liquidity, market efficiency, and how assets are settled or regulated.
