What is an American Depositary Receipt?
An American Depositary Receipt or ADR is a negotiable U.S. certificate representing ownership of shares in a non-U.S. based corporation. ADRs are quoted and traded in U.S. dollars on the Nasdaq. ADRs are specifically intended to facilitate the purchase, ownership and sale of non-U.S. securities by investors based in the U.S.
What are the benefits of ADRs to U.S. investors?
ADRs have the advantage of trading, clearing and settling according to U.S. market conventions, unlike ordinary shares in the issuer’s home market. In this way, ADRs facilitate diversification into foreign securities. ADRs also allow easy comparison to securities of similar companies as well as access to price and trading information, if listed.
What types of companies issue ADRs?
ADRs are issued by non-U.S. based companies looking to engage the U.S. market in order to diversify their investor base, raise capital or offer U.S.-type employee share-plans. Typically ADR’s are issued by large, non-U.S. based multinational companies.
Where can I get information and updates on an ADR company?
If you are an investor you will receive annual reports and proxy materials in English. As is the case with most ADR issuers Trinity Biotech publishes investor information on the company website. Information is also provided on the main depositary bank websites, and all ADR issuers can be tracked on the main U.S. financial websites. ADRs listed on U.S. exchanges provide holders with the same level of information as any other U.S. security. Trading information is readily available, financials are reconciled to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and the SEC regulates the Company's disclosure to investor.
