"412 Ordinary Shares were inadvertently omitted from the reporting person's original Form 3"
An amended Form 3 (Form 3/A) is a corrected or updated disclosure filed with regulators that revises an insider’s initial report of their ownership in a public company — typically for officers, directors or large shareholders. Investors use it like a corrected inventory list: it clarifies who owns how many shares and whether earlier reports had errors, helping assess insider confidence, possible conflicts and the accuracy of ownership records that can affect stock valuation and trust.
beneficial ownership financial
"The running balance of beneficial ownership reflected in each such Form 4 should be recalculated"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
