FAQ
BDO Sponsored Level 1 American Depositary Receipt (ADR) *
* The following does not contain all information that may be important to you. For more complete information, we recommend that you refer to the deposit agreement and the form of American Depositary Receipt, which contains the American Depositary Share terms.
An American Depositary Receipt (ADR) is a negotiable US dollar-denominated certificate representing ownership of shares in a non-US company. Holders of ADRs receive dividends in US dollars and have the right to vote on shareholders’ resolutions, at the Company’s discretion.
The term ADR and ADS (American Depositary Shares) are often used interchangeably. ADRs were specifically designed to facilitate the purchase, holding and sale of non-U.S. securities by US investors.
In a sponsored Level 1 ADR program, the ADRs are not listed on a US stock exchange, but are traded in the US Over-the-Counter (OTC) market, mainly on the Pink Sheets electronic market.
An ADR ratio is the relationship between the number of ADRs and the number of underlying ordinary shares it represents.
U.S. investors may prefer to purchase ADRs rather than ordinary shares in the issuer’s home market because ADRs trade, clear and settle according to U.S. market conventions. ADRs also allow easy comparison to securities of similar companies as well as access to price and trading information.
ADR issuers are typically large multinational corporations. Any non-U.S. company seeking to raise capital in the U.S. or increase their base of U.S. investors can issue ADRs.
BDO established this program to provide flexibility for U.S. investors to trade BDO common shares in their time zone and settle their transactions locally. As well, the program intends to tap the pool of U.S. ADR investors, enhance the Bank’s visibility and global presence, and diversify and broaden the Bank’s shareholder base.
The Bank launched its Sponsored Level 1 ADR Program on 18 April 2013.
The Bank appointed Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (Deutsche Bank) as the depositary bank for the BDO ADR facility.
As depositary bank, Deutsche Bank performs the following roles for ADR holders, as further detailed in the Deposit Agreement:
- Records and maintains the register of ADR holders;
- Acts as the stock transfer agent;
- Distributes dividends in U.S. dollars;
- Facilitates the voting process and the exercise of the voting rights of ADR holders at any Company General Meeting if permitted by the Company and the Depositary Agreement;
- Issues and cancels BDO Unibank American Depositary Receipts (ADRs)
- Distributes Company circulars and General Meeting (including Annual General Meeting) documentation
BDO Unibank ADRs are traded in the Pink Sheets Electronic OTC (over the counter) market.
You can refer to the Pink Sheets website.
The ADR ratio is 10:1, i.e., each BDO Unibank ADR represents ten (10) underlying BDO Unibank ordinary shares deposited with the depositary bank, and carry the rights attached to them as detailed in the Depositary Agreement.

You can contact Deutsche Bank broker services desk on +12122509100 or +442075476500.
A registered holder is one whose name appears on the books of the depositary. The registered holder is considered the owner of record.
A beneficial holder is one whose holdings are registered in a name other than their own, such as in the name of a broker, bank or nominee.
For those holders who are not registered because their ADSs are held through a ‘Street name’ (nominee account), their nominee will receive Company documents from time to time from Deutsche Bank to distribute to ADR holders. Said holders also need to make arrangements with their nominee if they wish to receive such documents and to be able to exercise their vote through the depositary bank at General Meetings.
