record date financial
"The record date for the AGM has been set for March 31, 2026."
The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.
external auditor financial
"the re- appointment of UHY LLP as external auditor of the financial statements"
An external auditor is an independent, third-party professional who reviews a company’s financial records and reports to confirm they are accurate and follow the rules. Like a home inspector checking a house before you buy, an external auditor gives investors assurance that the numbers reflect reality, which affects trust, the perceived risk of the company, and therefore investment decisions and value.
digital operator financial
"VEON is a digital operator that provides connectivity and digital services"
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This release contains “forward-looking statements”, within the meaning of the Section 27A"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
