tranche financial
"the first tranche of the Programme, which the Company announced on 17 February 2026, completed on 24 April 2026"
A tranche is one slice of a larger financing or investment that is released, sold, or paid out in separate parts rather than all at once. Investors care because each slice can carry different risk, return and timing—like buying pieces of a cake where some slices are richer or come later—so the specific tranche you hold affects when you get paid and how much you might gain or lose.
Volume weighted average price financial
"Volume weighted average price | Trading venue 20 April 2026 | 10,000 | USD 98.8100"
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 as it applies in the UK (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.
