ADR program

Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ ADR (American Depositary Receipt) shares trade on the NYSE. The first trading day on the NYSE for the common ADRs was October 1, 1996.

An ADR is a negotiable U.S. certificate representing ownership of shares in a non-U.S. corporation. Two ordinary ADRs correspond to one ordinary share of Ä¢¹½´«Ã½. ADR holders are entitled to all dividends, which will be distributed in U.S. dollars. Other distributions and rights pertaining to the underlying Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ shares will be made available to ADR holders if applicable. Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ ADRs are quoted in U.S. dollars and are traded on the NYSE in the same fashion as U.S. stock. ADRs facilitate the process for U.S. investors to invest in Ä¢¹½´«Ã½.

ADR Issuers with a listing on a U.S. stock exchange must comply with the registration and reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This entails, among other things, the filing of a Form 20-F on an annual basis, and full compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
