About ADRs

An ADR is a negotiable US security which is issued by a US based depositary bank
and represents underlying shares of a non-US company. ADRs are priced in US
dollars, and allow US investors to buy and sell ADRs of non-US companies in a
similar way to buying or selling shares of US domestic companies, reducing or
eliminating settlement delays, high transaction costs, and other potential
inconveniences associated with international securities trading.

An ADR is created when a broker purchases a company's shares on the home stock
market and delivers those shares to the depositary's local custodian bank, which
then instructs the depositary bank to issue ADRs. ADRs are treated in the same
manner as other US securities for clearance, settlement, transfer and ownership
purposes.
